LMAO @ posting a battle from 17 years ago. PRoving my point even further

LOL @ now Mook replacing Lux. Fans are so fickle

>Was never a Lux fanboy
>The Footage shows Eminem battling amongst a crowd inside and outside.
>Lux style is too weird right now for me to even be interested in seeing him battle Em. Hollow would be right down Em's lane.

We aren't talking about his lyrics because your subject consisted of "Em can't battle in todays format." So stop dodging the question. Air headed comments don't phase me homie, so explain what you mean. I'm not here to prove you wrong I'm trying to get your point.

Can't be serious...have you ever watched Scribble Jam?



What format are you even talkin' about? TS or Smack or KOTD?

I really wish Em would battle just one more time...maybe Mook because Lux doesn't deserve it...Mook or Hollow

nikkas need to stop with this "so n so would get destroyed" shyt because y'all favorites are lookin' real shaky right about now


The era is different, stop living in the past when Em was actually nice.....that was 10-15 years ago....what don't you understand. If you can't see how the format of battling has taken leaps and bounds to Em's era you should never form an opinion on battle rap ever again. Marshall wouldn't survive, we got Dizaster if we wanna hear multi's with shock value bars all day.

Just realized I put the wrong youtube link in but w/e (Those 2 links are the same event.)

You're missing the key points of this subject Lyrical Professor. Plus I'm not trying to argue with cheer leaders so I'll wait for AIG to respond if he does. My argument is Eminem can battle amongst a small or large crowd format.

Em can do that in his sleep, he's performed in front of millions of people....how is that a debate?. All i'm saying is that Em wouldn't survive on a URL stage. He'd get booed out the building. It would be Diz being on a URL stage all over again. KOTD crowd would prolly lose they minds though no matter what that man said.

It don't matter the crowd, would he get booed out the building or gassed beyond belief....that's the real question that needs to be asked.

So you and Fresh have the same mentality so I'll respond. So basically when you say "format," you mean the lyrical tone that we have right now. And would his lyrics get him boo'd or gassed (like Budden/Lux/Rex.)

If he ever does it we'll see but I can't honestly see Em actin' like Canibus or Budden....but fukk what ifs...I hope Em did get salty and wants to battle Hollow..I hope he doesn't mean "im comin down this time to make sure shyt is in order"

Today's format is live on stage, prepared bars in front of a large crowd. He would be BOILED.

aight correct me if im wrong
but my nikka you sayin em would stand a chance cuz he used to battle like we JUST aint see reed get bodybagged by todd ? :what:

you sayin "i can't see em actin like canibus or budden" is based on what exactly? a gut feeling?

the crowd format wouldn't be a factor for em i agree, but the bar format would be a HUGE factor that i dont see him adjusting to :aicmon: i can easily picture him going the Absoul route and just using a bunch of nameflips

I think he could do fine on the format as long as he doesn't do a Budden and rap to an imaginary beat. The bars I dunno about. The material and the fact that he got money will help him. I'd be hyped to watch him battle again. His aggression needs to be there though. All industry rappers aka anybody who hasn't been in the ring in the last 5 years should look at Hollow Clips and Hitman and look at what makes them successful as complete battle rappers imo.

@TrifeGod

em and reed both come from different eras so that's a valid comparison, the same shyt that happened to reed could happen to em

my gut feeling is leaning towards him having the SAME outcome as other dudes who've tried it, that makes sense, why would i think otherwise, we've seen how that can play out more than once already

your gut feeling is leaning towards him doing the OPPOSITE, so of course im gonna ask for an explanation :manny:

but if you're not gonna answer anything i asked then we can just drop this convo :camby: shyt aint gonna go anywhere with the way you responding

and learn how to reply to a quote the right way :what:

I think the main difference would be what we saw in the Hollow Budden battle. Crowds are more on edge and the scales can tip faster than ever. Plus a lot of times particularly in the Total Slaughter event have no problem booing for some reason. Instead of not cheering for lackluster performance or bars, it's straight booing.

It's weird to mention Reed even though I get it. I'm saying it's weird cuz he just couldn't match in terms of wordplay and bars. It's like mix Joey's bars and Reed's aggression and performance and you get a competent battle rapper. The whole aspect of flowing kinda got lost by both. Should be more peaks and valleys to build momentum.

:troll:aiight..aiight...something did just hit me...the reason why these "retired" rappers/battlers don't fit in this ratchet setting is because the battle community is like a big ass family who has dirt on each other....Em really has no material to match with this Full House....it's like you and your clique crackin' jokes and one of em has a new friend that just showed up in the circle the day before and he tries to say somethin' funny and everyone is like :comeon:
