Immortal Technique continued his in depth interview with Battle Rap journalist Michael Hughes at the VladTV headquarters, this time discussing the presence of gang affiliations in Battle Rap. Technique addressed the topic, but instead of focusing on the negative associations that most people might focus on, he talked about the positive influence that Battle Rap has on thwarting gang violence.
There have been many events where members of various gangs have stood face-to-face spitting disrespectful lyrics about the one another's set that they claim, without any immediate or post-battle violence occurring. Immortal Technique feels as though Battle Rap does a far better job uniting people of different backgrounds and gang associations than the actual United States government does.
How do you feel about the influence Battle Rap has on maintaining peaceful relations between members of opposing gangs?
