Battle rap in your country

[Dentelan]

I was just curious how battle-rap culture is doing in other countries. In Russia, last 5 years, somehow it moved from underground level to mainstream, youtube numbers are very big, even news channels are talking about most hyped battles.
And i just found few weeks ago KOTD project after it was hyped in russian youtube, oxxxymiron vs dizaster battle, so i was curiuos why battle rap culture is dying (as it seems to me) in USA and other countries and becaming big industry in Russia, for example?
What you think about all this battle rap stuff?
As for me, it was very interesting to see how russians and americans were doing battle , btw, have anyone seen it?

In Germany we got some battle rap "celebrities" but they are all morons, childish shit.

It's like a combination of World Wide Wrestling and rap? How do they judge who won?

Looks like they rap about real life issues. It's interesting I might watch more of it when I get a chance.

It is a thing.. in Denmark.. but it isn't a big thing.. A form of sublevel entertainment...

[LiiLoSNK]

Once it went mainstream, Canada ruined it and turned it into awkward poetry. No music.

[Danuel]

So rap in Russia is still a thing? How peculiar...

[VyersReaver]

Yup, I'm from Russia, and I can say that Rap VS is a very popular thing here. With Oxxy being a world class rapper now (apparently), we are expecting Slava KPSS (Гнойный) to challenge Eminem, because honestly, he can.

Edit: а, ТС из Питера. Тут все ясно.

Eminem will clearly lose. He will be out of words!

To be fair, I don't think Oxxy had anything in English beforehand either.

Interesting. I like anything populist where intelligence is involved.

If I wanted to see two people hurt each other, i'd rather see it being done with fists than words.

That said, in the US, we have it on TV, on the radio, and on the internet. It's popular enough.

Rap can be good but I always found rap battles to be retarded.

NSFW, adult language!

This is the American side I guess.

[Gaexion Ramza Beoulve]

This is preferable to real battles so...do as you please, no one will stop you.

edit: Hello future anthropologist. Thank you for taking the time to dig up old archives about the origins of battle rap. The purpose of this note is an attempt to explain that there was a time in human history when people didn't speak exclusively in rhymes.

I thought Battlerapping was done and over with last decade in the US.

[Cosmic Janitor]

It envolves talking like someone with brain damage and mentioning the other person's mother alot.

It should have been, it's the stupidest and most cringe worthy thing on the tube. Now we have Mayim Bialik(Blossum and Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler from The Big Bang Theory) battle wrapping on the latest TV travesty, Drop the mic.
