I am Dizaster, World Famous Battle Rapper Starring in Eminem's New Movie "Bodied", Ask Me Anything...

Any fun Eminem stories?

Not yet lol

They will come, he looks like a guy that fun stuff happens around.

I'm just thankful to have grown up being inspired by his movie and his lyricism to see him show the love back , it means everything, even if I never have " fun " stories . I'm already where I need to be on the side of history. The right side. 😃

Who won, Rone or ICE? Whos on your Mt Rushmore?

No comment.

What a pussy.

It makes sense that Diz doesn't follow the rules of the Ask me Anything thread because he doesn't follow league time rules either.

Reality is mainly based on perception. In this regard I'm going to help you see how off you are. My answers are actually the most honest your gonna get. it's me telling u directly I how I feel I'm not being PC I'd rather drink bleach then be pc. If I say no comment I really feel that way I don't care how either rapper feels or anyone else for the matter. As far as league rules? What league rules? There is no set of rules last I checked . If anything I need to get contractual agreements stating how long I'm allowed to go, because people always lie and it's easy to say "diz stick to the rules" .I've never went back on anyone's word ever. U can quote me . ( besides the math thing ill give u that ). Lol

doesn't AMA stand for ''ask me anything''?

you're a battlerapper, yet too politically correct to give us your opinion on 1 battle or naming some of your greatest colleagues. huh

still a big fan of your battles but it would be great if you would reconsider and answer this question.

It's a hard battle to judge I don't have to agree with the decision neither do u . Underwhelming battle to say the least

What is the story with the laminated dollar half-turtleneck shirt at BOLA 3?

I'm an idiot. End of story.

What do you think about battles in Russia? After all, battles in Russia have already surpassed the battles in the United States and have a greater impact on culture.

And what do you expect from a versus battle with oxxxymiron?

I fuckin love you guys

Does pineapple really belong on pizza?

Don't ever disrespect pineapples again. They belong on everything.

What was it like meeting Taylor Swift?

She smells good .

Wait... Eminem has a new movie?!?!?

Yes sir . Act like u know and tell a friend

How do you feel about the demise of Dont Flop?

I exposed eurgh 3 years ago, everyone said I was a bully. Donny answer is , I'm drinking a tall invisible glass of water right now ..,gulp gulp

Can anyone translate this answer?

The answer is i fuckin told people he was doing bad business that's why I spit in his face and almost beat his ass infront of everyone ...everyone talked shit to me and said I was "having a meltdown"

How come every time you go on RYD you wanna smash Avocado's stuff?

Hahahahahahahahahaha

Is there anything that you brought up about someone during a battle and later regretted?

I regret any personal shit I said to anyone, back then we were desperate for a win, now it's corny and not impressive , I will avoid personals

Who would you 2 on 2 with?

Hollow pat or iron.

1) Is Oxxxymiron your next battle? And when are we going to see it?

2) Is it possible we would see You vs Hollow 3 rounder this year?

3) Congrats on BODIED! Tell us a little bit about your role.

My next two battles are two battle I requested and I am very excited to bring u guys 6 flawless rounds by the end of this year. I cannot elaborate more on that.

As far as bodied , my name is megaton and Los Angeles based mc and my role is the antagonist (main villain) and I play myself in the movie just a little more intense and savage. I battle a fair amount of times and the closest u can compare my role too on a huge movie level is darth Vader in Star Wars. So yah super asshole and my fans will get there dose of dizaster their looking for.

You've been face to face with mainstream artists like canibus and Cassidy. Where do you rank the reveal of you an hollow in comparison to repping battlers against the music dudes?

I think it's only right , as you can see longevity creates a different level of stock for the battler and conisistency after so long is a huge factor in why we get the huge opportunities when they arise.

What is your favorite bar someone has used against you?

Hollows "u even battled the host " and "he can hear a cellphone ringing in ur jacket " best personals ever I'm still in tears.

If you put an intercom in a generator,

WHAT EXACTLY WOULD THAT DO?

lol ud be able to hear the sound of the engine from the inside

You gonna be on World Dom? And what language is the Oxxxy battle gonna be?

