Look at the stuff Real Talk was putting out - unless he came back and improved a ton, that dude wouldn't make it to the quarterfinals in any tournament today.
Man, but Real Talk's track and cypher game was top notch. That is true tho.. Not many are, but the ones who are, are. It doesn't need to be that many in it 3-5 is enough. Just as long as emcees are getting the rates they deserve from more battle rap knowledgeable vets.
