    Good news report on "Battle Rap", but it DOES NOT show the other side of the lyrics and the real-life consequences behind them. There have been countless diss records that have gotten people beat up and even KILLED. I can appreciate battle rap, but, only when it stays on wax and not in the streets. If we're being honest, rap beefs and diss records often culminate in violence, whether that's 50 vs. Ja, Biggie vs. 2Pac, or some of the drill rappers coming up in cities like Chicago, Brooklyn, and London.

      There’s literally thousands of face to face rap battles that happen every year …. “Countless” and “often” is not true it seldomly happens. Different gangs, neighborhoods, races all with little to no incident. It’s just highly publicized when it’s a famous people are involved.

    Thanks for using my piece from back in the 70's at 1:50. I would like to think that Style Writing culture and Jams later known as Hip-Hop are in their own lanes. Now with this being said these two subcultures cross paths quite a lot and for reasons.
    Don't forget that writing started before the jams started happening but all the key players in these subcultures knew each other. This was from school, sports, their blocks/communities but more importantly from writing and seeing their handstyles in the streets.
    Both of these subcultures started in the streets and have now touched a world wide audience. No matter where you go in the world it's influences can be seen from countless new generations of rappers, b-boys/girls and the expression of visual mathematics.

      It’s all about marketing and making money . Half of these battle rappers don’t go on to actually have rap careers . Cassidy paved a way for rappers that battle to get recognition and get to the bag but it’s not that entertaining honestly . Especially when Math Hoffa was running around punching people in the face during the battles .

    I’m sorry ABC news but this is cringeworthy. Hip Hop and its origins were not based on battling each other. Ask Chuck D . It was a social construct put in place to divide people . The overall message of Hip Hop is unity so please don’t misconstrue that part .
