Facts this verse was from either whatever’s whatevers… fuck it mixtape or the heir from the throne mixtapes he dropped around this time, both hosted by Dj on point wish I remembered the song off the top of my head
yo some of the comment are dumb as hell.. ali used written material in a freestyle battle and still lost if eyedea wouldve done the same he would've slaughtered ali
CLASSIC! OMFG! I haven't seen this since I was in 8th/9th grade and i'm 30 now...thank you for the memories. I was the biggest Ali Vegas fan growing up...never knew why he didn't blow up
Look at his video now and he talks about how Nas blacklisted him from radio etc because he sounded just like him. imo he sounded too much like Nas which is why he didn't blow up. He's like Dolph Ziggler and Nas is HBK.
Eyedea deserves his flowers, and he's one of my all time favorites. However, (and I hate to be that guy, but... ) Harry Mack is undoubtedly the greatest freestyle rapper of all time.
Ali Vegas was straight pre written and towards the audience as if he was performing a concert for them lmao. He forgot it was a battle. And that very first line- "these older rappers look tired as fuck" proves its pre written. Eyedea was his age maybe younger lmao
RIP Eyedea. That was a cake walk for him. One of the coldest freestylers ever. Side note: Remember when Ali Vegas was supposed to be the next Nas? I was surprised to see him in the Blaze battle honestly. But that's how you made it back in the day. Through the battle circuit. See: Eminem.
Ali vegas was blacked balled by the string pullers back then he was on the same label as nas also. ali speaks about it during an interview back in 2016. I think ali vegas could have been as big as nas but not the next nas there is only one nas and as nas said "ain't nothing new under the sun its never what it is but how it's done."
EYEDEA & ABILITIES, PERFORMED THAT TIME IN REVOLUTION, I READ ALL OUT IT, ACROSS THE STREET IN 08,,, SOLITARY LOTS OF FUN...........................sour skittle
Ali Vegas freestyle sound like Jay-Z and his written sounds like NAS ? Looking back, that style could only last could until he became adult then he'd have to distinguish himself lyrically. ,
ali thought this shit was a pre written performance battle lmao . honestly most this competition was people trying to sound good to get signed to badboy
Lots of people here got buthurt seeing this video. I guess when you are listening to a rapper, appreciate his music and then see him getting absolutely destroyed, that makes you sad and on top of that ignorant. If you can not see that Ali Vegas is spitting written stuff, you are simply wrong. If you can not see that Eyedea was better than his opponent in every aspect, you are just being ignorant.
@@HolyRollerTV "this cat knows he lost that's why he don't even look at me" this shit alone murdered Ali lmao cause he wasn't even approaching his opponent in the battle, he was battling the crowd
@@HolyRollerTV a don't think we're at a grammar lesson but ok, i never said Ali was wack, he may be a good rapper overall, i only stated that he definitely lost the battle
Why are people arguing over an actual battle verse spit by an actual GOAT versus this discount Joey Bada$$ spitting pre written Soundcloud level trash that doesn't even apply to Eyedea 😂
Ali Vegas mentioned this battle on "Theme Of New York" when he said "I lost a round but it won't happen twice". He also spit this verse on Shyne's "Bad Boy" beat. Also, a freestyle doesn't necessarily have to be off the top
u sound crazy as hell.... why do you think top tier battle rappers from URL, KOTD etc need months in between battles???.... Cuz they not freestyling.... It's all about #Barz
playboy kwa why you think none of these new cats have any longetivity. the industry is full of disposable rappers who's recycle beats and have no poetry in their lyrics. no creativity to even freestyle.. im sure most of them have ghost writers like drake does..
Dragos Vasiliu eyedea is one of the best freestyle battlers, he killed everyone in that tournament.. but what i meant is, i didnt know ali vegas battled... ali vegas is an underground legend when it comes to rap, not freestyle battle
