If you would of asked me where would the battle culture be during the late 90s-early 2000s...
I honestly feel with every future event, they need to do "debriefs" and "huddles" with all parties involved just to check the temperature of everything
The tone Debo is talking in really seems broken and in awe and/or baffled at all this shyt..
Treat the shyt like boxing and have some type of press conference...invite all parties just to again check the temperature..shyt like this shouldn't be happening when it really matters
you cant stop the inevitable but it seems like the parties that got into already felt some type of way..goin in
i dunno
edit: also people just need to have a better communication across the board...the artist (battle rappers/interviewers etc) AND the/their goons need to know money overrides all the fukkery
you can't call this shyt a community and/or culture if we aren't on the same page ..at all
nikkas wanna go in then wait 2-3 weeks and finally feel like "damn son my bad we fuked up"
AND most of these battles are just fukin dry ..and it seems when that actual shyt that matters (battling) goes dry..its back to the same ol controversy negative shyt
