If you're not familiar with battle rap, here's a series that will somewhat catch you up on the underground FIRE that's been happening in these streets. Okwerdz(@Okwerdz on Twitter) here has been battling for years, but the battles I will be referring to in this series start with the organizations Grind Time, King Of The Dot, and URL(Smack).
Okwerdz is a California native who's style is very aggressive. He is, in my opinion, one of the top 10 battlers out currently. He has clever metaphors, and combined with the aggressive delivery in most of his battles, he makes for a tough opponent because he wins the crowd over fairly easily. Here are some lines and battles that are a must see that include Okwerdz:
Okwerdz Vs. Arsonal
"You spit the same verse every time I see you on cameras yappin/ You'll prally use the same shit against me, cause when this faggot's rappin/ He recycles more than fuckin Captain Planet!"Okwerdz. v. Hollow Da Don
"Now Hollow there's this question I been meanin to actually ask you....If you put an intercom, in a generator...what exactly would that do?"
Okwerdz v. T-Rex
"Accordin to fossils that they're diggin/ Tyrannosaurus has more in common with an ostrich or a chicken/ So when he's duckin me, he's just followin tradition/ Cause the T-Rex eventually evolves into a chicken!"
These are what I consider his main battles. He has some dope two on two battles that are more recent with Dizaster (another battler I'll feature) that are worthy of checking out, so go to Youtube and search around. Oh yeah if you disagree that he's top ten please send me a list of 9 better battle rappers and I'll gladly debate with you. Battling is a very entertaining art to watch, and if you search around it will come(maybe as a shock) to the light that West coast battlers are the best. Keep checkin us out as I'll be doing multiple updates regarding the better battle rappers. Again, if you enjoyed the post, follow Okwerdz @Okwerdz on Twitter and me @breyboy11. Thanks for all the support (2K views in two months!) and keep fuckin with us
I'm Out,
Brey
