RE: Steemit Battle League... Pay Out Per Battle. ACCEPTING APPLICANTS TO PARTICIPATE

in #busy7 years ago

It is an element that is getting lost in the shuffle. Young bloods see me as some sort of old wizard because I can freestyle on topics etc. Yet they don't see it as a challenge to their skills or their status as an emcee.

I knew when I was coming up and I had some decent writtens and went to a cypher... I took three steps back because there were some dope freestylers in that cypher and they made me look like a toy.

I spent a year practicing daily because I knew that I had to be able to freestyle to 'pass' as a legitimate emcee who is working to master his craft.

Sort:  

Not sure how that prerequisite disappeared... maybe cats nowadays can getaway with avoiding the face to face cypher and getting their skills shamed.
