History
There is a historical tradition of poetic contempt exchanges in Japan, Inuit, Arabic, culture and even "flying" Scotland. The origins of the rap battle have been traced back to Mohammed Ali's boxer in the 1960s, with rhythmic garbage talking before and after the fight, as well as his word album I Am the Greatest.
The rap battle is generally believed to have started in the East Coast hip hop scene in the late 1980s. One of the earliest and most famous battles occurred in December 1982 when Kool Moe Dee challenged Busy Bee Starski - The failure of Busy Bee Starski by the more complicated rap of Kool Moe Dee meant that "no longer a MC just comedians who delight the crowd with tongues slick, he's a commentator and a storyteller "thus, making the old fashioned format of Busy obsolete, in favor of the more recent styles that KRS-One also considers as creating a shift in tapping in the documentary Beef .
In the 1980s, warfare was a popular form of rap - Big Daddy Kane in How to Rap says, "as an MC of the 80s, your mentality really is a battle format... the focus is to have hot poems if you have to fight with someone... not really making rhymes for a song ". The fighting of war is sometimes still closely related to old school hip-hop - talking about rap fights, Esoteric says, "a lot of my stuff comes from old school hip-hop, braggadocio ethics".
Some of the most notable battles that occurred in the notes are listed in the book, Book List of ego rap, , and include battles like Roxanne Wars (1984-1985), Juice Crew vs. Boogie Down Productions (1986-1988), Kool Moe Dee vs. LL Cool J (1987-1991), MC Serch vs. MC Hammer (1989-1994), Dr. Dre & amp; Snoop Dogg vs. Luke (1992-1993), common vs. Ice Cube (1994-1996), MC Pervis & amp; Brand New Habits and LL Cool J vs. Canibus (1997-1998) - all of which included a memorable combat rap poem.
From the late 1990s to the late 2000s, freestyle rap became very popular, with many artists getting attention for new styles, charisma, and smart punchlines in combat such as Scribble Jam and Rocksteady. This battle is usually three turns for each, and the MC will switch alternately while tapping the older rap instrument. The rap battle is growing at the moment, showing underground rap scenes and exposing some of the most respected freestyle fighters of all time, including Juice, Eyedea, Sage Francis and P.E.A.C.E.
Following a freestyle revival that fought in the 21st century, the competition began to move to TV shows featured on HBO, BET, and MTV. In addition, Eminem's <8 Mile movie introduces a fantasy version of a freestyle battle to mainstream movie viewers, as the rap was written before with many reviews.
Finally, the rap battle moved into the format that is now the main form of rap battle, in which two emcees fight against each other without defeating, trafficking previously-written verses in a three-round battle. The impromptu aspect of combat still exists in the form of rebuttal, which is a short rhyme (usually at the beginning of a verse) where a presenter comments on something about their on-the-spot opponent (for example, making fun of the shirts they wear), or responding something their opponents said during the previous round. Though not as prominent as ever, the art of refuting is still revered by many as difficult to do right, and the sign of a complete host.

Type of battle
A free style battle is a contest in which two or more rappers compete or battle with each other using improvisational lyrics. Each competitor's goal is to 'silence' their opponent through intelligent lyrics. When hip-hop flourished in the early 1980s, MC gained their fame through direct fight with other MCs. Freestyle battles can happen anywhere: street corners, on stage at concerts, at school or even online. The idea of ​​a poetic battle like that, or a fight, has a long history that can be found in poetry genres like Haikai and flyting.
Direct audiences are essential for combat because each Emcee (MC) must use his lyrical skills and abilities to not only 'destroy' his opponent, but to convince the audience that they are better rappers. The designated judge has been used in formal contests, but even when no winners are announced, the rapper who receives the best audience response is seen as the winner. In addition, it is considered by some to be an act of disrespect for reading raps that are written and remembered in freestyle battles, as this shows the rapper unable to spit out the elongated lyrics. Today, talents like Hollow Da Don use various elements of a rap battle that includes reading a written format created through months of preparation mixed with a freestyled line as a means of attacking his opponent or creating his image as a bigger enemy. It is presented in his battle vs. Tay Roc in the main event of the Ultimate Rap League "Summer Madness 6", a battle that the general consensus believes that Hollow Da Don runs away from in the main event of Victory Summer 6. Fellow battle rap peer Conceited has made a name for himself in this field as well as a more popular version of the competitive rap on the television platform. While he takes a more funny approach to his opponent, he still performs with the intention of winning the contest.

This group partially works to encourage competition and partly to improve communal aspects of rap battles. This password is known for "making or breaking reputation in the hip hop community; if you can get into your password and tell your story, show your uniqueness, you may be more welcome." These groups also serve as a way to message about the style and knowledge of hip-hop to spread, word of mouth and encourage trends in other combat.
