It's not that he's actually dissing Jason; it's just not necessary to make these stupid "raps". If they wanted to joke with each other, they could just do it in private because people like DJ are just littering the writing forum with this annoying shit. Other people who made Jason dissing raps had their topics closed. I don't see why this hasn't been closed yet.

Okay, I don't see why you have to close these threads. Just because you don't appreciate a part of hip hop for what it is (not all but some of you) doesn't necessarily give you the right to just close down threads and attack people for doing something they enjoy. Battling is a part of rapping and the hip hop culture. How can you not consider a "rap" writing? Lots of lyrics have many aspects of poetry such as metaphors and alliteration and multi-syllable rhyme schemes. If you guys dislike it soooooo much, why don't you atleast bring another sub forum for it. If not, this malfeasance has got to stop. I know im a new member and all and I know that there are already people who don't like me and most of you don't know me but shit, hip hop is something I love so why should I or anyone else be stifled from presenting hip hop in lyrical writing or battle tracks?

Um, that's not why I'm saying it..

We just don't want a lot of negativity on the forums. Even if you're just joking, others might take it seriously and be mad at Person A for saying something bad about Person B, etc. Yea..

I'm not against hip-hop or rap, even though I don't usually listen to it..I do listen to Missy Elliot, Kanye West, and Ciara on occasion, though. I'm just saying..

To me, this is the definition of member bashing:

Directly insulting a member by name, including name-calling, racism, discrimination, etc.

According to that definition in my little brain, the rap battles constitute as member bashing. If you guys just like, did on AIM or something, there wouldn't be a problem at all..

Or maybe you just don't want the writing forum clouded with these stupid topics. I said this many times, the point of a rap battle is to degrade and humiliate your opponent, whethere your opponent is your friend or a stranger. It's just like sports, you try and beat the opposing team. Both sides know not to take it personally because it's the point of the battle, and I think the people who are against it because of "member bashing" are the same people who don't understand hip hop culture or don't like rap music.
