He doesn't mean HasuObs. Hasu is the opposite of gosu in Korea. Kind of like calling someone a newbie. (Not as bad as calling someone chobo though)

this is grindtime, everything is written. everyone is expected to constantly barrage the opponent with a library full of prepared multisyllabic rhymes that are smart and funny. this isn't freestyle friday, its grindtime lol. i repeat, its grindtime


and this was racist, its not even like that. these types of posts are bannable offenses on TL, the mods are harsh be careful


i know the internet these days is full of anti-rap bandwagoners, and TL is full of nerds xD
but never knew it was to this extent; most people in the thread have not seen this side of pop culture

anyways props to a 3-1 grindtime record, that is legit and i hope you soar in your rap career
keep it fresh the rap game is not easy

Anti-racism is the new racism. I agree about the rap haters bandwagon thing though. I like how so many on all these thread talk like, "lol I don't usually listen to this but it's good!" Who knew that if you actually gave something a chance it could be good eh? Just sayin.

::: Listen up everyone that Loves hip-hop AND sc2:::

This guy is pretty f-n sick at battling, AND sc2, plus he is a helluva nice guy..... So since he went into a battle rap and repp'd TL and SC2 just for love, lets show him some back.
Get the world out to Huskies, Day9, HD, PsyStartcraft, Tastosis, ALL of them if we can. Tell them that there is a TALENTED underground rapper out there that is "one of us". Lets try to get them to give him a few shout outs, or maybe some youtube plugs, GrindTime plugs, and get this dude some spotlight. It is in the nature of Sc2 to be supportive, sc2 seems to have a super supportive community and i hope that we can help one of our own rise up and get some glory on the mic.
--So plz if you know how to contact Day9, Huskies, Psy, Hd, or any of the big names in the NA sc2/TL community, PM the info to Tunk and lets do this.
They can do tons of cool shit on there channels with a Master league battle rapper.... DO it for love of music and this game...Do it to see a guy in a Team Liquid shirt stand in a room full of thugged out rappers and talk shit to them about there Gf's and mothers.......

Lets treat him well, lets make him big. I wanna hear him tell some dude he is gonna "inject his chick like a queen on a hatchery......."

Btw Tunk, the crowd did NOT get on your side enough for the richard cranium "dick head" line looool. He sounded like he had no clue wtf he was talking about, mumbling every line, laughing at his own jokes, ending his verses early, etc.

no offense but your chances of battling a top tier opponent is slim to none. it's nice that tl is stroking your ego and all but you really aren't that good compared to any of the top tiers and even the mid tier battlers. but i respect what your doing so keep it up.

I do know the leagues and ill explain to you why i said that. the chances of you getting a "top tier" opponent let a lone a battle in url is zero. you and i both know this.

you probably wont get a battle in kotd unless you issue a challenge with money involved. and whos really top tier in kotd? pat stay, pesci, and bender. you really think you will get a chance to battle one of em? you do have a shot to battle people in mid tier like hfk, porich, charron, etc, but again you will have to fly yourself out there with your own money.

now lets move to gt. yeh you have a chance to battle the likes of thesaurus, illmac, diz, real deal etc but only if you pay them. other than that they will not battle you. on the other hand if you are referring to people in mid tier that are "dope" like dlor, and a bunch of others, you may have a chance sometime in the future, but as of right now probably not. you also have to understand that it is extremely difficult to get a battle with a top tier with how unwilling they are to battle someone in mid tier/ bottom tier to begin with. it's also hard to move up from mid tier to top tier these days since everyone is so gassed up on themselves and are afraid to lose.

i actually don't like bender i'm going by what other people say and apparently people think hes one of the best in kotd. i also thought arcane won that battle. the only people i actually enjoy watching in kotd is pesci, pat stay, and kid twist when hes on his A game.

also soul khan beat two scrubs in his url battles, but im sure if given the opportunity for a top tier battler he would body them as well. even so, url has the top battlers along side gt imo. math, yung ill, hitman holla, hollow, etc an hang with the best of the grind time battlers.

p.s. i think thesaurus is awful right now. he was super nice during his wrc days and his battles against dfd and illmac, but his recent battles have been unbearable

Sup, got another question.
So people are throwing insults around but it looks like they're actually good friends, I mean you gave a shoutout to Cranium in your RC video. My question is: do people sometimes take the insults seriously or are most people for the most part just bros to each other outside of the battles?

Tunk can you clarify why this is a valid use of anyone's time? I find it perplexing that people past their teens can enjoy shouting haphazard attacks at each in order to win some kind of "battle". If you can "rap better than me, or anyone i know." then why not put it to better use.

Sometimes friends battle friends lol .

I gave out a shout out to Richard Cranium in a somewhat disrespectful way though. I'm not friends with Richard Cranium, I basically said I beat him, and shouted him out for his loss to me :-)

Sometimes they take it seriously, but they shouldn't battle if they do. If your cool with someone, and you agree amongst each other then so be it...

In these leagues your bound to go against friends sometimes.

That's a shame, I think Richard seems like a pretty cool guy to hang out with.
On another note, that video with Tantrum vs Dumbfounddead, they seemed to be good friends in it and I mean it made the experience somewhat more enjoyable.
What are you gonna do when you have to battle a friend and have you become friends with any of the dudes you've battled?

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!"

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?
