Summary

Real Talk first arrived on the Letsbeef scene in June of 2006, and quickly starting rising to the elite textcees of the site. Before the year was out (and only 6 months after his debut) Real Talk became only the second ever Letsbeef text Grand Champion. Exactly one year after his debut Real Talk created the legendary letsbeef crew: Hoodrich All Stars, leading it in the years since all the way to Hall Of Fame status. Real Talk is often described as the first Letsbeef Legend, the first true heavyweight and one of the undisputed greatest, ever. Real Talk participated in the first ever Letsbeef Tag Team championship, and ended up winning it with his partner: UNKNOWN ARTIST. The team remain undefeated to this day. In 2011 Real Talk had a spell as a Letsbeef moderator, cementing his position as one of the sites most respected. RT's activity in letsbeef battling has waned progressively as the years have gone on. He dropped many audio battles nearing the 100 battles mark, but the main reason for his absence has been his live battle career. After a solid start to it, Real Talks career reached a new height after he won a New York battle competition at the historic 'Rock The Bells' event. Whether he ever battles on Letsbeef again or not, Real Talk will always remain one of the absolute best battlers to ever grace the site.

Real Talk has no known multi-accounts, and other than "Boog" he is known by no other names than: Real Talk.

Past: Not Applicable (No long stints elsewhere)


Most Acclaimed Victories

In the 2006-2009 era, you'd be hard pressed to find a single heavyweight battler that Real Talk has NOT defeated. However amongst all his great victories, one has often been singled out when the question of 'greatest ever verses' is made. That would be the 32 line, same scheme verse he used to defeat DeNiro B Milk.

Site Impact

There can be no doubt that Real Talk has birthed many of the textcees on this site who have adopted his signature style of battling. He has one of the most impressive battle catalogues on the site, having tangled with the majority of top drawer opponents, many more than once. His debut on Grindtime also sparked a flood of LB'ers to make the plunge themselves into the world of live battling. Real Talk became the first guy to shout-out Letsbeef in a battle, and to actually advertise the site by wearing LB logo'ed shirts. His embracing of Letsbeef on the live platform has not been held against him in any way on grindtime and this example should be noted by others. The mans impact on the site cannot be under-estimated.

Letsbeef Speaks

"I joined this site just as Talks activity was winding down, but saw enough to agree with the common opinion that he was one of the best on the entire site. What struck me the most (and still does) is his easy-going attitude to battling and his battle record. He'll send to anyone, and never gets stressed over votes or anything. He's mastered his style, just flow and punches non-stop from start to finish. One of the greatest 'schemers' on the site, and his verse Vs Bobby Milk remains one of the illest ever. RT could be the LB GOAT." - RULE

"He's been consistantly in the top 3 even before i joined. For years he was tha biggest name on this website, dude pulled in too many votes to count. hes the guy everyone wanted to battle for the guaranteed L. Dude's Top Tier on both Audio & Text, & He's gonna take over GrindTime just in a year or 2 and we'lll have forgotten all about conceited & his PreMadonna voice. I like how he shows up to all of his live battles too baked to remember his lines too haha Funnny shit. He's probably the only gangster on this site too so i dont mind tha gunplay. Hoodrich is one of those legendary crews.. up there with LK & MFD. If anyybody got into tha HoF it should be this guy .. im kinda ufff'd up right now but get @ me for a rematch when you see this boog.... we'll Audio it up." - Rain Matrix

"Undoubtedly one of the best lyricists to grace LeetsBeef in its 6 years existence to date. Real Talk has taken on the best on both text and audio, most of the time has prevailed to claim the W. Has numerous titles to show for his work including the most prestigious title, GRAND CHAMPION. Gained the respect of almost everybody associated with LB with numerous solo tracks and collaborations. Ex-member of staff, proving his commitment to everything Hip-Hop orientated. Real Talk has branched out away from LB & participated in Live battle events. His first few battles didn’t go according to plan but his latest few battles, he has really managed to turn heads. Consistency, drive and work ethic has got RT where he is today & will only increase his popularity on a broader scale." - Mayneak

I saw this guy at the start. There weren't many at this level way back when circa '06, maybe KILOS, War Tank etc but nobody REALLY making that forward move. Real Talk's landing on this site and real establishment was when Letsbeef got interesting. His were the first battles that carried true swagger, and more noteably the complete WOW, HE DID NOT JUST FUCKING SAY THAT factor. A man, IMO never bettered with punchlines and especially with current concepts; 9/10 punches and wordplays were fresh purely because they'd been in the news or magazines etc like the week before, so his bars never dated. As for influence; if you can name me a single cat on Letsbeef that's not been influenced by him - directly or indirectly - I'll literally fuck a rusty sponge. The punches, the constant flow, the never ending multies - a timeless style that was crafted by none other than RT. Ask anyone who Letsbeef G.O.A.T. is - Illy, LEFTY, Conceited, Mani08, UA, anyone you've ever thought was a textual beast - they'll all tell you the same: Real Talk. On top of all this? The man was an all round cool cat. He didn't bitch, didn't talk shit without backing it up, made time for new people on the site and didn't get too inflated on his own hype. Hall Of Famer? Without Real Talk Letsbeef would be a sess pool of 8 Milers. Well deserved amigo, and good luck with the whole live battling scene. Always 100. - Askari

[Miqueas]

I was around when Real Talk had just started. He started off as a quiet pick my battle kind of member and when I left and returned in mid 08 for a little, guy had sky rocketed. Definitely deserving and worthy of it.


Sidenote: RULE did this induction thread justice. Much love.
