adeem vs sage francis

[IIZIFEII]

@FudgeToyCrews think about it. Adeem rhymes pretty fast in this, it's insanely hard to think of a rhyme to the last line in about a second whilst rhyming at the same time.

[IIZIFEII]

Adeem's battles were written.

[FudgeToyCrews]

@IIZIFEII Bullshit

[Primal167]

I feel Adeem won this battle. That being said, I have both artists' albums and know that either one could have took the match up.

[LogoLives]

They need Adeem vs Slug.

[FightScienceAa82]

Round 2 they gave Adeem from 1:18-1:55 that is 37 seconds of instrumental. They gave Sage 2:02-2:37 that is 35 seconds of instrumental. WTF, that 2 seconds more is a lot when your in the zone, with an instrumental that get's cut short. Wack!

[TheDaveemann]

No adeem takes over!! how can u say that sage won!!

[Twistguy0]

Yea Sage Francis won

[MrBRODY605]

i don't give a fuck who won ! the whole thing was dope as fuck !

[Mothman354]

THE BATTLES BOUT THE FLOW YO>

[LikwitSwords]

sage won. i have watched this video too many times

adeem is amazing, but he has trouble finishing his lines, true shit

[nautic005]

This battle was over @ :25. How anyone could think McLovin won this is insane. Riding a beat isn't BATTLING! Punchlines from real freestyle should win. SAge was robbed, this isn't up for debate.

[aphterbern]

Adeem murdered Sage!

[mfraser30]

lmfao ADeeM came to my school for career day last year... he's the fucking man!

[Iluvcops911]

How you gonna hate on that beat, it's sick!

[mutedmakequiet]

worst beat ever for a battle between legendary emcees

[LikwitSwords]

LMAO!!!!! sage dissing his own DJ

[peeriscool]

Adeem dominated this battle. He would wreck any MC.

[idealreelz]

haha check out any song by Sage man! Makeshift Patriot's just scratching the surface

[dedb0y]

besy years for scribble wer 98 99 00. my oppinion

[seclios]

Sage has sick freestyles , this was a golden era for scribble until scribble 04

[bropey]

Adeems shit is hella written, but he does freestyle improv when he rebuttles i've noticed.

[ynot420x]

@bropey How do u figure?? unless he knew he would be facing sage in the 2nd to last battle idk how u could say that was written.

[peacespotting]

@ynot420x not sure if it was written or not .. the first verse may have been since it was so tight.. maybe he was just hot. however as sage pointed out in his rebuttle adeem rarely finished his rhymes when battling so i reckon sage should have taken it

[bropey]

@ynot420x iono i'm prolly just blurting bullshit, but it just sounds like it to me

[ynot420x]

@bropey It's the same thing with Juice,Eyedea and Adeem they're so good at freestyling ppl think it's written, but when u see them battle rappng and 90% of their rhymes are about the dude in front of them.I would say it's off the top just look at his other battles.

[bropey]

@ynot420x true shit, i hear it now

[Creixhitme]

Sage is a ridiculous freestylers...one his mixtapes all his freestylles are good enough that any other rapper could have passed them as written.

[smithk34]

Wud up ya'll... check out these K-Slang freestyles ( a whiteboy) ya'll will like it... thanks...

[AndrewColletta45]

adeems flow is fucking sick

[yukmouth23jayrich23]

Sage Francis should of won imho, and I'm not a fan of either.

[AllStyleNoSubstance1]

Adeem's got flow for days

[Iluvcops911]

I like how adeem ends his set right exactly as the beat ends, probably half practiced. Not bad though, still think the best line of this is "pseudoscientist slash poet"

[ElCh3xmix]

Mc luvin

[iArt1st]

@ElCh3xmix lol

[zapps221]

It was close, but Sage did choke at the end, so I could see why Adeem won. I mean.... Adeem had a faster and harder flow. Alright punches too. Sages punches were stronger, but his flow wasn't as hard.

[naryanr]

Man I really want to know what he was going to say at the end there :)

[xxyoshi86xx]

adeem didnt serve shit but that beat..just a few lil punchlines but mainly just flow...thats why its called a Battle...u come after ur opponent...n he just had nice word play n fucked with the beat but he tried to come at slug but most of his punchlines sucked so he noticed that so thats why he murdered the beat but not slug...MC'S focus on your opponent not on your rhythm

[kashmire666]

Adeem could school any new school battle rapper. I hate how all new battle rap is pre written bars and shit, freestyling is where it's at.

[RaidenTheAlmighty]

Honestly, Adeem sounded written. I know there are some really fast freestylers but Adeem just seemed too fast IMO.

[bobtheyob]

@RaidenTheAlmighty it is written.

