Ever heard the theory that battlers can’t make good
music??
If you answered no, guess what? Most of them can’t.
If you happened to tune into ThisIs50.com you’ll see
what he haves to say, but what I say is it depends on
what you’re looking for. Most artists have a specific
style they like to stick with. Whether it’s expanded
or just basic rhyming some people just don’t sound
good on beat. They say battlers are the most creative
with words and have the Best Barz out now. Some
just can’t transition to a rhythm behind it and make it
sound good.
What makes Battlers Strong in Battling and Not
Great Song Writers

For one the opportunity to stretch flip and say what
you want without having to keep to a specific pace or
rhythm. Battlers usually have more of a talk to them
feel rather than rhythm flow, the speed ups, pauses,
on point delivery and freedom to breakdown anything
with no instruments to get in tune with.
Some battlers are too complex to convert to popular
commercial recording. When you’re a Battler you
know what you say is worth more than anything else.
As a Song Maker you know how you say it is worth
more than anything. Meaning that flows on Beat are
different from off beat because it’s set up.
Battlers set up Barz to emphasize on specific breakdowns and viewpoints while a song writer might
emphasize less on what is said and more on how its
said.
