agreed. but both of those guys are not rap rookies.mike eagle wrote:it takes preparing for more than three weeks for your first go round to pull that off. thats my entire pointMindbender Futurama wrote:sometimes, this is true, sometimes not.mike eagle wrote:some of that was freestyleVersive wrote:I don't understand Canibus' "chokes" or anyone's for that matter. If you can't remember your written, move on and spit some shit off the top. Who gives a fuck if it sounds bad? Freestyle, say anything. It's a fucking battle. The fact that anyone, Bis included, would just stand there offering nothing but awkward silence is very disturbing to me.
problem is, the quality level goes way down real fast if you're freestyling out of desperation. it basically opens the door to choking. its damn near impossible to end a round as strongly with a freestyle. especially for a dude battling in that style for the first time that only prepared three weeks
occasionally, one of these battle rapper's freestyle rebuttals will be 2 or 4 bars of absolute dynamite, that is more of a hard hitting line than some written set-up.
like Dizaster couldn't have known Canibus was going to wear an arm sling. So when he freestyled "you hit yourself in the chest so hard, your shoulders touched" and everyone was like, it was better than some other great lines he spit, like the one about Wyclef.
if you have prepared your battle mind, your vocabulary and your powers of observation enough, you can come up with a spontaneous rebuttal that's as strong as some of your writtens, and never have a moment of silence in your verse, whether you are freestyling or spitting writtens. but it takes ELEVATED SKILL.
you can see Dizaster at the end, choosing how he wanted to FINISH HIM.
and you can almost see his mind processing the infinite possibilities of the moment, like "what can I say about this vs. what did I plan to say about it? hmmmm... let's go with: I PUT CANIBUS IN A BOX AND LL COOL J IS A FAGGOT, just cause it's completely fun and games now"

Is it safe to assume Canibus has done, and won, a face to face battle, ever before? I hope it is.
so he should have known better.
I agree with you that cats should have lots of rap weapons in store for the moment though. like bars upon bars upon bars. you really shouldn't enter one of those battles without 15-20 minutes of rehearsed verses, or at least FOUR rounds of raps for whatever time limit you have arranged... and then some freestyle-like extra shit in your head, just in case.
I've been Canibus, I've been in that exact position. And I never prepared for ANY show more than I prepared for that battle. Which is why I didn't choke
Canibus is the ultimate human meme generator now, but it's starting with "daaamn homie. in high school, you was the maaan, homie. the fuck happened to you?!"

You just described the battle rap scene in America from 10-15 years ago. Lulz at "higher standards".Comedy Quaddafi wrote:It blows my mind, kinda, that the standard in battlerap is so much higher in Europe. You get booed if people suspect you of spitting writtens, people are expected to freestyle and they also rap to a beat.

a technique commonly known as shadowing; designed to gather any loose leaf battle notes that may fall during the battle. In Eurpoe it's called boxingAlias@anticon.com wrote:why is one of the dudes from H-Town standing behind Canibus the whole time?
It's weird and gay to have a rehearsed live netcee poetry-slam. What's the point? Might as well read that shit from a notebook.capable_keL wrote:pretty sure i have no friends internet or otherwise but embellish on Europe battlerap, it can't be worse than this.
