Official Battle Rap Thread 2K14: FOF!

[za'kiss]

^^ Not when battle rap culture transcends its humble beginnings and becomes arguably one of the only remaining credible spheres for real hip-hop. It can be a cleansing process if an MC knows how to dip in and survive.

Man Arsonal snapped on that track. Ars and Lux are like the only two battle rappers I can think of that actually sound good on wax.

You gotta listen to Tsu Surfs shit. His music is the best imo if all the battlers. Ness Lee and Shotgun Suges shit are good too.

I'll check em out.

Aye verb and goodz both have decent music

Lol @ the whole point of battling is to get a record deal. Theres alot of niggas who do it for the art and love of the sport.

Battle Rap culture is internet popular still trying to make that leap to some type of mainstream success . On my father's grave Arsonal and Shotgun Suge got little to no response at the Newark Hip Hop Festival in Lincoln Park Last Summer, hardly anyone knew who they were and Suge perform some wack as shit "So Addicted" .

In that 3 way battle; Lotta Zay got the flow, Excel was the dopest, but 100 bullets won.

lol @ you thinking battle rappers are doing this shit for free and "love" for the sport/art. Cassidy, Budden and others during battle rap early beginnings only 1 person got paid and that was said winner of the Competition/tournament them niggas did for the art of Mcing, niggas do it now for the check and youtube views. The Whole card gets paid now.

Lol @ you thinking these niggas wanted and aspired to be battle rappers when they first grabbed the pen and picked up the mic and not a Jay-z, Nas, Jada or Em.

Lol @ you thinking they want to stay as battle rappers they whole rapping career and not drop any albums or Mixtapes.

Im not saying they dont also want to be artist in the industry. Im saying they dont ONLY do it to get a deal Thats why youll see DMX and Jayz battlin well after they made it , and Busta rhymes battlin niggas well after he made it. SOME niggas do it for the love of the sport.

 

[awwwwwwwwwww]

battle rap and studio rap arent the same thing

 

[_Goldie_]

The Chilla vs Real Deal battle is tough to call, I might give the last 2 rounds to Real Deal tho. Dope battle none the less.

They do it for the money too. That do it for the art shit is a copout for these niggaz who are forever stuck in battle rap purgatory.

As I stated I can pretty much say 99.9% of battle rappers do it too 1.Build a Buzz/Rep 2. Win some $ 3. Hope someone takes notice give them a shot at music. 4. If no one does give them a deal if they done well in Battle Rap to where they established a fan base and won/gotten money to help there recording career can drop an album or mixtape. They want to reach the level Cassidy and Budden attained.

Dmx got his deal battling niggas with broken jaw in front of Lyor. Em whole purpose of doing rap battles aside from

props and money was to get a deal off it.

It different now cause money is involved it wasn't then these niggas chances off making money off music is slim, not guarenteed and harder to do.. as opposed to get thousands of dollars every time they battle win/lose/wack or dope.

Bruh, thats like saying the only reason -insert any rapper- raps is to make money. Ofc a nigga wants to get paid for his work and talent, they'll be stupid not to.

 

[nujerz84]

so stop with the "do it only for the love of the art" bs.

 

[awwwwwwwwwww]

yo i dont even know what to say...

I got a green ranger and ninja costume. This is tame.

 

[Trillaaaaaa]

I swear to god if u watch any interview from any battler, they will plug their mixtape and they always say the same thing "music is my passion first before this battle shit, I do this mostly to get my name out there"

I would consider somebody a certified fuck nigga if they only aspiration as an emcee was to be a battle rapper

There are a lot of battle rappers who don't make music at all

I mean battling can pay you if you make a name and work hard

One reason why I don't enter battling is ppl only want to see you battle after that

I would rather be known for music,but they're no different than any working indie

They do make money off their raps and talent
