feel about the crowd gassing up bars? C Low: This sport is all about opinions, so I think fans have the right to like any material. Who’s to say what’s hot? Sean: How often should an emcee battle? C Low: I feel it’s all about opportunities, not how many battles you take. I couldn’t say, but definitely at least six times a year, if it’s just for the love. Sean: There was a post you had online talking about how battle emcees don’t admit to losing. Can you share your thoughts? C Low: Yeah, that’s a good one. I think you can only grow from a loss. When you say you won when it’s clear you didn’t, it makes you look bad, in my opinion. Sean: How did you feel about Total Slaughter and Joe Budden’s performance? C Low: I feel Total Slaughter was good for the culture, but as far as Joe, they could have used a better mic. I think they should of held like auditions or something like that to make it a little bit more interesting. It was just a couple dollars made for someone who actually does reality TV. All in all, salute Eminem; it was good for the culture. Sean: Name a league and emcee that you feel is being slept on? 44 C Low: I feel, as far as rappers, Born is slept on the most and as far as leagues go, I think Queen Of The Ring got killers. The females can definitely keep up with a lot of these dudes that are so-called “Top Tier”. Sean: What do you think of the industry emcees battling? Who would you battle from the industry? C Low: If I chose someone in the industry I would have to say Fabolous. I think that it would be a good battle. He should probably be the best competition out of artists in the industry. Sean: If you could tell the world one thing about yourself what would you say? C Low: One thing about me is I don’t lose and if I do, I’m back like I never did. Sean: Do you have a message you’d like to send to the people? C Low: Follow me on Instagram at Wavy Clayton. Also follow me on Facebook, C Low Clayton. Keep them eyes open. I’m working. Salute all the supporters. — Sean Kirtland
