Aries expressed his distaste for British rappers, while Vlad appreciates the diversity they bring. They also touched upon UK and Russian rap scenes, showing their interest in how each region's identity shapes its music. Aries and Vlad concluded their discussion by examining the difference between battle rappers and those who produce albums, noting that the two rarely find success in the other's domain. They speculated about what would happen if established rappers like Jay-Z, Nas, and Eminem were to battle rap against each other.
