    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..

    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

  14. Mike G Says:

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