Idk .... and oxxxy will battle me in English.

Biggie or 2Pac?

PAC overall..,. Biggie as an mc.

Why the fuck haven't you started a "Megaton watches battles" series on YouTube to help promote this film, completely in character? No but seriously, what is your battle rap endgame? Who do you NEED to battle before you hang up the pen and pad?

Idk why, maybe I was waiting for someone like you to come up with the idea lol

when hollow started complaining about the time limit did that affect your performance ?

Obviously.

Follow up question do you think you'll be able to stick to the time limit in the full battle against hollow?

I did there was no time limit originally we agreed nobody would be cut off , hollow decided I was done rapping on his own (and that's after I let him ride) ...so i probably won't be battling him 3 rounds unless I get the agreement in writing this time.

Any chance of coming back to the UK to battle any time soon?

No Bruv.

What about for an event not thrown by MC ISIS-beard?

Lmfao

Did you expect the sort of reaction you got after the Bodied trailer was released?

joseph kahn is a genius

Diz is there anything you do for breath control? Thanks man.

I don't smoke garbage ass ciggerettes

Stepping aside from all the battle shit, who are you listening to heavy right now?

Childish gambino

What is your favorite battle to watch again and again?

Where do you see battle rap in 5 years?

I see battlerap at the top of the Industry food chain and by then we would have removed everyone off Mount Rushmore and replaced all 4 heads with one big statue of my DICK instead.

Yo Diz, who was your best opponent in your opinion?

Hollow or iron

I'll be frequently answering through out the night if u guys still have questions

-I know a lot of my supporters are from different time zones

Your freestyles during a battle can sometimes ruin your flawless written performance if they come off mediocre and bland, Do you agree?

Facts

LET ME ASK YOU ALL A QUESTION INSTEAD .

Gjonaj never recovered after me he had 2 battles where he kept losing steam and immediately retired after that.

Obviously he had this drawn out explanation of why he's not battling anymore . But let's be real, he has to say that , clearly he's not gonna come out and say "hey y'all diz put my fire out" But let's examine a few things : gjonaj was the most buzzing name in battle rap at the time probably since I battled thesaurus out of no where back in 08 ... he was the the talk of the community . Everyone said he would 3-0 me and even smack was behind him.

Hands down he was on a unmatchable high. You don't understand what that feels like being An mc and having everyone praise you like that u feel invincible. It's everything U work for as a battler cuz money is not an issue yet. My point is he had such a promising buzz and before we battled he looked stronger then me on his own. People were saying he was gonna beat me I remember vividly lol. In comparison to each other with out us battling he looked like he had a chance or that if we battled he would do MAJOR damage at least and when I just made a Mochery out of him and effortlessly decimated him , the world realized that he was just a gimmick. He wasn't ever able to even see himself the same after that because the problem was that he puffed him self up so much that he even believed the gimmick was real himself. The lines blurred and he couldn't distinguish what was real and what was fake anymore . So the day the world found out the truth , he was finding out with them, and he never got over it. I feel like Conor mcrgreggor might suffer a similar fate vs Floyd. There's a good chance Conor doesn't land a single punch or minimum gets schooled and clowned . After that we all see him as a joke especially if floyd easily wins . Shit if he gets clowned too hard he might also quit and say he's moving on to "bigger and better things".

So all in a nutshell , Did i destroy gjonaj?

1. Do you regret doing the Hitler mustache angle vs Solomon? I know that fell flat for a lot of people.

2. Where do you rank Arsonal all time now that he is retired?

3. Most underrated battler from the West?

4. This isn't really a question, but I think you need to condense your rounds more. Your good stuff is really good, but sometimes you have a lot of filler which sometimes outweighs all the good stuff you said. Nowadays no one wants to hear people rap for more than 5 minutes. Less is more, etc

Yah I agree bro the Hitler shit came off corny def could have did with out it , arsonal is one of the goats, most underrated from west is bdot , and as far as 4 go fuck your self. Lol.

Can you comment on Gnoaji's voice? Doesn't it sound like sandpaper? Also can you do more soccer announcer impressions?

