There are really only two types of rappers: those who battle and those who don't. This month, those who find themselves in Detroit have the chance to marvel at the skillful stylings of the former (known to some as "the thinkin' man's rappers").
On January 15, Grind Time Now--the largest rap battle league in the whole wide world--is holding a battle at the Shelter in Detroit. The line-up includes Al Jones, Cliffnote, X Factor, H.I., Hatch, Times, Mahdie, Mic Phelps, Celph Centered, Rave, and Doc Waffles, who has been on the battle scene since the late 1900s.
Participating rappers will be judged by (or maybe just graced by the presence of) the likes of Royce da 5'9", some dudes from D-12, Slum Village, WJLB and more.
Tickets are only ten bucks...Mom's spaghetti!
