Okay. The last thread died, but it was shit regardless. We're gonna do this the ****ing hard way. We're gonna split up into 4 teams of about 8 people. And we're gonna battle, each team is going to have a leader. Now, we can either have the first person to claim leader become the leader, or we all sign up until we have the maximum amount of people, and then we will all interbattle until the semi-finals were there are only 4 people left. These four people will become the leaders of the teams, randomly assigned. I will assign the battles. Now, I'm going to show you the rules.

This is ripped from JeeJuh. Go there if you want, but you'll get the shit kicked out of you until you get better.


Introduction

First of all. Why read what I’mma put out there? Why listen to a nigga named Dope Antelope? Ignore the name, I’ve been battling for years and elevated with the help of others, this a bible for new cats to read, just to help you elevate, get better, read the Bible and learn from it yo.

Structure

To some people this shit is important. Havin a good structure improves the readability of ya drops, makes it more cleaner adding punctuation and structuring your wording correct so its freeflowing and not stretched. The most basic bit of advice I can give is keep ya syllables in the bars the same, when you advance you can get away with doing different structures but for a basic, readable structure, make ya lines equal length or near enough.

Antelope spitting sick anecdotes hes emphatic yo
Sling puns like catapults n leave ya maggots soaked.
Near enough.

WORDPLAY

Wordplays important, its a technical aspect in writtens that shows creativity. Mostly based on words, associating them with things. It can be double meanings of words, makin words mean different things, it’s basically just a play on words. You’ll catch me using wordplay A LOT.

Example:

I’mma make you 8-5/ate five like eating half a 10 slice Pizza
Lines get more Nose/no’s than Pinnochio
Couldn’t win a tourney/attorney at an auction for lawyers.

This is Double meaning wordplay. It’s also just a matter of getting words that sound like eachother and connecting them to a punch.

Other types of wordplay include slicing/combining words to mean something else. Example:

You fail in this con-test like Convicts takin S.A.T.s
Con-test/contest. Con/test convict/s.a.ts
Couldn’t make a class-sick spreading swineflu in highschool.
Classic/class sick.


It's a tough category to master, but once you get used to it, you’ll be using wordplay in everyday life just to make a punchline.

Set Ups

Set ups are important to some people, unimportant to others. Some people just use their set ups as filler, a bunch of multies, then a punch. Like:

Against someone called I-Rhyme

Rhymes raw, lines concernin ya and my rhymes transforming ya
..i aint an optometrist but i can still see I/eyes cornia/cornier.

This is a wack set up, the first line doesn’t relate to the punch. Now, in battles it doesn’t have to relate, but it helps you look stronger. The bar overall blends nicer if you relate the content of the punch in ya set up, a little wordplay, or something relating won’t hurt:

Cheesy cat, You my Pupil I see through you, so I'm warnin' ya
and I aint an optomotrist but I can still see that I/Eye's Cornea

Pupil/see through you/optometrist/eyes cornea. It all relates, gives a stronger presence in the bar.
But like I said it’s all subjective, some battlers like relating it, some just go for random multies, some even add separate wordplay/metaphors in the set up.

MULTIES
See Kryptics multie syllable guide:

These are multiple syllable rhymes. It’s all in the name, all the syllables in the phrase/word gotta rhyme.
The best technique is shown in Kryptics Multi Syllable thread. Kryptic himself will be writing up His Multie Technique manual again since it’s been deleted for some reason, so hold tight, this thread will be edited with his version...But I’ll drop a short explanation of what a Multi actually is for those in a rush.

Multies help ya rhyming look better and actually help ya verse flow even better. Overall, multies are useful for writtens, it helps writers flow cleaner with long words. It’s just a very useful technique.

Examples of 2 syllable Multies:

2 syllablle multies:

Grip gats
Bitch Slap
Rip Raps

Check the syllables, bitch/grip/rip/slap/gat/rap they rhyme. Say it in a bar using more of the same syllables and check the flow

Yo I grip gats but ya spits wack so you’ll get bitch slapped
and I rip raps but you pricks lack any kind of sick tracks...

Words/syllables do not have to rhyme perfectly, people have different accents and slurs, but try ya best to make them rhyme as accurately as possible.

Three Syllable multies

Killing Dope
Sick with those
Ripping Folks
Bitches Soaked
Spits will choke

Seperate the syllables, they all roughly rhyme. Spit/diss/rip/sick/ing/with/will/choke/soaked/folks/those/dope.

