EXPOS ARE FOR TEXT BATTLES

The only time audio heads venture into text is as a stop gap too fill time when writing AND recording is too much hassle or simply isn't viable at that moment in time/curiosity.

lmaooo good one.

Eh. I've taken my fair share of criticism. Usually doesn't hit home too hard anymore, especially when there's nothing constructive to pull from it. I'm real disappointed with the tournaments turnout and also that I only have credit for my titles and tournament showings because 'other people didn't show up' but what else can I really do?

I feel like I've got a decently solid résumé but I doubt ill ever be taken seriously here as anything other than a topical head because of the way my voice sounds.

Both battlers have the opportunity to do it so its not swaying or unfair at all. Why should audio dudes not have the same right to explain things people might not catch just cause they're spitting it? That makes no sense to me, if anything it should be more frowned upon in text because the verse is already there for the voter to see and digest at their own pace.

real shit...i dont see how expos could be swaying in audio,most of tha battles are only a minute and some people spit alot of material in that time...most people aint gon re-listen to make sure they understood everything...why deprive ourself of tha ability to expo our bars just because live battlers cant?? if you lose a battle because tha other person expo'd their shit, then you aint deserve tha win anyways

i disagree with tha textcee's dominatin tha audio side if they wanted...but that's just me

Actually, Text battles you don't really need ANY expos..you can read everything in front of you. You'd be able to catch any metaphor or word play that anyone would feel they need to have an expo for. Audio battles however are slightly different...you have nothing in front of you to go off of. There isn't a script sitting in front of every voter dropping votes on a audio. Either the rhyme scheme is so complex that you just don't get the metaphor or word play, etc..when listening...
In ACTUAL rap battles they don't stop and give expos...INSTEAD to better make sure the crowd understood the content, they usually repeat the bar..."I said......bla bla bla" but in a 1 minute or 2 minute battle you don't really have the time to do that if you're trying to keep within the time restrictions. So basically the Mods are telling you to STOP SWAYING. not stop leaving an Expo...Because you do sway battles... with the site revamp and all I think a suitable punishment for swaying on a battle should be whoever swayed gets their verse and whatever sway comment, deleted and the battle re opened. But I'm not worried, JReddy can't even come with something complex enough to need an Expo.

If your audio bars can't be understood because they're 'too complex' you're a shitty writer not a genius that's too smart to be deciphered. You shouldn't need an expo for any format. But it does sway so I'm not above it when my opponent does it.

Fucking lizmans left and right.

We Have Had WAY More Text To Audio Guys Successfully Dominate The Scene. Illimit, Real Talk, remarK, Jason, UNKNOWN ARTIST/YOU WISH, Mayneak, Dono, Krhyme Killz, RULE, etc.

[J u s T C]

None of them have won anything in audio besides Killz and UA.

And the only reason the transition from text to audio is more common is because it's a natural progression and not many audio heads fuck with text the same way texters do with audio.

So out of all the texters to make the leap to audio. only 2 of them have champed in audio in 7 years. Both of those were accapella, a texters strong suit due to their live battle circuit inspiration and writing style.

Yet mainly beat based (only audio) audio battlers have won equal if not more accapella tourneys whilst completely dominating on beat battles.

sounds like a legit statement...

[Fredo Lombardi]

Thats LB members trying to be complex but truth of the matter is its not really that complex
to need an expo for you should only do an expo if people ask for one

like its on some prime Lupe Fiasco metaphor type shit but i doubt members writing like that

Hahaha I think since im one of the only fellows to like you I better give you props on that ending to your comment cause everyone will pretend they didnt read it. Dont get me wrong, i understand why people hate you its obvious but thats why i love ya buddy...haha nice play on the EXPO rip

As far as the Explanation in the comments section, I agree wit JReddy's initial post in the thread. There is no need for them, I dont need someone telling me that an Arnold Palmer is a golfer when this whole time i really thought he was just a half lemonade half ice tea, or explain when they say "this IRISH bitch got my dick DUBLIN in size......(Doubling/Dublin).....its like no shit dude i get that your dick is now at a whopping four inches from some irish dude givin you a lappy...it insults my intelligence and takes up too much room in the comment section. Where am I suppposed to write my 1500 word essays if Mr Expo Dusch keeps hogging up my space..On the real, I do agree wit JRed...see you fuckers in hell
