'Clashing' is an 8 mile style (hate referring to it as that) rap battle in which mc's uses their lyrics and flows against each other in competition. This is a well known way for an mc to gain hype as an artist (especially if they have an upcoming mixtape/DVD to promote). The king of clashes has to be the Godfather Wiley, but a lot of credit has to be given to producer/mc Jammer who arranged and recorded the majority of these clashes in his basement studio. Personally, I'm not a fan of clashes, I prefer to listen to the music that these clashes inspire.
Here are a few select ones to give you an idea and to make your own mind up...
Bashy v Demon
Wiley v Lethal B
Wiley v Kano
