was a little over hyped on his part.
People don’t bring up the fact that
I had a rebuttal for everything he
said, with multiple syllables, and
some crazy ass shit.
Novie Blendz: (interjects) See
that’s what I was about to say
to you, Like his 3rd was good,
but I give you credit on when
you came back, because you got
crazy, like you snapped on him
with your rebuttal.
Dizaster: Yeah, because it was like
“you want to talk about my father,
let’s talk about your father”, and
the best part about it was, that
all of the stuff that I was talking
about was real shit. I’m dissing
him about real things that he’s
talked about in his songs. I was
on stage like really picking at him!
When I was talking about him
getting chased through a parking
lot, then saying “I wasn’t running,
I was just walking fast”. I’m really
dissing your manhood though. All
of what he was saying had nothing
to do with dissing me. That’s the
ending topic here he never said
anything that was offensive or
disrespectful to me. Like at the
ending of his first round he didn’t
even get to a punch line, he said
something like “Rake …..and a
when the Condom Break”. Do
you understand, if I said that line
it would of killed me, they would
have murdered me if I said that
line, I would’ve been crucified If
I would’ve said that. But if you
watch it again after I’ve talked to
you, like the crowd was thirsty
for materials from him, like they
were actually reaching, they really
wanted to react to him. Especially
in that part where he was like
“Palm trees Cruising by….. Gettin
High, Bitches Hi”. That was his
punch line. His punch line was
bitches say hi to him when he
comes to California. And it’s a
cool stylistic punch line, when you
judge it. Like I’m a real dude, I’m
not a biased dude when it comes
to judging, like I told you I know
I lost to Cortez. In a battle if I
lose or I don’t feel like I’ve won
I’m going to admit it. I’m not
that dude who’s going to act like
he won when he lost. Like with
Arsonal, I’m not going to be like
him and go online and front like
I didn’t get murdered if I’ve lost.
Look at how Arsonal was saying
stuff like “I went out to the Lou
and Killed that Hit Man” (in
Arsonal’s Voice). Nope! No you
didn’t Arsonal Hit Man murdered
you! I mean none of these guys
will ever have the balls to say, you
know what? I didn’t do to good
in that battle. I mean, there has
to be a point, I would never sit
there and Lie on myself and say
that I’ve won if I haven’t. I really
judge it like a fan. I mean I stop
watching as if it’s me, and I start
criticizing my own shit. I really
watch them from outside of the
bubble. On the other hand, I don’t
get mad if people say that Aye
Verb beat me, because he had a
cleaner performance than I did.
Even if your material is better than
your opponents, if you stumble
and someone else memorizes their
lines, and recite it like a song, they
come out of it looking better. I
mean it gives the person with the
smoother performance the ability
to argue that they’ve won. Yet
again, it is not really about that,
it’s about dissing your opponent.
Battling needs to go back to its
roots, you have to take something
that someone has said about you
flip it and slap it back at them.
Back in the day if someone did
that to you it was over! The
moment someone said something
about you, you had to rebuttal it.
The chances of coming back from
that were almost nothing unless
you rebuttal with a rebuttal. That’s
what battling was founded on. If
somebody flips back what you’re
saying, then they win because they
were talented enough to do it and
you’re not!
Novie Blendz: Exactly, and
that brings me to my next
question, how do you feel that
the culture’s going? Is there too
many “Divas”, is because some
people are staying away from
freestyling?
Dizaster: Yeah, it’s not just that ,
its growing in a wrong direction. I
mean its good because its growing
as a culture, yes. But it doesn’t
always mean that its good growth.
You can experience growth but in
a wrong direction. In our case it’s
getting watered down, and rappers
imitate other rappers. I mean
aren’t you sick of seeing it? This
does happen a lot with the street
battlers, more than other type
of battlers. I mean during Grind
Time days there were like a bunch
of mark ass robot battlers that
were like, “Whe
