Okay tech spits dope shit but i have to admit this time he got destroyed. the other guy talked about what tech said, so that proves he was actually freestyling. Good strategy.
Young hungry rapper shit. I love it. These are the moments that get frozen in time. Always wanna see and never gets old. Big up Iron Solomon and definitely big up Tech!
He could have made that up.. where is the proof or video footage that he actually smacked him in front of his mom? If it happened he's lucky its a yte mom.. if solomon was Hispanic his mom would have shoved her chancla up techs a$$
If there was a 2nd round he could of came back But they kind of prematurely ended the battle None the less I'm pretty sure unless tech spit some ridiculous ass mind bending shit Iron Solomon would probably still win
trust me when I was in high school all I did was listen to Immortal Technique I remember watching this battle when I was still a teenager and being stunned this battle represents to me a changing of the guard from rappers like Technique and Eyedea and Brother Ali who primarily made music and battled on the side to rappers like Solomon and Thesaurus and Illmac who battled full time and made music on the side also that “why you always talk about aborted fetuses!?” line was and is still hilarious and painfully accurate
Same bro this battle right here got me into battle rap. I searched on TH-cam because I watched one of the documentaries made by technique, it said that he was a battle rapper. Instantly i looked for it, this is the only video i could find of his and he got smoked lol.
On wax / studio albums Immortal Technique is the far superior emcee but in this battle Iron Solomon served him badly here. Immortal Tech and his crew of label mates were just being sore losers after this battle.
Ah man. I fuck with immortal. His tracks are dope no contest. Lyrics, message, style all real. His battle thing though, damn. Most of it was verses off his songs too. dang
Damn Technique got scorched there,and just by 6 bars. Dag!! But that was one of his early days overzealous moments where he let his emotions get the best of him and paid for it. Aaron was quite the underestimated Jewish rapping opponent then huh? Classic underground rap Footage now.
Yeah but iron had his credibility stripped by mook.. his battle rap game hasn't been the same after and not as good.. think he had yo drop all the clever stuff cuz people could tell it was pre written .. once he goes off the dome you can see it isn't as hard as before...
These hosts didn't have any vision. This is what Reed Dollaz, SMACK and Murda Mook and the OGs in this game be talking about. They were doing this and became legends doing it at a time when people weren't already paying attention to it anyway. You had the own hosts of the battles on stages discrediting the culture. Now everybody's watching. You had to be something special to get millions of views with this,Ppl coming for battle rap, ppl were coming to see they favorite MCs like platinum artists.
@JOHNDOEX11 this is wayyyyyyy before madness. his name isn't even Iron Solomon yet in this battle. it's AM Boogie or somethin. Hey where can we find this whole battle though?
They only let solomon spit 3 lines cuz the crowd was laughing to much. Tech said his own name "immortal technique" about 5 Times and then proceeded to spit more writtens. In terms of freestyle, reaction, and delivery solomon killed him. However solomon will never be as relevant or respected as technique because techs studio career is unparalleled. Solomon regardless is easily in the top 10 battle rappers of all time. So it makes sense why he'd decapitate tech
Jeremy Mangum...”techs studio career is unparalleled”?!? LMAO 🧐🤦♂️😝 3 albums in the LAST 18 years?!? NONE of which even got A FOURTH of the way to making GOLD?? 😳😆👎 (The 2011 Martyr FREE download compilation album don’t count).
@JOHNDOEX11 thats a bummer. I would love to see this thing start to finish. sounds like an absolute rout. i just love it when the overconfident favorite gets knocked the hell off his high horse by the newcomer with mad skills
In this round, I think Immortal Technique brought it, but Solomon was just funnier. Sometimes, being funnier can win a battle. Props to both MCs though. They're both dope.
what the hell are those HOSTs talking about? It was a battle. This is HIPHOP! They talkin about this is the last time blah blah blah....damn what the hell ?!? Is that really in New YOrk??? Where they KNOW its all about the impromptu battle? Man come on now!
