Hmmmm,  Let me hear your style and then if it's good the other rapper would go. It wasn't about "getting all personal" with your opponent it was kinda like playing the dozens and ripping up another MC in a rhythmic way of rhyming different. It was about styles and some MC's mastered various forms of rhyming and even added their OWN twist to it, which also made it different from other artists.  What do I know though? I don't rap. I just "Really" listen to what I like and remember when it took a turn for the worst. Over and Over.  Hip hop/rap can't die because it's music! Music with a title because it's considerably new to music. Some of the MC's that started it is still going strong in the music industry. This is all off my memory, kinda like looking up something on Wikipedia, lol. If something I said is off please feel free to comment as always!
