Battle rap was built on hating
 

when you think about the first battle

Kool Moe D vs Busy bee

Didn't even start out as a battle
they were suppose to be performing sets

Busy always rocked the crowd better than anyone at that time

Kool got on the mic and started talking that shit....

and the rest is history

What? A format that is built on talking shit to people was started by someone talking shit?

Woah.

lmao but how can we call other people haters

when the culture was built on it?

I always thought its about making fun of your opponent.... when u watch live battles at the end people are normally cool after it theres no hate there only somtimes there is.

I think you're confusing battle rap with hip-hop, battle rap is a niche sub-category of hip-hop. Hip-Hop is the overall culture, not the other way around.

yeah one of the main things in live battles you're suppose to do
is stand there and act like your opponent is spitting garbage

i hate how this generation calls any form of clowning or roasting someone hating... FOH

lol so what kool was doing in the 80's wasn't hating?

GTFOH nigga