@joe14636 correction. Puerto Ricans are residents inhabiting the island of Puerto Rico, not a race. That's like saying Italians belong to the Italian race.
How old is this? And why are the hosts acting all weird about the battle at the end like they don't want that shit happening. Hip hop was evolved from battles.
@bob builder actually I can argue that every line was a rebuttal from Iron. And it was obviously off the top of the head because he stutters thinking about what to say. Immortal, however, used a line from one of his songs (the line about hijacking a plane and what not). Trust me I like Tech too but it's pretty naive to claim Iron Solomon was using writtens.
where da fuck was this at and when?? them kats hosting was all scared and worried bout sumthin poppin off....it was just a freestyle battle and i like Tech but the homie Iron Solomon snapped and it was the shortest battle i ever seen......lol
When you're freestyling it is inevitable that a line might come out twice. What's important is the impact and personal stuff. Iron spits that in every battle. He knows how to hit guys where it hurts and make them laugh at themselves they get they're ass handed so bad. Personally I don't think I've ever heard a freestyle without any recycled shit. The rappers "freestyling" on hot 97 are the worst offenders. Iron wins every battle i've ever seen him in.. UNTOUCHABLE
....respect to solomon...for even havin' the nuts to battle immortal tech....i hontestly would like to hear a mixtape with both them niggas in it....i think the shit would be mindblowin.
Looking at him today, Tech has grown a lot. Good thing he isn't as impulsive anymore. "And now I stare in to the future with a spiritual flashlight Wondering who the fuck was me in a past life Bad diet, fuck raw, die young, fast life. Same as a crash flight that took off when the music died on your last night."
The thing is, Immortal's verse wasn't actually half bad. Iron is just clearly a better freestyler and as a virtual unknown, no one was expecting him to stick it to Tech that savagely.
holy shit.....as someone whos been watching battles for 10 years i've never seen someone who is the favorite get OWNED so hard.....and I've got 2 Immortal Tech CD's sitting in my CD tower so don't tell me I'm biased lol
Solomon definitely won, however it's all about the music, and Tech is lightyears beyond any battle rapper, Solomon included. It's why Tech stopped battling at the right time.
That was all pretty Amazing, and big ups to EO dub 4 speakin on how it's all about the lyrics not shittin on each other. Not that I don't enjoy a dope battle but it's a positive message they sendin nah mean nah mean?
Okay tech spits dope shit but i have to admit this time he got destroyed. the other guy talked about what tech said, so that proves he was actually freestyling. Good strategy.
Danny Mac_H Town Yeah, like when Iron battled Murda Mook. Oh...wait...
Did Iron win?
Then why did you ask, can you not write?
Also a benefit of going last
hell ya
Young hungry rapper shit. I love it. These are the moments that get frozen in time. Always wanna see and never gets old. Big up Iron Solomon and definitely big up Tech!
Technique instigates a battle, then he gets destroyed. You can see the humiliation in his face. I thought he was about to throw a punch at Solomon.
He does watch iron Solomon vs murder mook Mook literally put him on blast saying that immortal socks him in the face in front of his own mother lmfao
He could have made that up.. where is the proof or video footage that he actually smacked him in front of his mom? If it happened he's lucky its a yte mom.. if solomon was Hispanic his mom would have shoved her chancla up techs a$$
@@sal2417 kinda lame if that's true...Tech shoulda just took the L with grace
@@sal2417 Just goes to show how much Iron emasculated him, Tech played himself both in the battle n out of it..
Technique just got murdered
I am a huge Tech fan but this is not his best moment.
dvall1000 He can't rap battle. I have found that out :)
If there was a 2nd round he could of came back
But they kind of prematurely ended the battle
None the less I'm pretty sure unless tech spit some ridiculous ass mind bending shit
Iron Solomon would probably still win
Agreed. But 3rd world is still my favorite song and album and he still my favorite artist.
Tech is a good battle rapper but his style is very aggressive and Iron just laughs that type of shit off
He gon cry in the car.
Lil Ze...YUP!!! 😆😆😝😝😎👌👍
trust me when I was in high school all I did was listen to Immortal Technique I remember watching this battle when I was still a teenager and being stunned this battle represents to me a changing of the guard from rappers like Technique and Eyedea and Brother Ali who primarily made music and battled on the side to rappers like Solomon and Thesaurus and Illmac who battled full time and made music on the side also that “why you always talk about aborted fetuses!?” line was and is still hilarious and painfully accurate

I'm 5yrs late but yeah i was obessed with Tech. & Iron with that fetus line. Lol Respect to both of them this was a good battle.
On wax / studio albums Immortal Technique is the far superior emcee but in this battle Iron Solomon served him badly here. Immortal Tech and his crew of label mates were just being sore losers after this battle.
Ah man. I fuck with immortal. His tracks are dope no contest. Lyrics, message, style all real.
His battle thing though, damn. Most of it was verses off his songs too. dang
Why is this dude sayin battling is a negative thing? It's hip hop...?
Cameron McCaffrey it is not to inspire people tho. You can inspire people with hip hop. But it’s not for that.
@Cameron McCaffrey 👏🏼👏🏼 wow
@Cameron McCaffrey and it's probably the purest form of hip-hop that dates back to Coke La Rock himself........ definitely a positive
@Cameron McCaffrey The thing is there are all types of angles you can go in a battle.
@Cameron McCaffrey I’m 2 years late but tech shouldn’t have been popping off with the battle shit if he was gonna be a sore loser lol
did that really just happen? did they really just stop a battle cause iron solomon shit on him so hard
Lmao
This clip right here got me into battle rap, I'm so glad for seeing this
2 lines that rhyme, then; "How you gonna fuck ma' girl? That's yo' MOM!"
LAUGHED SO HARD.
Damn Technique got scorched there,and just by 6 bars. Dag!! But that was one of his early days overzealous moments where he let his emotions get the best of him and paid for it.
Aaron was quite the underestimated Jewish rapping opponent then huh?
Classic underground rap Footage now.
Yeah but iron had his credibility stripped by mook.. his battle rap game hasn't been the same after and not as good.. think he had yo drop all the clever stuff cuz people could tell it was pre written .. once he goes off the dome you can see it isn't as hard as before...
Immoral Techgeek got destroyed on his own home state, lmao!
You obviously don’t know who Iron Solomon is! NYC battle legend.
every 2 lines: "YO IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE" just in case you forgot
easiest shit Solomon ever did.
this is the last time you're ever gonna see that.......famous last words considering how big Battle Rap is now.
I feel like I'm going to get robbed just watching this. Keep looking over my back and touching my gun lol
2 of the greatest emcees go up...great battle
I like how Solomon just chillin in the back, he knows in his head he's about to say some mean shit.
Tech started some shit then lost the battle...kinda embarassing
Iron Solomon killed him with that last line damn Tech should of not ask for that bonus round. WOW
Iron Solomon a top tier battle rapper.
Tech is ridiculous on wax, he got bars but he aint a battle rapper, simple as. He lost here
ScarzChosenspokesmen that's how he came up was in battle rap. doesn't matter how skilled he is he still is a battler
he legit freestyles, most battlers dont.
That's just how it is sometimes u win some u lose some. Don't matter who u r but there's always next time and keep ur head up high.
IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE STANS ALL OVER
when I clicked on the video, I expected Immortal Technique to win, but he got killed...damn
Tech got smashed and it wasn't even close iron s. Made him loom like an amateur
Why were the hosts so uptight lol what was their problem?
And those are his greatest tracks.
These hosts didn't have any vision. This is what Reed Dollaz, SMACK and Murda Mook and the OGs in this game be talking about. They were doing this and became legends doing it at a time when people weren't already paying attention to it anyway. You had the own hosts of the battles on stages discrediting the culture. Now everybody's watching. You had to be something special to get millions of views with this,Ppl coming for battle rap, ppl were coming to see they favorite MCs like platinum artists.
Immortal Technique finally found out he was just a MORTAL. Solomon Ripp'd that guy,nuff respect.
