[3rdWorld]

They were going at it for hours.

That's a lot of pre-writtens to remember.

Let me guess, theres no known recording of this right.?

No.

It was an article written in either the Source or Vibe.

I'm trying to find it.

I made a thread about it on AllHipHop.com and if I find it, I'll make that thread here.

Never heard Rakim battle rap

im sure he was getting bust back in the 80s

 

[MidwestD]

not really somethin he needed to admit

he thought he killed 50 when he said "bytch I'll pour syrup in your vitamin water"

Never heard Rakim battle rap

practically all the respected emcees back then came up battling.

and for what its worth, chill mitchell was on tv-one on the corner that he, rakim & others used to rap on.

If it's true about Wayne's ghostwriters then I would think he's probably not that great of a battle mc unless he's freestyling and practicing regularly. Funny thing about Fredro's Nas comment is I remember reading an interview with Nas years ago (around the time of It Was Written I believe) where he even stated "I used to freestyle all the time... but now I suck". So he has a point that some people are good at a certain aspect of rhyming and some aren't whether they fell off or were never good at it.
