Check out what he said below:
“Battle rap is healthy for hip hop. The entire battle scene, the way that it’s thriving right now and how big it’s becoming and everything—it’s great. There’s something to be said about two guys, facing each other and squaring off. But if you take any of those raps and put them on a record, that turns into fighting, for some reason. If I’m battling somebody, I go into the battle knowing that. This person’s gonna say foul shit about me. But when somebody calls somebody out on a record, it’s different. In a battle, people expect it.”
And Hitman Holla and Shotgun Suge continue their rivalry online:
