The further I go back watching these battle raps the realer they get. A lot of the battle stuff now is writtens. But here they’re riffing off what each other said. I know everything evolves but those were the golden days.
2:39 "yo the way you treated that girl was wrong ever heard of chivalry?/ I guess that shit is dead sorta like your delivery/" Sage is a fool 🤣 well deserved victory
Zaul-Zan yo that shit was funny as fuck! My boy instantly said, "dude, that's Sage Francis" and I was like oh shit this is gonna be interesting. And it was! Can't believe Ali beat out Eyedea the way he did, but the line "at least I got a tape" blew the roof off that joint.
Oh man, it was a long time ago. I remember Eyedea was killing it at the beginning, he beat out a couple guys so bad it was like they should've stayed home.
NeuralNetProcessor I understand. It's just, for us younger people, we have no video and might not ever know all the people and performances at these. I'm still mad as hell SJ 1998 is mostly nonexistent and Doseone's run through SJ 1999 is almost entirely missing. You know anybody who might have gotten footage? And I seen the full battle where Eyedea made Prime give up. I don't think that's ever happened in another SJ battle to date.
All in all, I always thought hiphop was about unity over racial boundaries. Judging from the comments on this video, shit is twisted 'cause people want credit and glory so much that they're being blinded and can't see the real cause the whole culture has been working on. Wake up sleepwalkers.
yeah i agree, proof is when he battled eso at superbowl 99. Sage seems like a different rapper here (no one was good at this scribble besides Bro Ali and eyedea)
Good thing a fight didnt break out then huh? lol I guess we are all lucky it was a battle. Where is Kimbo Slice!?!? By the way who would have taken Sage if a fight did break out? Homeboy is a former R.I. Kickboxing Champ and Muay Thai trained fighter. Do the knowledge chump!
sage francis was ridiculous. this reminds me of the freestyle battles after lunch in my old school. blueprint's written stuff is so much better, and he sucks at freestyle battling. sage was weird as hell. eyedea is always pretty good, and near the best but brother ali shook this shit down.

"Scribble Jam, you wanna prove that you were here? I'll give you a fucking footprint in your chest as a souvenir!"
*Fuck.*
Sage francis battles all the rhymesayers mc's
"Scribble Jam. You want to prove that you were here? ill give you a fucking footprint in your chest as a souvenire."- Great fucking line
Rymesayers had all the talent at scribble back them
2:39

Sage is a fool 🤣 well deserved victory
Haha sage rockin a metallica shirt and wins the tournament thats awesome
"I thought only EPMD looked good in those fisherman hats" haha Sage was funny as hell

Did you see the entire tournament?
Do you remember, by any chance, all the other battles that aren't on video?

@x0Bio0x It's off of a Pete Rock Album called "Soul Survivor" but I forget the name of the song
Don't force it, don't fake it, you can borrow it but don't take it. Don't force it, don't fake it, you can borrow it but don't....break it.

Saukrates - Father Time. I'm sure you know it by now mad years later. Peace

lol at the guy at the end who thinks Sage is gunna drop "You suck it"!!
Nah he was saying Sages hometown, wasakit, or however he spelled it, cause sage just mentioned it in the battle
yeah i agree, proof is when he battled eso at superbowl 99. Sage seems like a different rapper here (no one was good at this scribble besides Bro Ali and eyedea)
sage had a wig on? lol
@Mplay1983 lol, ideal... eyedea?
If eyedea and Ali are the best 2 there why did sage win? He deserved he destroyed everyone including Ali
Sage Francis is fuckin godzilla!!!
How did Ali "win" against eyedea. Eyedea destroyed him.
wats the first beat
Liquid Swords by GZA
@rice2099 supernatural??
@RyanThaGod tight!
Good thing a fight didnt break out then huh? lol
I guess we are all lucky it was a battle.
Where is Kimbo Slice!?!?
By the way who would have taken Sage if a fight did break out?
Homeboy is a former R.I. Kickboxing Champ and Muay Thai trained fighter.
Do the knowledge chump!
@BlahBluBlu69
i agree. but yea ali vs sage francis was the battle.
you're crazy
WOW! you are the 2,955,677th person to say that. do you have anymore original ZINGERS!
those rounds were too short
sage francis was ridiculous. this reminds me of the freestyle battles after lunch in my old school. blueprint's written stuff is so much better, and he sucks at freestyle battling. sage was weird as hell. eyedea is always pretty good, and near the best but brother ali shook this shit down.
How dafuq is blueprint/sage francis in the finals when Eyedea and Ali was there! all of my whats
Vendrick Sage Francis was somewhat of a genius
U
I think Brother Ali did better than Blueprint in my opinion
Why are people still riding Pac and Biggies jocks? They were good for their time but so many rappers have come out since then that have tighter flows.
it's not MetallicA it's MetalfukincA ,believe me I use to have the same T shirt
white folk perfected it (perfected what)? Hiphop aint about the color of your skin. O, by the way, have you heard of Aceyalone?
yea, i hate blueprint, he's such an ass...i saw him live and it was just sad...i love sage, bro ali is sick too...but sage kills
sage francis woulda got his ass whooped he could probably take brother ali 1 on 1 now imagine someone else jumps in?
hahaha genetical entree
no.
blueprint sucks
sage sucked... ideal should have won.
First learn how to spell Eyedea then stop dissing another dope MC.
9ofOne You are a decade late, bud.
