Freaky freaky, freaky freaky flows. I love this battle, didn't someone make an mp3 file of it? Sumthin_Funky may appreciate that.

Classic battle.

Both of their styles were mad original and ill.
Most would probably say Finesse won this by a landslide but I think it was close.
Percee's flow, style and delivery was so damn technically ill..
If he didn't fuck up and it wasn't against Finesse, he would've won. Heh

Yeah, the Rhyme Inspector absolutely demolishes this, not many could've withstood his barrage, unfortunately he was against one of the very few who could.

Mad props verge!

I've actually seen Percee out in the street like maybe 4 years ago, dude was real nice and actually gave me a free copy Perseverance which hadn't been released yet I don't think.

No prob, man.
Yeah, he's good people.
You gotta get through all the shameless self promotion to get a good
conversation out of him. But when you do, he's a smart, good natured fella.

People make fun of the fact that he's been standing outside of FatBeats
selling his CDs and promoting himself for maaaaad years now, but he
got himself a Stones Throw deal out of it(out of the general hustle I mean).
And he claims on an average day, he'll knock off about 10 CD's at $10 a pop.

$100 a day aint bad, in my world.
And he enjoys what he does.
Winner in my book.


I hope he gets another album together, but with beats maybe from,
ummm, I dunno, maybeee......... DITC!!

Exactly.
It's like you type what I'm trying to say, except you're not an idiot and
know how to articulate. Lol

Yeah I went to Rock the Bells this one year (never again) and dude was there pushin his album and there was a separate stage for Paid Dues and then there was people doin graffiti and break dancng and all this shit. There was a lil area though in the same section where they were havin a freestyle contest and outta nowhere, Percee, Chino XL, and Immortal Technique come up (I was literally like 5 feet away or less, highlight of the show) and Percee drops a freestyle! Shit was crazy man to be literally in the circle like that. But yeah if get got DITC on the production, banananananananaas.

Dude is mad humble, was in paris two years ago, chilling next to people in the room, looking at the concert, talking to people, while others stones throw artists were just in the backstage. P talks to ppl, stays down to earth and all.
Too bad perseverance was not that good. The remix lp wasnt that better. Too bad. he does really deserves a DITC back up on the prod, true dat. I dream of a J-zone produced LP too. A Kev brown joint wouldnt hurt neither...
Anyway, one of the best to do it, plus true to the culture.

also this "remake" of the legendary battle is great http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZmT3tOIn9k

^^^^ true, just wanted to post it up.

Yeah that song is on the album he gave me, and the video concept is genius.

Percee P definitely came correct, but Finesse was just too slick.

"I get the punani, plus keep my currency"

C'mon now.

^^Check out homegirl's reaction in the back when he says that shit.

But yeah he was too ill. "if rap was money you'd be rated as a food stamp"

Yep, she does the classic ghetto girl "oh it's like that now" face and pose. Excellent.
