This January, in 2014 on the
24th & 25th in Toronto Canada
there will be a Blackout on the
King of The Dot (KOTD) stage.
Their 4th one to be exact, and
during this event there will be
18 exciting mysterious grudge
matches between various soldiers
on the rap battlefield. Out of
all the verbal assault match ups
that will occur that weekend,
the most highly anticipated one
will be for the KOTD title shot.
The two gladiators that will
enter this coliseum for a battle
that will lead to the KOTD title
will be Pat Stay VS Dizaster. It
will be the Centaur vs. The Bar
Bearing Barbarian. I actually had
the chance to converse with one
of these two highly recognized
and skilled battlers. Who
might that be? Dizaster. I had
the opportunity to discuss his
upcoming battle With Pat Stay, his
views on the current state of battle
rap, how he got into his rap battle
career, the turns it has taken, and
where it will possibly end up. I
inquired and he answered, here is
what Diz had to say:
Novie Blendz: So, it’s great to get
to speak with you, shall we get
started?
Dizaster: Yeah
Novie Blendz: So you have an
upcoming battle with Pat Stay
for the KOTD Title. What are
your initial thoughts?
Dizaster: Well me and this guy
are definitely going to be like the
Lux vs. Hollow battle but on the
other side of the spectrum. It will
be like the Manny Pacquiao and
Mayweather of the different styles
of battling that we have. It’s like
the same battle happening on the
same weekend its really crazy. The
best part about it is, I feel like me
and Hollow are going to win and
were going to battle after that.
Novie Blendz: Oh , So you want
to battle Hollow Da Don?
Dizaster: Well yeah, like me and
Hollow haven’t really announced
it yet or anything but to be
honest with you it’s always been a
thought, Like we haven’t been all
verbose about it. I mean we both
want to get the best out of the
battle, so it’s pretty interesting that
these two battles are happening
around the same time. Yeah he’s
gonna beat Lux and I’m gonna
beat Pat and get the Chain and
that shits just gonna be crazy.
Novie Blendz: Well everybody –
myself included- feels like when
you write for your battles “its
sick its crazy”. How do you feel
about that statement?
Dizaster: (lol) It’s not even fair
when I write (lol). Because I don’t
do what other rappers do, I don’t
sit down and Fucking formulate
for thousands of hours, like I
really am an Emcee when it comes
to this. Like none of these other
battlers that you see, can do what
I do. There’s maybe two or three
other people maybe, but they
can’t do exactly like I do. Basically,
dizaster
Cover Story
even if you just ambush me like I
will bar you out for like 3 rounds
it doesn’t even matter. I’m not
talking general shit and throw a
ways, everybody has that. But I
have really crazy shit in my head
formulated, so even if someone
comes at me like that I can pull
shit out of thin air about them,
and I mean it will be direct. Just
Like my battle with Cortez, me vs.
Cortez was freestyle vs. Written.
Novie Blendz: I’ve seen that
battle. I definitely have seen that
battle.
Dizaster: And you know I lost
that battle. I don’t think that I
won, but at the end of the day I
walk away from battles like that
feeling happy. That’s because I
feel like it was a good match. I
didn’t feel like I completely lost.
I know in my heart I’ve just held
up with material out of thin air
against a top tier dude who wrote
all his shit a month in advance.
Just as that saying goes,” you look
at the cup as if it’s half full or
half empty”. I look at the cup as
If it’s half full. So yeah that’s juts
pretty much it about that. But
the format that I am the most
dangerous in is the same format in
which I battled DNA, Cannibus
, and Swave Sevah. You see if I
freestyle half of my shit, then
you’re not gonna get any of my
writtens. It’s like your not battling
the best of me, your battling what
I feel like giving you at the time.
People criticize me for it, but
that’s okay. When you get into a
position in which you’re always in
the spotlight, people want to do
that to you, but I’m okay with it
because it’s helping me get better.
