I would rather watch BDK battle then any of the cornballs in battle rap currently.

BDK's got it all - punchlines, flow, charisma. And he can make classic songs.

He has more to say about life too - what the fukk does a 20-year-old have to say about life?

Lot of people acting like idiots in this thread.

Do a big battle rap event with the gods headlining and the spoken word can't make a good song cornballs on the undercard. Everybody wins.

Very ironic statement considering that between the ages of 20 and 25 is when MOST artists are at their best...

There are exceptions...But look through hip hop history...The classics were made by a bunch of 20 year olds...Not 50 year olds...:mjlol:

hey y'all ain't gotta disrespect the GODS :whoa:

yes we know they are up thier in age

but they made great contributions to hip hop and did it in a dignified manner

and that means a lot to me not only as a hip hop fan but as a Blackman

unlike today contemporary loons

but yeah I don't wanna see them battle as of now

20 yrs ago yeah....but I felt they missed a golden opportunity

it's like having Pernell Whitaker vs Sugar Ray Leonard in 2014 smh

This is true. But for a different reason. It's also counterintuitive that a person would have nothing to rap about after 25.

Subject matter is negligible in music...
Jay Z been rapping about nothing for years, and yet he still one of the most successful in the game...Big Daddy Kane is in Jay Z's age bracket...

That "hunger" in a rapper's voice is hard to create...Especially after they have had some success...

By listening to BDK in that interview, I can already tell that he doesn't have it...That "hunger"...He is talking like an old dude reminiscing about the good ole days...

If BDK wants to battle, he could battle...Older rappers limit themselves, and then they blame the fans...

Chief Keef recorded in his grandma's living room, and blew up on youtube...BDK is supposedly a hip hop legend, you telling me couldn't eat if he recorded decent music and show cased it to the public...

These old dudes is flabby-n-sick...They can't blame the game for their irrelevancy...They be on some lazy "back in the day" shyt...
