Rap Battle!!! Always Dope @ Red Maple 3/10/10
Attended, for the first time, Always Dope with GutterMag on Tuesday night which turned into quite an epic night.
Before Tuesday night my idea of a Rap Battle was unfortunately 8-mile, after… Always Dope @ Red Maple. On this particular night we had Midas (who was making a return after a hiatus to work on his own music) and A-Class. It’s tough for me to even be critical of either of them because what they do is something I could never do well, even if I practiced, but when it came down to it Midas just seemed more spontaneous and theatric whereas A-Class came across as somewhat scripted. However, I was pretty blown away by both, and after witnessing 2 rounds and an overtime of this, I didn’t want it to stop, I could have listened to both of them all night long.
You would think an atmosphere like this could be a little obnoxious and egotistical, but this was completely the opposite and it turned Red Maple into an entirely new scene. Despite slinging mudd at each other for 30 minutes, the contenders and the crowd were just having a good time. Plus there is a great mix of people that you probably won’t see anywhere else in bmore on a Tuesday night.

I seen this battle but I have to give it up to A-class during this rap battle. He’s got some heart for taking this rap opponent seriously because I couldn’t keep rapping if that dude was talking to me like that it’s quite sickening. Rap ain’t the way it use to be. well anyways read my article on this rap battle and leave a comment just go to to the wnnnn
