@Wrick-It-Ralph

Cool

-->
@Speedrace

I like the idea of referencing earlier battles.

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

Lol yeah

I was thinking that we should do a nostalgia rap battle where we copy and paste individual lines and/or stanzas from previous battles and cite where they came from

-->
@Speedrace

reading this battle in hindsight was fun.

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

Lol yeah

-->
@Speedrace

Nice rap 6

-->
@Speedrace

Holy crap there were still rounds left for this, lol.

-->
@Speedrace

Muchas Gracias

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

You brought the HEAT wow lol

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

It's cool lol, you've got no obligation to finish immediately so take your time if needed

-->
@Speedrace

sorry. i'm wiped today, I promise it will be done before I go to sleep, lol

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

Are you ever gonna respond to either of our debates? lol

-->
@Speedrace

felt. That's all I can say there.

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

The funny thing is that (for the most part) I am hyper sensitive, I'm extremely quiet in real life because I'm always afraid of hurting someone's feelings, but when I get to know someone really well or get comfortable around them then I tend to brag, and online I brag way too much >.<

-->
@Speedrace

In general, people are in too much of a hurry.

-->
@Speedrace

I've been there. I suggest hyper sensitive empathy in all situations. I only step up my intensity on a quip pro quo basis as to categorically test the meddle of my would be competitor. One is rarely in a rush to have to reveal themselves too quickly without observation first and if that is not the case then a fist fight is likely to follow, because you're probably being attacked, lol.

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

I could never hate school lol, academics is the only thing I'm good at, the only problem is that I have middle child syndrome and that makes me SUPER competitive, which destroys all of my relationships, something I'm trying to work on

-->
@Speedrace

Ironically, it's when you turn your brain off that music gets easy. It's all muscle memory. You play enough patterns and suddenly you can play every song that has those patterns without thinking all. You just know that said part "feels" like this when you play it. The hardest music to play is the slow music.

Anyone can shred machine gun riffs with those satisfying 32nd notes to keep you on beat. Holding out long and syncopated notes while throwing in well times micro shreds while using dynamics and feeling bends to make those holds sound good is the truly talented application of music. I drifted off into guitar speak for a second, lol. That was my first major instrument.

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

Good for you, I could never rap my head around playing music (pun intended)

I could play piano a little bit if I hardcore remembered every key, but I can't play by ear or read music

-->
@Speedrace

I didn't fail because of skill, but rather my lack of seriousness for getting a degree. While I love education, I detest school. The irony right?

-->
@Speedrace

I unsuccessfully attended college for music education. I play a few instruments.

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

Welp, my as long as I know the vocabulary then my reading is very good, my speaking is not that good, and my hearing is horrible

Also, you can play the piano? O_O

-->
@Speedrace

Don't count out google translate. That's what helped me check myself this far. But as I go on, I have to use it less and less. I never need it for grammar anymore (it's not great for grammar anyway because you have to enter the phrase in English with Spanish grammar for it to work right half the time.) but I do use it to look up niche words that I hardly use.

Unfortunately, I'm not as strong in spoken Spanish because there's not a lot of Spanish speakers in my area that like atheists, lol.

I tried playing piano as a side gig for this predominantly latino/a church and it just didn't sit well with me because the pastor assumed that I was Christian and I didn't want to tell the guy because I also worked with him and things were delicate, lol.

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

Alrighty, thanks a ton!

Also I had to use google translate for like half of that translation lol

-->
@Speedrace

great translation!!

there's multiple words for "from" I'm 80% sure I used the right one.

spanishaddict has really good conjugation tables and THE BEST forums. Look out for this poster named Lazarus. He's very traditional, so take him with a grain of salt, but the posts on there are well moderated. I'll give you a little trick. Do a "this vs this" look up on words that are similar in google and you'll get good answers.

For example. "saber vs conocer" or "para vs por" Stuff like that will yield you amazing searches. and master the word "que" and all it's subsets to a T if you want good Spanish "lo que, para que, la que, el que, por que, etc. "

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

Pleasure and if you want to practice it, call me from here

I had to look up desde :/ but otherwise I pretty much got it myself haha

Do you know a good place that has like a list of Spanish vocabulary words?

Also, ok lol, take your time, I know you'll come back at full force

-->
@Speedrace

I used it all up going holiday ham on RM.

-->
@Speedrace

I'm out of rap juice at the moment so i'll do this in a bit. I want to make sure I go super ham to do your R2 justice

-->
@Speedrace

mucho gusto y si quieres practicarlo, el espanol. llamame desde aqui

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

My last class today was Spanish so thanks for the quick lesson lol

Don't get me wrong, I think you're both very skilled.

lol

-->
@Speedrace

lol, I was showing off my skills :)

Se deberia aprender (One should learn )

Se deberia is an impersonal construct. It means One "does this" you always use the third person conjugation.

The subjunctive is something you use in specific situation and the best way to explain it in English is that it adds the word "might" to the conjugation, but there's a more formal way to explain it that would require a monologue by me.

One example would be Quiero que toquemos la musica. Which is (I want us to play the music) but because it's a conjugation verb with a conjugated verb after the "que" clause, you turn tocamos into toquemos. For subjunctive, you always change the e or I into A and A into e using qu to replace C's

What this roughly translates too is (I want that we might play the music) There's no perfect translation here though. It's basically like saying I WANT us to play music, but I don't know if we're going to or not. This is a REALLY basic introduction into subjunctive clause.

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

Something to learn the impersonal constructive and the subjective verbs? I need some work lol

-->
@Speedrace

se deberia aprenderlo el constructive impersonal y el verbos subjunctivos.

Also, check out this sick rap I just dropping on RM

https://www.debateart.com/debates/685

You can vote on it, but if you do, RM is going to accuse you of trolling, lol. I don't like telling people not to vote on things. It seems unamerican.

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

If your rap battles were actually debating anything, rather than just insulting each other, I might agree.

-->
@K_Michael

Then go and make some non-rap battle debates lol

-->
@K_Michael

Let's Call this Ralph's Theory

"All debates are reducible to rap battles without rhymes."

That's my unified theory of wrap.

No less than 40% of the debates on the first page on DebateArt are Rap Battles. What id the point of debate again?

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

Thanks

I’m currently learning Spanish, I’m conversational now but I’m trying to find a way to increase my vocabulary, I’d gladly exchange my grammar for fluency in Spanish lol

-->
@Speedrace

Damn, you really brought it that time.

Fun factoid. My grammar was never that good to begin with, but it got worse when I learned Spanish (because of being a travelling salesman) and now I accidentally say things with Spanish vowels sometimes with my inner dialogue and add lot of mandatory "that' placements that are optional in English. Ergo, Spanish makes one's English sound funny.

-->
@Speedrace

Line 15 was suppose to end with "Boast" Not Roast.

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

Thanks! Yours was pretty great too :D

-->
@Speedrace

Sick rhyme. I like it

-->
@Speedrace

I cuss, when the rap needs it. I'm neutral on cussing but I don't over do it because it makes the rap sound boring

To clarify, I don't mind if you cuss, I'm just saying I don't lol :D

-->
@Wrick-It-Ralph

Lol I won't, I don't cuss though, but otherwise get ready for the fire >:D

-->
@Speedrace

Thanks for accepting.

Don't hold back on the insults.

Why not lol
