I wouldn't say Tantrum and DFD were good friends goign INTO it, its just more a mutual respect sort of thing, later on they met up, dumb did an interview with him and posted it up on youtube, they're cool with each other, a battles just a battle.

That said, thats not how it always ends, especially with a guy named dick head

Pretty sure rapping is his way of makin money or his hobby. I know a few of my friends battle rap on weekends to relieve stress and have a good time.

You'd have to be pretty petty to relieve stress and gain enjoyment by harshly abusing a 'friend'

I do make meaningful hip hop...A battle requires you to completely demoralize your opponent.

Scaramanga think of it as hip hop performance art. These battles play out like a dramatic and unpredictable script that challenges both performer's nerves, charisma, and writing abilities.

Charisma and writing abilities? we were watching the same video right? 75% of that 'charismatic art' was about raping the opponent's girlfriend or mother
Yeah, truly inspiring art lol

Harshly abusing a friend? I tell my best friend I smashed his mother every night, us both knowing damned well that never happened. It's just saying something. Sticks and stones man....the people doing these battles shouldn't ever take feelings like that. Y'know?
Maybe I could teach Osama that using a plane as a wraith or dropship would be 10x better than using it as a scourge..... ^^; -Flex

If you can't tell your best friend that they're a bitch in a jokingly tone then something is wrong.
GrindTime is all in good fun, these are people who come out trying to test themselves in the sort of rap environment. They spend hours writing material, though offensive, to later present to their target audience.
I don't see anything wrong with that.

Except everyone knows that it isn't serious. This is like saying sparring in martial arts is abusive because you kick/punch/wrestle with your opponent without taking into context that this is a competitive environment where it the two are "fighting" while keeping respect and understanding that it isn't a fight.

Enter: "I don't like this so it isn't enjoyable; how meaningless!"

I said nerve too. Not everyone gets called a bitch and thinks they're being harshly abused.

Scaramanga, that like saying, Starcraft sucks cuz you have to rebuild you army every game >.<
ITS THE NATURE OF THE BEAST. Battle rap = verbal sparring.....i mean battle rap STARTED with "ur momma" jokes, ITS THE NATURE OF THE BEAST.

Do you want Tunk to compliment his shoes and polite demeanor? I mean its battle rap man, DO you hate starcraft b/c no matter how big ur last army was you always start with the same few dudes?

Also gratz on naming urself after the gayest Bond bad guy ever made..........Scaramanga PUuuuullllLEaSe

Dont post trolling in a battle rap thread, it good vibes in here !

um, ya great contribution to the thread...

Hey Tunk when is your next battle? I was wondering how they go about scheduling the battles and if there is like a set time in between them or they just schedule them randomly?

They schedule them randomly...I should have 1-2 more Grind Time battles this year, and I'm in talks with getting a battle in Colorado this year soon.

Nah, there was some problems bruh...Apparently in round 2 goodz got mad at someone in the crowd, and stated "I'm not one of these rap ni**as" then busted a wine bottle on his face. That battle was stopped. Also Head Ice, and T-Rex got into it outside, and Head Ice knocked him out.

What an odd simile
Sparing in martial arts is to improve one's self defense and is necessary as it's really the only way to get real live experience, which you do need, before getting yourself into a fight.
GrindTime, however helpful to your writing skills and hip hop ability (couldn't think of anything better to call it) isn't necessary. The only skill that is uniquely gained in grindtime is your ability to think of witty comments to say to people when you want to abuse them, but whats the point? If you were to do this all the time people wouldn't praise you for it, they'd just call you a dick. In my experience, people grow out of this behavior at 15, so i find it really strange that people in their 20 somethings would look at people of a similar age and say "hey man that was really cool, i especially liked that comment about you raping both his mother and his girlfriend at the same time". Tunk clearly has alot of talent as a writer, but to me he is just wasting his gift on schoolyard bullshit. So i say again, why not make some soulful hip hop that everyone can enjoy?
