But yea...its a slight to the culture...the artform itself was built as a way to express your feelings of frustration towards others in a non violent way. This is ugly. These battlers nowadays are taking the essence out of it with their hatred more and more tho. Yes its a battle....but there should be lines...its supposed to be fun. Whats fun about hearing sum1 tear your fucking soul from you in rhyme format by disparaging your friends and family ...especially the ones lost.

I think the personal aspect that battlers have placed so much emphasis on in the last decade or so takes away from the craft and makes it something it was never meant to be.
