Real Deal spoke with Battle Rap Journalist Michael Hughes about a variety of topics in this clip from his exclusive interview with VladTV.

Real believes that while the presence of celebrities in battles boosts the notoriety of the sport, it also has the potential to be the downfall of Battle Rap.  He thinks that because the hype behind seeing celebrities battle is so high, fans are too quick to react to the most basic bars from them, which will dumb down the quality of lyricism expected from the sport.

He also discussed various battles that fans will hopefully get to see in the future, including Daylyt vs. Bizarre and Drake vs. Murda Mook.  When asked to provide his top celebrity picks to battle, Real Deal named Cam'ron, Lloyd Banks, and Yelawolf among others.
