NY Battle Rap Is Back! Murda Mook vs. Iron Solomon (Video)
Posted by Mikey Fresh under videos[21] Comments
(*Disclaimer* I know Smack battles and URL battles never left but they haven’t been getting this kind of main stream love.)
The excitement from the recent Summer Madness 2 battles is currently the real talk of New York City. Forget whatever new music is out, or concerts are going down. The most relevant NYC rap debate is Loaded Lux vs. Calicaoe, specifically Lux’s historical third verse. The Harlem rapper pretty much destroyed his Detroit rival’s whole persona. Listen carefully, because Lux actually sh*tted on alot of “thug personas” many of today’s ‘street rappers’ live by. We have a bigger post on that on the way. But for now, check out another epic battle from Summer Madness 2. Two big names in the NYC battle circuit faced off for a wild one. (Props to Brian “B.Dot” Miller, who I will be battling in Summer Madness 3)
Watch Loaded Lux vs Calicoe after the jump…
Even Jay-Z shouted out Lux on Twitter today!

WHAT??? Fam, Lux was crazy the 2nd and 3rd round!!! You must’ve tuned out after the first. I have never heard anyone say that. Even the other battle rappers will say Lux is crazy lyrical and has punchlines. But sometimes our short attention spans (when I say our, I mean you but not personally) won’t listen for the drop. *charlemagne face* LOL. Mook’s 3rd round was his best but his first one exposed Iron for the tough voice to beef up punchlines. Mook 5-0 Lux 2-1.

This stuff has too much theatrics. I’d rather watch a real theater production, or go watch performance art in a gallery. This isn’t rap to me. Murda Mook did an entire bit that was from the 8 mile movie, when Em(Mook) disparaged himself before his opponent could. That was so corny I had to turn this video off.

Talking about 1 nut rumors.

Getting post the theatrics that was a killer final verse for Lux. Its funny seeing Puff and them wild out over it when THEY do so much in this mainstream game to push that “persona”….what really is wrong with being a cable guy?
Great question.

Taking nothing away from Smack and Beasley and the URL crew, respect is also due to the Grindtime and KOTD leagues for playing a big part in blowing up the battle scene in recent years. (and KOTD’s latest battle, Head Ice vs. Pat Stay, is much better than Mook vs. Iron IMO)
The replay value on Lux vs Calicoe is bananas. All-time great battle.

I musta watched Lux last verse like 10 times today….man dat shit was dope, had meaning and was said with conviction…”Yo Pops wasn’t no gangsta…he was just a lost NIGGA”

I am like totally feeling this too see how young black men can use their minds… All the battles have meaning and power. That Lux rapper had the dopest and most intelligent rap I have seen thus far. Hands down he is empowering these rappers… Show them the way…Lux
