that it was a lot easier to those who were battling in 06, 07 or 08 cuz not as many lines were played back in the time. now you can't think of any good line cuz it WILL BE played. i know there's plenty of new shit to think about but just saying it's getting harder to write a verse and stay dope troughout.
but there's always someone tho, few dopes who can actually think of a good verse. & i'm talking LB only, no misunderstanding.

That's Moore's law of technological progression pervaded through a hip-hop text battler. Wow...I've seen everything.

No seriously though...It's not the 'played lines' it's the played executions of the ideas. Just because someone else said the same thing as someone else doesn't make the angle played. I think you need to take that into consideration. There's 100s of thousands of words in the dictionary, and I'm sure this site has only seen a small fraction of them. Step the vocab and current events swag up!

Send 8 and I'll give you an excellent example

Agree w/ Rhet But Also Try Taking Some Time Out To Study And See Whats Happening Around The World There Are Always Different Things That You Can Use To Come Up w/ a Punch Even Using Old Shit .. I Think Us Older Dudes Have An Advantage Because We Have Seen More of The Shit We Write About And Have Lived It .. But I Have Been Seeing Some ol Concepts Used Real Good AS of Late

Word. It's just good battling strategy imo. Know who your audience is (LB=pot smokin fornicating hip-hop enthusiasts) and find creative angles that appeal to not only the people who's giving the votes out, but also the person's head you're trying to sever as well.

Me. I could honestly not give a fuck. I write shit that's funny to me. You ever listen to two comedy joints back to back? You'll hear the same subject matter in both just executed differently. I bet you don't listen to the 2nd one and go Nahh, that's played son. GB FV VB lol you know!?

agree with everyone but most of the cats just see concept and if there's anything that's said before then your line is played and doesn't punch or something..
i'm not talking about myself, it hasn't happened to me but it's what i see from some people. bullshiiiiiiiiiiiit. ex : so you're battling erupt and if you use anything about volcano eruption or any other eruption it's played, what's really sad about this that it is actually played lol.
this can happen when battling anyone. a lots of people used TNT line against me so everybody will say it's played no matter what vocab you use or execution.

take it how you want, it's the truth
