Mad Skills never got the props he deserved

I was in that crowd and I remember this legendary battle!! Happy you uploaded this important slice of Hip-Hop culture. Supernatural and Mad Skillz were the best of their day and could body most emcees out here in 2020!!
Don't also forget MC Juice
&DJ Freedom YA MEAN.........ALL OF THEM!!!!
was there too. one of the most legendary moments in hip-hop history imo.
DJ Freedom, how was MF GRIMMs set? Was he really dissin on the judges?
Who cares? Why compare artist of the past to present?
Mad Skills said "My rap style is so hot my white fans get tans."
Bars.
Hahaa nice
9:05 - whos da girl?
Mad Skillz kept his composure and delivered a TIGHT routine. I hope that all is well with him, this is an example of a TRUE M.C. PERIOD!

I forgot skillz had dreads...lol..much respect!!! this man has been doing this for years ...804 finest!!!
SuperNat on The People's Party brought me back here!
Word up!!
Me 2
Same!!! Lol
Awesome battle! I miss these days. Strictly lyrical skill and creative flows! Thanks for uploading this.
Damn SuperNat with the Big Daddy Kane impression was fire!
supernat = one of the best rappers off the dome piece EVER ...
Internationally known is a bomb ass song by him
Not “one of” but THE ONE.
Love how the opponent showed respect when he knew it was over. I miss those days
my god, just unbelievable Supernatural and Mad Skillz. they both deserve much props!
Dame Dash on the stage chillin SuperNat won that he was flowin , creative, punchlines , and rocked the crowd! A True freestyler ohhh and he was poised not like Madskills he was all hyped up.
MAD SKILLZ said a few NAUGHTY BY NATURE references In his rhymes, which lets me know he was influenced by TREACH, because his Movements, Rap Style and delivery is definitely very much similar to TREACH
Yeah I hear it
And they both got it from Lord Finesse
Nigga.. It was 1993. Of course.. That was the vibe bacc in that time.
Fuck, I've just said out loud the same thought to myself, randomly scrolled down and, maybe because of all caps u've used while reffering Treach, the first word that caught my eye was his moniker. And I'm not necessarily into comments like that. As I'm alive, the last thing that I'd believe in is coincident, so I guess that subconsciously I was looking for confirmation of this impression... even though I truly don't give a shit 'bout public affirmation. Just wanted to share it and big u up for good ear- there were many similar, Treach-inspired flows back then in hip-hop, but not many people realise it. Real hip-hop head can tell it by a couple lines. Skillz was nice as hell, but too similar... It's a thin line between inspiration and biting.

Treach did not get it from Lord finesse.
I was there performing at the new music seminar. This battle was off the chain
ang zone was Jay-Z there?
Coincidence Puff was a judge, because I believe Skillz ended up doing sum ghostwriting for him.
Matter of fact, I had a friend who saw Skillz perform live. I hear that Skillz actually says the names of the people he edited out of the recorded version of his song "Ghostwriter", when he performs live. I heard he says Puffs name as one of the people who owes him money for ghostwriting when he performs it live.
lethal5 flow There’s a video of him performing that song live floating around the internet, I’ve seen it. He def name drops Puff
Puff and Shaq definitely on that list
Thx for dropping this. Respect from RVA
I have a vintage video of Mad Skillz at Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, VA ('94) ! Gonna dig that shit out!
Both of these Emcees are dop af. Much respect to Skills & Super Nat
Mad Skillz was cold back then, surprised his career never took off as a solo artist in the early 90's.
Skillz was much much successful than super Nat as far as a career and I thought Skill waxed him in this battle.
I think he really didn’t take off because he dropped his first album at the same time NAZ “It was written” came out and was unfortunately overshadowed by NAS.
he’s quite a successful ghostwriter
@@Twizzledoc187Well, you're kinda right been overshadowed
But, Skillz's first album was dropped the same day that 2Pac and Fugees respectively dropped "All Eyez On Me" and "The Score"
Skillz was always a Beast!.. I love that bol'.. that's one of VA's finest right there.. word life..
Mad Skillz & Pusha T; top tier lyricists all day.. Malice was monster too on the low.. dig?..
