Reminds Me Why I Love Hip Hop. Amazing Battle!!! UK Stand Up

Good post. Too bad mugs over here in the states are all about that dollar and are no longer keeping hip hop grounded as an artistic & expressive culture the way they do overseas. I miss the rap battle days where dudes would give each other respect & acknowledge if the other person's rap skills were better.

Sign of the times. Smart and secure dudes would see someone besting them in a rap battle as a reason to stay motivated and keep their rhyme skills sharp rather than letting their egos get bruised. There will always be someone better than the next man, so the goal is always try to be that better man and not that next man IMO.

I thought the first kid had better comical punch lines "I ain't saying yous a bitch but you're a female... dawg"

I get tired of the dudes talking about how much they're gonna shoot people up.
Eddie Griffin said it best real gangsta keep their damn mouths shut.
