My partner dropped out last minute on the day of the UK WRC battle tryouts or I'd have been there competing. Ive followed it pretty closely ever since, knew a lot of the guys involved early on, then I followed DF when that was formed and ended up working at the same job with @ MMLP so I put him on to rap battles as he was a fan of hiphop too. I'd be at work with him midweek, leave to battle on like Wednesday/Thursday night, then tell him some of the lines that went down and whether I won/lost. I took him to DF North vs South too early on and he travelled with me up and down the country to diff events I was battling at. We've been friends about 10 years now, battlings a young man's game though, I don't really have time to travel the country nowadays but I'll still get involved if there's something local happening in my city. |
Damn, blast from the past. The first battles I watched were probably ScribbleJam, Eyedea/Thesarus/Justice years.. Not quite sure where Smack DVD Mook and Loaded..etc fits in with the whole time line, but I was on that when it came out. Iron Solomon was killing it in the early days too, minus the recycling. Then I moved onto watching JumpOff event battles where Pro Green took the 7 wins in a row at the club night. Jin's run on BET might of come a little bit after that and then Jumpoff Street Battles started and it's all ran from there, Grindtime Now, KOTD..etc
Eurgh fucked it, always knew he would from the early days. Seems like the main guys are all behind this one though, not sure about the name Code Red tho.. Mountain Dew?
