The Arena Ep.13: The 4 Schools Of Battling & Re-Using Punchlines

[mscottveach]

cool stuff; i wonder if you're missing a style? not sure what to call it: rhetorician? it's rare, but sometimes a battler will go into an earnest, rhetorical, speech-giving style. it's not jokes, not roasting, has elements of technical, but it's really about the power of epic speech - examples: iron solomon vs eness "i'm the first time anyone turned rakim's mic on!" / dna's you got a problem with time vs diz / don't know who this was but it ends with quoting gladiator "are you not entertained!?"

@mscottveach It's more or less a sub-division of Roasting, using self affirmation to expose your opponents weakness while at the same time revealing your superiority. But that is something to discuss!

Dude, I've had classes all day, I've been up since 11 o'clock last night, and I'm watching this video. These videos are so good, and your knowledge of battle rap is amazing.

And fuck you! I was gonna do pat stay vs marv won as a video response to you. But I guess we can both do it, lol.

[Alex703rockstar]

Do you watch Don't Flop.

[UgoStrange]

@Alex703rockstar Haven't got into it just yet, but I like a lot of their battlers.

[Alex703rockstar]

That was me.

[IvIadNice]

Can you be all around tho???

[UgoStrange]

@IvIadNice The Battlers are, except some can't do aggressive.

[uberhikari]

@IvIadNice Illmac and Bender are the only one's who I think even come close.

Grindtime-jokers and roasters, KOTD-all of the above and URL-T,A and R(jokes not much at all that's why it's the most respected rap league.)...........

What up G long time no see.I see you interviewed DNA awhile back with Jesserican....Excellent video I like how you broke it down (re-using punchlines) with the other 3 schools of battling. By using as an example with: Arsonal allegedly "job occupation" the reason I say that because I don't know him personally. Just the same way they say, "T-Rex is a male nurse". Back to the lecture at hand I liked how Calicoe flipped it. All yeah about time you decide to review Pat Stay vs. Marv-One!

[iron3624]

what about the people like okwerdz who are the more personal type of rappers

[UgoStrange]

@iron3624 Personals are a plan of attack, you can fit personals into all schools but the people who use Personals the most are The Roasters.

[iron3624]

@UgoStrange but would u call okwerdz a roaster?

[UgoStrange]

@iron3624 yes but not a very good one.

[thelightseeker94]
