Its been a long time, I shouldnt have left you...

You like my Rakim reference in the title or you dont know who that is? Probably the latter.

Anywhooooo

It has been well over a month, almost 2, since I have last posted. I feel bad about that so I gotta let you guys know what type of time Ive been on since I was away.

BATTLE RAP

Thats right. Local battle rap. I have discovered that there are leagues set up and these guys go at it. Its Acapella (no beat), which I would rather them have to try to flow and keep to a beat because that shows a whole other level of skill, but it is what it is. I will be interviewing one or more of these guys that go at it. They meet up at a local venue. Its not in the streets, its as if they are bringing the street corner to a venue. The KBL (Krush Battle League) is taking bars off the block and putting them into bars and local hot spots. This is good on different levels because its keeping some of these guys out of the streets because they are home practicing and then performing in a place where they know they have to conduct themselves decently.

Hey Who knows...maybe this battle league will lower the crime rate???

Below is a link to watch one of the battles. Please comment and let me know what you think.


Young G vs Bliss Creed


toodles.... Fyi my opinion is that Bliss Creed edges Young G out. However, if there had been another round I think there is a good chance it could have gone the other way. There was only one round because they only had a week to prepare.
