Tony D actually did very well in this.. I like his ideas and the Wallet/Pocket line was niice.
But you've gotta look past all the punches n shit like that, Illmac basically put "You ain't done the shit I have" Into all his verses.. Which is right.
This is what I don't like about battles these days - Punches ARE NOT everything; And I think Illmac realizes that because his career is so long now, he has to spit some shit the crowd has NEVER heard before.. And to do that, he has to forget about all the whack, played as hell punchlines. (Punchline - Is just basically a word for "Use this played concept and just make it fresher than last time")
Illmac's 'Drafted for the league' and 'Pullin out the ladder underneath' lines were BIG! And alot more complex than all of Tony D's lines put together.