Skillz should’ve blew up man very underrated!
Respect to all but Skillz got my vote!
xaxaxaxax
Peace skillz I was there for this.my mentor has a vid show back in the day so I was at everything. He also has footage (not sure if this is it but I know he was doing it for Clark) I have pics from this event and the next day at rock Steady crew anniversary park jam and everybody that was in town was there (the pharsyde and Chanel live/mad lion killed it). When you go into the crowd and say may man chilling w/ the polo cap yup That was me. Lol. Salute!
Who here in 2019 after mad skillz 2019 rap up
None of these incredible M.C.'s have ever gotten their proper recognition or respect in the industry. But, truth be told, records as good as they may have been, didn't do them justice. The best way to feel and see them at their best is in battles such as this.
appreciate u uploadin this, Skillz. cant believe u have this too
To everyone saying is that puff... You do know they anounced who the judges were. Super Nat was a true freestyle rapper. Almost no one else improvs.
Skillz a punchliner, but Supernat was the most Innovative of the two emcees.
That MC Shan line got me. Mad Skillz iz dope, Don't front on him
What did he say? I didn't hear it clearly
Thought it was Big Tig introducing the Judges at first realized it was Clark Kent is madd skillz wearing a Wu sticker on his vest? I love the 90s hip hop
2 heavy weights battling it out lyrically, but I would really love to see MC Juice in there with em. Now that would be something special!!!!
This is one of the only times I’ve seen Supernat use some writtens. It’s weird as hell. Both are underrated MCs.
How you know?
Madskillz ? Wow never new he battled
Puff judged a battle between Supernatural and Skillz. I'm mad at myself for not knowing this sooner.
Lab Baby puff daddy cant rapp ha! ha! But he could get someone record deal then.
How did I miss this as well?
@@sirpoppinchuck funny enough, skillz would go on to ghostwrite alot for puff
This brings me back to The Source magazine from back in the day! They actually cover this battle.
"TIE!!! TIE!!!" "F*CKING TIE!!!" "MAKE IT A TIE!!!"
😂
i love how everybody was dressed, i really am an out of touch 40 year old still wearing baggy pants and Lo and getting funny old head looks from all them youngins in 2020
Me too and I love it, bro. I can't rock what headz are rockin these days.... I just flat out refuse lol
The Lo will never go.
@@themightyfp kids rocking gucci. In my day gucci made handbags
Facts bro .....fuck it though how your Jeans and sweats gonna be tighter than your girls jeans......not the move.....Baggy for life bro
Me too. 🤷🏾♂️
Major props for sharing this gem!
Thank u for posting this😊😊😊
Gotta love the Skillz' yearly wrap-ups. He be throwing hella shots. Lol but Also props
Uncle Murda bit off skillz with the yearly rap ups
mad skills won that
Mad Skillz posted this. Shaquan Lewis is Mad Skillz and he is who posted this. I would say it's an imposter like most copy names on RUclips can be, but if you look at the comment he left, you will see he even refers to himself in the first person there. Pretty badass he had this footage and put it up for us to revel in. Awesome stuff.
Yeah Mad Skillz was way better and he from VA and New York didn't wanna give it up to a VA Nigga when it came to Hip-hop back then
Super Nat was from Indiana, so why would N.Y.care who won?
@@Selrahc757 Mad Skillz was Dope but Nat from Indiana so NY ain't give a fuck lol I think they pick Nat cause he went off the head the entire time.I still felt like Skillz won thiough
@@Selrahc757 but Super Nat from Indiana. Your point is invalid.
Supernat is super blessed the mic didn't cause feedback when he went passed the speakers
This when Skills took off ...... he came back to Richmond our home town.Then you couldn't tell him nothing.He hooked up with Missy,Timblerland and that was rap he still left out our other supper producer The Tones & Real Teddy Riley to 757.I like looking back at these battles because it's hip hop history at it's best.Peace to the Super friends
Teddy Riley is a Harlem, NY dude who relocated to that 757, so y'all can't claim him
@@mikeofdc Was just about to tell him lol.
@@bsinatra145 exactly bruh
@@mikeofdc Why not? NY try to claim J. Cole.
