eMC Discusses The Evolution Of Battle Rap Culture [Video]

EMC sat down with VladTV to share their favorite battle stories from when they were coming up in the culture, with Masta Ace saying one was from high school when another student and him went back and forth with 50 other students watching them. The hip hop group reveals that battling in their prime is different than today in terms of the level of disrespect, with Wordsmith saying he doesn’t know if he could battle by today’s standards of over-aggression. However, they recognize that the essence and love of the culture is the same. Make sure to cop their new EP, “The Turning Point” in stores now.
