I mean, freestyling is one of the definitive ways to show your a better rapper then someone else, and thats all talk 
But i think you make a good point, nobody should tell anyone else how to enjoy their music. Something im guilty of myself |
But now you're almost comparing apples and oranges. You're comparing a very primitive version of one art form to a modern one in which DJ'ing and MC'ing co-exist and feed off of one another. Yes at one time the two may not have been together, but you know, I'm sure, as well as I do that they are both joined now in Hip-Hop music. DJ'ing and MC'ing are the two building blocks of the genre and to say paying attention to one and not the other is missing the point is flat out wrong.
