“No back and forth corny records, we can put it on this feed for the world to see”

Once again it’s ON in the hip hop fraternity and this time…..It’s some real classic hip hop battle.

Two of the best lyricists of all time (arguably), have agreed to a rap battle challenge and no, it ain’t beef! It’s just a battle challenge and it’s for a good course.

Yasiin Bey, better known by his former stage name Mos Def, uploaded a video on social networks, challenging any rapper who think he’s dope enough to run with the real G’s to a real rap battle and not some gimmick ish.

“Me, Black Thought and King Los versus anybody, errbody, battle anybody, I don’t care who you tell.”

Mos Def mentioned that a million dollars is on the table for charity and the winner will also get his. The Brooklyn lyricist emphasized that dudes need to stop thinking they’re dope and should sit down and relax. He further went on to say that; “just because you’re cool, don’t mean that you dope”.

This for me will be one of the biggest and classic rap battles we ever gonna witness in recent years of new skool hip hop. This definitely takes us back to the core values and objectives of hip hop as a culture. Spoken word, rap artists ripping the mic, showcasing their skills, murking each other lyrically and lyrical competence for entertainment, but most importantly, for the greater good of our people...Respect.
