Battle That! Battle That! Competition - September 9-12, 2026

What are you talking about? Did you run out of conspiracy theories or something?

I just told Chev not to stress about not sweating out a new beat, as the likeliness is, potentially 3 'go to waste'. Dunno what all this mumbo jumbo you talking about salt and chips and dwindling websites.
So now we progress to gaslighting, ffs.

Where are the clouds when you need them?

I was really considering a post yesterday just begging the members to be more active here, not just battling but posting stuff, having discussions about any old shit, building a fucking team and getting back to helping each other grow.

The last thing I ever want to see is this place to disappear, along with my achievents here. The negativity and sore egos just kill the fucking vibe
I agree. I've seen it all over the place, not just here. I used to check out a forum for forum admins and it started with ways to make your forum grow and be noticed, to "nobody's posting anymore, what am I doing wrong?". It's just people don't care about posting on forums or even social media anymore - unless it's about them.

When I did AOTB I would review beats and hardly ever get a reply when I put the show up. I just thought it was weird that someone would submit their beat asking for feedback, but then not care or follow up. I'm sure some of them never even listened to the show even with their beat in it. So what was the point?

I've been told that FB is dead too. The novelty wore off ages ago and nobody bothers posting unless it's to complain about politics.

As for ILL, I know forum software is old technology, but if someone really wanted to learn and be a part of something, this is it. Discord is not the same, but I do see how people are attracted to it and use it as their community.

It's sad to see that in the Showcase or Beat Fights, there's little feedback there as well. I know not everyone has the time to check out every beat, but once in a while still makes a difference. It's more like people come here like "Yo here's my beat" and just leave, not caring about anything going on. I remember many times people signing up here and their first and only post was "ARE THERE PRIZES?" for the Beat This. They leave and never come back.

This site is 100% free. I don't even have ads on here anymore. I think I took anything related to Google off of here (maybe just a font or whatever) so there's no callback to them.

Maybe I should start an OnlyILL and sell pictures of my old hairy balls.

I remember posting beats on other forums looking for feedback and there never was any, those websites dont exist anymore and Ill does. Communication, teamwork and collaboration, working together has kept this place going for years. I used to make a lot of noise about people posting feedback in the showcase, because of that, but eventually it wore me out.

Sometimes we need cold hard truths to give us a kick up the backside, so we go outside, touch some grass, maybe get a bit of air on our sore vaginas, and grow as an artist and a person, then come back stronger and more motivated.

@Iron Keys C'mon man, you know what he's saying. You're telling someone to not worry about their beat or whatever but for years you're always critical of any battle's outcome, especially your own. And I know you'll disagree with that statement, and that's fine. But this has been going on for years. I remember one time a few of us gave feedback on your West Coast beat and you replied by saying it's not West Coast. Sometimes I wonder if you just like to disagree.

Chev said he should have made a beat especially for it... please refer to my reply I said HE SHOULD

I also said not to sweat it, because it may also go to waste.

That's all there is to it. Making something out of nothing

No beat goes to waste, not a single one, ever.
A beat might not reach a desired audience or live out its full potentential but every beat we make has value in our growth as a beatmaker, all the good ones and all the shit ones.

So, I’m at my mum’s house the other day and she had a pack of Oreos.

I said fuck, let me indulge my inner child. Put some in a bowl and poured a tall glass of milk.

Shit tasted fucking awful! I look at the milk carton…this old geezer is drinking some fuck ass “soy” milk! Who the fuck drinks “soy” milk.

Ended up eating the Oreos plain…imagine, dry ass no milk having ass Oreos. Miserable!

Just read the thread...

Chev said he should made a fresh R2, I agreed and said he shouldn't sweat about it.

No ones arguing, no one's complaining, everyone's getting along. That's ALL that's going on...


Then out of nowhere, as usual, 2Good goes on some massive rant making up a whole bunch of conspiracy and nonsense and arguing.

There was literally no issue, but 2G had to make there be one.

Read it. The proof is all there.

I'm done with this convo, made up out of nowhere to cause problems. That's the actual definition of a troll. Deliberately creating arguments and derailing threads.

So he can carry on all he likes, not feeding this troll anymore.

And Im not interested in hearing about how you are quitting making beats every time you lose a battle. Its not an airport.

So, I'm not interested in hearing about you4 fucking sofas or latest weed induced conspiracy rant. Or whatever. People say things. That's why there's a forum and a chat. If I don't wanna read your shit I won't. V simple.

When I stop posting I get people reaching out asking where am I etc. So just letting peeps know ahead of time. If you don't wanna read my messages use the ignore/block function on here. Pretty simple.

Yeah bro, its a big grand conspiracy. Its not just this convo, you had sand in your vagina yesterday, and now today you are telling @BiggChev that making beats is a waste, wallow in your self pity all you like, I have no intention of stopping you, but don't push that negative bullshit on others.

Would you prefer I said "You okay hun?", "Please don't quit", "We need you man", "Life isn't the same without you"?

I haven't smoked weed in a year and a half, and the world is still run by satanic paedophiles.

You clearly lack reading comprehension skills. Go re-read it 1000 times.

You talk about gaslighting but sit there replying to a message writing essays about something that never happened.