[RaidenTheAlmighty]

That's dirty. I love watching written battles between two top tier guys. It's just really sleazy to bring writtens to a freestyle battle.

[BasementKilling]

@RaidenTheAlmighty I think ADeeM was the only one with the written

[RaidenTheAlmighty]

Yeah, but I think it was really easy to get away with back then. People would just hear really great lines and not think about if they were written.

[Fudgeyer]

Adeem is amazing

[bythEthroAt90]

i am a huge Sage Francis fan, but Adeem Served him here.

[OJmastersz]

since when do they let terrorist rap?

[gallo1234321]

@OJmastersz what does that even mean? are you saying sage's beard makes him look like a terrorist?

[OJmastersz]

@gallo1234321 I was joking. why do people take shit so seriously on youtube.

[gallo1234321]

@OJmastersz because it's youtube and more often than not people are really fuckin stupid. it's good that you're not actually that dumb, but i've seen much stupider comments that were written 100% seriously

[OJmastersz]

@gallo1234321 lol i know what you mean. people talk dumb and they back up their shit even when they are wrong like if it was the end of the world.

[BasementKilling]

@OJmastersz That was kinda low

[Obsoleteliss]

Yoyo guys, if you <3 underground hip hop or are currently and hip hop artist/freestyler im making a 100% underground hiphop site, check it out, keep hip hop alive!!!

therealundergroundchurch.webs.­com/

[xXLIVE4THEMOMENTXx1]

adeem must be one of the fakest, wanna be rappers of all time. im tryin to get into his shit cuz im from the 219, but i cant feel it.

[jerrrrrrrrrrrr]

sage is funny as fuck

[RoughDraftSolo]

Whats the name of this instrumental?

[TehCorTEH]

IDK WHAT GOES ON IN MOST OF THE DUMBASSES HERE.

but adeem clearly won. sad to say (im a major sage fan) but sage got ripped on.

adeems flow, delivery, and creativity, made his 30 amazing.

[easy2rem83]

@TehCorTEH Yes sirr i love sage but he got killed!!

[funkapotamus1]

fuuuck adeem can ride a beat like no other.

SAGE KIIIIIIIIIIIILS!!!

[Sagefrakrobatik]

I love the rastafarian look he gots going on though

[hdfjg]

whats that track in the back. does anybody know

[PooorMeAnother]

Wicked spin move Sage

[sissorscutpapper]

adeem kungfu chicken dance wtf

[Gamebreaker2887]

Adeem is the worst champion in Scribble Jam history. He flows like water, but recites a bunch of prewrittens, hardly ever rhymes and has the lyrical ability of a fourth-grader. Sage got jerked............

[rubelcon]

@Gamebreaker2887 - really? how so? adeem has one of the purest flows to be dropped at scribble. Don't like style much?

[sourdeeznuts]

HOW DID ADEEM WIN THIS????????????? I STILL DON'T GET THIS AND IT'S ALMOST BEEN A DECADE.....

[verbaltag]

francis murdered him, sure adeem had some nice rhymes but he didnt respond, francis has punchlines, flow, dope rhymes, and he responded to what adeem said with skill sage francis straight up murdered it

[BasementKilling]

@verbaltag Adeem didn't respond because his style is written

[verbaltag]

@BasementKilling kinda was implied when i said adeem didnt respond XD

[BasementKilling]

@verbaltag Whoops

[xXbeastXx1991]

why are people saying he writes his battle rhymes? that would make no sense how would he know who he battles scribble jam is usually off the head cause they can never predicate who exactly there going to battle

[l4p3m8]

does adeem even rhyme it sure doesnt seem like it, he does have a problem finishing his rhymes

[1MrPink1]

I hate when people accuse MC's that they write their shit yet you have no proof.

[SailxVortex]

0:13 Pump fake. lol

[Richizdabest]

Adeems is prewritten otherwise it would have been good

[ThoughtControl]

@Richizdabest

Adeem doesn't write battle rhymes. period.

[Richizdabest]

@ThoughtControl Not the whole thing just like the two decent lines he says

[thedizah]

Why does adeem look so much like Iron solomon? i guess all white people look the same, but adeem is way better

[wanpopstikle]

yo adeem riped him

[dudekillzz]

adeem is not prewritten haha

=[

atleast i hope not.

[MOSTtheJACKAL]

One of the best battles I have ever seen. Cause it's soooo personal!!!!

[BabyKillinDeathDeala]

how do i find a copy of this to put on my ipod 

[Schlaktad]

yeah adeem is always prewitten! fuck no. c'mon shut the fuck up you punk hoe

[Brandon4256]

theses guys are great rappers

[AgoSanti93]

idk adeem sodomized the mic lol

[brocksteddy87]

adeem is written

[LukeNukem182]

@brocksteddy87 Yeah deff, it really pisses me off.

