What year?

I was going to be a smartass and reply with some Shakespearian poetry duel as the first text battles... but the moment passed.

Maybe on a server I never knew about, on a chat I never knew about. But that shit couldnt have had more than like 20 active niggas

I'd like to know which IRC server you was on because Dalnet and Effnet had thousands of users on at any given time.

Unless you was talking about the channel you went in.

I wasn't into rap battles back then so I didn't pay much attention. I know my scriptz and warez channels I opped had a couple hundred or so.

I was just assuming chat rap battles were around in early IRC days before AOL, because that and BBS's were what people had to communicate.

I didn't want to put up the URL in here because it's my homesite and I know some admins are funny about outside linking because of spam.

If an administrator or moderator could confirm I'm okay to post it, I will do.

NYVillain is long retired, gone along with the boards of the past, similarly with Gods Gift (unless he’s operating under a new name).

I’ve been around far too long, I think I’ve an account from 1999 at RM, you wouldn’t believe the amount of Lyrical Somethings I’ve encountered in my time here haha!
