There is a great deal of harsh languaged used in the clips that follow, so be advised.

I saw this clip at YouTube ... it's a "rap freestyle throw down" that ends in an actual fight. The clip is around four and a half minutes long ... no need to watch it all, a minute or so will be plenty.

I did watch it all and I was kinda confused about exactly why the "rap freestyle throw down" had ended in a physical altercation.

Then I found this next video, which translates the "straight gangsta flow" into something not quite so "street." Thanks to this clear and adroit translation, the nature of the conflict became readily apparent.

Well, then.

I understand the nature of this "rap freestyle throw down" much better now. Apparently, both of the gentlemen engaged in this debate felt some measure of genuine personal disregard for their opponent.

Pity, really. I'd think that artists who make it their business to "paint with words" would be concerned with expressing themselves on a higher plane than simple brute force. Perhaps a dance-off would have been in order?
