Balboa is so underrated. He has everything the modern battle rapper needs to make a name for themselves. Bars, charisma, aggression, believability, jokes and respect.
20 years ago, I used to come down to Philly from NYC just to cop the 2 Raw For The Streets DVDs weekly. This was before RUclips/social media. These battles are classic and I appreciate it.
nh is a monster....i wish he would come back wit the philly revolution....reed , reign, nh, boom, frankie, philly needs a real team in this battle shit. NH is a gunner tho. id love to see him back in that ring
Balboa bars was out of this world during that time! Balboa won with bars and clever punch lines, NH just rapped longer! All tho NH had some Krazy bars and punch lines as well! Balboa was way more lyrical!
Literally just dropped in randomly for old times sake and followed it to that 7:30 link. Thanks for making my day!! 😂 Then the next NH verse was 🔥🔥🔥 too!
Classic battle, glad i was there to witness it in person, R.I.P to my nigga inkwell with the tan jacket & black skully in the background, the cops shot him in the back
Bruh I use to bump these battles out loud during free time in highschool on my PSP. All the hood dudes would pop over my shoulder to catch a listen and a glimpse.
@@jamarpayne2613 all of battle rap from the early 2000s were either on DVDs or recorded with camcorders, so you had to actually be outside to witness them
“I’m rich now, niggas say I’m the shit now. Dime bitches givin me brain to spit now. Everything I put in my name legit now & I still make a nigga strip down. Still chop pounds, still MAKE A NIGGA STRIP 🗣DOWN”😂😂😭
Every time I watch a new battle, where chokes & redos are now allowed, you have to appreciate his battle w REX, they both went in flawlessly but prime rex was just too nice in those days, better than mook even 💯
Damn the whole Jersey team South Jersey that is which is 10mins from Philly which sounds like the guy he's battling who sounds like EVERYONE IN PHILLY must've did the same thing as the Philly team and wrote his verses as a group project
I had this DVD back in ‘05. I always liked Balboa better, his bars were more intricate and thought out. NH’s bars were more basic but he spit it with aggression so it sounds like he was killing him but if you judge bars you know Balboa was better!
Factor in, that it was a significant age difference between the two. NH was like 15-16 years old, other bull was a grown man. H still held his own! Jersey bull can rap tho, can’t take nothing away from em. Salute to both spittaz. #PHILLY 🤞🏽

Classic battle. Both are super nice, but Balboa’s verse that starts at 7:30 is flawless.
