I aint no battle rapper, my brains not quick enough to hold it up in that kind of situation, but that's not to say it cant be taught how to! I have battled in the past but only with friends so its not like I cant do it, more im rusty at it. Freestylings like playing football …If you aint played it in a couple years your gonna be shit at it. So you try recording a debut LP that was as critically acclaimed as mine and still be head fresh enough to freestyle when put on the spot. I have problems remembering my written shit so how the fuck am I gonna be able to prepare for a tour, rehearse brand new routines with Killa Kela and battle some wannabe rapper when I'm walking out of the venue with my suitcase straight after my Preston show? …I tell you how.
Battle rapping is an art, and the beauty of it is when it is completely off the cuff when someone is put under pressure. If you put someone like me under that kind of pressure and you aint a bad ass battler …Your gonna get merked even if I when it does come to it …I am just a rusty mother fucker!
If this blog makes no sense, don't worry …There will be a clip on youtube that will make it all pretty easy to understand.
On a different note …This is the first time my band have used a sleeper bus for a tour. It's a grade 'B' opposed to grade 'A' but its still a cool bus. Its got a kitchen area and a toilet as well as bunk beds and a lounge. The VCR's a bit old school and there is the occasional weird smell that appears now and again which I think is the septic tank but its ten times better than the tiny little splitter bus we had before. All will be revealed on the tours video blogs coming soon.
