Yo I was reading your replys and messages but as much as battling is an important aspect of hip-hop. On the streets theres alot of hating, for example alot of the heads from the hood would never cheer on a cat from a different hood or show love to a cat thes generally dope. If you cats remember when Y-fm had that thing at the bus station and Pro-kid won and got a deal! Alot of you forgot that He killed Adamus along the way! And alot of other cats. What Bout Reason have you heard him? Or even Golden Shovel? I personally think that Snazz has fallin off and Golden Shovel will Kill any mc, but the fact that He said I dont battle no more we start labeling mc's as weak. Zubz, Proverb, Reason, Anvils,Optical ill and alot of other cats still have that battle side, the difference is that at the end of the day you got to eat and make money!
Food for thought
