    Finesse is one of my favorite MC’s of all time but besides his one slip in round 3 Percee P absolutely ripped it to shreds… Ahhh hip hop, seeing a battle like this brings back sweet memories..

    This is incredible stuff. I sent this to C-Rayz and he flipped his wig. Great post.

    percee rocks… but i don’t think percee is freestyling… sounds more like written lyrics, especially with the other guy doing the adlibs… you can see finesse is really freestylin’, always thinking about what to say next… mike

    I’d give Finesse the win because he was freestylin.

    actually both of their lyrics are written. back then most freestyles were written. personally, finesse took it
