You never heard of Royce before Slaughterhouse?
Rex just went ham on him outta nowhere, that was crazy.
Rex set himself up for Brizz & Ave match-ups. Brizz already had unresolved feelings before all this, and if Ave didn't care before..
Rex needs to get back down to that Battle America weight though if he is serious about battling

I didn't.
I wasn't really listening to em like that outside of a few songs. Def didn't know all the nobodies behind him like d12 royce obie etc. I didn't know any of these dudes until i started posting online.

Yea the average rap fan who isnt in the east coast had no undeniable reason to know about big L before he died. I only heard random features from dude and that was me looking up old freestyles

I grew up in a small country town in the South.. But I loved Hip Hop so much,.. I listened to Everybody..
I was especially in tune with NY Artist because that's where the Shyt started...
That's why I rarely argue HipHop with people who dont know the Culture... Because it pisses me off..
I remember one time i could've had a song on the Radio in NC.... I was talking Hip Hop with the Dude... and he was like... " Who is this Skillz guy that keep making these recaps" He must be New..
I never talked to dude again... Dumb I know but I used to feel like Everybody cared about The Culture as much as me..
Not a diss to anyone but if I was hearing Big L Freestyles in the Country.. I would think Everybody knew about him...

Unpopular Opinions About Battle Rap
Thats what I'm thinking. Even though I didn't get the freestyles where I was at on the radio, we definitely saw the videos where I was at.
I can't say that live on radio I heard them but I can say dub tapes of shyt like that got passed around. I didn't get a dub tape of a those Big L freestyles but I wouldn't doubt it if those tapes made it down that way in NC. Friends of mine would have dubs of shyt like the Hiero/Hobo battle or some Bad Boy mixtape promos.
