Yo this dude hollow. Why would he throw that away, that's a perfect roc impression. He would have burned the room down with that

If he gave it away its just some dirty batch shyt

The real one gonna be on stage we seen how he bodied Clip's style in seconds

 

[JuvenileHell]

Joe Budden said he battled Eyedea back in 1996 and got his boots smoked lmao

I'm half way through this PSA episode with Joe Budden and Mickey Facts.

Listening to the conversation, it would be great if there were someone on the battle rap side, who can hold their own and articulate themselves.

There have been opportunities here were Dre and Big T have valid points, but because they are unable to convoy them properly, someone like Joe immediately dismisses them.

Maybe Brizz should have been on. I think he caught Mickey off guard in their conversation on PSA. He definitely got the better of their argument imo.

Mickey is definitely someone I enjoy listening to and agree with him a lot on topics. However, his certain fondness for the past does cloud his judgement at times.

The argument of DNA's skillset came up on PSA. DNA is actually a better rapper, than he is a battle rapper imo. I don't think judging him solely off battle rap really showcases what he can do.

As a battlerapper, he just takes what works, and creates a formula out of it. He's even said as much.

It takes rap ability to have longevity and to reinvent yourself.

Joey himself evaluates these guys as rappers, not just battle rappers, therefore if the right person was on, this argument could have been shut down. There is no significant gap in skill between the artist he named and DNA.


EDIT

Joe just acknowledged that DNA is better than a lot of guys on beats.

I agreed with a lot of the stuff Big T was saying outside of the idea that Cons & Mook coming back to battle rap would generate the same level of fanfare. Unfortunately you have to come at Joe a certain way, he uses condescension as a shield.
Joe actions contradict his words a little too much for me to really take him seriously here.

Forgot that Joe kinda just dismissed Mickey coming at him. Daylyt did him the same way, and those are supposed to Mickey's friends lol

The amount of dikkriding Mickey was doing for Joe was

Is he slurping Joe for a spot on the Joe Budden podcast or something

I finished listening it seemed like they were having different debates

Joe's Mook debate was that he's the Greatest, which is different from the best. Dre and Big T were caught up in greatest. I agree Mook is the greatest. He's the Hov of battle rap. He's not necessarily the best battle rapper skill set wise but if you account for everything he's number 1. I've stated this before, I feel fans put way too much emphasis on amount of battles you take. Just because you have 50 battles doesn't mean you "deserve" someone of a high stature or that you deserve more credit than others who battle less frequently. That just means you don't have a job.

Also the DNA debate was about skill level rather than battle rap ability, and I think Dre and Big T harped on the fact DNA is hard to beat. Once they balked at Clips> DNA, I knew the discussion wasn't gonna last long. I think DNA is a much better battler than rapper. He's not a good rapper to me. He's a very generic punchline rapper. Lux is a rapper. JC is a rapper. Brizz is a rapper. Verb is a rapper. Yung Ill was a rapper.

Only thing Mook the greatest in is hyping himself up. None of the actual fans or battle rappers buy that shyt but industry nikkas convinced he is for some reason (nostalgia?).

Not to sound like a hater but battle rap has changed a lot in the last few years. If Mook was to stand on SM6 with the same performance vs Iron I'm dead ass convinced he would get booed tf off stage. Nikkas aint have the patience anymore.
