Well Daylyt said he was out of pills 😂

Wild that this was ten years ago tonight. I was there live at Hammerstein. As a long time part of the scene from the JumpOff and Grind Time days, I'd been the first mainstream journalist who actively followed the culture in New York and where it was going. I was covering the event for Village Voice, so I got there early with my buddy Dave (who raps under the name BS / TrustBS) and we were told the spot in the balcony overlooking the event was for "press." About an hour before the event went live, security brought some wildly overdressed people to sit around us and then checked and re-checked my credentials. Turns out, extras were hired to fill out the visible on-camera seats which is why the crowd was so weird for so much of that night. Of the ones in the "press" section I spoke to, none had ever watched battle rap before and only knew Budden from "Pump It Up." There were definitely dedicated battle rap fans in the crowd as well as active and legendary battlers in the building, and the other actual press that was there were writers who hadn't followed battle rap since the Jin days (their own admission, such a "gee whiz" tone to those articles) so they came late missing most of it and wrote from the far back of the crowd. But even the most tenured battle fans among us were completely gobsmacked by Daylyt's performance. It really eclipsed Ars' excellent show opening performance which would have been an ideal first few rounds to show any non-fan what makes a good battler so compelling. Joe Budden sucked so much, it was great to see him publicly destroyed. Hearing the non-fans suggest it was "2-to-1" or "close" was so weird. It makes me wonder if those hired to be extras were specifically told to lean Budden for the broadcast. It was definitely a memorable time though. Overproduced? Yes. The Total Slaughter show leading up to it showed who really wasn't ready for television. But it was an incredible platform and probably introduced the culture to thousands who hadn't seen our world at all before.

This whole thing was trash

Daylight trash

"The King of all Battles Rap Leagues" with one event 😂

Who TF was the audio engineer that put together this travesty? Ironic considering they are all in the music industry...Think it just speaks to how shoddy this whole thing was. Bunch of 10 grand paychecks and as little effort as possible.

JB was aight thou

The crazy thing is... Daylyt is lyrically better then everyone who was in a battle that night (minus mook lol).. 100% facts... idk what hes thinking i know its a gimmick but i guess he forgot what lux and marv said... hes still top tier.. and if you dont know.. he has one of the best diss tracks that they never played.. and im a huge Em/Shady fan... (you did me shady) check it out.. Bars for days.. and f*ck joe budden hes such a complaining b**ch and a traitor .. salty like game and jamar and benzino and the list goes on with every other hater that the white boy better than you ... stfu.. racist asses and he even helped you mofos how disgusting for you to be after all that. (notice how all the greats praise Em and recognize skill, yet only the bottom shelf hate on him... who the f are you lol yeah you know me but who the f are you.. in the words of cal scruby haha.. check him out too hes great

RIP Kay Slay

Y'all should make the face off a commercial!!!

Still got it 2-1 budden 10 yrs later

So as long as you got a pretty face you can be a knowbody with nothing to offer the world but a piece of Gods trees with writing on it and you get to beautiful women fuck this fucking world

Dude from California, you wasting my time....

Joe Budden lost hands down

Murda Mook 🔥👑🔥

Daylyt got me crying laughing rn

I need a Bigg K reaction video for mook and lux. That battle stinks on ice. Mook told Lux he mumbles (facts) and then did his own signature flow as a demonstration, also facts. Clown shoes, I swear people cheer for Lux because they think the bars are going over their head and they don't want to feel left out, theres nothing there to get, you're not missing anything, he just isn't saying anything. These the goats yeah? This half of rushmore? No wonder battle rap been dead. This whole event was embarrassing, I'm not even addressing the rest of the card.

Rex sucks 😂😂😂😂

bro needs a belt..

Ebro suck

I don’t think this is Biden’s handler. I think she did this to get the views point with standing this guy speaking in front of people still is ridiculous.

Mook got his revenge

That nigga said "im nicer than yo momma momma wit this grammar" ahaha

Your mum naked

Take a look at

I mean I hate mc jammer this guy isn't anything Lok wins carry on with your life

I hate Rap

I'm saying it. He bodied this. It's a tragedy he lost

See, this guy, diss guy's by wearing a disguise. 😮🙌🏼👑🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Like everyone else, I couldn't feel any of that crap from Loaded Lux 👎🏼

That guy next to Royce is annoying as fuck, he looks like he should be at a backyard barbecue with a bunch of kids baby sitting and drinking Bud Light

Thank you for presenting this event. I've been watching battle rap for years and never even knew this event had taken place. Biblical levels of talent featured. 😁

Joe Budden made every excuse in the world before the battle even started during his introduction speech 😂😂😂 he is so sad smh I’m glad he got cooked and not surprised

Mook own that stage! 🔥👑🔥

Daylyte refused to sell his soul. 🤧😓😢🤎🖤💯

Battle rappen is the highest form of snapping or as we call it in Jersey cracking on people come with your a game

Everyone wins unless you really bust i think the last battle was a wash

The crowd suck ass weak ass mfs smh go to show they don’t understand thinking

Why does battle rap have to be like this? Why can’t it be about skill not insults and threats

Ars keep talking about stop my time stop crying and rap

Wanna battle ?

Arsonal 🔥🚒

Ars is BEST period

Sway saved the energy as best he could…Joe was killing the atmosphere with all that slow dry humor…corny

Joe Budden 3-0

Daylit is too much man

Lux is ahead of the crowd
