in the end you battle for honour and respect from your peers!
I started to walk around starting ciphers on every corner that had heads congregated congested. Cipher activeness taught me.
1.You battle, what's whack.
2.Battle cats a soldiers fighting off all negativity, 8mile is entertaining to new comers.
3.Battles between a whack cat and a tight cat can degrade a battle till it's not entertaining, so save the honor when you can see whack cat fronting, beat him with tracks and not attention. Cause it’s like a genius arguing with a fool.
4.Through personal encounters I saw that when cats want you knocked off and they can't, they constantly bring other cats to battle you, mcees hara** you, cause someone sent them out like demons to get you.
5.You only as tight as your last freestyle, every freestyle has its moments, you kill shit in the morning you comatose in the evening, shit changes like P.E. weather and no one will accept your excuse, when you lose a battle.
6.You can't prepare for freestyle so you can't prepare for a battle, going to a cipher conjuring battle rhymes and you see freestyle when you “premeditated” or wrote down punch-lines the week before.
7.I believe that the way to know who's tighter than who. You give them a tight beat a good concept and studio time, if they both tight we've got a cla**ic track, if one shines a crown comes out, if one fades the other we know who’s tighter, more quick on his toes when concerntrating and who is more committed to the music they make, If they both whack the tracks whack the battle also would’ve been whack.
8. Get respect by giving respect hip hop is a life not just word and a beat.
