Conceited Discusses Battle Rap Becoming a Mockery

Conceited shared his thoughts on the upcoming battles between Keith Murray vs. Fredro Starr, and Bone Crusher vs. Mike Jones, in this clip from his exclusive interview with VladTV Battle Rap Journalist Michael Hughes.

Con began by listing the mainstream artists he would be willing to battle, or those who he feels could make a successful transition into the sport in general. He also provided his thoughts on the possible battle between Murda Mook vs. Drake in the near future, and whether or not Drake can display the same level of lyrical talent in a battle in the way that he has successfully done so for years over a beat.

When talking about MC War's upcoming card that features Fredro Starr, Keith Murray, Bone Crusher, and Mike Jones, Conceited stated that he thinks that all of the matchups are interesting, and he is eager to see if they turn out to be classics or unfortunate flops. He later discussed the views of Arsonal, Okwerdz, and John John Da Don, who believe that Battle Rap should value quality over quantity and not become a "mockery" by allowing any MC to battle. Con agreed that the sport should stick to catering to true lyrical talent, rather than just grabbing any big name who is willing to battle for a significant check.
