Bro freestyle battles took a Turn for the worst. The new battles bring out the most demonic lyrics about how you gonna shoot another black man and kidnap his family and smash his lady.

Most of them don't even rap over beats and that made it fun back in the day. Seeing which mc could rock the crowd better and make everybody have fun

These new battles are the OPPOSITE of hiphop. Just a hate fest.

I was a big fan of the old style battles. Used to hit them up all the time. The switch was slow but I hate that it happened as well. It’s not even the content for me but it was the uniqueness. Everyone used to have their own style and brought different things to battle. Now basically everyone has the same style and bars.

I think it occurred overtime naturally with rappers trying to generate more shockvalue into their rhymes.

Also a lot of cats persona is based on being hard and tough so you gotta say foul shyt to match your rap image.

Battle rap has evolved

URL made battle rap into a Shakespearean outlet for street violence.
:ohlawd:

These Modern battlers are a mix of real nerds and fake gangsters performing verbal WWE.

They are also 100 times wittier and clever than they get credit for.

Old school battlers would get smoked just off the performance gaps alone.

Those accapella written battles are not emcee'n.
Plus it is made by eminem.
As eminem has issues pocketing flows on beat off the head. Sohh to eliminate those issues or flaws.

Eminem pr'd and supported this type of bullshyt.


Thay shyt not battling.

If it ain't off the head.

With no pre-writtens

Plus real talk. These dudes not really no emcees like that culturally.

Sohh at least they get paid allegedly.


to prepare writtens to battle.

When both guys have a flawed cultural back ground.

sohh what is there to gain.

there is not real put for fame reward culturally if you beat an opp.




It is fake battling.

If it ain't off tha head.
Right there on the break.

It ain't real.
