A few months ago, quite by chance, I stumbled across a hip hop battle night at one of my locals.
The standard was highly variable but a handful of top MCs had me pissing myself. Odd thing is, ain't many Battles in town and some people I'd spoken to had driven for hours to be there.
So, on to the point: relative merits of battling vs freestyling to showcase an MC's skills. If you're a good battler will you automatically be a good freestyler?
N.B. one geezer tried to get me on stage but I'm literally tongued-tied so suck at this stuff.
