true... but that's what battling is
And Ness' "Bars" were really about guns and drugs, so...
he got merked.
That's like a boxer jumping in the UFC ring. Didn't have no ground game.
I thought battling rapping was about bars
and not def comedy jam

I see what you're saying, but no.
A battle between two emcees, even when it's just songs going back and forth- you're gonna have to talk about the guy in front of you.
If you aint throwin punchlines, then what the fuck are you doing?
Name me a battle in hiphop history where one guy wasn't talking about the other.
independent of a battle, I'd jusge them by their bars. I've only heard Iron battling, so I have no clue what his song bars are. But in this battle shit- he KILLS opponents. Only one who was even close was Math Hoffa.
Did you miss the Lebron vs. Wade line? That alone gave him the W in my opinion.

You thought wrong! There's nothing more boring than a million rhymes filled with gun talk and stupid crime shit. I don't mind it thrown in here and there, but that shit just gets real tired, real quick! There is so much more to say than just how tough you think you are and how many guns you think you have!
I'm waiting for them to post Nocando Vs. Disaster from that night! That shit was serious!
Ness put the crowd to sleep with his fake thug talk! Cats are looking to be entertained with clever shit, not some wannabe Francis Ford Coppola gangster shit!
yeah, that was ILL. Plus the "33" lines. whew!
He didn't just talk about the band shit at all. He had BARS... and FLOWS. He hit him with like 10 different flows. Even an old school call and response.
Ness had that same Philly flow- which I'm a fan of the Philly style, but it aint good for battling.
Wouldn't say E-ness got destroyed I thought he held his own
I agree. He got destroyed on Making The Band though.
holding your own and actually being some form of competition are two different things. I don't think he did horrible but he ain't fucking with Iron Solomon's caliber of battle Emcee. As soon as they put up Nocando Vs. Disaster, I'll post that shit up so you guys can see two ill battle emcees clash for real!
yeah, I wanna see that. Don't know them
I guess you didn't get the memo. Most battles nowadays are prepped verses and then they battle with their material. It's a battle but not freestyle. None of them claimed to be going off the top. Go get a late pass.
It's not about white or black. It's about skills and clever rhymes. Ness got fucked up. There's nothing else you can see from that battle, but if you're biased, I guess you would see what you want to see. Ness knows he lost. He didn't know where to go after the battle.

C/S Battle rap is about finding things out about your opponent that people in the crowd are familiar with and exposing it in a clever way, it may come off funny or it may come off as hardcore but it gets the crowd into it. Battle rap is way more than just talking about dope and guns, you have to do your homework on your opponent and his previous battles to go at him in a skill and clever way. The shit ain't easy to pull off in front of a crowd of people because if you fuck up you will get merked.
Is it live or is it Memorex....
If it were a boxing match or MMA match, wouldn't you expect the competitor to do his homework on his opponent and come prepared to give you a good show and train his ass off to entertain you and show you athleticism at it's best?
Same here. Nowadays cats come up with some lines that are almost impossible to spit off the dome, and to me, I would prefer that. A polished verse with an Emcee's ability to craft a verse showcased as opposed to someone just throwing some shit together that's either hot or not!
I think both approaches are something to be admired, but if I'm paying to see these battles (which I usually don't because I get on the list) I want to see and hear something spectacular.
good battle,both represented sometimes it seems whoevers the loudest wins lol....ness is an easy target because of the band and puff so its easy to go at him...to me ness comes out on top because these other cats are known but no real staple to lock on as far as findin something on them to use against them......overall a good battle
BKF prolly thinks Eminem really freestyles as good as he did in the end of 8 mile... and prolly thinks he WAS coming off the top in 8 mile.
for the shit to be GOOD
Lemme ask you this... knowing that Ness ALSO knew who he was battling and had time to research his opponent and write shit on him, what's your verdict?
This was more like a performance than a real battle. I don't know about this new shit....So I would have to give it to Ness for at least making it look like it was off the dome.
Ness held his ground.

Uh...no wrong person.

nah Ness has PLENTY to look up on Iron SOlomon- there are at leat 10 battles on the web- dude is a champ.
Ness is in the unfortunate position to have SOOOO much embarassing shit out there about him that contradicts the shit he spits, that he simply shouldn't be battling.
But I don't blame him, I'm sure he NEEDED that 2500, no joke. He had to use what name he still has to get the slot that a REAL battle emcee shoulda got. Same as Toney got his ass whipped in that MMA fight, or Kembo even.
He still had a shot if he was slick enough, but he isn't. Hope he enjoys that 2500.
