hip hop cats are too busy pretending that they're getting paid to battle or cipher ;)

interlude on the Carter II
where Lil wayne says cat asked him to battle on camera
and he responded "dawg, how much we gon make for this?"

I think heads are busy trayina get paid.. but cipherin & buildin with fellow emcees is a dying but very important part of Hip Hop.
(a lil idealistic I know)

i think battling is and has a always been a crucial part of rap, regardless of whether cats are broke or paid, elements like that will remain because if we lose them we lose the culture. therefore these elements no matter how unappealing they may seem to a new jack actually drive and sustain the culture and remain to be the spine of this culture of rap.

Guess we gotta take the initiative and schedule these things.. Cyphers used to happen spontaneously nowadays cats are too cool to be caught huddled up kickin raps.
I say we revive the art!

I dont think tha its so much that we are acting like we getting paid! For example I still do cypers and when cats suggest one I never back down, The problem with JHb is when you have cypers at malls and shit security make it an issue and you get your a** kicked put sadly!
