come on. you're a fan of these battles i assume. a vast majority of rap fans could not give a shit about any of these organized battle leagues & will completely ignore this like they've been ignoring canibus for 15 yearsEmployee wrote:LOL @ your faggot-based short-armed ass trying to downplay what will be one of the most talked about rap events of the year (not to mention the subsequent years during which Canibus will morph from man-to-meme).
You are such a fucking Canibus.

the fact that some guys haven't figured this out yet is mind-boggling.Versive 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.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah, does Dizaster EVER spit a third verse.Versive wrote:The battle posted on the last page cuts off with Bis reading "I stick dick to ya moms." Did Dizaster spit a 3rd verse?
@dsisive Canabis got Magnottaed.. litterally fucked & decapitated on film
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.

like, it really was over in the first round.
second round, it was just a fatality.
after Diz's third? SMFH.
poor, poor Canibus.
there is not a single rapper on planet earth who is in worse shape right now than Canibus. the money means nothing. the past means nothing. the present is nothing but absoluting fucking DEPRESSING, and the future is morbidity.

I agree with MB.Mindbender Futurama wrote:that's not the point right now.Philaflava wrote:Would any of you listen to either of these rappers on a real song?
the venue being discussed is the gladiator's arena.
some MCs are able to handle the pressure. some aren't.
whether it's freestyle or written, the face-to-face conflict aspect of rap is valid.

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
I know some of Dizaster's was off the top, but it was hard to tell with Canibus since there was so much time in between each of his bars anyway. I understand what you're saying and agree with you, but anything's better than dead air, you know?mike eagle wrote:some of that was freestyleVersive wrote:I don't understand Canibus' "chokes" or anyone's for that matter.

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.

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"