I’m ripping folks thinking of Killing Dope my Spits will Choke
Rhymes i’m sick with those and leave all these bitches Soaked.

Here’s an Example of a Multi Heavy written, Posted by Kryptic:

"walked the path of a 'thousand-enemies', each step all I 'found-were-memories'.
Where anarchy 'surrounded-energies' & allegiant souls were 'bound-to-cemeteries'.
Forgotten soldiers 'blessed-with-death', laying as the fallen, 'left-to-rest'.
In the dense soils 'crest-they-nest', waiting for god to 'attest-their-quest'.
I gaze out at the 'seas-of-legions', bodies cascaded 'deceased-from-bleeding'.
...etc"
Multies are highlighted. Say the syllables, rhyme ya syllables. Its tough but once you grasp it you’ll always use them...
EDIT: I don't wanna go too technical cuz Kryps gonna drop a detailed explanation.


Rhyme Schemes

I like to switch up my rhyme schemes, in some battles where I don’t care I will have a really weird one. But most battlers like to do this sort of rhyme scheme:

multi shitblahmother****hashit multi
multi shitblahmother****ashit multi.

Some people switch it up and do shit like:

Multie mother****ershitblah Multi
shitbitch****nutchaplainshit Multi
shit bitch multi shitbtich multi
multi blahblahblahblahblah multi

Once you grasp multie concepts you’ll know how to have a different rhyme scheme. My advice is stick with the first one for a bit, then when you wanna switch it up, do so.

FLOW

Don’t need to be a genius to flow ya shit, just keep it short and sweet if you can. If you wanna go for long bars, add long multies because they help ya flow. If you wanna guarantee a good flow just write to a beat. Some people doubleup their lines which stetches the hell out of the bars. Try and keep ya shit readable, imagine its a track if you must. Obviously it doesn’t have to flow like a track on text, but it does make a better read if ya flows good.

PERSONALS

Personals in battles deliver STING. You got shit on ya opponent and you can kill him, its ya weapon. Diss your opponent, its the main focus of the battle, diss his looks, his email, his name, his job, anything for a stinging punchline.


**** Ya’ll Wack sons, seen tougher blood lines on the stains on a tampon
Punch all three of ya chins ‘live, lookin’ like Eric Cartman with shades and a rag on

A punch at Alive, I had a picture. Diss his face. Raw, but its a battle.


PUNCHLINES:

To me, THE MOST IMPORTANT aspect of a battle, you can come weak with multies and flow, but if the punch hits me, then you’ve won me over.
Punchlines no doubttt require a high level of creativity. Everything these days is played, examples of played shit is:

I’M ILL LIKE CANSER
I’m dope like coke
You couldn’t de-feat me if you chopped my leg off,
You like 7 days, you two weak.
Couldnt come before me if you pre-jacked.
punches miss like armless boxers..

Shit like that, obvious shit is alllllll wack and won’t get you votes.

To make a punchline, think of a concept, and work with it. For example, I wanna say a guys flow is wack as hell. Try think of something relating to flow..like..catching a beat? flow/catching a beat...catching involves throwing... so you could make:

"Flows weak, couldn't catch a beat if I through it at ya"

Simple and effective. Try thinking ya own concepts, think of something, make it relate to the opponent..lyrically/personally, and play around with words/phrases!

Heres an example of my OWN and OTHER battler punches off the Illest punch thread:

Kryptic Vs. ...

These two only made the finals through DQ's and no shows, I'm 'sick-of-you-light-dudes-in-text'.
I'm 'depicting-how-dyke-noobs-progress' cause we all *saw their "L" from the beginning* like 'predicting-a-knights-move-in-chess'!

Dope Antelope Punch Against Philly Bone

You lost from the get go, belts? You were lucky to get those
ya 'partner held you up before you entered', like 'carrying a bride into the threshold

Dope Antelope's vs Dice..haha sorry I gave up searching other verses..

I impair dudes, proves that this phony clowns a flop
Cuz playing Monopoly’s the only time you see Dice rolling down the block

A few of more of my own:

And yo, P.I wouldn’t be “fly on the beat” if a “wasp landed on his drumkits
**** lick, couldn’t win a tourney at an auction for lawyers, dumb shit

Your bars stretch like Elastic Penetentiarys, but all mine are ruthless
Ya wack shit aint testin me... people laugh when you spit like PornStar Bloopers


ORIGINALITY.
Easy and simple subject, just don’t use played shit. Think, if its likely to be used it has been. Think outside the box, come original.

