Rocafella freestyle battle

[Ominous]

I am shocked I don't see a thread about this already.

I have to give Swann a little bit of props. Most people would have folded the way Bais was killin him. I was waiting for the Prince B. PM Dawn look-a-like diss but it never came. The Rubbon S. and Bone Crushers mom got together diss was even better. Swann didn't go after the fact that Fury was blind but I don't think he did it out of respect or because he was trying to show he had enough skill to kill him on another angle. I think he knew Fury had a bomb he was waiting to drop as soon as someone tried to spit any "you so blind" raps.

Like Jay Z said....its all about flow and wit. And Memphis said it best..."my man is blind and he is still spittin."

Blind Fury was all wit. How the fuck do you let a blind dude fuck you up on the mic? The only thing I think sucked about his performance was all that gun talk...he is definitely not gansta and the only one who shot one good line at him was nightlife. "....Blind Fury. Even if you win how you gonna find your jewelry?" Nightlife was no comp and he slayed Swann. Come on man, he calls himself Swann...that is as gay as gay can be. Teal afro pick?

The fact that he was droppin lines like he could see is what made him so fuckin funny. He dropped a line about Swann wearing the same shirt for 4 days. Comedy. He can't even see him wear a shirt for 4 days and he dropped that line. I new he was gonna fuck a few of these guys up right when I saw him in the line up.

Me and my girl are going straight t hell because we couldn't stop laughin. From what I can tell, he was born blind so even though he that hip hop sound, I don't care how much gear you drape him in, he didn't have the style and the mannerisms of someone from the street spittin. It didn't match...like when you see an asian gu acting like he's was born and raised in Compton. Just watching Fury spit was fuckn hilarious! How many times did he say:

HOLLA AT YA BOYYEE!

where/when was this.....

 

[Ominous]

MTV on Saturday afternoon. I didn't know anything about it either. I was on my way to wash clothes and I saw the Jay Z interview right before the battle so I sat and watched. You gotta watch it for the sheer entertainment factor. I am sure they will rerun the sh*t like they do all their stuff. MTV is killin hip hop but you might as well laugh at it cuz you can stop it..yuhknow?

They had eight guys they supposedly gathered from a nationwide radio battle talent search. None of these guys were worthy of the prize which was a record deal and $25,000. The show was just a big plug for Rocafella and its upcoming albums. Jay performed opening up the battle but they never showed him with the rest of the Roc crew during the battle.

The only cat I would have bought an album from was the blind white guy - Blind Fury just to hear what kind of sh*t he was talking. He had some of the funniest lines to me. I wish I could download a transcript of the show cuz I can't remember all of the lines.

Go to MTV.com to see clips of the show.

Ominous you are right about that cat Blind Fury, the gear was there but the style wasn't. Except for his rhymes though, my man was ill with his. I agree when Dame Dash said that Furys rhymes against Swann weren't completely focused on him, but still Fury shoulda got that round. Bleek looked like he was a str8 fan of Fury lol. Freeway looked like he was just there to do what Dame told him to do. But did you peep the crowd boo when Fury lost?
