BattleRap.com caught up with Math Hoffa following the conclusion of the monumental Total Slaughter battle event, and got him to share his thoughts on this historical night in Battle Rap history.  

Math gave praise to Joe Budden for having the courage to step in the ring, although he wasn't fond of him using the microphone throughout the battle, and he also gave praise to Shady Records for supporting the culture.

"I think this was a wonderful event for Battle Rap to grow even further," Math said. "Shout out to Joe Budden for jumping into the ring. Shout out to Shady Records. Shout out to the whole Slaughterhouse for just putting everything together. This has been a humongous look for Battle Rap. Now, the battles tonight, crazy. Crazy. A lot of it you did not expect. Remember when you watch this that Hoffa told you you didn't expect this sh*t dog. You really didn't. You know what I mean? It was a great night. From Joe Budden to Hollow, Mook to Loaded Lux, Arsonal, Big T, T-Rex, Daylyt—that got a little weird but you know it's regular sh*t for Daylyt so it's whatever.

"They work out the kinks and they get some more rappers that really, really wanna step into this ring and respect the format.  You gotta respect the format 'cause that's what people come to see. Us battle rappers, we don't use these," Math said about Budden using the microphone. "It's hands-free. Everything is entertainment. Everything. So if you don't respect the format it's not gonna have the same feel. A lot of people are not gonna side with you just because you didn't respect the format. But, it is what it is."

He also spoke positively about moving forward past the altercation that he and Dizaster got into for the benefit of the culture as a whole.

"I've learned that I love Battle Rap more than any of that.  The drama and all that, everybody knows what's been going on. Everybody knows who's in this building tonight and we kept it peace. It's more about growing this culture because this is a way for all of us to express our art and provide for our families at the same time. There shouldn't be any more violence in Battle Rap. It has to grow. What we're seeing right now is huge. There's no f*cking this up."
