RZA vs Premier IG Live Battle

[spliz]

That and RZA playing a record he didn’t even produce and honestly probably not even realizing he didn’t produce it
And RZA thinking he was dropping unreleased Nas and not realizing it came out on LT2
And I could be wrong about this, but I thought RZA believes Nas Is Like was from Illmatic

RZA shoulda dropped Highly Favored off LT2 if he was gonna play a joint.

Man, D'Evils just reminds me how much of a genius Preem is.

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

This would be dope.

I've been saying Erick Sermon and Marley Marl should battle too.

I've been pulling for Sermon vs Quik, personally

Sermon is giving someone problems though.

I think it would be a better idea to put Sermon up against someone with a similar sound.
otherwise you’re going to get wildly different takes on the battle.
Sermon vs Hav
Sermon vs Pete Rock
Sermon Vs Q Tip

YES!!!

My favorite rap song of all time but as a purest in a beat battle, I don’t know if I would play it when someone basically did that beat a full two years prior with different drums.

It’s crazy that Cream and Triumph didn’t make it in the original 20

I strongly believe it was 19 and 20, he only pushed them back because Swizz told them to go beyond 20.

 

[Controversy]

I had Rza winning but it was close

 

[mobbinfms]

Who from the west could go up against Quik?
Dre would be a Suicide mission.
Muggs has too different of a style.
Daz? Battlecat? Ant Banks?

Love how RZA followed up with Long Kiss Goodnight.

Two of my favorite producers ever. What pisses me off is how waay too many of you niccas diss RZA. But he showed y'all how dominant his run was as a producer. Versatile as hell.

Wish he would have played...

State of Grace
Faster Blade
Reunited

And a few others

Preme is a helluva producer

But RZA...........

 

[noodles]

Mann if he dropped Ice Water and started cuttin up the Rae verse goin at Biggie..

These are the levels now..

We need Neptunes involved..

Erick Sermon is arguably Top 5.

The EPMD catalogue alone kills most shyt. So I would be cool with him battling Quik. It has to be somebody that has a serious stash of classics. Erick has been doing it since the 80's, and dude is right up there with anyone if you're going track for track with classics.

I had it tied at 10 but did not count the bonus tracks because they should have had them in the main rounds.

Here's the deal, both are in my GOATs and I have them in my top 5 easy, but Rza's beats and production still sound fresh to this day while some of Premo beats sound dated. Don't get me wrong he got flames and should have brought them out yesterday, but Premo is a beatmaker and Rza is a producer so there is going to be a difference. Everything from the kung-fu samples to the sped up chipmunk sound last night sounded fresh and still innovative. Premo's beats were just a great NY sound if I make any sense. Rza was more consistent and if he would had picked the right beats regardless what Premo would have used it would have been a wash.

I enjoyed it very well and I thought they both did their thing, the only thing I thought was mind boggling was Come Clean losing to Brooklyn Zoo (Even though Rza co-produced it). Come Clean should not have lost at all

Craziest part was the fact it wasn't the hooks we were vibing to
We were going crazy off dope rap verses
