Well I already have speakers and an audio interface... I literally just brought a DJ Controller and software. The controller i brought was a mixtrack pro and cost me £150 and I'm using Traktor £80 (I prefer this to Serato). I had to re map some of the controls to allow me to do what I have in my head! I have the bug at the moment! I'm getting some more stuff!
Here is a pic of the mixer and Traktor:
A lot of the guys who are top tier in this particular league put out some great tracks... but only a few of them!! The general consensus is that battle rappers shouldn't make music! On the whole I think that is true...
This match up has been planned for months so they each had plenty of time to prepare... Bis should have been writing and practising from the second it got announced. I agree with Visqo though you need to have some degree of freestyle ability to stand a chance in these leagues. There is a big emphasis on flips and rebuttles regarding what your opponent has just said. if you can freestyle, this should not be a problem for you. Diz demonstrated that in this battle. Also... if you choke (as Canibus repeatedly did) you can at least freestyle your way out of it!
Yup.... I would recommend you check out more of Dizasters battles... He is a beast.. He dominates any battle he's in. You'll get to appreciate his style more
You guys may have remembered a post I made about battle rap and some of my favourites who are doing it at the moment ()
Well I also posted the announcement that Canibus would take part in his first live battle against Dizaster (well established battle rapper from KOTD)... The battle happened.... And Canibus has more or less ended whatever career he had... It was painful and awkward to watch as Canibus got annihilated by Diz. Bis was obviously under prepared and did not realise the force Diz would come with.. just goes to show that battling on tracks and battling live is two COMPLETELY different things.
Canibus is getting ripped at the moment big time. Take a look at the footage!!
