BattleRap.com caught up with KOTD's Lush One and spoke to him about the unfortunate fight that occurred between Dizaster and Math Hoffa at their recent BOLA 5 event.
Lush, who served as the co-host for the event, explained that while he expected a fight to break out, he and his staff were hoping that Math and Dizaster would prove them wrong and keep things professional. This situation has really opened everyone's eyes to the potential dangers that battles with real personal tension can bring, and he hopes that this fight will encourage the general Battle Rap fanbase to think of ways to prevent this from happening in the future.
"This is exactly what we expected, even though it's the last thing in the world that we actually wanted," Lush said. "What we were attempting to do with this battle is show that even people that have beef, that have got issues with each other, can resolve it through Battle Rap, not as means to further perpetuate the beef. Obviously we just folded the f*ckin' Internet in half, so that is what it is. I guess me being the optimist that I am, I'm just looking at it like maybe this will at least open up the discussion – because now it's not just a one-time thing. It's not just [Math] Hoffa swinging, cause now someone threw the first punch on Hoffa – so what do we do about this? What do we do to prevent this from happening in the future?"
He continued by crediting Charlie Clips and Daylyt for putting their street images aside and delivering a classic battle for the benefit of the fans and the culture as a whole. Lush believes that all battlers should try to strive to have this mentality, where they let go of the tough guy act and simply display their gritty lifestyle through their bars rather than "put it in real life or something" (Daylyt voice).
"You don't have to be like that. Daylyt and [Charlie] Clips, those fools are from the hood. Those fools are straight grimy with it, with their bars and sh*t. They have an image that lends itself to the street and that type of activity, but they kept it lyrical. They can transcend whatever it is with just their bars. People need to use that as an example and at the end of the day, that's gonna be the battle from this event that is potentially gonna be discussed as a classic. Now that punch was classic. The battle was dope up until then. That was kind of the worst part about it."
