for ALL THE PEOPLE SAYING CENA CANT RAP , this was a freeestyle not one line was written and he came off the top and had bars that got no reaction cause it was so real people were just there like "wow, he just said that"
Oh he's legit. As a matter of fact, it's the reason he became famous. Back when he was still a generic babyface character, he was on the verge of being released but then Stephanie McMahon overheard him freestyling with his friends on a plane ride and told him he could turn that into a gimmick. Thus, the Dr. of Thuganomics was born and Cena's career was saved.
Deja Cradle- The same, here... My favorite incarnation of the John Cena character was this one. I was in the first semester of my 7th grade year of middle school when he started the "white rapper"/"Basic Thug-A-Nomics" gimmick back in the fall of 2002 & to this day, I still watch matches/promos/battle raps/etc. from those days.
@@QstormtheGodbc back in tha day it wasn’t soft like it is now sayin tha shit wouldn’t make ya feel anything bc it’s sayin homie or Dawg or bro get ya soft ass outta here Mexicans whites Asians even and blacks said it like tha look up wha eazy E and Tupac said bout it no one even thought like tha to be sayin tha as an insult
JK nah he was really about to go in cause he wasn’t saying he was chunk when he told him to get chunk he said he looks like him so go get him and the other dude got that confused
LOL only person confused is you my man, Im sure Cena can still eat fools in Rap battle only difference now is that he doesnt have to go rated R to get dirty.
Damn, they both did great. I'm curious how Cena would be almost nine years later. Always liked him as a person because I know how he is in WWE is completely dependent towards the creative team.
Ik this is a 10 year old comment but rn he's doin great, but wouldn't pull the Thuganomics anymore either because WWE owns that character or Cena himself is grown up, but in all honesty he should become the 17th time WWE champion since it was his 20th anniversary of being part of WWE and how his promo is as perfect as it can get.
Lyricly John Cena lost. close your eyes and forget who is a celebrity. All John could say is yo and fuckin! Also thought that Mike's lyrics came together better.
This was at the Jersey All Pro Wrestling 6th Anniversary show. Thanks for the love guys! For the people who hate me, thanks for taking the time to hate me. Backstory on why this happened... A friend of mine was also a friend of Cena's and I used to wrestle for JAPW so I was at the show. My friend said Cena wanted to battle me, because she told him I used to spit and he wanted a "challenge." I didn't want to battle, I was there to hang out and enjoy the show. Finally I couldn't take the constant
After the rap battle was everything ok between you and John Cena? Did you guys get into a fight or anything like that? Or was it just for some laughs and jokes?
begging so I decided to battle..I used to freestyle for fun. Never recorded a song, never battled people in public, never took rap serious. This was the first time some of my friends found out that I could rap, and first time I did it in public in front of a big crowd. I'm glad I did tho because it was fun and now I have a story to tell the grandkids. Cena always said we would finish the battle, but that never happened...lol as the battle progressed he started to compliment me on my skills..
The battle went on for another 15-20 minutes, this video was on my friends computer already because it was on the JAPW anniversary DVD. As soon as we locate the rest of the battle it will be posted.
@@anirwinjain5140 u do realize that 95% of rappers make hit songs like that now. U realize that that didn't happen by accident its called a FREEESTYLEEE and at that point in his career he was freestyling a lott
The kid already lost the second he cuts Cena off. One thing the kid shouldve known is you gotta let your opponent finish his round. But i guess he didnt want to be humiliated any longer by Cena so he cuts him off to desperately win the rap even though he lost to Cena.
I would like to know what happened after this rap battle between Cena and Mikey Sneaks. Can anyone please tell me? Did they get into a fight or anything like that or did they shake hands afterwards? Please and thank you.
True lyricist. Know why? They didn't try to shoot each other, they shook hands and were laughing with each other. This is why I only listen to Common these days. No interests in others.
@@JohnHenryDavisTheThird1987 I’m White and don’t say “n^gga” because I’m not black from the hood and don’t copy the speech from it. It’s not related to my background anyways.
Lol nah it was Smackdown at Izod. I already had comps to the show from Dawn Marie, thought Cena’s seats would be better. NAHHHH so I just stuck to keep getting my Dawn Marie hook up after that
Were you a regular at JAPW shows or did you just go to that one cuz Cena was there. LoL I know it was 20 years ago, but just wondering if you noticed, I wasn’t by Cena the entire time. I don’t know how many people battled him before me, but I know he had some warm ups. Someone came and got me and when I said no thanks, and they used reverse psychology on me saying I was scared. So I just did it to shut my friends up!!! lol you remember that Elvis impersonator in the crowd? As I was going outside for a cigarette, lol he said, “what you just did in there was good, real good. Next time don’t do it unless you’re getting paid for it!” Ofcourse I seized the opportunity to say” thank ya,Thank ya very much!” There was so much more to the battle than just 10 minutes, it was close to 30 minutes, the other 20 minutes was lost footage. He also didn’t just give me tickets to Smackdown, I worked for JAPW, he told the promoter he was gonna try to get me on a segment on smackdown,also he wanted to set me up with his cousin/producer to get in the studio. I spoke to him 3-4 times after the battle, then he got his push and forgot about me lol. At least I got my 15 minutes of fame twice. Once the day of the battle and another when the battle got put online. l made it to the front page of world star hip hop…hahahaha. The funniest part of the whole story is, I wasn’t even a rapper lol
Ha,your right it was Izod,I met Method Man there that night🤣 I went to a few JAPW shows so not really a "regular" I guess. I always had a blast when I did and met some cool people.
@mikeysneaks13 that's funny man, I remember you guys going back and forth for awhile. It's one of those stories I tell people when Cena gets brought up all the time. You killed it though!
Thanks for the positive feedback guys...trying to get the rest if the battle posted, but my boy has the video and it's over 9 years old so who knows if they even still have it, as the battle went on I gained more steam and it got better...but once again thanks to all the positive comments and likes!!!!

This Guy is not bad. But Cena took his Soul.
Btw. This shows Cena is or was a real Rapper and not only a Gimmick.
Yeah The Thuganomics gimmick basically saved his WWE career.
Gimmick
That's why he's the 🐐
Man, listen to the album he dropped in 2005. Literally banger after banger.

Eminem vs cena rap battle!!! That would be sick
That would be cool
Sorry eminem would win but cena is good
Ethan Hopps Eminem would win
It should be Eminem (Rap god) Slim Shady.🤘
Cena would easily destroy him
Cena wins the rap battle
who ever says Mike won has no idea what rap is smh. He was trash. Cena had a flow but not that guy
MrKillerrellik2008 funny thing is so was Cena's. So Cena clearly won in my opinion.
You must be a white boy
Lol Corbin
@@Cobane823 they were both so ass lmao John cena did not have flow🤣🤣🤣
Mike won even Cena would admit it
I wish cena was like this again :(
