Who do you think it is? Doesn't have to be an EXACT battle rapper, but someone who has a battle rapping style, atleast.

Who do you got?

Names that immediately spring to mind are.............

Supernatural
Mad Skillz
Big L
Jin
Cassidy (check out the pwning of Freeway!).
Kool Keith (in 88)

Cassidy....word on the streets is that he killed everyone and everything walking in NY.

mos def iced kanye in a battle... eminem

As for who would probably be the best in an on wax battle.

Krs-One
Biggie Smalls
Big Daddy Kane

Kool G Rap is another name that springs to mind.

Supernatural
TheSaurus and Illmaculate (peep their team battles from the World Rap Championships) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x6plEvv2mU

Most of the free style battle tournament stuff thats become popular in the last few years don't really do much to prove talent. Their basically insult contets (The Dozens) hardly anyone is actually flowing while their doing it. I mean if you had Big L, Mos Def and Black Thought, guys that really know how to freestyle involved in a battle, then it would be real freestyle battle worth something. In general however, I think Rap battles on wax are better, and a better test of skill. You get a chance to sit down plot your attack, try to anticipate everything the other guy might say, really bring your best , and whoever is more resourceful takes it.

Big L, big daddy kane, and cassidy

EM
Royce Da 5'9
Cassidy
Joe Budden
B.I.G

Iron Solomon is a sick battle rapper, memorizes most of his ****, but still sick.

Rhymefest also beat a young Eminem in a battle, I believe he knocked him out of the Scribble Jam. He then dropped out due to nerves of the main event, going against a decent battle rapper named J.U.I.C.E., who then took on the third place Eminem, and beat him.

A couple years back, to avenge himself, Rhymefest entered another tourney and J.U.I.C.E. WAS in, but got knocked out before Rhymefest and he could meet in the finals. Rhymefest went on to win the whole thing.

Well Tupac had the best diss song ever and probably would have or could have made many more had his life not been stopped short.....So I say Tupac.

To me? Lil Wayne is up there, been listening to him since 99', no bandwagoner I am.

Wayne is not a battle rapper at all. That's like a thread being made.. " Rappers who swear too much and put down women" and me saying.... "To me? Lupe Fiasco is up there, been listening to him since 06', no bandwagoner I am"

Fair enough you're a big fan but no need to bring him up EVERY time you talk about hip hop. You make it sound like he's the only guy you listen to.

Wayne has never had a notable beef. And he's never been in battles. He doesn't qualify.

I have always been under the impression that KRS-One is the greatest battle rapper to ever do it.

I like JUICE. He's nice on a record or in a live battle.

Shut the **** up. I'm done....................

I like Weezy. I can relate to his words on a personal level. Some of the **** he says I can relate to in a dark or bright way. Reason why I like him so much. If you can't relate, you won't understand. For right now the song "Don't get it" I'm feeling, ****ers in my life just don't ****in get me.

Sorry for cursing you earlier. I was pissed about something else.

...............................Uhhh.. I also like Mickey Factz.

This is a single he has. No album out though, LYRICALLY not his best. But he does nice enough on a SICK beat.

Don't worry about it. I didn't take it bad because I know we're cool :boxing:

And I see what you mean about you relating to him, Obviously far more than I ever could, But he aint no battle rapper Lol.

As far as freestyle goes, I like Lil Flip:
