Didn't they have that battle? Who won? Any highlights?
Something to the effect of it ending early, both being weak as shyt and not having a clear winner. The headset and crowd set up took me back to those sunday early morning tv religious broadcasts i'd see after falling alseep with the TV on. I'll give battle rappers credit for preserving that true hip hop spirit. First and foremost everyone is not a great live performer. This is a wakeup call though to Battle rap at the same time letting them know they fall way short of some of our true rap legends as far as being able to entertain large audiences and packed out arenas. You need a stage presence for that which only a small few have. Many of these guys were becoming really arrogant thinking they were on the same level as the real rap legends.Rapping acapella(with no beat) has it's limitations. I always said eliminating music from the equation made it less appealing & entertaining to me since music moves the soul and flow and delivery is what differentiates rappers from each other. Maybe one day, battle rap will use instrumentals like complete lyricists. Then maybe I'll take it more seriously and find it more entertaining. Eliminating the flow and music was always a turn off to me. Battle Rap to me always resembled spoken word on steroids or a more modern version of that Def Jam Poetry show. They need to "bring the beat back" like an old PE interlude once said. I'm all for change but certain rules always apply. Boxing will always have 3 minute rounds, Football Players will alyways be required to wear helmets and Rap should always have music.(lol) As far as Cassidy and Dizaster, I can't defend either of them. Cassidy was just capitalizing off an ambitious promoter with a generous offer. I cant even speak on Diz since I am not a fan in the least of Battle rappers. i already stated why. Having their boys on stage to lean on is also wack.
That was terrible. Why would a company put up $500K to Cassidy for that? How could they possibly get a return on that investment? There was 100 people at that and they streamed it live for free. Either Cassidy was lying about that pay or the investors are idiots.
That sh*t was awful.
Benji i feel u....
But i think not having music brings a different dynamic to it all together...
You have to rely solely on your words to affect the crowd...not the music...
I have to be able to impress you with only my word play and attack on you character...
To make the crowd believe me instead of you...
good lookin for droppin the video....
