In this post-event interview, A. Ward speaks candidly and from the heart about legacy, competition, and respect in battle rap — starting with what Murda Mook represents to the culture.
A. Ward explains why Mook’s name still carries weight, what true competition looks like at the highest level, and how respect between elite battlers doesn’t erase the hunger to compete — it sharpens it.
The conversation also touches on a popular hip-hop debate: Fabolous vs Lloyd Banks, and whether mainstream lyricists would truly translate in a battle rap environment. A. Ward breaks down cadence, word structure, angles, and why battle rap demands a different level of mental pressure.
This isn’t about controversy or headlines — it’s about legacy, respect, and the mindset of a real competitor.
