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?

If someone actually wrote a rap that wasn't part of a battle meant for fun, then yes, it would belong in Writing. However, from what you people have explained to me, rap battling is a game meant to make people laugh. Here:

My dad is such a loser. He's just a big boozer. He only likes his beer. We talk and he can't hear.

That rhymes, but is that an artistic venture? No, it's just a rant insulting my dad. It's meant to either make people laugh at my dad or entertain people with my complaining. If I posted that in Writing, would you agree that it should be there?

Rap battling is an integral part of Hip-Hop which involves quick thinking and writing abilities. Calling it a "game meant to make people laugh" ... SMH. SHAKING MY HEAD. Punchlines are meant to induce humor at the expence at your opponent, but it is not a "whoever tells the funniest joke" event. Maybe Jason and Dejay don't realize it, but line structure, multi - sylabble rhyming, using double meanings, and flipping the other person's words are just as important as humorous punchlines. It's much more than rhyming two words.

Topics in writing shouldn't be deleted because of the quality of the piece. If a joke in humor is not funny at all, it won't be deleted. If a recipe in food tastes nasty, it won't be deleted. If a outfit you make in fashion is horrible looking like Ciara at the BET awards, it won't be deleted.