[LukeNukem182]

@brocksteddy87 Most certainly :( You could see the dissapointment on Sage's face. If Sage was getting ripped by something he thought was freestyle he would laugh and go with it, but he knew Adeem was slapping his passion across the face.

[ah1productions]

@InfiniteGuy67 Sage is an absolute beast, your 12 and you dont know shit about spittin, or making music, I would love to see you in person tryin to beat Sage at his own game you little ungrateful bitch, shut your fucken mouth

[cico24730]

adeem shit is written.. i think

[niadic]

adeem spitz writtens this aint off the top man lets be for real

[1975dentonj]

lol sage can flow but wtf is with the western shirt lol

[Smileyfacedkiller]

adeems flow is disgusting

[TheDailyToker916]

@Smileyfacedkiller Thank you!

[LuCaRiOfan94]

man im not gonna hate on either of them cuz their both good, obviously. but holy fuck. adeems flow is on another level. i dont know if i feel his lyrics so much but no one can ride a beat quite like him..

[supertails5588]

no crap he came wit personal stuf itz a battle if dey go e-z itz der fault nt urz

[Cypha1250]

sage

[InfiniteGuy67]

sage francis has the skills at freestlying of me, and im 12

[Israeli3030]

@InfiniteGuy67 and adeem wrote 90% of his verse. free styling is not easy,

[th4nurdc0r3k1dd]

@Israeli3030 I think that he had the flow already made up in his head, and he thought of the words when he was on stage.

[brenchen]

@InfiniteGuy67 you do know he won the year before. you really think you're better than him? -_-

[RockmaFartbox]

Looks like a battle between evan almighty and that nerd from super bad

[RockmaFartbox]

It looks like a battle between even almighty and that nerd from super bad

[llaves973]

lol no matter how many times i watch this they bugged out

[the20hunk]

adeem had the better flow but flow aint shit , you win battles with punchlines

[MuseFan288]

I much more prefer adeem I don't like Sage's style that much.

[TorchError]

2:40

HE BO BUPPPPP

[ervywere1go]

Ooo sage got told at the end

[interloperftv]

"whoohuuuh yes yes! ...stress"

sage's genius at work

[SchiThug2CE]

dudes check out: Makeshift Patriot by Sage

Its friggin good song!

[ateskone]

nah. theres much better sage songs out there. and if you're just figuring out about that song then you needa do some more research.

[SchiThug2CE]

tell me some of em then

[ateskone]

@SchiThug2CE do some research and you'll find some. look up his sick mixtapes...sickly business, sick of waiting, sick of waiting tables, sick of waging war, still sick urine trouble. hes got so many good mixtapes if you do some research. and personal journals is an awesome album.

[aabcdefghijake]

Still listen to Personal Journals.

[Quake2815]

@SchiThug2CE Doomage is another good one. MF DOOM beat.

[verbaltag]

@SchiThug2CE dude that was the shit that hooked me on francis

[Wordskeet]

@SchiThug2CE duh

[deftoned516]

regardless of who won.

hands down,

adeem can lyrically ride a beat like no other!!!!

loveeeee it

[GoodWoodSkate]

@deftoned516 its really easy to right a beat and flow. you could do it.

[animosityDK]

Let me break this down.

Sage has a pretty decent start. Talking about his DJ, which is also his own- funny. He drops the "problem finishing your lines" bit which is obviously true. And off the top of his head, the no sex in a year joke.

Adeem comes, full on misses a rhyme. Then he rides the beat with an OBVIOUSLY written verse. He does the same shit in the next delivery.

Sage comes back and COMPLETELY flips his style. The pseudo-scientist/poet bit is on point.

Winner: CLEARLY SAGE.

[Doorsfreak128]

Hell yeaH!!!

[JAHamilton77]

@animosityDK I have searched and search and finally found the stupidest post on YouTube

[peskyasshole]

ricearoni you're a faggot

[Ricearoni80]

Sage obliterated him. That second verse was absolute murder...from him imitating Adeem's predictable flow + nonsensical and irrelevant lyrics, to his pseudo-scientist slash poet line...

[MarlMan51]

@Ricearoni80 did you listen to this at all or are you on sages dick that much

[Ricearoni80]

Yeah, I listened to it. Unlike you, I'm not a full-fledged, babbling idiot.

I don't even like Sage. But Adeem is absolutely horrid. He just rides the beat, forces rhymes every once in a blue moon (usually doesn't even bother finishing his lines), and "insults" every single opponent the same way.

