“[Battle rap in big venues] is becoming the new normal. Why Meek Mill couldn’t jump in there with Lil Wayne? It’s so many that could do it. Everybody in Slaughterhouse could do it,” said Lux. “Eminem, come on he’s from that. Let him get a big enough playing field. Em versus Nas, or Em versus Jay – it’s coming.”
According to Lux, the public’s interest in battle rap equals opportunities to make a lot of money, so artists and companies will want to tap into that commercial potential.
“[If] people just stop buying albums, and they start paying just to see battles. What you think the game gonna do?” asked the Harlem native.
