Nah

I feel you but its fun to compare 2 great rappers and debate who is better tbh

Many rappers believe the skill level required to be a battle rapper is very high and few rappers can do it. I don’t think it’s the peak of rap either but that wasn’t my point.

Yea I know lol I used to think so to, guess I'm just over it now

hard cuz i understand both sides of this

I agree with this but how many producers in 2020 are breaking thru and having lasting careers off beat battles? I honestly believe with the internet causing so much over saturation & every one interested in music downloading FL & chasing placements, the producers who focus more on perfecting their own craft at their own pace are the ones having successful lasting careers in music

No one has provided an explanation for this wild ass statement. Just further proves you guys are d*** riders that are ready to agree with anything that makes you seem cooler

Crine at you circlejerkers taking being competitive literally to support your s***ty narrative

Being competitive is a mindset

Literally nobody disagrees that it's a mindset b

you have got to be kidding me

The Drake Pusha beef made it corny because it became less about the music and more about who could say the most outrageous diss

Nope competition is the American way

Not many tbh, but beat battles are basically artist showcases and an excuse to network and be seen by industry people and even then you can't say they don't focus on their own craft either which is why I mentioned them in the first place. And I don't know, internet money has found great success and they are a bunch of type beat producers. And then you got Charlie Heat who worked with a bunch of local artists in Philly and Jersey and got on through Uzi cause he blew up or Metro networking his way to Future and Gucci by a similar means by the internet, traveling to Atlanta and eventually moving there. And then you have the OTR producer who just happened to get his s*** luckily picked by the right person off the internet.

Yea like niggas call Drake soft for backing out but he was right it wasn't about bars anymore it became a circus

Its the equivalent of Mike Tyson biting Evander Holyfield's ear because he couldn't outbox him

Same with Ether and Takeover. Jay for the most part spoke facts (he was wilding with the "1 hot album every 10 year average" line thou )

Nas resorted to playground insults which lead to Jay talking about having s***with Nas baby moms on Supa Ugly and by that point it became a circus, a modern minstrel show tbh. Two black kings tearing each other down in the name of "competition".

Like I said I know competition has its place in hip hop/art but in hip hop specifically it tends to lead to clown s***

In any other situation/context outside of hip hop Push would be looked at as a chatty patty and Shade Room/Lipstick Alley/Wendy Williams type of nigga for outing a nigga's baby moms/child. Only in hip hop do we just make it okay for niggas to say things that in real life would be looked at as gossip

Edit this just incase tbh but they have a good run so far, producers don't last very long in general tbh

Facts back to back is a classic because it was actually a good song in addition to being a good diss track

F*** editing fam jm boutta delete that s***. KTT dialogue gonna have me cancelled

Cuz In hip-hop you either got it or you don’t

Highkey, niggas some haters on here and will wait for you to blow up and post about it and then you end up on a complex article for talking s***

Bruh just shut up you sound dumb lol

you said "it's not like it's toxic, s*** has always been used in a healthy way"

What is healthy about Jay Z talking about f***ing Nas' baby moms on Supa Ugly?

What is healthy about Pusha T making fun of 40's illness?

What is healthy about Ja Rule alluding to Eminem's daughter (who was a child at the time) growing up to be a crackhead or a s***?

These are grown men saying these things about other grown men in a very public setting. There's nothing healthy about it. Its childish clown s***.

it gets the people goong

Beef is always stupid.

its provacative
