And to unleash their beef in a verse gives them space to wrestle in the format they are skilled in. Rappers are most skilled, in many cases, when they rap. “Social media rap-pettiness takes away from essentially the sport and import of the battle.” In a perfect segue from the previous topic, the two bring up the topic of the pettiness ever-present in today’s rap beefs.
