Just since this dropped this mornin figured I'd ask Siccness. Never seen too much discussion on URL or KOTD in these forums. I think some people were on Diz' nuts a lil too hard and Po Rich did better than expected.
Who would you like to see battle Dizaster and who do u think would be a good challenger?

its not 1998-2003 no more that battle shit played out now like fubu jerseys and harlem shake. Not to sound funny but them t-dot niggas are always behind far as hip hop and just now doing shit americans been did ten years ago.

THEY AINT THE ONLY ONES DOING IT... BATTLE RAP HAS GOTTEN BIGGER THAN IT WAS BACK IN THOSE DAYS... PEOPLE GET SO CAUGHT UP IN THE FACT THAT IT'S NOT FREESTYLING ANYMORE THAT THEY ARE MISSING OUT ON SOME GOOD BATTLES... IT'S ENTERTAINMENT...

I'm not goin 2 be the 1 to carry the torch for KOTD and whatnot, just wanted to know what your impression of this is. Far as I know URL is a NY/NJ outfit and has stronger battlers. It was not a good look really like Dizaster said about havin Po Rich be the face of KOTD or w.e but saying "all T Dot niggas is behind, blah blah blah" sounds like a generalization. I think that could be said about a lot of regions far as I can tell. There is some solid artists in this region who I wouldn't classify as 10 years behind, some don't know their lane though so you're right about that Showdown

I'm not into this kind of battle-rap, tbh. I know it has a lot of followers, but to me it's a lot more like spoken-word, without much rhythm. I don't think a lot of these guys could cross over and do normal rap tracks, or battle on a beat.
