1. Be Original
“First thing you need to know is you have to be original. That’s the first thing and that’s the golden rule.”
“It’s important to be original because that is how you stand out. That is how you make yourself visible amongst this vast sea of other emcees that are out here doing it. There’s so many other people that rap. If you ask anybody, nowadays, they mama rap; they baby daddy cousin rap; the person down a street rap. So what do you do to stand out amongst all these people that rap? Especially in battle rap… you can’t come in sounding like Arsonal. The fans are gonna know. You’ll go nowhere fast. You are not gonna go anywhere if people can’t recognize that style.”
