MC Battle Blog

An insightful guide to the entertaining world of freestyle rap battles.

The battles from the Portland New Year’s Eve event were judged by myself, TheSaurus, Okwerdz, Al-One and DJ Nykon. As we were faced with some really thin decisions throughout the event, we definitely anticipated confusion with regard to the judging.

Who do you think won it in 3 rounds?

New Year’s Eve Wrap Up!

On January - 4 - 2009

First of all, to those of you who missed the event: SUCKAZ!! Obviously the shit was beyond retarded, but that’s to be expected when you link together Cali, Washington and Oregon on one of the biggest party nights of the year.

Unfortunately only 3 battles popped off, but they were definitely above average and well worth watching.

XT Vs. Young Nate was another solid match up with both battlers coming well prepared. A few of you disliked Young Nate’s antics in his last battles, but they were a lot more toned down in this showing.

9DM Vs. Illusion-Z was definitely my favorite battle of the night. Each round was really close with a few small factors determining the overall winner. Both battler’s game plan seemed to be to target very specific things about one another and stick to it throughout, and with both of them being very complete battlers, the final verses were very sick. I can’t wait for the footage.

Franco Vs. Ex-I I somehow remember the least of, although I know it was definitely a good battle. Damn alcohol.

After the jump we’ll have tons of pictures and event recaps from those fortunate enough to be in attendance.
