Re-watched this again last night :ohlawd:

Some things I noticed. It's clear Just Blaze won this battle. I'm actually shocked the Coli thought it was even. Blaze just had too many hits and was the better DJ. The way he would start with the sample and flip to the beat was nasty. Swizz near the end lost steam musically, his beats started sounding repetitive, his cuts on his records weren't smooth at times and subtracted from his overall performance, and he was mostly pumped up by his crowd and his own enthusiasm. Just Blaze on the other hand gave a great performance from a DJ perspective, and he actually cut a few of his turns short when he could have easily kept going and poured it on. At the end of the day Blaze was a better DJ and had better songs, just TOO many bangers executed TOO well.

-Just Blaze is super humble on the tables and Swizz is super cocky. Interesting contrast in personality.

-Alicia Keyes fine self in the background :ohlawd:

-That sh*t turned into a legit house party. Sh*t looked LIT.

-That dude that kept adjusting the knobs on Swizz's board, bro wtf are you doing this is a DJ battle. Swizz had a damn assistant :heh:

-That stretch where Swizz played "He's fake" for two minutes straight, sub-no-sub towards Blaze :leon:


Overall a great battle. Sh*t is a classic. I'll probably watch it every few months.

Just Blaze got smoked and I still can't believe it. Maybe he needed more prep time but he didn't pick the right songs.

I find it funny that those who were pro- Swizz in this battle were very critical of Timbaland playing R&B joints when he battled Swizz. Yet, here's Swizz in this battle playing R&B joints. Just Blaze hasn't even worked much with R&B artists.
