Just on the point of rawness, the rawest jam I've ever been to was Bboy massacre 2. They threw that $#!+ at the sugar factory. It was bananas. Crowded as f'ck cyphers everywhere. people were more concerned about the cyphers than the official battle.

On the topic of underground vs "overground" as my boy puts it. I think it's a decision. Sometimes I want to be on the big stage in those battles etc...but it's where you want to be and what you want to do. I see where you're coming from gravity about wanting to be able to travel and whatnot and that's dope. For me I've been giving the gift to travel anyways and see different people and different things, but what impressed me the most was always to go in a random jam or nightclub and see some older dude standing up then all of a sudden jump in and rip it. And I've never see this guy before anywhere and may never see him again. I want to be that for somebody else to inspire them maybe to become famous and travel.

But you gotta respect that low key nature and keep it in your mentality all the time, that way when you attack you will in fact have a rawness to you. Rawness I believe is also a don't give a f'ck attitude. Not the don't give a f'ck that you see some newbies throwing out now expecting to get props cause they can do a 6 step and a chair freeze and toprock semi on beat now. But the rawness that comes from the fact that regardless of your opponent, you know yourself and where you stand. You have confidence in yourself and faith so it doesn't matter who or what they throw at you.

The way how most jams are set up today it's not easy to pull out that feeling out of the bboy.
