@vjake13 make me the greatest rapper ever in the universe better than eminem and i want the ability to attract any female and sweet talk anyone with my silver toung and looks i wanna be smarter than everyone and i want 18 billion dollars okay?
WHO CARES ABOUT THE DAMN VIDEO..ITS ABOUT THE AUDIO
'i got so many ways to diss u that im playful with you..i let a razor split you till the staple stitch u and everybody in this place will miss u while u tryina turn my facial tissue into a fuckin racial issue'
i could type the whole freestyle but youtube probably won't let me...
@skenny513 Not in 1997 they weren't. It gradually became more and more accepted to the point where true "off the top" freestyle battles were viewed as irrelevant. Today, it's widely accepted to use writtens in battles, so people think that they always were. Or when they hear someone like Nocando go off the top, they refuse to believe that it's true freestyle because it's too good to be true.
I've always been a eminem fan, but I always was under the impression that his battles were 100% freestyle of the top. The razor stich you lines were clearly written. He's still talented, but back then, NO ONE used written lines. If you did, then you were a fraud. That's the just the way it was back then. But I still love eminem, but you can't expect to beat someone with writtens if you're freestyling. Especially when it's their best lines.
@kadafi67 yea he did use a couple lines that were written in the beginning to get him started. he was freestylinig off the top a little after. you can tell because he copied the rap style of his opponent.
@kadafi67 lol u know how many people he battled? so what if he recycled a couple lines u dont think nobody used the same line more than once or the flow of a used line? hes still the shit
NOW SAY EMINEMZ A BAD RAPPER...O THAT'S RITE U CAN'T CUZ HE'LL MURDER U LIKE HE DID TO THAT BITCH WHO FACED EM IN '97 IN THE RAP OLYMPICS!!! EMINEM WILL ALWAYZ B THE BEST RAPPER!!!

Rap aint bout rhyming, u got beat, flow, rhyme, and (if a song) chorus and a hook, its very rare to find a person who can do all, then theyre fucking beasty
Eminem's problem is that he was so tied up in drugs, he fucked up his life even more by taking himself off them, he majorly lost his beat, but he can still freestyle alright
the i got so many ways to dis you im playing with you was used in another rap battle that i saw on youtube....just saying idk he reuses rhymes cuz ive heard him say other stuff in 2 differnt songs
@StrangeJady i rap a lil bit so i can tell ya why sometimes they do tht cuz it kinda like stimulates ur brain for thinking of rhymes...u know or usually i just think of my first 6 bars it just is kinda like a jumpstarter
Your an idiot. THIS IS NOT THE RAP OLYMPICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Give the credit where it is due, this is scribble jam, the original. Created by Mr. Dibbs. Bow down and get it right.
not trying to hate on Em or nothing cause i'm as big of a fan as the next guy but if you look up EMINEM - 1997 Rap Battle and Scribble Jam 97 eminem vs choc, he uses some of the exact same lines that he uses in this video. maybe im wrong but i thought this was supposed to be freestyle. one of the videos he even says something like "i know this sounds written but it aint"..... just an observation.
@lildertygangsta its a way to become a complete rapper, anyone could write some shit, but freestylin and battling make ur more complete if u get what im sayin
i can understand people complaining the Eminem went comercial and sttuff aint as good as the old....but he's still has great songs and great rhyming abilities, and is arguably the best rapper (along with Nas) currently.
He said that line before! In a different freestyle he said " I have so many ways to diss u that I'm playful with u, I'll let the razor split u till they have to staple stich u!" in 1997 he faced someone said the same thing but ended differently by saying " u r a wack liar, there all your white jokes just backfired"
@jakeycakey2008 oh sry :O i did not know :P ... u know i am not in america :P i am just in a boring country so i don't know alot about em ... maybe he is the second but all what i know that he gut talent
all what i can hear from eminem haters is that : BLA BLA BLA BLA ... and like he said :u wanna judge him cz ur not him ;)" and what ? u gonna say he is not a real MC? yea that's why he did win the rap olympics and becam the first rapper , the king of rap and if u hate him will shut up and u know respect u got to give him :)
im tired of folks sayin em is fukkin mainstream bullshit cuz if he didnt go big he would jus be another wanna be that nobody really listens to, i mean honestly who hear would even be watchin this if he never got big ?
@jdaqua129 he said wat if, so imagine life if he did sleep thru and m,iss it and he never became a famous rapper and dre never heard him at the rap olympics and never wanted to sign him so that we never heard the great lyrics he writes and he couldn't afford a proper lifwe for his kids
