Dont believe in the power of the rap battle? Check out the videos on grindtimenow.com, the self-proclaimed Worlds Number One Rap Battle League, and youll find more footage of dudes tearing each other apart than the entire back catalogue of UFC fights. From Los Angeles to New York to Minnesota, Grind Time draws rappers with a penchant for one-on-one, acapella carnage and puts them to the test against each other. The goal? Verbal domination, baby. That, and a chance to get their fast-talking faces sprayed across YouTube, Worldstarhiphop.com, and, eventually, the World Street Battle Championship to be held in 2010.