Hahahaha they had to call a TKO on Immortal Technique and the judge was straight up "I don't even like that battle shit it's played out."
Who was the host of this battle? Uncle Ben?
Lost respect for Tech then. Iron Solomon is a top battler. He was chewin him up n he didnt like it. That was embarrasin!
You need to rethink and rewatch immortal now and you will see your ignorant ways
+John M 6 years and 11 months later, Tech still took an L lmfao
Solom sucks in studio though... On the other hand tech's studio albums are top notch
@JOHNDOEX11
this is wayyyyyyy before madness. his name isn't even Iron Solomon yet in this battle. it's AM Boogie or somethin. Hey where can we find this whole battle though?
This is the earliest video of him using the 5 mics line.
Iron solomon, chilled out till his turn. boy wrecked it.
Choose your battles carefully....THE ART OF WAR.
They only let solomon spit 3 lines cuz the crowd was laughing to much. Tech said his own name "immortal technique" about 5 Times and then proceeded to spit more writtens. In terms of freestyle, reaction, and delivery solomon killed him. However solomon will never be as relevant or respected as technique because techs studio career is unparalleled. Solomon regardless is easily in the top 10 battle rappers of all time. So it makes sense why he'd decapitate tech
Jeremy Mangum...”techs studio career is unparalleled”?!? LMAO 🧐🤦♂️😝
3 albums in the LAST 18 years?!? NONE of which even got A FOURTH of the way to making GOLD?? 😳😆👎 (The 2011 Martyr FREE download compilation album don’t count).
GoldenAgeSk8Video just cause the shit ain't mainstrean and tech ain't a money whore doesn't mean his albums weren't gold.
Out of all that said, I.T. got smoked. The end
theyre all just pissed solomon killed technique. solomon kept it real. fuck yeah
@JOHNDOEX11 thats a bummer. I would love to see this thing start to finish. sounds like an absolute rout. i just love it when the overconfident favorite gets knocked the hell off his high horse by the newcomer with mad skills
In this round, I think Immortal Technique brought it, but Solomon was just funnier. Sometimes, being funnier can win a battle. Props to both MCs though. They're both dope.
Dam that was good props to the both
every great rapper has he's day
Nobody's perfect.
The battle that made Tech fans everywhere butthurt. Classic.
ShinigamiblackFYS23...YUP! #TRUF 😳🧐😝😎👏👍
Solomon took that shit for real
what the hell are those HOSTs talking about? It was a battle. This is HIPHOP! They talkin about this is the last time blah blah blah....damn what the hell ?!? Is that really in New YOrk??? Where they KNOW its all about the impromptu battle? Man come on now!
they both were dope
Damn dude he had tech from the beginning plus the advantage of going 2nd
@joe14636 correction. Puerto Ricans are residents inhabiting the island of Puerto Rico, not a race. That's like saying Italians belong to the Italian race.
How old is this? And why are the hosts acting all weird about the battle at the end like they don't want that shit happening. Hip hop was evolved from battles.
solomon made an example of tech
This was in like '01. It was probably the first time Solomon used the 5 mics line.
Some rappers are beast writting others freestyling, here we ahve a perfect example.
@bob builder actually I can argue that every line was a rebuttal from Iron. And it was obviously off the top of the head because he stutters thinking about what to say. Immortal, however, used a line from one of his songs (the line about hijacking a plane and what not). Trust me I like Tech too but it's pretty naive to claim Iron Solomon was using writtens.
Most was free, but some repetition. The "five mics in a gay orgy" line was used against Madness, but not sure if this came first.
Who won?
A capella!
where da fuck was this at and when?? them kats hosting was all scared and worried bout sumthin poppin off....it was just a freestyle battle and i like Tech but the homie Iron Solomon snapped and it was the shortest battle i ever seen......lol
What year did this battle take place?
"shit is played out" Smack URL, KOTD, etc isn't played out. LOL
Although Solomon won, I still think Technique came nice with it. Dope battle.