Hahahahah will do

Did you get the creative freedom to write your own material for the Bodied movie?

I've heard Kid Twist took over a lot of the writing process.

Yes they let me be me. But twist did an excellent job I also contributed to other bars besides my own.

Bruh stop avoiding Oxxxy questions. Tell us, when can we expect you to see you in Russia?

I can't give u an exact date my friend

Hey Diz, big fan here.

What was the most upset you've ever gotten in a battle?

Best line used against you?

Who would win in a battle between Canibus' notebook and that thing on T-Rex's ear?

Most upset is during , arcane ,Cassidy and jones... those battles had too much fraudulent shit attached to them ... and canibus notebook is by far superior

Hey Diz. Congratulations on the movie. Hope it opens up even more doors for you and battle rap in general. Also super hyped for you vs Hollow.

On Ruin Your Day Illmac had shared that he reads more books to prep for a battle (The Book of Five Rings) and Hollow said he stops smoking as much and goes for long drives. Is there anything that you do to get ready for an opponent?

I go around knocking people out.

Where would one even begin to grow a vast vocabulary? What is the best verse you've heard from a competitor? Thank you for doing this AMA, Im jealous of your commitment to such a badass career. :)

Thanks man I appreciate that compliment . Truth is I been obsessed with words since a young age. I been battling for 17-18 years so , it doesn't come over night. plus it helps I come from a long blood line of poets and rhymers.

What there a different feeling during the Grind Time era than there is now? Is it better or worse?

Well there's a sense of hunger that is missing. The essential needs battle rap was predicated on , was the natural instinct to kill. It's lacking now cuz the motive to kill is contingent upon the amount of funds being put forth.

What do you make of the UK scene at the moment? Favourite UK battler?

Favorite U.K. Battlers : shotty ,lunar c , soul, shuffle t and Marlo, cruger, shox the rebel dialect ........ older favorites : O'Shea innuendo tenchoo Lego, respek ba

It's in shambles Bruv. But the British battle scene will always have a special place in my heart, some amazing memories there.

Yo Diz, big fan here I have some questions for you my man:

-At what age did you start to rhyme? -How long was the grind before your first paycheck? -Was it tough at first?

thank you for your time, I still watch occasionally your battle with canibitc- ehr I mean bus, one of your best for sure peace out

Thanks violent frog ....

• The age I started rhyming is tricky although as I recall vaguely, I started around '99 which would put me at 14-15 years old. But my brother tells me there's footage somewhere of me rapping when I was 12. I can't confirm that.

• The grind for the first paycheck was a long clusterfuck of years getting paid nothing. I will take u all the way back to the park benches and cafeterias . We first started betting over 20$ , newports, shoes even pizza/food at one point. (I have a funny story for another time). After a couple of years of side betting and cyphering at parks, We started finding out about little functions with 100$ prizes ... that went on for a while then the 500$ prizes came and eventually it was "omg there's a tournament with a stack for winner". -Then it was 5 stacks .... -then the world rap championships came around And it was 2on2 but a chance to get 50k... -Then GT era started and we started with transportation and room. -Then it was a couple hundred -Then 500$ or I won't do it. -Then I want a g. -Then 2k. -Then I travelled the planet took over Came back and asked for 5k. -Then I battled canibus 2012 made +15k. -Then battled Cassidy 2015 made +50k. And now 2017 I won't battle for less then a certain amount. And that's how I built my stock.

Did you cry when Arcane beat you?

Yes i did , I cried for hiphop cuz a big piece of it died that night.

We all cried a little bit.

Hold me

Thoughts on Wu-Tang?

My big homies

What's your favorite 3-0 to rewatch not including any that you were involved in?

You vs Gjonaj is my favorite Jellyfish to rewatch. 3-0, Real Body.

Looking forward to the movie, keep doing you Diz.

Bahahahahahahahahhhhhaha I love u man that's a hilarious comment

other than canibus because you kicked his teeth down his throat lol who do you think you've stomped out the worst in a battle?

Gjonaj , jersey swift , and mr.et (billy boondocks) . Those are the most severe beat downs I've probably handed out besides canibus. Those 3 are all career Enders in every sense of the word.

