Qleen Paper sits down with Knowledge Tha God for a real conversation about the current state of battle rap culture, why he believes battle rap is not dying, and why some veterans may have simply lost their love for the game. He breaks down how battle rap changed once money got involved, how it stopped being just fun and became a job, and why he still feels the culture is alive. Qleen also speaks on his recent run, staying locked in for a packed year, his thoughts on Rum Nitty, Chess, Arsenal, and the energy around today’s battle rap landscape. The interview also touches on ghostwriting, Aye Verb, the difference between collaboration and having rounds written for you, and how certain allegations can change how the culture views a legend. This is a wide-ranging battle rap talk for fans who care about the culture, the business, and where the game stands today.
