Legendary Rap Battle

If you haven't seen this video already, check it out. This is true hip-hop, shows what it was all about before all these fags started babbling about crack and cars in monotone voices.

Indeed, I wish Finesse was on Percee's new album; instead, there were a bunch of average rappers.

This was taken in 2003. A video with the same two guys, Lord Finesse and Percee P, having a rap battle. I believe it was filmed on the same block, even.

That's some nice shit right there. Few and far between in hip hop at this point. Nice find.

cool. one of my best friends down here is friends with percee p

although i have to ask, why is this a "legendary" battle? i mean, it's awesome to watch and sounds great, but it's hardly a battle isn't it? i mean, it's all very obviously written and memorized, with their boys doing the punch-ins and shit.

It's mostly legendary cuz it's Lord Finesse and Percee P, who are legends, but also because I have heard it talked about as a classic example of a hip hop battle but never been able to actually see/hear it before.

It's cool, but it seems like a concept more than a battle. Like a way to put music out without actually going to the studio, on a street level. I don't know. They're legends, but it's like a pro-wrestling battle to me. But it rules, anyway.
