When you are bkessed with the Return of Battle Rhymes and Lyrics after the recent [loss of really good lyrics] in my opinion, hip-hop has seen a shift towards catchy hooks and repetitive melodies, often overshadowing the importance of intricate wordplay and lyrical prowess.

It was a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminding us of the essence of hip-hop and why we fell in love with it in the first place.


Then we have the lyrical Sparring and TKO's! Clearly the battle between The Lox and Dipset was nothing short of a lyrical slugfest. Each group brought their A-game, delivering punchlines and metaphors that left the audience in awe.



The back-and-forth banter between the two crews was not only entertaining but also showcased the competitive spirit that has always been a part of hip-hop culture. It was like watching a heavyweight boxing match, with each punchline landing harder than the last.


The TKO's were aplenty, as both groups left no stone unturned in their quest for lyrical dominance.
