So, just prefacing that I was a huge Eminem fan when this came out, and saw it first day, but to this day I'm still bothered because I really think Lickity Split beat Rabbit in the first round of battles.
Rabbit definitely beat the Busta Rhymes lookin cat & Poppa Doc, but anyone else agree Lickity won their battle? All Rabbit did was show his ass... his rhymes to that point were generic at best.
It was close and the crowd was doubting, including you. but u know how it went.
The increase in human knowledge is the cause of the decline of religions.
Lickety definitely should of won. Lotto too even.
Now go home and get yer fuccin' shinebox.
I think Lotto beat Rabbit
shareWhat won Rabbit the battle was the fact that he responded to everything they said with accurate comeback disses. So not sure how anyone would think they should have won those battles.
sharethis. The "German" line - which had to have been improvised as Lickety only called him a Nazi a minute earlier, and to link that to his "worm with braids" appearance was superb.
The "how could 6 d#s be p#s" was both hilarious and a response to Lickety's taunting about them jumping him 6 against 1.
And "wickedly split lickety" has the added bonus of being a tongue twister, performed with such ease and confidence that it makes a mockery of the earlier "choke artist" claims.
So yeah, all that plus ending it by mooning, I'd say Rabbit won
Definitely Rabbit, the comebacks always going to be the best rap, plus showing his ass was class. People likes to laugh.
share“ All Rabbit did was show his ass...”
No, that is not all he did, the entire ending segment went over your head; Rabbit ultimately won because he stood his ground against a superior force and the crowd recognized that. At the very least his rhymes were equal to that of his adversaries but the fact that a skinny, trashy, broke-ass white boy had the nerve to get on a stage and face an ocean of haters, doubters, and most likely racially biased individuals (not a derogatory statement) won him the crowd, they recognized his talent and respected his courage.
