That's a cool perspective, and is a good outlook to proceed with and to raise your fanbase. I've listened to Rap since the 80's, but never really experienced the battle side before only through listening to the odd mixtape, though I've actually learnt a lot about diss battles through this whole affair, and it's primarily not malicious like it first seems (obviously, like any competitive arena, some can go there), it's almost like any sporting event, a competition in it's concept. Anyhow, Good luck to you, bro, I really mean that 👍🏻

    Gotta head to work, but I thought I'd say I saw Ren's community post and link to Dotta's track, and I also saw the anti-Dotta disses. My impression (maybe wrong) is that a lot of Renegades are being very protective of Ren, because he's our "sick boi" and must be protected. BUT--Ren is also smart and a lion, having faced the Lyme beast for eight or nine years and come out on top. Ren himself said that he's going to have fun with the whole battle thing. So I think we can expect some interesting twists and turns, in a rollercoaster kind of way. (But there's nothing for the Renegades to worry about.) Already there's a little bit of drama going on, and I'm stoked to see where it goes.

The whole thing seems like it's in good fun, although I can see how with the wrong people involved it could get ugly in a hurry. Ren talks about a rising tide lifting all ships, so I'm sure he'll be on board with this to give Dotta the boost he's after. (But i have to say, Dotta's style of rap is why I never dug beneath the surface of the genre.)

    Not sure how this honors the culture, Ren has soooo much going on right now, mostly with his treatments, and I'm not saying the man can't handle it, he more than can. But being put in a spot where he could look weak if he doesn't make a response track, or look like a douche if he destroys him too heavily, to a rapper that Ren is clearly leaps n bounds out of his league, is like telling the NY Yankees, that if they don't play Ohio's all state little league champs, then they hate kids with cancer. or some shit like that, ya know. That is NOT hip-hop or rap culture.

    @@sunshynff um. So Ren challenged Dotta first. Their banter is out in the open for all to see. Diss tracks predate hip-hop, Muddy Waters and Koko Taylor had some beef back in the day. But hey, y'all should keep taking this ish so personally, acting like DOTTA and Ren are stepping into an actual ring or something. If you're truly a Ren fan, then do your research and get with the program. Unless Ren is secretly a bully, he wouldn't take on anyone he a) didn't see worthy; b) couldn't respect losing to; and c) he uplifts those he respects. Period. Ren and Knox BOTH literally built their very own careers on KZread, just like the majority of these reactor/rappers. Slamming KING DOTTA for the same is futile. Yeah. Ren has had quite a heavy few years, don't you, as a fan, want to see him have some fun? He has a battling background. Ren asked KING DOTTA, publicly, not to drop the diss until after Murderer, DOTTA respected that. As for Knox. I've lost so much respect for him. He put out his diss track, calling out a long list of other yt rappers, none of them responded. Whether Knox meant to mention DOTTA or not, he's the one who slapped back. Freestyling and battling are the foundations of hip hop. Hell, house music started as a way for rappers to flow over beats, when not everyone had the equipment. Culture. When a white Welsh boh gets it more than those who revere him, well....🤷

    ​@@heatherhobbit2931....I never said Ren was a rap god, and I've been into hip-hop heavy just as long if not longer, I was singing Run DMC, Curtis Blow, and The Sugar Hill Gang songs in the shower before the Beasties even hit the scene in ' 82. If you think Ren is emo, much less "overly" emo, I don't think you know what emo is, and I know emo and former emo folks that would be insulted by that analogy...lol. I know what you're referring to with eyeliner and trendy clothes or odd fashion choices he goes with sometimes. That's a little bit just U.K. style that folks from the U.S. sometimes find quirky (I'm assuming you're from the U.S. like me, I shouldn't assume, sorry, correct me if I'm wrong though). Mixed a little with Ren's I don't give a shit what people think attitude. As far as his debut album Freckled Angels, I'm aware of when it came out, while I hadn't discovered him yet at that time, I did start getting into his music and catalog before Hi Ren dropped, and "reactors brought his numbers up" So let set one thing to rest here ok. Yes of course, Hi Ren was a huge success with reactors and they went bat shit over it, because it also brought them huge numbers, do you see what I'm saying there? Of course reactors helped boost Ren's YT numbers, and he's been EXTREMELY grateful to them and shown love by doing interviews and promoting their channels and what not. But lets not get it twisted here, at the very root of Ren blowing up, is the song Hi Ren itself, and the years of brutal pain and psychological mind fuckery he endured to come out the other side and write a song like that. Before finding a career as firefighter/medic, I was in a band, and worked at a sound recording studio part time for years, and music, either making it or producing it for others has remained a hobby of mine. I have seen grown men and women, that are far better musicians than I could ever imagine, people that have intricate knowledge of music theory and at the same time, know what it takes to make a hip hop or rock song, worthy of street level respect by the masses, watch Hi Ren for the first time, not as a reactor, as me showing them, and tear up, or just be so frickin' blown away they can't speak for 5 min. As a paramedic and someone with ptsd, I have shown this video to a plethora of mental health professionals leaving them in tears and/or mouths agape and speechless. With both crowds stating that this song will be studied and dissected in music theory classes and psychology lectures for decades to come. So forgive me if I don't chalk up Ren's success to "just some reactors blowing his shit up" Now while I stated I never said Ren was a rap god, which is true, if you bothered delving into his catalog, he's not just "able to do songs in many genres", they are top tier level songs in each genre he chooses to do them in. On top of that, he has a special place in his heart above most genres in rap and hip hop with tracks that are fire, going back to debut album and all around then. I am not saying he is better or worse than any top main stream rapper out there, I don't like comparisons in the first place. I will tell you this, he is a true student of the genre, he is a true student of the English language, he intimately has studied the genre of all things hip hop, when it comes to making the music, he understands it inside out, the alliterations, how syllables relate to each other, he finds pockets where there is none....that kind of stuff, not to mention his ear for a great beat, which he makes himself! He honors the culture, by staying true to old school hip-hop music, just dressing the part of a hip hop head, DOES NOT honor the culture or make you a good artist. In fact I would argue that hip-hop culture would dictate the opposite, what's become known today as hip-hop "fashion" is just that, fashion bullshit. Hip-hop dictated nothing, it was about blazing your own trail, making beats you couldn't buy at the record store, because the DJ made them up on the fly at the club the night before, ya know. So you can judge your rappers on how emo they are or not, or how crunk, or dope or fly their outfit is, but I'll stick, with judging rappers I like, on their ability to stay true to their craft. And Dotta ain't figured that shit out yet, that is why Ren is out of his league.

