			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This was another great battle from the January 14th Don&#8217;t Flop 1st Quarter Tryout event.. I remember enjoying watching it when I was there so I should be a good watch for those of you who see it now. Check it out and let us know what you think.. Don&#8217;t Forget to support the <a href="http://www.dontflop.com" target="_blank">Don&#8217;t Flop</a> movement, especially if you&#8217;re from the UK. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In our poll over the past few weeks we asked your opinion on the whole Common Vs. Drake beef. It&#8217;s time to bring the poll to a close and analyze the results. I can confirm that 65% of our readers chose to side with Common over Drake who managed to pull the remaining 35%. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s an interesting result because I know that even thought here are people who would appreciate Common&#8217;s music more as a whole, many felt like he was in the wrong when it came to his beef with Drake. Although the Epic Network management were in favour of Common, we don&#8217;t always like to take sides in these things, and I myself felt like the beef was silly anyway. It was mainly my lengthy connection with Hip Hop that swayed me in Common&#8217;s favour as I respect everything he has added to the genre in the years I have listened to him.</p>
<p>We now have up a new poll at the bottom of the page, so be sure to cast your vote. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This was one of the better battles from the 1st Quarter Tryout Don&#8217;t Flop event which I attended last month. You won&#8217;t see me on camera this time, but who cares..This battle is highly entertaining. When I first saw this I felt Lefty should have won, but let me know what you think. It could definitely go either way. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While it&#8217;s half time at the Superbowl Smack delivers this heated battle between New Jersey&#8217;s Tsu Surf and Chicago&#8217;s Big T. In other Smack news, they just held their V.I.P event earlier today which featured some great battles. From what I&#8217;ve been hearing John John Da Don Vs. Bill Collector and Charlie Clips Vs. X-Factor were classics. Hopefully we&#8217;ll see those battles sometime in the future, for now check out this battle and let us know who you thought won.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Another battle from Don&#8217;t Flop&#8217;s 1st Quarter Tryout event, in which I attended. (If you look on Bamalam&#8217;s side, I&#8217;m right behind the lady up front). This was a pretty good battle, Bamalam showed his thing, and don&#8217;t sleep on Phest. Battle rap isn&#8217;t easy to pull off but these Don&#8217;t Flop newcomers did their thing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether you agree or not, Common is considered a legend and one of the realest emcee&#8217;s around. Still keeping a genre alive that seems to be dying, Chicago&#8217;s very own laid down some bars in a recent appearance on the Cosmic Kev&#8217;s show, speaking over the French Montana single.</p>
<p>This is probably the shortest article I have done yet, but it is simply a freestyle, it is Common, so there is not much more needed to be said. Checkout the track below and let us know your thoughts &#8211; BlackBerry needed? Or not really?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot can be said about Young Money&#8217;s artist Drake, who in recent times has been in a heated beef with Chicago&#8217;s Common, and in our case definitely coming out losing against the professional rapper. After Common said his part on the <a href="http://www.theepicnetwork.com/17309/newmusic-beef-common-stay-schemin-remix-drake-diss/" title="Common - Stay Schemin (Remix), Drake Diss | The Epic Network" target="_blank">&#8220;Stay Schemin&#8217;&#8221; remix</a> he went on to say he has moved on, with nothing more to say unless provoked otherwise by Drake himself. This has prompted Drake to also reply that he too, has nothing to say on the beef, though we&#8217;ve all heard this before from a Young Money artist&#8230;</p>
<p>Speaking to <i>Nah Right</i>, Drake mentioned wouldn’t record another diss track towards Common, saying instead that this was all done because he used the beef to promote his latest album, &#8220;The Dreamer, The Believer.&#8221; quoted to say: despite how it’s been worded by him that situation is not a ‘hip hop moment’ or a ‘battle for the sake of musical integrity’…it’s a ploy for attention around the release of an album, more than anything it was just disappointing cause what kid isn’t a fan of what Common has done for our genre. A guy who made such an incredible career for himself based off expressing genuine feelings about life and love is now targeting me for sharing my story.”</p>
<p>With Drake likely ignoring real reasons to why the beef was started in the first place, he moved on to discussing his plans for a tour this year as well as he has already started recording new music.</p>
<p>“I have begun working on new music already and I’ll be recording during the whole college tour with 40. Making better music and building myself as a business is all that’s on my mind. Hopefully some acting as well.”</p>
<p>So the beef has ended, for now. Time and time again we hear an artist from Young Money/Cash Money weasel their way out of a beef only to then intentionally go back in and deny themselves, so it would not be surprising if Drake has a few extra words to say about the Chi-town legend upon new music releases. Whatever the case, let us know your thoughts and opinions on this situation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is the very first rap battle from Don&#8217;t Flops 2012 1st Quarter Tryouts in London. I was actually in attendance, but you won&#8217;t see me well in this battle as I was right at the back. These are two pretty talented MC&#8217;s, but who walks home with the win? </p>
