Who did it first?

[DontEemTry]

Brehs, can we document which battle rappers were the first to perform the shyt we take for granted in battle rap today?

Who was the first battle rapper to...

1. Use a slogan
2. Slow it down aka sub titles (gotta be Con right?)
3. Use a prop
4. Make an imaginary call to Smack

mook was using "eazy" back in the dvd era back before slogans was even thought about, same with the imaginary call thing as well. i believe mooks 1st round in the serious battle when he said something like i "i was getting some head, then got a call from smack". some shyt like that.

all that other shyt

Yeah you right about the Mook bein the first to call smack during a battle. First time I seen it.

But "easy" as the first ever slogan? Ionno breh

 

[dappadonna]

I know Aye Verb did the

"Aye verb vs Math Hoffa *clap clap* "

*insert battle rapper* vs *insert battle rapper*

Intro first.

And Head Ice started the

"I said....." intro

Who started the "grown man talk" in the third round shyt?

I'm guessin it was X-Factor when he battled DNA

 

[I_Got_Da_Burna]

Actually, it was Serious Jones who did the imaginary call to Smack thing first.

 

[Kufismack]

1) Definitely EZ!!!!!
2) Don't even utter the word subtitles. Con has stated it was someone in SONS I forgot who, but they all kind of give themselves the creator tag. So as of now I'd just say con made it up.
3) No clue. Depends on what we define a prop as. You could even say Hollow slapping the shyt out of the pool table vs Ill is a prop lmao.
4) I thought mook started it.

 

[dappadonna]

DNA's bomb is the first prop I remember seeing

 

[Barmelo Xanthony]

QP Sons had the first Slow it down on cam, I forgot the battle he did it in

 

[Ethnic Cleansing]

EZ wasn't a slogan, in the sense of crowd participation... It was more of a sign off after his verse (similar to ''that's lite'')... Either way it was stolen from Cassidy, so fukk em'

5. Who started the wearing group/slogan apparel to battles

3. Use a prop
4. Make an imaginary call to Smack

1. Mook (whether it was crowd participation or not, it's still a slogan he used since forever)

2. One of them nyggas in the SONS might of been QP

3. Off the top of my head i would say Soul Khan (pulled out the documents on QP during the battle)

4. Mook (Serious did it first technically in his 1st round but it didn't stick with him, like it did for watchers that watched mook round, blame it on better structure, performance and conviction)

 

[MicIsGod]

Math started the 3rd round real talk shyt vs Rex.