@@hitek9too255 never claimed him
Mad skillz and drink champs brought me here I cant believe its footage of this great hiphop history
This was an amazing upload. A few random notes: Skillz looked so much different then. Supernatural's delivery changed drastically shortly after this battle (and improved). And the beats were straight fire.
Wow...This Was Over 25 Years Ago...That Day Was Interesting For Me!!!
can tell there wasnt a bunch of money in rap yet...evveryone looks bummy lol
@@LITMOVIESCENES ... Actually...We Spent Our Money On Things Like Brownstones In Jersey City...Take Care
@@lamelwatson5132 yea ok..still look bummy
Thanks Skillz. I've been looking for this for awhile.I heard about your battle with this cat back when it happened. Been following your career since then. (Back then I heard you got screwed out of the win.)
The early 90s style was pretty funny. Everyone rapped with these hyper and jerky movements like they were on crack or somethin
Thank you for sharing this wonderful vid!!
Supernats still the best at REAL freestyle
Very good, epic battle. It was so close that it should have gone to the Supreme Court.
Props to both MCs...but damn this was too close to call.
When Super Nat did the Big Daddy Kane and Kool G. Rap impersonations, that showed his versatility and showmanship, which swayed me. NOW ... if we can just get the footage of DMX battling Jay in the pool hall.
finesse said in a interview that big l recorded that battle
You couldn't catch wreck if your name was mr. Bulldozer🔥🔥🔥
Nat won for freestyling 100%. I love skillz but he mixes in writtens. The majority of it was premeditated. I think thats the only reason Nat won! #Classic
That is a special trick most emcees do! Ur right though.
Im waitin the mad skills new years rap ..
Classic Material
7*
*7)
Supernatural was the man mcs feared in the 90s! Shit it's been long since I've heard of him!
I always wanted to see a freestyle battle with Supernatural and King Los
Skillz all the way..
Dam everyone had the same cadence! lol sound so much alike
Richmond VA stand up SKILLZ IS MY GUY AND SALUTE TO D.J. LONNIE B
Puffy and Dame before mass fame!!
You could tell it was 1993, with that sing-song style like that of Fu-Schnickens or Flava Unit, and the constant shifting stance with hand extended out. lol!
The illest freestyle battle ever would be krs one vs supernatural
KRSONE defends child molesters
@@jacobprice8048 who? You talking about Bambaata?
@@billykimber4463 😂😭😂😭
@@RedSun215 I'm serious, who is he referencing? Am I missing something?
@@billykimber4463 no I think you're right I think that's who he was referring to
I wonder if Ralph Sallis ever went down stairs to get his son 🤔🤔🤔
billyblack3712 😂😂😭😭
Yes he went downstairs...after the show was over
super nat said he can keep the demo deal
supernat with that straight off the dome shit kills it every time
Both are legendary specially for the freestyle movement all over the world. Incredibile energy and flow from this guys. Damn I was 10 when this sh*t happend. Big respect for the legendery rhyme spitters. Peace :)
wow..times have certainly changed since 1993
Dope battle - classic Hip-Hop right there. All the way down to how disorganized determining the 'winner' was.
This is the 1991 battle the other is the 1993 battle where me and King Sun battled in the semi's and Judgemental battled him in the finals
How did mad skills reference "hip-hop hurray" when it wasn't even out in 91? Time traveler?
Nigga nah. Even the shirts say '93
Negative. Skillz even references the 93 World Trade Center bombing.
@@JustinBlazzzee Yup.
Yeah mad skillz even referenced EPMD breaking up and Jade's smash don't walk away..
Drink champs brought me here
Puff's thinking in his head " Fuck this battle, the rapper I just signed is going to take over the world!"
mad skills had a nasty flow
Pure 90s PHATNESS
Mad Skills got mad skills and won that battle!

Mad got the I'll Wutang sticker on his vest dope!
Classic.... when hiphop was truly an art and mcs represented ... too real ... you think today's cats would have even had a career in the 80s or 90s ....please.... much love
Skillz should’ve won that one, he was more direct
11:14 ahaha she kills it on this verse. mad skillz is hilarious. This video is great.
