Featuring such heads as...Tha Q, 9th degree, Enygma,The green team, Big J and probably you! SO DON'T SLEEP!

you was garbage way before the first b.c.
what kinda rapper takes after nas worst cd
you not a factor like you "after-math" D.R.E
not even a rapper you an actor tryin hard to be me
you better listen when you hear my mic shout
i got the clapper for you rappers it'll put ya lights out
illmatic here is tryin to be me but he lacks fame
my lyrics is double barreled so they cause "max pain"
we got a "wicked" one already we don't need a wack "clown
i'm the one up front you the man in the background
back down you just spit, i eat sleep and breathe rhymes
i'm no roadblock but it seems your career's met a street sign
i swear i'm a be the "death" of rap with my track scythe
it's a curse to disperse a verse that's worse, guess that's "life"
you wanna be big illmatic yall "picture" that
dog i'm a "frame" yo ass right where you sit it at
Insane Lyrical Lame Marked A tame insecure clown
you're like my date after the prom "no, you will go down"
and no we're not gon change you ain't that important dude
just realize you don't scare niggas like you think you do

Explanations: After math is doctor dre's label but factors are in math problems. but after the math problem there are no factors

the clapper turns lights on and off and i'm not talkin about a lightswitch guys....
his sig is max payne holding a double barreled rifle
there's a rapper on rv named "wicked clown" you proly already heard of
the street sign in his sig's background says dead end
he's battling someone named "life"
Picture frame, you know
spelled his entire name, that one took a minute

good luck illmatic

Blackmage, this has to be a stage, you thinking you can beat me
none of ya magical spells could summon you this win see,
this Misplaced Ass Guy Exagerating, he needs to quite faking,
tell everybody your real hobby...reading books and masterbating
maybe my final fantasy will be your final desitnation,
chopped, cut up, and buried inside my basement
face it, even in ya worse "nightmare" you can never just make it, living in the "fastlane" "hell's fire" will surely be waitin
why are you cakin? ...you live a "parodox"
4 and 1 I have to admit thats kinda hot, but say your farewells because your about to fail, come place me on your hit list trail, come on nigga try, but keep playing with real niggas and there will be much more than just a "diamond in the sky"
this Bitch Lacks Abitlity Considering Kleptomanics dont steal because they have to, but when people catch what your doin your whole rap career is through..........

explanations
"nightmare" is some guy he was battling ( look at me, still promoting other people's shit)
"fastlane","diamond in the sky",and "hell's fire" are some freestlyes by blackmage
paradox-
A statement that appears to contradict itself, also he has a poem named "the paradox"

My vote goes to blackmage.

Explanation:

Both had some good punches, but to me some of illmatics fell completely flat, like the last 4 lines or so for the most part. I felt the ending on that was pretty weak. If illma kept on track of his first half, he woulda gotten my vote. But while Mage didnt completely rock him, he kept the structure and was solid throughout, plus

"you're like my date after the prom "no, you will go down""

was pretty good.

Aight blackmage you got 1, thanks 4 the feedback jay kal, but if you notice..contrast my last line to his last line, which i may add was bit off scarface on the world war 3 song....think about it
