6. Know Your Enemy
“This is for battling or creating a diss record. And it is something that I believe didn’t really come into play until like the SMACK DVD era. Back in the day, you just battled random people that you didn’t know. There wasn’t no Internet. There wasn’t no social media. You didn’t know nothing about nobody for the most part. You just went to random blocks and just battled and people would just bet money. That’s how that was.”
“Now in this day and age, it is easy to know your enemy. You can research somebody that you’re getting ready to battle. You can find out something about them— some type of dirt — you can use as an angle. So it will be wise to know who you’re battling and know something about them. So you can then plan your strategy based on what it is they do or don’t do.”
