Identity in battlerap‘’Without identitiy you are nothing, you will be nothing and you will remembered as nothing. ‘’The greatest struggle in a conformist society, and the pressures of conformism it breathes into all stratas of society and even into its subcultures, is to carve out your own identity, expressing it, and having the fortitude to stick with it no matter what forces bear down upon you to conform and forgo yourself. The quickest death is not having one of your own. Longevity obeys no other master. How you choose to define yourself and project your identity is one of the most conflicting things one has to do as there are temptations all round, the most potent one is that of success. When you see success, your very nature orders you to emulate it. Even at the expense of your identity. Your weakness will tell you that you have to be someone else to be great, while your strength tells you all you need is yourself.You can see this with Smack. Ninety percent of these pg rappers that we see on the channel nowadays follow a formula. A pre-established formula that saw some success. The breaking the bars down, the stretching words, forced wordplay, schemes, ie the Tsu Surf formula. Che - e – se, I said cheese nigga ! But whereas Surf didn’t use it for a whole round, these pg niggas imbue the whole verse with this tiresome style. As a result, they lack a distinct identity, I can’t tell one from the other. All I know is Tsu Surf, and the fact, a year ago, these battles would not have been released on the URL channel, an elitism necessary for quality. So why are they being released now ? The intense desire to replicate success; and identity becomes the first and biggest casualty, just as truth in war - and it is one of miscalculation.The URL wants to have on its hands a new Hitman, a new Surf, a new Calicoe, Verb, Math Hoffa, and so put out all and sundry in the hope that the fans gravitate towards the pg rapper, any of them. It reeks of desperation. Looking at the clones, I think they are satisfied even if they can get a million Tsu Surfs rather than rappers with their own uniqueness and individuality, which goes against the identity sought to cultivate which is authencity and elitism. The double edged sword of success. Empires are torn down by the same ones that built them. And it’s not just counterproductive for the league. It is so for the rappers themselves. They mold themselves into a certain archetype instead of attuning their own individuality and expressing it. Without crafting your own identity you will never have the same status, legacy and longevity. The names of clones are never remembered, the names of the original that birthed them are. It would be wise to remember that.This rot started with John john and instead of stopping it, it was promoted. The plague has spread ever since. This same goes for female battlerap which is suffering from the crippling debilitating poison of unoriginality in its most extreme moreso than any other subsection of battlerap. The whole female roster let alone leagues bar two or three rappers is equivalent to the pg clones spitting shit top tier said in 2005.‘’ when im squeezin this chrome pistol, it will leave o red, what i got in my arsonal wont miss you '’ Released July 3rd 2014This was said by Couture against Official and got a lot of noise in that room in the form of reaction and she was rewarded with a spot on Snoop’s Gladiator School (Is a cheesier name even possible ?) - I turned that shit off right after I heard that. How many times you heard a Jersey scheme said already ? And this was said by a top bitch in Queen of the Ring. It’s different but the same, the strive for identity and legacy when it comes to female battlerappers and pg rappers. No culture, main or sub, is independent of society and the dominant views that pervade it. There is a doubt whether women have the same genius as men, despite the superficial push for equality. They have to prove themselves before they can be acknowledged as equals. Women have to pull down barriers of prejudice of female inferiority that these pg rappers don’t and it leads to attacks on their sex, excerbating and even justifying prejudices when they copy the men already seen as superior because of chromosome.Guys duplicate guys all the time, but when women wish to be seen on equal terms as guys but create nothing and continously take a creation a man came up with, and run with it, it’s an exercise in self defeatism and it becomes hard to see them on an equal ground and their desires for equal status being realised at all. Jaz the rapper with her my gun so big bars is guilty the most in this. Her last battle which was so lauded, had a myriad of imitations and indolent, misguided mimicry; from Hitman type enanactments to attain the mystery quality of having ‘performance’ - because if you don’t rap like Hitman have no performance ! - to the aforementioned gun so big trend - because you’re not part of the clique if you don’t have at least one ‘I got a gun so big’ bar ! - to actually taking their bars – her 22/cougar bar she took from Nuborn who spit that against Ms Tash, just like Bonnie Godiva took the ‘real dick is something you have to deal with’ interpolation for her much heralded battle with Young Gattas, which even if he patronised you doesn’t make it any less of an appropriation - to rapping like these URL niggas, the same styles, as if she studied how to be an URL battlerapper 101, because she wants to be like them instead of having her own identity as a female in a man’s world, let alone as an individual battlerapper in the battlerap world. If your biggest and best rappers copy the males and not as good, instead of creating something new, what hope do you have of getting the same respect they do ? You cannot copy respect. You have to build it yourself. Excuse my focusing on female battlerap when expounding