The "personal" angle that I love taking is the swift but impactful breakdown of the entire way that your opponent approaches rap. Me & rant did this to each other in our GC battle, and I think that was a perfect example of how online personals should go. Me & rant know shit about each other im sure we wouldnt want the other writing about, and we just didn't. Nothing was spoken, we just know not to be fucking faggots.

This leads me to the fine line with online personals, because I'll also think differently about the line itself if I know that you went through some shady shit to retrieve the personal at hand. Like, im not going to cheer you on for facebook stalking a strangers family for days to try & find an angle to use against him in an online rap battle.
