So I've finally got around to watching this long ass video. Such a beautiful moment :mjcry:

Corny people standing around with phones. :stopitslime: These are exactly the type of people that don't need to be around the culture and frankly, are just vultures wanting to be in the scene (while not noticing that they're fukking up the vibe).

I love everything about this video. Hip hop at its core is about the DJs/producers. I love how they (particularly Swizz) would rework the track into some crazy rhythm.

as I've told Coli posters before, you gotta put respek on Swizzy's name. He murdered Kanye in 07. What makes you think he won't kill Just? :comeon:

When this nikka put on this track:



I was :damn: :dj2: :stylin: My first time hearing the song ever. I was like: "This can't be new X! :damn: Must be prime X. How did I miss this?!" @darkmanx

Turns out it's on Ryde or Die Vol 1, which I never heard outside of the singles.

Swizz has a lot of misses, but when he hits, it's such a unique energy. Warrior music.

That Ryde or Die Vol. 1 :wow:
When we got to that track (last on the tape :flabbynsick:), we rewinded that joint about 10 times. I miss that X :ohlawd:

Rewatching part of the video again: Just Blaze starts out winning but somewhere between 45 min and 1 hour 30 min in, Swizz just smashes on Just. At that point it's over but drags on for another hour.

Swizz played more quality bangers in that set (almost twice as much)

Across their entire discog, the reality is that Swizz got more great beats than Just. Just Blaze got more 'decent' beats than Swizz given Swizz's crazy hit-miss ratio.

Swizz could've played:

DMX - No Love 4 Me
Eve - Gotta Man
R Kelly & Cam - Snake (remix) --- this would've shut the place down.
Cassidy - Hotel
Cassidy - Get No Better
Beyonce - Check On It
Chris Brown - I Can Transform Ya
Jadakiss - Don't Eat

vs

Just:

Young Gunz - Friday Night
Jay-Z - U Don't Know --- terrible oversight on Just's part. it's a top 5 Just beat.
Song Cry - never cared for this song but it has its fans
Camron - Welcome to NY
Freeway - Flipside --- another terrible oversight.
Memphis Bleek - Round Here
Ghostface - The Champ
Foxy Brown - Art of War

good thing it wasn't Fraudye on the decks. When y'all discover that Swizz got more memorable tracks than Kanye, some of you would really commit dat :whew:

Swizz won because he did his set better...not because Swizz has more great beats.

Swizz was battling...Just wasn't or maybe he was trying to but choked. Swizz was doing what u supposed to do in a dj battle...Just gave up or he let the pressure get to him. Swizz was steadily talking shyt, rhyming to the lyrics....Just was just playing music. Swizz outdid Just in showmanship.

I agree with your point. Swizz came to battle and Just didn't/folded. But Swizz also has more great beats.

I think that just wasn't as much excited as swizz since he's been doing such battles/showcases for quite some time (tour with alchemist, various beatmaking showcases / sets on the radio...).

That's why I was more curious to see what swizz can bring to the table and he did it well.

Swizz also understood which beats were meant for a beat battle. He knew which tracks were going to get a response.

Just wasn't going win regardless. Swizz's catalog is stronger. On top of that, Swizz's shyt is more warrior/battle/upbeat singles, which works better for battles. Just is more comfortable dancefloor shyt, and after he got away from that dancefloor shyt, he's mostly in album cut vibe.
