i disagree..at the peak, everyone and their brother wanted to battle rap..but waiting, the weak have died off and what you're left with is tried and true competitors..slaughterhouse wants a good show, and in my opinion, if you weren't called for this event, you don't qualify

maybe....but i think that had he had his hand in it when it was emerging...especially after 8 mile..he couldve legitimized it more.

I think Em looking at it as a business investment now that its blown up
battle rap wouldn't of made shit back in 2002 we both know that

battle rap blew up and is dead now.....trust me dude...this is a dead artform.

thats a good point..if he ran with this after 8 Mile we'd be having a different convo

Let's face it, I'm not even a fan of the film but every single one of us is on here today because of 8 mile.

So is Eminem actually hosting this?

I think this is a bad idea for Budden tbh, don't see what he has to gain.

Budden gonna slaughter himself, Canibus style.

He's craving relevancy. No one is fucking with his music. Still I agree with Nicholas, Bad move.
