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

[dutchie]

The homie @Ronnie Lott had a thread on the homepage about battlerap.. asking people why they don't listen. I had to take the dog for a walk after this post.





to Lott for trying... but surely you knew it would turn out this way.

I was about to go in and rep for Battle rap but after reading all the ignorant comments I just sighed, closed the coli and rewatched Nitty vs Ave thinking to myself 'these nikkas dont even know what they losing out on"

106 is what made me love battle rap. Without 106 I would have never bootlegged Smack DVD battles off Bear Share and Ares.

college days

loaded my roommates computer with viruses downloading bear share, convinced him it was worth it for the smack battles

my first con job

There are/were several battle rap leagues that used beats. They weren't being supported enough to consistently throw events. So the "they need to battle over beats" argument is false. It's happened, and people didn't care that much. Same thing with people who think judged battles will save the game. It's already happened, those same people that were complaining weren't talking about the team v team judged battle event at all.

I think the disconnect has more to do with battle rap being it's own thing, as opposed to being a gateway to get a record deal. With acapella battle rap being it's own thing, naturally some rap music fans will find it a little weird.

Ultimately, people will come around to battle rap when they hear a battle rapper spitting the stuff they want to hear. Maybe providing recommendations based off of the rappers they like might help.

There's a large segment of the population who simply just find battle rap corny as shyt. I don't think anything is really going to change their minds on it. More people liking battle rap probably isn't going to help the quality of the sport at all though, so I'm cool with it.

I really hope they can figure out a way to do it outside of NYC. That way Verb can be completely comfortable, and Lux can get his "away" game.
Obviously I'm aware that it's a bit more difficult for Smack to make the numbers work outside of NYC, but I still hold out some hope that it can happen.
