Wow...this is fucking insane...the quality is super clear here, rarest video I've ever seen on the internet of ems battle days...talk about an ultra ultra rare yugioh rap god card
@davidiii8753 I've seen this video dozens of times, but not with this QUALITY, it's the QUALITY that is ULTRA RARE. you must be a kid otherwise you'd remember what shit was like before 3G let alone 5G 😅😅😅😅😅
Better than the s*** now it was a spot on battle with a beat none of this pre written a capella b.s. with 6 months to dig up dirt on your opponent's by calling baby mommas and ex-girlfriends
And years later the three of them would make hip hop history and sell millions upon millions of albums together and tour the world. Ain’t no place like Detroit that did it like that
@@Dubmayer lmao no he didn't where you think they get the money for the expensive cars they drive,and goon skwad and d12 was litteraly at his performance this week
8 Mile its just straight out of this ! Legendary! You can see that Proof its actually the same guy in 8 Mile thats best friends with Rabbit. Its just iconic!
Devils Night was such an underrated album. Same with D12 World. But Devils Night was definitely the best. But did you know according to a lot of big Eminem channels on RU-vid, Devils Night was actually a mixtape? Which I find hard to believe because I distinctively remember buying it from Kmart lol. Unless there’s some Mandela effect happening
@@jamesdoakes4956 The Devil's Night album and Devil's Night mixtape are two different releases. The album came out in 2001 and the mixtape came out in 2015
Back in the 90's, I was part of a group opening up for Souls of Mischief at the Maritime Hall in San Francisco, and after our set was done, I was out in the crowd and a cipher started up. I loved to freestyle but was just decent at it. Even so, it quickly became apparent that I was better than the other guys who were rapping in the cipher - when my turn came around, I had a pretty inspired run, and when I was done, I got dapped up from a lot of people, including a bunch of black dudes - back then, that meant a lot to me as a white rapper, lol. Needless to say, I was feeling myself...but then the only other white emcee in the circle started freestyling, and within seconds everyone in the place was losing their minds. This guy was absolutely on fire - all that pride I felt disappeared, but not for the reason you'd think - I was actually so hype on how dope this guy was that I lost all interest in my own performance - I was mesmerized by this white dude's control of the human language. And who was it? You guessed it! It was Vanilla Ice. Just jokes, y'all. Of course, it was MC Double M himself. And yeah, he was one of the guys who dapped me up, so I'll always have that, lol.
Right before they hand Em the mic you see him look dude up and down, and you almost hear the gears turning as he writes in his head on the fly. Edit: I guess some people don't know sarcasm and jokes. This is a comment section, not comments on comments section. This is why I don't do it often. Folks like to put their OPINION on other folks OPINION.
Every one of these lines had been used in previous battles. Same thing that got him booed on most stages outside of Detroit. Eminem brought exactly zero titles home from other cities involved with the battle circuit. He lost to sole in scribble then went to finals because of double elimination and lost to juice. He lost his final at rap olympics. And he didn't do anything anywhere else. Eminem is one of the best writers of all time. Maybe the best. But the myth of him being a top battle emcee is blown out of proportion. He made a name for himself in Detroit. No where else for battling.
Someone should give this a digital cleaning. Cant hardly hear the em or kuniva when the crowd screams. Id like to hear all the lyrics from this epic battle
@@Maloney-ho6fb - Actually they were all friends before the fame. So Em did brought all of them along with him after he opened up his own label (Shady Records) and proceeded to make MMLP for the year 2000 and release the first D12 album back in 2001.
Went on to be the current 10th best selling artist of any genre world wide. Not an exaggeration, might of been led zeplin or some other similar group that he overtook for top 10. Making him the best selling hophop artist, can't deny facts.
He’s part of D12. Eminem’s group that he brought with him to fame like he promised them. He came back for his boys . That’s loyalty! Too bad em is woke now. He supports everything slim shady was against by supporting the left. But that’s his choice. Should have stayed out of politics imo
Life goals: have someone watch you do whatever you do and look at you the way that Proof looks at Eminem. Honestly, I think Proof was the first person to truly recognize Eminem's genius, and I don't know that any of us would have ever been blessed with the opportunity to hear Eminem if it wasn't for Proof.
This is an amazing and rare piece of music history! Anyone who labels Em a culture vulture needs to be shown this. The black community embraced and raised him. He was respected as a peer and not just an outsider. And he continues to respectfully give to the culture that made him despite a select vocal few. The same actually goes for Elvis if you care to look at footage of black people who actually knew, grew up with, or worked with him. Stevie Wonder referred to him as a “Caucasian brother” mid interview. His black female backup singers had tons of stories of how he would refuse to participate in events when they weren’t welcome. People tend to blame the artist for big record companies’ capitalistic agenda. They forget it is often the record company executives doing the exploitation of both black music AND the artist who is often being authentic. It’s sad how easily history is selectively forgotten. Besides, music should breed unity, not division and art is meant to be shared. Thanks for keeping and sharing the archives so we have a window of how it really was.