How far back do you and Lush go? Did he help put you on as much as a lot people say he did?

We started off as enemies lol then he booked me vs thesaurus and from there He got me some of my biggest matches of all time , canibus and Cassidy are both him which is my highest pay checks . Almost 6 digit paycheck on the Cassidy battle

Have you ever talked to Math Hoffa after whooping him?

I would but I don't happen to own a ouiga board

Whats the biggest misconception about the rap world?

That these guys are actually serious people . Lol

What are your thoughts on Carter Deems?

Is Bigfoot real?

Love carter deems

Which rapper from those you've battle had the worst breath smell? from my observation, i think it was DNA because he seems to care less about his oral hygiene. amrite?

Official . And it's not debatable.

Against Aye Verb, you took his scheme and freestyled your whole round with it "Circumcise him, perfect hymen etc.". That is the craziest thing I've seen in battle rap and I think that's a really underrated performance. How did you manage to even do that?

I don't know...and it's not fair to me that I never get credit for it , but your awesome so it's ok

Do you rewatch your battles? If so, how many times?

Once or twice sometimes more rarely tho

On the Bodied movie, are you going to spit more rounds? What about Daylyt he battles too? Why your real names werent used?

Yes I rap more then just the trailer scene , I can't speak on anyone else's role , and as far as the real names idk why maybe it's weird for someone to use real names . Eminem was "brabbit" why should we be any better lol the name is just for the story line everyone has a movie name I ain't mad , now call me mega from now on biatchhhhhhhhh

Hey yo dude, big fan.

Are you into any video games rignt now? Those streams where you were playing the new UFC game were gold.

Gta5 is all I play

Good answer, borderline work of art really.

It's a way of life 😍

Did you really battle Lil Flip in Texas? lol

Nah that's my boy he put me on a card with Gucci mane and twista. I was supposed to battle a dude from Houston there but the sound and stage both weren't fit and it got cancelled

If u had a choice after Hollow would u pick LUX or ROC to kill next ?

Me tay roc and conceited are the most popular battlers right now (analytics) wise .. so I would go for tay roc cuz he has bigger numbers then lux right now I've done the stats. I research my next moves carefully.

Do most people know how book smart you are? Like that line about how Gnoaji's voice is the reason he lost like JFK's voice?

Thanks for noticing that line, it went over everyone's head . I thought it was fire lol

Hey mate, pretty big fan of you in the rap-battle scene. Your energy is undeniable and you are unrelenting and always on-attack, which honestly goes against the usual "cool guys don't yell" attitude that I see being popularized in hip hop a lot of the time.

A few questions :

---

1.) How was the shift from purely Battle-rap to acting (and acting battle rap)? Was it tough? Did you find that a few of the more performance-oriented situations actually carried over from your massive pool of experience?

2.) Eminem is producing this project, which is awesome! Are you a fan of the dude musically? A lot of his recent work (especially his off-album and/or bonus-tracks) have clearly taken tons of inspiration from battle-rap and its delivery. What are your thoughts on this?

3.) Who's the guy that inspired you to take the craft of rhyming to the next level?

---

All the best, Diz, keep doing you, bruh. Your battle against Canibus was one of the nuttiest things I've seen that year. That shit was legendary.

First of all thank u everything u said is much appreciated . So to begin answering your questions .

1) honestly it was natural for me I didn't even notice a shift , I've always acted out my punchlines so this felt normal.

2) Yes I am a fan of Em since day 1. I can relate to him on levels people aren't aware of yet. Especially fighting for acceptance , and using the doubt around you to fuel you. He has always been an inspiration on a rhyming level and style of insults using multisyllables and I feel like he's the only one who gets it. As far as him taking influence from us I wouldn't be surprised since we (me) are a product of his era . It's only right that he would draw inspiration from what made him who he is today. I see marshall as the type of person that would never lose his roots , and being a battler is a itch u can never lose.