The Commandments:

Thou Shall Not BITE. Don’t steal other peoples shit, most likely you’ll get caught
Thou Shall Not Recycle. Don’t use ya shit again, people are smarter than that.
Thou Shall Not lie in battles, don’t use fake personals. It just makes you look stupid.
Thou shall Not bitch in the thread about votes, we all do it at the beginning, but learn to overcome it. If you got a serious issue, PM a Mod.
Thou shall not speak with wack grammar, make it easy for the reader to understand, **** the broke’n’english shit yo.

Thou Shall Make ya shit readable, don’t over do it with quotations/punctuation/stupid colors
Thou Shall Use as many personals at disposal, don’t hold back in battles, make up afterwards,
Thou Shall try and use Punchlines in every bar, or most. They win battles.
Thou Shall Diss the **** out of the opponent

---

And now, we have the voting rules. It takes 3 votes for a K.O., If its 2-1 for example, or there is a vote for the opposite side at any time before the K.O, you go onto the first for five. I'm not sure whether or not to incorporate technical knockout, but I cant be ****ed. Only people battling can vote, so I dont want no faggy pivot noob ****ing up my thread. Those posts will be removed.

Voting rules, also ripped from JeeJuh -

Text Battles:

Okay, I'm sick of the kids on this site who can't or don't know how to vote or the rules of battling! So I'm putting together this thread consisting of House Rules and Voting Rules that any battle on the JeeJuh must abide by.

Breaking most of these rules will result in an automatic DQ. The rules found in this thread apply to our battle forum and override conflicting rules found on a different site.


General Battle & House Rules:
1. Respect your opponent: Even though you might not like the guy, always respect the battle rules and settle any conflict you have in a battle! Do not bitch about it if you loose.
2. No Biting: Biting is stealing lines from other people, this includes both signed and un-signed artists. This is plagiarism!
3. No Recycling: Recycling is just how it sounds, be original. Don't use bars you have used in other battles.
4. No Flipping: Flipping lines is boring, don't make comments about your opponents verse. You're not being creative.
5. No Free Posting: All battlers must "Check in" before they post and no one can post until both battlers have checked in. However, If you check in and the other person doesn't check in within 1 hour you win by default.
6. Time Limit: The time limit can vary, but it only starts when both artist have checked in. (1 hour is a nice time limit).
7. No Upping Before Verses: This means each battler in each thread can only post twice (which will be his "check in" and his bars). Anything more before both battlers have written their bars is a DQ. After both verses have been dropped, you can up and much as you want. This just keeps things tidy.
8. No Call-Outs During Battles: Don't ask someone to battle in a battle thread. Save it for the Call-Out section: Please restrict posts on each battle to only votes.
9. No Dick Riding: Dick riding is where your friends vote for you just because they like you and not because you deserve it. Do not do this! Your vote won't count if you do and the person you voted for will loose a vote. Don't make your friend hate you for trying to help them!
10. Number Of Bars: The battlers can decide what number of bars they want to use (remember a bar is two lines). But you can not battle with any less than four bars. It's just a waste of a battle when it's too short.
11. Do not do anything that would provide you with an unfair advantage or that would discourage anyone from voting fairly or participating in battles on JeeJuh.com. Remember rule number 1? RESPECT YOUR OPPONENT, not to mention all the other community members. Don't do anything stupid like voting on battles which aren't completed or already have a winner.
12. If both battlers don't check in within 24 hours, the thread is closed and the battlers can't participate in another battle for another 48 hours. This is to stop the clutter of useless threads and people wasting their time.
ANYONE WHO BREAKS THESE RULES WILL BE DISQUALIFIED!

Scoring Rules: (How to win).
1. First to 5 votes is a win. This keeps a solid scoring system and allows more votes to take place and be voted a winner quickly and efficiently.
2. 3-0 is a KO. If someone gets 3 votes in a row and the other person gets none, they win by KO.
3. 4-1 is a TKO. Technical Knock Out, and can write this as a KO win in there signature. But 5-2 is not a TKO. TKO's are only where the voting goes 2 for XXX-1 for YYY -2 for XXX.

