"Know your enemy and know yourself, find naught in fear for 100 battles. Know yourself but not your enemy, find level of loss and victory. Know thy enemy but not yourself, wallow in defeat every time"- Art of War by Sun Tzu

After reading this, don't you think all the verses in ERB follow this mentality. When a rapper makes himself appear better and can diss their opponent, the verse is pretty good. When a rapper can only lift himself up, then some lines stick while others fall short. When a rapper can only diss his enemy and cannot make himself appear better than the other, his verse is shit.

Not only that, but it speaks on the worthy and material a character has. When both rappers have a lot of material to work off of, it's a great battle. When the more known character has more material than the other, it's an okay battle. But when the obscure character has more material the well-known one, the entire battle is a flop.

I hope they mention this somehow. The quote, I mean, not the connection to ERB as a whole I just made.
