Battle Rap Culture?? hahahhaa....no.
So i've been seeing more and more...'respect the culture' when it comes to battle rap. The reality is...battle rap has no culture. It is quite literally a bastardized, less creative version of hip hop. How do i know this? Well....read through these battles. Fucking anyone can do it. To compare Battle Rap to actual Hip Hop music is insulting.
Battle rap is one small element of the music. Its like saying that the Harlem Globetrotters could beat the '95 Bulls. One is a complete team, completing against other complete teams in all facets of the game...defense, pressure, crowd effect, injuries. The other is a team that focuses on nothing but dribbling and showmanship.
Apples and Oranges.
so the next time you are about 'battle rap culture'...remind yourself what that means. Its the fakest part of Hip Hop.

Yo @ Krhyme Killz
you're saying that anybody can battle rap I agree
but it seems its almost as easy to become an emcee nowadays too
without putting in any time or effort unlike battlers
examples that whip that nae nae dude from ATL
he basically just jacked other people dances from previous years
added a catchy Future sounding hook posted it on youtube
and now he's touring...
The big artist in the game have ghost writers/C.O history/house nigga from Compton/
.....so everything aint authentic in Hip Pop either
now everyone might agree that Meek Vs Drake beef
was the best thing to happen in Hip Pop...thats how low it sunk
6-7 years ago everyone would of been clowning it
saying it was the worst beef in rap history

@ Krhyme Killz damn, fam. Good to see you still 'round the place. Hows things?
Battle rap is only a segment of Hip Hop. Hip Hop's the culture.

@ Krhyme Killz : I agree with you, but I have seen some battles that are very interesting in a hip hop sense of being more artistic and conversational about legitimate societal issues, but there are always punches to bring it back to the hating aspect.
I tend to preach this point quite a bit, but maybe that's because I appreciate music and the artistic sides of hip hop more since I am not the strongest battler... middleweight status at best.

First and foremost, being a subculture of a larger group still denotes a culture of its own volition.
Second, perhaps they are remarking on the culture of hip-hop, as an entirety, as opposed to "battle rap culture."

No one is acknowledging the fact that hip hop was unique because of the need for some degree of authenticity and respect. Battle rap is literally a written script and sometimes collaborated performance with the sole purpose of catering to the most simple form of hip hop....the diss.
Classic battle rap is different as it possessed spontaneous material with real respect on the line. Go watch Pat Stay vs. Rone compliment battle then tell me that's in the same vein as DMX battling Hov
