I feel as if it was unfair of you to delete Syke OC's thread about Bay Area beef's. He was simply asking us to help him with a mixtape that he's putting together containing some of Bay Area's diss tracks. In no way was he hyping up beefs or starting rumors. Batteling is one of the elements that helped create hip hop in the first place. Early rap diss tracks such as KRS ONE's 'The Bridge is Over' to the more recent 'Hit'em Up' by 2pac and 'ETHER' by Nas are some of hip hop's most memorable tracks. Why should we not be allowed to discuss Bay Area's history of battles? Avoiding this subject would be avoiding a big part of the rap culture, and afterall this message board is meant to discuss Bay Area RAP. Isn't it?
