Sean Kirtland: Is there any advice iBattle can offer to anyone wanting to start their own league? Logic: Don’t! (Logic laughs) No available at http://www. ibattlemerch.spreadshirt.com; for all updates, follow us on Twitter “@iBattleWW” and “@ iBattlePromo”. Like us on FB: http://www.facebook.com/ iBattleWW and Instagram: iBattleWW. Sean Kirtland: Is there anything that ibattle would like to change about the culture? Logic: Politics, fickle fans and the sucker s**t. if you love this s**t do it. If you think this is just a get-rich-quick scheme or, “I promote rap shows. I can do this.” or any other bulls**t reason to do this, just don’t. You have no business doing this. You have to have a relationship with battle rap before starting a league. You need to understand it. If you feel you do, then the only advice I have is, “remember, this is a selfless job” and “focus on your love for this”. That will be the only way you will not either give up or kill people. (Logic laughs) Sean Kirtland: What is the message iBattle would like to send to the battle rap community?
