nuclear war in my bag
Battle rap forever being on the canceled bubble is probably a good thingI agree. However, once it started to go viral I started seeing a bunch of people on twitter trying to "cancel" battle rap and shytting on fans of the culture. People who mentioned that anything goes in battle rap were greeted with diatribes about how black men are trash and self-hating.
Even discussing this with my real life friends was exhausting.
Not only that, battle rap is self-policing... His next opponent would fry him relentless for being a self-hating, colorist, c00n. He would get 3 rounds of real talk and his opponent would go viral. That's why I didn't see the big deal and these people from outside the culture trying to police it without knowing anything about it was some disingenuous shyt.
In 2020 it needs a balance between profit and obscurity to be anything good
