Ebro and Buckshot debating about Battle Rap

[D.C Young]

they were debating about many other things but the battle rap discussion starts around 13:00 mark...

Ebro is saying that he doesn't understand why they battle rap now a days without a beat...

he's very fixated on that for some reason...I dont see what the big deal is

I do agree with him that the gun metaphors are overly done

Buckshot, of Black Moon, the legend. I remember a while back he did a track or 2 with my boy Warbux, a Rapmusic.com audio battle rapper that's been around since atleast '99. Warbux should have made a splash in this live battle rap shyt, he screwed up a little while back in his debut on KOTD though, against Kaliente. Coming unprepared, he messed up, he'd be a damn threat if he put the work in. Ness Lee battled him on one of the GRBs at Rapmusic.com years ago, and it was a classic audio battle. I still have Ness's verse saved as a matter of fact. Buckshot definitely supports the battle rap world though.

So...to break down something to its rawest form...straight vocal assaults... is a bad thing?

Battling & cyphers over a beat are great.

But shakespearan potential of battling acapella...where you can control the flow & delivery instead of having to be constrained by riding a beat can be

You can stop and allow the crowd to absorb the last few bars and visibly see how long it takes for it to explode in their head like

Processing Bars... Kinda getting it... Wait.. he meant..... But it also means oh shyt!

Why try to downplay another form of sparring?
