In an exclusive interview with VladTV, rapper Slaine explains how battling can be a skill to many mainstream rappers today.

A lot of rappers are taking part in battle competitions like Bone Crusher and Mike Jones, Fredro Starr and Keith Murray, and recently, Joe Budden.

Slaine says despite Budden putting the mic down in the third round of his Total Slaughter battle with Hollow da Don, his bars were better than Hollow's.

Slaine also mentions that if the money was right, he wouldn't mind stepping in the ring.