Voting Related Rules: (HOW TO VOTE!)
1. ALL VOTES MUST BE EXPLAINED! This is probably the most important rule of them all. Explain your votes! This will make sure you're not dick riding and legitimizes your vote.
Example:
1. Punches: Mr. X
2. Flow: Mr. Y
3. Multi's: Mr. X
4: Wordplay: Mr. X
5. Nameplay: Mr. Y
6. Personals: Mr. Y
7. Metaphors & Similes: Mr. X
8. Humour & Enjoyment: Mr. X
9. Structure & Delivery: Mr. Y
10. Originality: Mr. X

I found that Mr. Y was more personal, but he didn't have as many good punches as Mr. X did. Mr. X was more consistent and didn't have any lines used primarily ad a filler. Mr. Y had a few lines which weren't interesting because they had weak punches, even though his multi's were a lot better. So I'd have to say Mr. X won this battle because he was more creative, had better punches and he had some insane flow.
(The explanation legitimizes your vote).

Vote: Mr. X"
DO NOT JUST SAY "VOTE: Mr. X", YOUR VOTE WILL NOT COUNT! Add an explanation and the categories.

2. After you have cast your vote, do not post on the thread again! Of corse, you can go check to see how the person you picked is doing. But leave the posting for Voters Only. Remember rule 11? Posting something about the battle other than a vote may persuade someone to vote in a certain way.
3. Do not quote someone else's explanation and vote for the same person! That's not explaining your vote!

Voting goes like this.

1. Punches:
2. Flow:
3. Multi's:
4: Wordplay:
5. Nameplay:
6. Personals:
7. Metaphors & Similes:
8. Humour & Enjoyment:
9. Structure & Delivery:
10. Originality:

Copy and paste this when casting your vote!

This is the only way you will be allowed to vote. And remember, Always, always explain your votes. OR they just won't count.

Rhyming -

Okay, so you guys all know what rhyming is.

Its like rhyming cat, with fat. But you need some better rhymes then that. And they need to actually ****ing be a punch. We're NOT RELEASING SONGS HERE PEOPLE, WE'RE DOING BARS. AND WE'RE NOT STRETCHING THEM TO HELL AND BACK.

A bar is:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I dont want to see no stretched shit like :

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Okay? That has NO flow. That's like two bars, thats a BIG no-no.

Let me show you an example of a battle verse :

Matt Lienart:

I've REVIEWED HIS PAST, DUDE IS GASSED but if you think this BIRD A GRAZE THE NINA
yeah that SOUNDS GOOD but if its beef I DROWN HOOD .... HURRICANE KATRINA
he could try but his WRITTENS TOO SOFT, I let the SMITHEN SHOOT OFF
so SWING YA FIST imma EAT THE HIT then SEE THE CLIK FINISH YOU OFF
imma make it clear simply you AINT ME wanna bet I put up 8 G'S
that I give you two O's like ya name then you'll see the loss coming clearly in HD
(HD <<< two O's look at his name)
see I already tried Hood he hesitated to SPRAY AK's ya'll really believe this LAME AINT GAY?
and his VERSE IS GOOD? nigga I make you think im an arson for kkk the way i'm BURNING HOOD's

This was against a man called Hood. You see the way the bars are structured? Good, you may have noticed the section in brackets. That's called an expo. You can drop those after a bar if you think they need explaining, such as:

BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH
BLAHBLKAIWRHJIFSDHJIOHDJFJSDIOJGFSIODFJIOSEJFDDFDF
(Expo: BLAKJOFHOSIJFDSJIFDJIOS)

This helps with things people dont know. Dont make personals up like - HEY I TOTALLY HAD SEX WITH HIS MUTHAR HURPADERP. No, **** you.


Say you're up against somebody like Zed, and you want to make fun of his pivot thread, and people dont know much about his pivot thread, you could maybe hyperlink it within the expo. Or you could post something explaining the punch. You get the idea.

And dont drop anything anybody has used before, that's called biting. It's not good, its like going

BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHABLAHABLAH AND HERES ANOTHER
BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH BECAUSE YO' MAMA

Or some shit. That's weak as ****. Thats used, that's shit. That wont get you any points. We're not primitive people here, we have some really intelligent people on this forum. This helps stimulate your brain and you constantly think of things you can use for battles. Text battles are brilliant, honestly.

Now, I dont wanna see no dick-riding. That means no voting for your friends, or somebody you dont like. You can have beef, but I dont want no beef on my battles. You can state in your battles you dont want somebody to vote on them, but thats on your conscience not mine.


