KLUTZ says YouTube drops and a new generation of superstars could be the key to rebuilding battle rap’s momentum.
After facing Chef Trez at URL Civil War, Klutz breaks down their battle and explains what the culture is missing.
Fresh off his battle with Chef Trez, Klutz sits down with Knowledge Tha God of HipHopIsReal for an honest recap of their three-round clash.
Klutz believes he clearly won the second round, may have edged the first and gives Chef Trez credit for potentially taking the third based on the energy inside the building. He also reacts to Chef Trez opening a round with nearly 10 rebuttals and explains why Trez’s pen, consistency and calculated approach remain underrated.
The conversation then turns to the current state of battle rap. Klutz says the culture is searching for new leaders and legitimate superstars who can carry major events beyond the names fans have watched for the past 15 to 20 years.
Klutz also explains why the transition to the app era created a reset for battle rap’s visibility—and why dropping more battles on YouTube could be the quickest way to create new stars and bring more fans back into the culture.
