So watching a battle like B Magic vs Chilla is real work for white people. Either you're going to just miss a LOT of what makes those bars clever, or you're going to have to work hard to catch what's going on. And either way, you'll be less entertained.
You have to work at it as a white dude. My experience has been that multiple viewings are necessary and worth it to get the most out of URL battles. That's actually what makes backpacker claims about "dumb gun bars" laughable. Most white battlers that are popular aren't nearly as lyrical - just easier for white people to follow.
This is the same reason that minorities historically faired worse on "standardized tests." The tests traded in cultural experience that minorities didn't have.
TLDR - URL, like standardized testing trades in cultural currency.
I don't even know why I initially got worked up for a Ill/Con release anyway but midweek I knew it want coming
Even the breh writin the article says he didnt see the battle, but from what he was told about Surf/Con 
) and this nikka Conceited really finished a verse with "Now that Im done with T(tea), where are my crumpets"
. Conceited used to be one of my fave battlers too but rewatching his old shyt and dude was mad corny. I rememebr when he said to Goodz "You better make like a banana and..." *slides hands together*..."Split"...