    @@heatherhobbit2931 ...Well you apparently are not a true student of hip-hop then if you think the foundation of it was battle rapping. Freestyling yes, and that is the only thing that I know of that Ren challenged first, was to do a live freestyle battle, he did not "challenge" Dotta first, from what I've heard, but I wasn't following that from the beginning. Now I'll give you that battle rap sprung out of hip-hop culture, but it was not the catalyst for hip-hop. Like I said, in my last comment, hip-hop sprung from the ferocious appetite club goers had for the newest and latest beat to listen or dance to, then wanting something new the next week, and DJs starting to use two turn tables and mix beats themselves on the fly, then improvising lyrics, taking a page from the spoken word lyricist of the time shortly before them. I've forgotten more about music and hip-hop than you've ever learned or acquired, so I'm fine on doing my research, thanks anyway. Listen, you can play this who did this or that first, or use the same ol tired line, "you just hatin' on so-n-so because you're on the other guy's tip" NO! I don't do that, and I went to Dotta's page before I listened to a single Dis in any of those involved right now, and I spent almost two hours giving his catalog a very serious fair listen. And one of my earlier responses directly to DOTTA, not behind his back or some shit, I said my peace and didn't think he was in Ren's league, I did say that I thought he had a lot of untapped potential and talent, but that seeking out beefs and battle raps, IMO, weren't working out for him, but did truly wish him all the success he seeks. Also just since you got this wrong too, if you wanna talk about the history of battle rap, it was face to face freestyle, that's how it started, and they shook hands afterwards like gentlemen, even if they refused to, they still looked each other in the eye out of respect. The modern day dis track sprung from REAL BEEFS artists had with each other, real anger, real spite, real insults. Dis tracks were not friendly or respectful or meant to be fun, they were meant to be insulting and put the other person in their place. If DOTTA can't handle the heat, get out the kitchen, and If you can't admit that last part about dis tracks is a fact, or If you think a mid level rapper at best, combing youtube for popping artist to create a beef with from behind their keyboards in order to get clicks is staying true to the culture of hip-hop, then you need to be stripped of your hip-hop head credentials.

Knox: YOWCH! Would not want to be on the receiving end of this. Poor Dotta, I feel bad for him. This is great fun!

    YOU MAKE ME LAUGH!!! :D BTW, I never heard of King Dotta until I watched a video where MichelleShow reacted to Knox Hill's Killshot saying that Knox threw shots at King Dotta. I was like who's King Dotta? I've never heard of him. The line you mentioned had nothing to do with Dotta. It was only mentioned because MichelleShow created an unneeded beef between the two, starting something without it being about that. It caused this entire riff raff beef for no reason whatsoever! If you check the comment section, Knox Hill says that the line in question had nothing to do with Dotta and MichelleShow created unnecessary beef between the two. It was so childish in my opinion. As if they wanted to target Knox Hill for being who he is, and because he's growing as an artist they needed to target him. Like seriously, putting beef in a vegetarian plate without asking for the true sauce, mate! Knox Hill and Ren have killed themselves trying to create content to entertain us and here, there are haters who just want to hate because they think they can and hiding behind a camera and saying whatever because they think they will get noticed, well, you are noticed, and not in a good way! I first discovered Knox Hill when he broke down Killshot and Rap Devil, and since then, I was like totally hooked. Where I would spend hours looking for good content, I didn't do that anymore, I watched his videos because they were entertaining and then I joined his Patron and got to meet him, (not in real life but you know in his lives), he's such an amazing person, like seriously, makes me want to support him more. Then, I bought, Butterfly Effect, and by far, it's my favorite album of the YEAR! Honestly, I'd love to see Eminem and Knox Hill in a collab, honestly! If someone deserves to be signed, it's Knox Hill!

    I don't have an issue with battles. But, dude, this is like a flyweight boxer who believes he can go 3 rounds in the heavyweight division. It's not entertaining, and there's a legitimate reason why it's illegal. When an aspiring rapper can spell Fibonacci sequence, define it, and work it into a rhyme scheme, then they can challenge Ren or Knox, and make it entertaining. Until then, read more books, and remember to change the batteries in your smoke detector.

    I really enjoyed this review of the 2 "Diss" raps! From my perspective, I loved how Knox used the Stan stalker persona to deliver his diss, clever! I'm coming from an angle of only seeing battles in 8 Mile and The Voice! That is, zero expertise. I get your 50 Cents story, it truly is the game! The Money Game if you will. In non-music arena's, we see it in boxing re-matches. Even in my comfort zone music genres, UK had Blur v Oasis spat, turned out a win win for both bands. You could loosely say the same for Neil Young's Southern Man, answered by Lynyrd Skynyrd's second verse of Sweet Home Alabama dissing Neil for having the temerity to expose America's deep south links to slavery. BTW I get your "fence sitting" awaiting a Ren response, should it come!
