Ab-Soul Opens Up in CRWN Interview - In a recent chat with Elliott Wilson, Ab-Soul talked battle rapping with Slaughterhouse, the intelligence of hip hop and the cover art for his These Days mixtape. “Battle rapping is like boxing,” he said. “I smoke a lot of weed, drink and do all these things. Daylyt is clean. He keeps electricity. He’s like a boxer. He’s charged. So, when you’re listening to the battle, whether you dig my bars or not, I feel, personally, his electricity is what took it. His battle stance took it versus my cool words.” Reflecting on the influence of rap pioneers like KRS-One, Soulo also noted, “To be hip is to be intelligent. hip hop is a movement, intelligent movement. That’s KRS-One. So I’m still trying to push that issue.” (Photo: Theo Wargo/Getty Images)
