People have stopped battling in hip hop, in the primitive sense, and the focus of the competitive element has shifted to the music. It's less about bragging and more about being the best lyrically and poetically.
Nas
Sunlight and seeing something that was a thought become a thing and materialize - that makes me come alive.
