“Watered down bars...is something we gotta deal with.” That appears to be the case as of late. We seem to have entered the phase that most musical genres tend to fall into seamlessly. The watering down of content. An absolute downgrade to the very aspect we love about battle rap. The bars themselves. I suppose pointing itchy trigger fingers would be the easiest way to go about addressing this, but what would even remotely be the fucking point? All that would do is give more people time to put on their judgemental snapbacks, state what they state and ride off on their high horse to whatever shitty cloud they can float on. Think back...in fact, go on youtube and look at the battles
of old. And by old I mean 2 years ago. Which may as well be 2 decades ago in battle time. The lyrical difference is there. Lyricism seems to have taken a large nosedive into the ocean of mediocrity at an alarming rate. The once all around quotable battles of old are the ones that bring us a state of nostalgia in an age of stagnant battles that are as good as the shit you scrape off of y ????????M????$??????????????????????????????????????????????? ????e????????????1??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????$????????????????????????????$??????q??????????t?((??((0
