Thats unfortunately accurate and they don't wanna give em his respect since a lot of people consider him synonymous with battle rap and he hasn't been apart of what it has evolved to be

[@BenCarmichael0]

I would also add that battle rappers think being "corporate" or "mainstream" automatically takes away street cred. The ability to say I'm in the mud struggling, fighting and proving the dog in themselves seems impossible if you making millions and don't gotta "trap" anymore. Its almost like your street life never happened and what you say will be under more scrutiny like you're lying.

"Shit on own opportunity" is the same as "scare them off".

They also had Royce Da 5'9, King Crooked, Joel Ortiz, and Joe Budden involved in judging the battles! They got a damn TV show produced by the most popular rapper who made battle rap a world wide phenomenon with the movie 8Mile, on top of having the most lyrical group of Emcee's judging each match! It was a win win in every aspect because in the end every person that rapped on the show would gain mainstream appeal and get paid and the winners would be paid serious money and be set up to pursue their careers without the burden of being stressed and starving through the beginning.

I got really into Battle rap a few years ago, and the entire reason I did was a guy on KZbin who was talking about the battles, the match ups, the culture, drama etc and that got me into it, then he got absolutely dissed by the entire community and looked down upon to the point of him not wanting to do it anymore, then I lost interest in it. They really don't help themselves by wanting to stay niche. The same thing happened with skateboarding years ago and now look, they opened up and the sport is massive now.

[@VENGEFULHEXX]

Skateboarding is definitely different. The culture itself is a counter culture so making it commercial just opens it up to being exploited which is what has happened. You gotta ride for Nike and monster/red bull now to make a living while they pulled a Walmart and killed a bunch of other smaller core companies in the process because they can bank roll their way in. That's literally what happened. Battle rap has a different culture so it's not quite the same.

[@xn-triq7607]

@@VENGEFULHEXX I get what you're saying, but I've been skating myself for year's and personally I like how open and accepting it is now, the gate keeping within the culture was holding the popularity and money making opportunities back in the 2000's and 2010's, now you got small companies, big companies, Social media, and endless way's to earn a living from skating, plus they still have a core group who are die hard skater's, influences, child friendly, the level's have gone up big ti,e and the entire culture has grown into an industry. I hope Battle rap can learn from this and make the most of their talent like skaters did, rather than stay in the basement pretending to be to cool for anybody else outside the core group of die hard's.

[@VENGEFULHEXX]

@@xn-triq7607 you're talking about a different kind of gate keeping and I promise you back in the early 00s there was much more diversity than the example you're trying to use now. Watch the layout of the course of contests like Tampa pro in the early/mid 00s and 90s and just look at the amount of different companies stickers are all over the course. Compare that to now. Big difference.

@@VENGEFULHEXX Agree, but that's massive contests, in general today you have a much, much much, bigger chance to earn money and create a career for yourself. Those sponsors back then were for the big names and contests, where as now a youtuber can get massive sponsors, the same as a pro.

I'm a local producer and rapper/writer. To do an interview, I mainly freestyle my conversation with rhymes and quotes. See its hard to convert when you are constantly studying one thing.

His strong point. Stan, was my first love when I heard it. The way Em told that story it was in battle mode but conscious reality of a truth. Something like " The Fan " with Wesley and Deniro. Similar story plot.

They just missed they shot! Like Em said you only get one shot don't miss a blow this opportunity come once in a lifetime!

Reading these comments and it's so sad to see how ppl miss the point of everything smh

[@StuPedahso]

I've never known Mook to stumble over his thoughts. I think Adam bodied them both in this battle.

You crazy? Mook damn near stumbles through his sentences in every interview 😂

Murda Mook! How do you get through 3 long battle rounds but can't get your thoughts out in a sequence that makes sense in an interview?

[@copyrightfreemusiconyoutub6469]

Told my homie something happened. The way battle rap was trending it should have taken tf off and been the biggest thing entertainment wise rn. Crazy to think about

[@tsusurflawyer2432]

It got water down and unoriginal They all started sounding the same And using same 4-bar set up and Gun bar after Gun bar. The outside world really doesn't check for battle rap. It would've been bigger if there was more versatility, creativity, originality and they took their craft more serious

[@iam_Gavinb]

This interview is the perfect example of egos in Battle Rap. In the past decade these guys have done more interviews criticizing battle rap, than battles and have literally said NOTHING IN ANY INTERVIEW

[@dixienormus6070]

I gotta love/hate relationship for Adam. He creates an entertaining environment. Respectfully.

[@mobhouse5631]

Would love to see Adam in a setting like VladTV. A more serious interview setting vs the podcast setup -although this is a podcast, adam is super talented at interviewing. He should set up another set for serious 1on1 interviews!

[@mobhouse5631]

Call it.. 22on1

[@MikeHunt-qu6ef]

The only thing that messed up your position with total slaughter is Daylyt, he fucked that whole night up. Everyone forgot came to the battle , dressed like spawn, ripped his costume off, acted like he took a shit, ate the shit, which was candy bar, started saying some mr hanky shit. He messed up everything, biggest stage for battle rap and he literally shitted on the opportunity.

[@urbannuance5151]

Mook is stating some facts. Battle Rap fans be on some emotional type time. Because the culture has been on the back burner for a while.

Nothing stays pure and nothing lasts. Blow that battle rap shit up make history and move on before it’s over

[@fnes13]

Em came from a different era too. In the Scribble Jam days who had to freestyle your raps. Nowadays mfs write, pre- rehearse, and perfect their verses before they even stand across their opponent and only have to come up with a slick freestyled rebuttal here and there. In the past you had to come up with all your lines and rebuttals in the moment and maybe a few of them were memorized. Guys like Supernatural, MC Juice, and Eminem freestyle battled and did it more for respect and guys like Murda Mook, Dizaster, and Loaded Lux write their shit and put on better live performances because there is money on the line. I like both styles, but they cant do what Em used to do and Em can't do what these guys do IMO.

[@JL-by6ce]

Eminem at his core is a battle rapper. Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers were two other rappers he put out there beacause he can. I hope makes sense. He's basically 3 rappers in one. Eminem these days is back to Eminem. We havent heard from Slim Shady in years.

[@markballer713]

I remember when battle rappers actually freestyled instead of havin writtens.. its ok to write, but dont call it a freestyle.

[@og-ru6oc]

What battle rap are you talking about? None calls it freestyle, 3 written rounds and you are free to rebuttal

[@markballer713]

@@og-ru6oc im talkin abt wen it was actually freestyles. I kno they write now. In my opinion, freestyle battles showed more skill then writtens

@@markballer713 I think you mean pre-meditated. Because most of them do that. It's called old school freestyle. It's a thing.

[@13fox89]

Sounds like what mook was trying to articulate is pride. Too much pride to allow outsiders to help promote & get the word out about the battle rapping scene to the point where it hurts them & the battle rapping community as well. Pridefulness to the point it becomes detrimental to you. To quote Nas “How you expect to get love if you don’t show none” (Album: Kings Disease II, Track: Store Run)

[@seancushnie974]

Listening to Mook is exhausting. Total adhd. Restarts sentences five times, just completely loses himself cuz he loves to hear himself talk too much

[@dinpuiapuia2285]

The black cap guy is high af 😂😂😂

[@darkskinwhite]

I think hes probably right but I can understand it though because battle rappers are purists and they saw what happened to the rest of rap & they're concerned about it.