Alright, when we have the crews set up, they will all be seperately named by the leader. And then you can all request battles with different people and if you like, iniate some crew wars. Dont take this outside this thread, I dont want people hating each other because of this.

Lets go. Sign up, guys.

make this more complicated

I'm making this proper, because last time I was in the battle thread I was up against Jutsu and he dropped a ****ing SONG. Thats NOT what you do. I'm explaining everything here. Go read it, you'll understand.

And I guess I'll sign myself up. If just to be a standbyer.

I'll be surprised if you get 32 people together.

Still reading. Will edit with sign-up if I feel like it.

Edit: Alright, but I want time to take all my old stuff out of my pivot thread, or maybe just delete and resurrect it later.

Wow what the hell, the rules look like one of Jutsu's "raps" :v

Zeds in. .

I wanna be leader of team 2. Our kr3w name will be "John Bolton"

D is. in

29 spots available. C'mon!

Oh my, how is it the thread you where bagging on seems to have had a lot more people joining? I'll tell you ****ing why, you say you're making it proper but really you're just taking the fun out of all of it. You insult me but realistically I am just a Caucasian poet, shit maybe you have o-grilla and gavel who are skilled lyricists on this site join, but that's about all you'll get, the rest you can hope for is more people like me, having 29 more people join is completely ridiculous. But seriously you come here with all this slang and shit, when you could just call it something that normal people (Not fake rappers on the internet) will know what it means right?

You're not going to get enough people to fill this thread, you know why? Because although the other thread in you opinion was "Shit" It was a lot more fun and a lot less demanding, your not fun you're just making this a moronic cock measuring festival hardly worthy of the title. The magic of the other thread was that you didn't have to be good you could simply post whatever you want. Then when I posted something that was longer than than you "Liked" You flipped a bitch and start spewing some more of the nonsensical terms around that obviously no one is going to know, what you think I'm a real rapper? Really?

And the thread didn't die, you didn't know this because you where to retarded to realize that it had a set date and on that date the one with the most points was going to win, and yes I one. Not because I'm good, but because I took the time to comment in full and reply to my opponent not, tell them how much better then them I am, or how gey they iz!, or I ****ed their mom. This is just a dick waving competition not really who's a better rapper, hip hop lyrics don't have to be offensive or aggressive.

Furthermore I must state that you're multi accounting again and I'm going to report you (And hopefully get you banned again) because your just an asshole and don't really make any contributions to the site, not even when not saying how fantastic of a troll you are. As far as I'm concerned your making an effort to contribute here, but the concept is so demanding that who all can join? I can't say I can, the only skill I have is that I am a lot more long winded than other people, and this pretty much throws that out the window because everyone decides on a length and that's what you're stuck with. It's completely absurd to expect that many people capable of dropping real rhymes to join, shit I'm not even confident you yourself are any good " Though you sure as hell talk like it."

Lastly, whats the point? Why are you doing this? It's not very fun looking, it wont get filled, and you're so awesome that you'll annihilate everyone. I can't see why you made this thread, just to make it? Are you trying to improve everyones "rap skillz" Tell me, you tell me why this is made because I can't seem to understand it at all, I am baffled, bamboozled, and overall completely flabbergasted. Face it dude, we don't rap well, and most certainly not on something this strict. Shit the words "Proper" and "Rap" don't even belong in the same sentence, let alone saying "proper rap".

No, this isn't a dick waving competition. You're just upset because you can't write songs anymore.

This is Textcee stuff. There are tens of websites devoted to Textcees. Jee Juh, LyricalThreatz, Rapbattle ... etc. Over a million people combined. I'm doing this the way the rest of the internet are doing this. Hip Hop is not for poets, that would be a song competition. You want to make songs, make a song competition. Dont come on here saying all of this is dick waving because I insulted your poems by saying that thats not exactly what a real textcee would do. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings but grow up a little bit and elevate.

Yeah, but this isn't "the rest of duh internetz" This is stickpage, no one's joining this because they're not interested in this "proper" stuff, so what if a million people together do it this way. Just because a million people wank it to the left doesn't mean I can't do it to the right, right? I'm not insulted, all you said was the truth, but it's the same as what I'm saying here, which is it's "Boring" you're a "Multi-accounting peice of shit" and "**** off and die because you where already banned again and don't contribute to the ****ing website' I'm not saying I am not any of these things, but I would gladly take the punishment instead of just making another account just to act like a dick once more.
