		<description><![CDATA[While currently battling an unfortunate and uncomfortable case of bleeding hemorrhoids, I was reminded of my dwindling love for rap battles. I then remembered I have a site about battles which still receives thousands of visitors each month, despite the fact that I never update it. After ruining 2 pairs of boxers due to blood [...]]]></description>

I wanted to write this now, not when the footage for this battle drops.

All of the main event battles delivered really hard on both sides and I saw some of these guy’s best performances yet.

		<description><![CDATA[This is a guest article written by RJ, a fan of the battle circuit. It deals with common themes in the battle scene which can either lead to a great performance or an incredibly basic and boring approach, depending entirely on the user of such methods. It&#8217;s a solid read so check it out. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m constantly amazed at how large battling is becoming again. The recent influx of new videos by Grind Time is constantly exposing new people to our culture. It hit a huge (and unfortunate) boom when 8 Mile came out, resulting in tons of idiots being shoved into the circuit, but this new explosion seems to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently there&#8217;s been much debate over the proper way to judge battles. Many battle fans think the current system is inefficient and leads to frequent jerkings. Certain aspects of the current Grind Time system are definitely flawed and with the scene picking up more steam and recognition with every battle, it&#8217;s best the Grind Time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The battles from the Portland New Year&#8217;s Eve event were judged by myself, TheSaurus, Okwerdz, Al-One and DJ Nykon. As we were faced with some really thin decisions throughout the event, we definitely anticipated confusion with regard to the judging. Continue reading to read my breakdown  of the battle. TheSaurus and Okwerdz&#8217; explanations will be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First of all, to those of you who missed the event: SUCKAZ!! Obviously the shit was beyond retarded, but that&#8217;s to be expected when you link together Cali, Washington and Oregon on one of the biggest party nights of the year. Unfortunately only 3 battles popped off, but they were definitely above average and well [...]]]></description>
