gotta admire his FOCUS....he doesn't let the hype or his own punch lines distract him...he's very disciplined, it's clear why he's the best, he takes his battling serious...respect
2016 and im still watching this battle when freestyle was king. Both of them cats killed it but that three piece suit line...... battle shouldve ended right then DAMN
Thee two most memorable battle lines I've ever heard are this one and the rebuttle that Diz bodied A-Class with. The one that ended with, "but your girl thinks I'm handsome because of my Iraqi brow and the fact that I don't have to grab a snack every time I hear a cat meow." I mean, the crowd literally froze and felt the suffering delivered. It was like an atom bomb went off in between em. Go check that shit out too.
and to those saying he shouldnt have hugged him or gave him pounds....hey he was a great sport b/c u gotta be a terrible person to lie to urself that u aint losing this battle after all those killer punchlines...LOL
I couldn't agree more! Dudes trying to act hard like it's gonna make them look soft if they show respect to a SLICK line .... this shits battle rap it's not real life so no need to act like you about to get physical if someone cooking your
He WAS a beast this was at his prime.I lived in the lower Eastside when all this was hapoening..Tru Life..the ghetto inmates.7 dirty Trus brother ..p the Blame . Screw they were all young an hard as rocks..it was a GOOD TIME!..you had to SKILL.
I come on youtube like 15 mins before I go to bed, every time I see a recommended video for and it's solomon. I end up going to sleep 3 hours late and I'm late for work.
I can't decide what was funnier about that "3 piece suit" line: the punchline itself, Shirt N' Tie falling onto him knowing he got owned, or them dude in the background hollering acting like they won some championship when they heard the line?!
ahhahahah who the fuck calls themselfs shirt n tie hahahahaahhahhahahaha i watched this laughed at it then the next day in class i started laughing hard because i remembered it and came back to share it
He even got away with complementing him at the and. "You might be tall, dark and handsome ..." when he isn't even ... Pity rapping. That's how hard he was taken out, shit.
Even Shirt n Tie knew how out of his league he was. How many times did he shake Solomans hand throughout both vids. Like "man your really fucking me up here"!
It doesn't really matter. Rappers often re-use response sequences to launch into a verse. You'll find if you study any rapper they have certain sequenes or "licks" they reuse with some variation to stream together rhyme schemes.
After the first round, Shirt and Tie knows he has no chance ... and so does everyone else. Giving props to Solomon for those scorchers was the best way to save face and show he's not a sore loser. And it worked ... he somehow came out of this hatchet job with his dignity. This is the best Solomon battle I've seen, hands down. A little rawer than his usual nursery fare; overly-forced punchlines (i.e. "alien penis") are kept to a minimum; plus, some of his best lines were clearly freestyled.
He did freestyle this shit.....some people are smarter than you give them credit for. Plus, if you pay attention, he rebuttles shirt n tie every round for most of each round.
