We have new class of Battle Rap Fans that appreciate the culture.
We now can extend gratitude to Fight Klub Rap Battle , Ultimate Rap League, Lionz Den
for being the blue print of the Battle Rap Empire that has taken over in our culture and reached every ethnic group, country, and has expanded the culture.
You will revisit or be introduced to battles that are legendary and still debated upon right now!
I don’t have to even mention names…
We will pay homage to Grind Time and show case rap Legends, Arsonal Da Rebel, and Conceited’s earlier rap battles.
We will revisit battles with the late Tall T and earlier battles with Legends Murda Mook and Iron Solomon!

I have witnessed this before and I understand emotions are higher during a rap battle while adrenaline is passing through the system.
Preparation has to be a difficult task, due to the pressure of reciting and timing for your place on stage.
So why do we witness rappers loosing cool on the stage?
The gang members religion is his gang is their religion and you would have had a lighter response if you cursed God, or their child.
Chess did not touch you.
You have the capacity to reach everyone in the world with battle rap, if you leave the buffoonery at home, but those damn colors out-shined K-Shine.
No one better say that it was a reason for that stupidity, but living that street mentality in the street and providing an art form to the masses.
K-Shine and DNA had a classic battle and K-Shine also garnered respect for his Tsu Surf battle also feature on the URL Stage.
Now, what happens to the culture?
The culture has been infiltrated by the different gang affiliations and the pride inside is lost due to the self-taught homage that we give way to, and the cultural significance that we seem to ignore.
This moment in battle history pushes the negative racist agenda that battle rap is attempting to erase in the physical form, without physical harm.
Of course, we let those damn street colors over ride our mental development and pride and turn a legendary tag team battle to legendary embarrassment to the culture.
K-Shine, you better than this. It was no reason to launch at that man, considering the fact that Arsonal Da Rebel was in your face nose to nose the entire battle insulting everyone in your family, neighborhood, and your gang.
Arsonal went in on you, over and over again and you kept cool.
K-Shine you battle all the time, and you going to touch the smallest and maybe the
youngest person in URL battle rap history.
Chess said, “Blood, I will take your food.”
DAMMIT you in a battle, you are suppose to insult each other.
Again, Chess did not touch you.
You put all your hard work and everything you have built with your namesake aside to pay homage to outside mess that mentality should have been left outside and you cheated your fans, including me.
Charron and Pat Stay created a night to remember for Battle Rap and how far The Lionz Den Fight Klub, Grind Time, and of course URLTV.
Who could fathom that that Murda Mook would be standing in a unified front to support KOTD ,and demonstrate a genuine respect to Organic in Canada?
Murda Mook and T-Rex and Dot Mobb in general have proclaimed their undying loyalty to Smack White, unless you count that ridiculously Corney battle between Murda Mook And Iron Solomon, which Mook did address lack of early support of URL.
However, the culture is at an all time high, and the originators of the culture, must be elated that battle rap has evolved in the last five years to every country.
Battle Rap was once a platform and a way for little black boys to have an audience, and now it is appreciated by every age, culture and background.
When the rest of the world were blinded, and unconcerned with this genre of entertainment, don’t forget that these leagues and performers made all of this possible. Salute to the original legends that blood, sweat and tears created this opportunity to everyone,they made this possible.
I missed Bill Collector’s Return…