3) The answer to this is the same as number 2. Reality is if it wasn't for 8 mile I wouldn't be who I am today. That movie might not mean to others what it is to me. When 8 mile came out it gave me the exact vision of what we are doing today , I spent the next 15 years making battle rap the reality it is today, because it gave us the notoriety we needed to be respected by the mainstream as an underground art form. Before 8 mile battle rap was just a random thing, and we became world wide over night and the dream lives on ever since . To add to mentioning canibus , I knew I was gonna beat him back when I was just 16 years old I told myself I would wipe him out one day. And he was probably the best on earth at the time ... this whole journey has been crazy.

Ah fuck. Im aware I missed the boat but I'm hoping you see this and can answer. What specifically went down with you and eurgh? What made you so upset with him personally?

It was a long string of things , it was lying about money after lowballing me to begin with , not taking care of me while I was there, then disrespecting me when I asked to be treated fairly, and pretty much warned specifically not to do it again and doing it again with no regard to consequence as if he didn't believe they would come. I'm used to it tho, math thought the same shit.

What's your favourite flavour of ice cream? cheers man love your battles

Gangsters don't eat ice cream.

You still friends with Nocando? That battle was a classic for me

Yah nocan will always be the homie

Why hasn't Eminem or Paul Rosenberg promoted the film themselves? They marketed SOUTH PAW very differently it seems.

Will you host your own battle event again? such as the halloween battle card.

I don't question the work of people that laid out the blueprint for us to begin with and neither should you.

As far as Halloween battles I want to, but I might be too tied up with battles and tv commercials and other movies potentially

Have you ever ghostwrote a line for someone and it became popular for them? I'd like to see you vs Fresco

Occasionally little things like this do happen and I wouldn't battle fresco but he's underrated as fuck and I hope he jumps back in the ring soon.

What is your role in the movie exactly? Are you playing just a one scene character, enemy of the protagonist or a mentor? I understand if that gives away too much of the plot just wondering because you were a big part of the trailer. Regardless big fan, can't wait to see you on world dom (if you're participating)

Yes I'm the main bad guy in the movie lol

What were the best 3 events in your opinion?

Hard question

Do you think you were robbed against Daylyt on Total Slaughter and would you battle him in a 3 rounder?

Yes and I wasn't mad. That was his first big thing he ever done I was not even excited as he was + he wanted it more then me and a big part of me didn't want to take that from him.I let my soft side override my logic, like it has many times in the past. But I have changed. If we battled now I would smoke him and burry him underneath the stage. Problem is I would never do it cuz it just doesn't interest me anymore. He can have that...

Anything you can share about what went down before/during/after the Cadalack Ron vs Dizaster battle? Anything you can tell us about your freestyle battles with Caddy?

I don't remember it tbh , we were at Red Bull comp and I can say caddy really was motivated and took it more serious then we all did and wanted to win .

Would you fight another rapper again during a battle?

Hope to god not.

Would you ever battle in the UK again? Doesnt have to be on DF of course, could be any league

I don't know, there might be something happening next year we'll see.

What episode of Game of Thrones are you on?

Ur gonna hate me ...but I never watched it

I like different shit.... Like fringe and black mirror.

Your first round against SMP is one of the funniest rounds ever. Do you wish you could've used those jokes on a bigger opponent?

Nobody is bigger then SMP 😂😂😂

Do you listen to other genres outside rap? If so, what are you digging right now?

All types of wierd shit man the whole gta5 playlist lol

The Hispanic songs are annoying asf in gta 5 tho loool

Those are my favorite ones lol

Is Eminem as angry as he portrays?

Eminem is a human being. If u see him when his angry then he might be angry at that moment , when ur real you show the world your vulnerabilities and wear them on your sleeve , that's why I can relate to him. I'm not always angry either . We just happen to be humans.

What's you favorite sonic the hedgehog game ?

Nintendo for life xxx 187 on all sega babies

Have you met em yet? As of recent? If not what will you say if you meet the walking wordsmith, and in the movie are you gonna sing sucky sucky

Lmfaoooooooooooooooo

How do you think Lupe Fiasco would do if he ever stepped in the battling ring?

He would suck.

Feelings on JC vs Lux?

Personally it's too early, and level of competition is nowhere near equal.

No comment

Do you pay for weed?

Blasfema
