Hip hop has always been about being seen, heard, and outdoing any competition to see who’s has with more style. Have you ever been in a situation where people think they’re rap battling when they’re actually rap babbling? It’s embarrassing to keep the flow going, and fall off and have to get back on beat.

Check it out.