[illuminated775]

adeem is dope

[animosityDK]

lol @ dumbasses who vote down my comments cause they know adeem got beat. i've seen adeem freestyle... and this is not a freestyle.

get smart kids

[animosityDK]

Man you kids don't know shit. Adeem is a badass emcee but he doesn't freestyle. He doesn't finish lines, and he writes most of his shit. Sage actually improvises and comes up with shit on the spot.

Adeem just amazes everybody with his flow.

[animosityDK]

listen to sage man.

"You tried to finish my line... you didn't know it... this kids a pseudo-scientist slash poet"

that's awesome. you can totally tell adeem writes most of his shit.

[korotash5]

gotta agree with oyu buddy oyu can definately tell when someones freestyling and someones spitting writtens and adeem is quite obviously writing his shjit

[StacieWacieee]

Sage got owned.

[sublizzel]

Turn around, I burn ya sound! LOL!

[cmks2]

Whats the beat???

[JayJizzay]

Kool Keith- F.U.M.F crazy beat!!!!!!

[TheHumanTurkey]

crazy killers... love it !

[jblasz84]

gotta give love to Sage but he got killed.

Adeem melts every mike he touches in a battle.

[N1kkon]

adeem wrecked this one

[ktizz16]

adeem is fuckin tight...sage is just talkin into the mic adeem actually has flow not to mention he is from the 603!!

[dbrochu19]

adeem looks like a geeky fuck

[jabbarcks]

The whole scribble jam 2001 was weak..everyone fell off

[Tivowatch23]

Nobody has a better flow then Adeem

[IRAiiNx]

Brother Ali has better flow then adeem

[OldSchoolApprentice]

if i was Adeem i would spit some line about sage lookin like bin laden with the beard and all xD it would be funny

[swervediggz]

this scribble happened right before 9/11

[LuCaRiOfan94]

damn i love adeem's flow

he can ride a beat, that's for sure

[bobtheyob]

haha my comment got voted down for saying it's lame Adeem uses prewrittens not to mention he's a geek that tries to rap like hes gangster. Accept the truth....

[ThomasRolinger]

eh, maybe he does in freestyles, but if you've ever listened to any of Glue's albums, it's as far away from gangster rap as you can get. Freestyles are all about disses, but it doesn't showcase the true artist.

[dnon75]

Adeem sounds like such a white trash loser.

[perpetumdebile]

Sage was way better here...

[josh000068684]

first rule sage broke: Dont diss the DJ

[guppygould]

It's his DJ! He even says it in his verse verse right afterwards, it was a joke.

[cornhunter]

adeem rinses sage and i rush to sage hes generally sick or weird as fduck

[bobtheyob]

adeem clearly uses prewritten lines, don't rate him at all because of it.

[jamesMATE1234]

yeh i rekon ayy

[KILLAMIDG3T]

sage is sick but he SUCKED here

[vmozik]

I was at this show, it was in Cincy, Adeem beat Macleathal in the finals. Sage Francis and Adeem both are great accomplished artists with exceptional music.

[OM3N1R]

@ Mrgibby: Scribble Jam 2000 (maybe 2001?). Anyways, back when Scribble Jam was worthy.

[koolgasp]

You talk like you know shit, but you don't even know that there's no Scribble no more

Noobski

JK, (K)

[MrSeltzerwater]

hes my dj tooo lol

[realsiq]

i think sage should have won this year

[thefonz559]

wow adeem reamed sage this year lol

[staphinfection]

Sage got robbed... Adeem was still great that year though.

[swervediggz]

adeem fuckin killed him right here what the fuck are you talking about...robbed? i know tons of cats that have seen this ive never heard any say that shit

SOUNDS LIKE SOME DICKRIDIN

go jerk off to your makeshift patriot Lp

[thedibit]

@swervediggz you really can't tell that adeem's shit was written? really? it's fucking obvious. just as obvious as eminem writing his back in the day.

[MrGibby3000]

where is this at?

[yunggun44]

2 great rappers....adeems gotta sick flow

[Tiaolie]

2 very different styles!! 2 dope mcees!!

like them both!!

[illlryical187]

pureaggression suck a dick, adeem has a sick flow

[TACO817]

these ppl fuckin suck

[elpapaya94]

adeem's flow is getting annoying as hell, he's not even sayin shit.

[pureaggression]

sage went all soft, and unserious on his first verse and then adeem returns with some straight personal shit like wtf??? then sage finishes him

[TheSrealist]

wats this beat

[afreeman69]

Sage Francis,homie is crazy nuts with those sick ass lyrics! Adeem got schooled big time.

[PirateNori]

are we watching the same battle?

[afreeman69]

Let me break it down for you Homie.If you watched the battle and listen to the lyrics carefully,i give it to Sage hands down,he was coming with knockout blows,Adeem was all over the place and had trouble finishing his lines.I hope i'd answered your question.
