Thrilla in Manilla

I wouldn't say it's the best battle rap verse ever written but it's pretty good.

10 years ago when he posted that verse though...Yeah, it was incredible.

Now that I revisit it...The punchlines, wordplay, etc don't 'wow' me. It's the wording - specifically how he strings together multis , his use of slant rhymes, and overall readibility of the verse.

he fuck is good? ill crush ya hood like DEMOLITION PROS RACIN BY ON THE SCENE the HELL YOU SNIFFIN? COKE? TAKIN ICE? POPPIN E? if ur 'rapping circles around ANY SINGLE-POST its DRANK n' DRIVE (GOTTA BE..) Those rhyme lectures wouldn't be 'eye catching' pausin TELEVISION SHOWS w/ freeMASON SIGNS ON THE FREEZE So u betta call 'george clooney' be4 MESSIN W/ THE 'G.O.A.T.' cos theres not a LAME IN 'SIGHT DROPPIN ME'/ the CHECKs U GETTIN HOLD SEVEN DIGITS? NO! his only DAILY 'GRIND'? COFFEE-BEANS you being all 'over green' is only-cheese KEPT IN KITCHENS FO' adding TASTE TO RIPE BROCCOLI so the BREAD HE'S GETTING? LOAFS! the BAKERY KIND.. PROLLY WHEAT

Notice that scheme started with SCENE and ended with WHEAT. They don't rhyme, but if you pronounce them a certain way they do. Daddio was doing this on an expert level while most people were amateurish at it and forcing rhymes like crazy at the time.. Myself included lol
