Jin's pretty good too, though. I've just seen more of Eyedea's stuff. I wish they had battled... that would have been epic. Have they?
Thanks for fixing the poll. I would love to have seen a Jin vs. Eyedea battle, but it never happened. Eyedea killed everyone when he won HBO's Blaze Battle, and Jin went into the 106 & Park Freestyle Friday Hall of Fame. Conan and I were also reminiscing about the Rap Olympics battle between Eminem and MC Juice. Battling really is an art, it's different than just rapping. If you go out there and talk about your swag and your gold chain, you're gonna get ripped to pieces by any rapper who's half decent at punchlines.
