The Beatdown

So even if Simmons won't be there next week, Campbell will be. "I mean, I'm still Apostle," he says of his performance persona. "And hip-hop is what I represent, and if I don't speak the truth, then I'm not truly authentic to the culture that I claim to represent. I'm always vocal about how I feel. Sometimes it's not as eloquent as I feel like it should be. And sometimes it's not as popular. But I think in the end what I bring to the table is more valuable than not."

And the beat goes on.
