What is Battle?
1.
Battle is the Core system of Hiphop.
you battle on the Mic (Rap)
you battle on the floor (Breakdance)
you battle on turntables (Turntablism)
you battle on the wall (Graffiti)
When you find yourself competing using any one of these you are a true hiphop head not the shit talking, preaching muthafucking backpacker.

HIPHOP IS PROVING SOMETHING NOT SHIT TALKING.
