Essential The Official Battle Rap Random Thoughts Thread (URL, KOTD, UW etc...)

Theres two ways of getting respect, commanding it, and demanding it. Commanding respect is garnering it through action, leaving it up to people to give it to you on their own terms. Demanding respect is literally forcing people to give to you, people who do this arent respected in the first place.
JC, Danny, JTN, etc command respect, and they can do this because people admire/are inspired by them in the first place. Without admiration its impossible to command respect.
Ave demands it, because he knows he has little to no status in BR. Notice he always has to point how much of a "man" he is? Hes "good" at what he does, but he isnt inspiring. People respect him as a man (which is good), but not his vocation.

to be fair, that team was a goofy ass teamHow the fukk she managed to slide Ave's name in there
"Ain't respected like Ave"didn't his own team completely ignore him while he was in the hospital?
But it's TODD slander so I'll allow it
only person i remember checking on him was DNA

They like what that mean
Not a popular opinion but he’s developed into a great performer as well. He overwhelms these battlers in small rooms with that.People acting like Rum Nitty just punches is like saying Steph just shoots 3’s. I mean you can say that (it’s incorrect but I get it)…but no one does it like them…they’re the greatest at it by far. And not for nothing, but Nitty would be an insane battle rapper without all the punches, imo
His vocal projection is insane, he sounds like a monster up there. His setups are excellent…he doesn’t just throw some random bullshyt words together to setup the next bar he wants to rhyme it with on some Ave, Ill Will, basically everybody else, “So don’t try to act like you flare toolies, brethren…” shyt.
The way he bends words and makes shyt that maybe shouldn’t rhyme rhyme perfectly without forcing it. The multis and all that rudimentary shyt, delivery, etc… He is everything that Twork has the potential to be,. Twork’s ceiling is even higher but that’s a whole other discussion. Rum deserves all the reverence he gets from fans and his peers.

Nitty is a good performer, his battle vs Iron is a good example.
But what’s interesting to me is that there’s this wrong notion in Battlerap that good performance means big movement / body language / expressions, when that’s not true at all.
Mastery of subtle movement / body language / expression is actually more for the advanced performer.
Any trained actor / performer / teacher knows this.