on unoriginality and identity in battlerap but women bashing is dumb fun. Perhaps the fact they have to bear with unfair prejudices created a complex that makes them tolerate and even laud clones. Instead of rapping like women, or individuals, they rap like their male counterparts down to the schemes, styles and even taking the exact wordplay. In other words, recycle and bite. The fact that females don’t even rap like females let alone individuals makes their lack of identity even more circumspect and intolerable. The male battlerappers are looking for pussy so they look the other way. Case in point: About a month ago Showoff raved and raptured about a gifted/presence bar – that jaz also is guilty of taking, but people curiously glossed over that, something that conceited said in 2009 – a gifted presence bar that Ms Miami said. He said it was crazy and I ridiculed it a little and said he was just looking for pussy and not being real. I didn’t even know that he was so sensitive until recently when I found out he blocked me for it.Female battlerappers, these niggas are not your friends and doing you no type of favours. They gassing you up for their own designs and the funny thing is they believe it. Female battlerap fans don’t watch battlerap like that so they wouldn’t know and the male fans are a sucker for a pretty face and soft in general so allowances are made for things that would not have been tolerated if said by a male battlerapper. There’s many forces at work holding female battlerap back and I can’t see no way out for them out this malaise of mediocrity when their closest friends are their greatest enemies. Trying to replicate instead of creating your own identity is never a good idea. Especially not if you want respect and parity. That goes for all rappers, males and females, and the leagues themselves. KOTD is sailing over treacherous jagged rocks quick to turn a peaceful, prosperous voyage into a watery, bottomless grave and early demise. They have just announced the ‘postponement’ of World Domination because of over saturation. Meaning, they don’t have the roster to create a credible event worthy of the World Domination tradition. Smack battlers got too many battles on other leagues. How long do you think we will have to wait till we lament KOTD rappers being so popular that they are booking too many battles in other leagues ? Till hell freezes over. When KOTD started, it has its own identity. With Kid twist, Hollohan, Pat Stay, they had a roster of genuine talent, with jokes taking precedence over gun bars. But because they saw how the wind was blowing, this jokes over bars became inverted, and it became bars over jokes. Right now, they’re pushing the likes of Tycoon Tax, a second rate street rapper. Maybe it was the fated Cortez with what he did to Hollohan in that chilling third round that ushered in this inversion, but the postponement of World Dom made it come full circle.When your have your identity instead of comprising it, you have your own fanbase, a core fanbase that are loyal, like QOTR or URL, and you can build off that, not just longevity, but respect too and even monopolies. Don’t Flop is seemingly the only big league that is sticking to its roots, but still with a good balance, with a caustic, sarcastic comedy rappers like Shuffle T and Marlo with Ogmios, Harry Baker, and Soweto Kinch ( Harry and Soweto had one of the funniest best battles in history, and top 3 last year), and they have the lyricists too like Tony D, Cee Major, Dialect etc. They have a real identity, providing variety and choice, not just in their own league, but for battlerap as a whole and thereby their status is cemented. Now when you want to watch a battle that has no gun bars, the only place where you can find that is Don’t Flop. It used to be that you could find that on Grindtime and KOTD and then Don’t Flop. No more. Now we have a monopoly rather than a plurality that is necessary for the health of the market, and the culture.When you think KOTD, you think of Smack rappers. That’s not good for a league that’s not Smack. Not only Smack rappers, but a lesser calibre of Smack rappers, not as good on KOTD as they are on URL. This means that no one will lose any sleep if KOTD folds today because they won’t miss anything they can get elsewhere, in a better form. No amount of that hypocrite Organik’s distasteful rants can change the fact that he is guilty of what he is accusing other leagues of, namely, booking the same rappers everyone else is, Smack rappers that is, and that KOTD’s identity has been eroded the same as Freshcoast’s, such a shame considering their illustrious history, in face of the juggernaut that is Smack and bars over jokes. Cassidy vs Dizaster is another example of the pitiful loss of identity inflicting Freshcoast and battlerap as a whole. You went from Nocando vs Dizaster to Cassidy vs Dizaster. That’s the battle book with the money you have behind you ? The new blood coming up, given shine, Rum Nitty, Danny Myers, Young B, what are they ? Street rappers. All that signifies is the direction they are headed, the choice they made, to supplant the identity they had with the dominant most popular identity out, the URL identity. Loss of identity means everything becomes the same. When everything becomes the same, you lose individuality. In the culture of hiphop, individuality is supreme. To an art that is supposedly keeping the culture of hiphop alive, the purest form, this is the beginning of the end. The incorporation of its antithesis, means you’re not carrying the torch anymore for you can’t go against a central tenet and still maintain credibility. If it’s really about the culture, this trend of imitation must be reversed or else it will befall the same fate mainstream hiphop has suffered for the past 15 years. And it would be a pity if it were to go that way.Hylas Maliki