I completely agree and have said the same thing to people about Technique.
me too exactly -.- i was like whoa whoa!! calm down nigga dont bring that up
that's kinda how Eminem would kill I.T
Tech said his name fifty times as a crutch he got Nasty tracks but his battling subpar in this one
look at solomons hat he got that subway swag
ya yo as soon as i heard him say that i was like wow he said that shit before
When you're freestyling it is inevitable that a line might come out twice. What's important is the impact and personal stuff. Iron spits that in every battle. He knows how to hit guys where it hurts and make them laugh at themselves they get they're ass handed so bad. Personally I don't think I've ever heard a freestyle without any recycled shit. The rappers "freestyling" on hot 97 are the worst offenders. Iron wins every battle i've ever seen him in.. UNTOUCHABLE
Thesaurus touched him nicely back in '05, though.
He didn't lose, he got his "Ass handed to him cleverly" by "Iron".
....respect to solomon...for even havin' the nuts to battle immortal tech....i hontestly would like to hear a mixtape with both them niggas in it....i think the shit would be mindblowin.
Tech used his "freestyle" verse in the song "The Cause of Death".
The one before got them more loud than the abrupt ending
DESPITE OF ALL THESE IMMORTAL IS MORE GIFTED THAN IRON SOLOMON
@MinnesotaJDM howd it go down dude? why was imortal technique all mad dude? di iron kill em on the mic?
Looking at him today, Tech has grown a lot. Good thing he isn't as impulsive anymore.
"And now I stare in to the future with a spiritual flashlight
Wondering who the fuck was me in a past life
Bad diet, fuck raw, die young, fast life. Same as a crash flight
that took off when the music died on your last night."
The thing is, Immortal's verse wasn't actually half bad. Iron is just clearly a better freestyler and as a virtual unknown, no one was expecting him to stick it to Tech that savagely.
What song was techs verse from cause I heard it before
Iron took it here..Gotta give it to him in this one..Big PROPS to I.T. for not taking it serious...He knows its all in fun..Gave dude a prop after ...
immortal went barking up the wrong tree and a fucking coca nut split his head open haha
I never knew this happend
@slikdarelic lol. what year?
holy shit.....as someone whos been watching battles for 10 years i've never seen someone who is the favorite get OWNED so hard.....and I've got 2 Immortal Tech CD's sitting in my CD tower so don't tell me I'm biased lol
I would like to see the whole battle, and not just the last bit.
I love Tech BUT he earned dat ass whoopin lol
Not dissing, just making a point. He's a funny ass dude. Completely fair in a battle.
Solomon definitely won, however it's all about the music, and Tech is lightyears beyond any battle rapper, Solomon included. It's why Tech stopped battling at the right time.
I love how Immortal basically wanted to grab a crowd win and Solomon snatched it from him without mercy . . . with a few sentences.
That was all pretty Amazing, and big ups to EO dub 4 speakin on how it's all about the lyrics not shittin on each other. Not that I don't enjoy a dope battle but it's a positive message they sendin nah mean nah mean?
@joe14636 "Ricans" are residents inhabiting the island of Puerto Rico, whether they are black, white, indian etc
LOL!!!! Iron Solomon fucking killed him xD hahaha
@anwaro Solomon's 5 mics/gay orgy line was recycled, but Immortal's "hijack a plane and fly it into your house..." was from his album.....
Why the hell are there TWO hosts...YELLING...at the SAME time. Wrap it up and let the rappers rap.
how a host not a fan of battle rapping ?
@soul4tran I know right. It;s like he's worried someone will get in trouble if the battle goes too long haha
What were they talking about at the end? Dude was getting pissed or somethin?
I love it how Solomon only had to say like 3 lines to beat him :D
Immortal technique kept saying his name over and over lmmfao!!!!
Ronnie Gee...signs of desperation...Let me “big up” myself over & over into the crowd to convince them I WON..🙄🤦♂️😝👎
HAHA Iron when he went around as AMBoogie
daaamn solomon had some SIIIICK ASSS LINESS,
Nope. That was trash back then too.
in an interview immortal technique did say he was more aggressive back then
