RZA vs Premier IG Live Battle

[HNIC973]

This song was our shyt you grew up in the projects you felt this shyt

Most underrated song on the purple tape

RZA from 93-97 had the best run ever imo. But his best work was with a handful of artists on a handful of albums. That made his list kind of predictable outside of Maria and Run. Gravel Pit was wack to me. While Primo worked with dozens of artists. The only reason we talk about Group Home is becuz of his production

I used to rap a little and it’s hard to rhyme over RZA beats and not sound like a Wu member. While over Primo beats you can be yourself. A lot of work from RZA could be movie scores. shyt was just a dope moment in hip hop tho. Both of them nikkas showed off and I wasn’t mad at any of the choices

Word.

From '92-'96, my guys were always Q-Tip, Pete Rock, Premier, Erick Sermon and RZA. I was buying albums as a kid then, so I was also able to see the impact as these albums and songs dropped, in real time. But there were a lot of dudes at their best back then. That era was just special, it was the best time for Hip Hop because everyone was in top form. Primo and Q-Tip were the guys that kinda worked with everyone! My only gripe with RZA was that he didn't really branch out much away from the Clan. And for whatever reason, Pete kinda slowed up with the output after the breakup with CL. But he was no joke before that. Dude didn't put out one wack beat.

Oh

Amazing. IDGAF about scoring, we all won.

Side note: IDK if it was really her, but someone named "tiffanyhaddish" kept making trash ass, disrespectful jokes and shyt. If that's really her, I hope she falls and breaks her jaw so she shuts the fukk up.

was there a checkmark by her name?

I stopped trying to keep score after about Rd 7 or 8. I was just enjoying the ride after that, just as everyone else was. Last time I saw someone comment with a score, it was like 5-5

 

[Hugs]

This here.

All this "RZA won" and "Primo won" shyt is corny. How do you sit there and actually keep score when these dudes are blessing us and playing classic after classic? Dudes were really sitting there with scorecards like they were watching a heavyweight bout or something. This is Hip Hop, you're supposed to just be enjoying what they were doing for us, not keeping tally so you can come online and argue with other dudes about who beat you. Primo said it best last night, "It's just about coming on here and having a good time with my brother." A lot of "fans" don’t seem to understand that, it seems.

music fans have a sports like mentality towards things

Same here with me for all this breh. I was born in 81 so being the age I was these cats were like heroes to me. Definitely the best era from a production standpoint with every region having its own sound

Same.

Every dollar I had went to buying albums they worked on. Seemed like there was a classic album dropping every other week.

Dwyck > Criminology easily

 

[Sunalmighty]

We all have opinions but to me Dwyck is legendary. Criminalogy is amazing but it's like the 5th best song on the Purple Tape.

That's one helluva opinion lol

I agree. DWYCK is filled with quotables. Easily one of the most fun songs to rap along to

 

[noodles]

Don't think you guys understand the importance of DWYCK.. used to tear down hiphop concerts..

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

Shaderoom is so damn wack. They have managed to make IG thots and reality stars famous but didn't cover this legendary battle. Smh
That's ridiculous for the so called biggest urban blog

Let it be kylie vs alexis sky twerk off. They would've done 10 posts on it giving you play by play.

OR some 'lil' rapper yelling about who he gon kill next. They put those posts up in seconds flat

be upset that a blog that gossips about women didn’t post a hip hop battle brehs.

 

[Iamnutz]

There were no losers last night....we all (RZA,Primo & hip hop heads) won. I'm going to miss this shyt ..when things go back to "normal"
