its a battle tho. your suppose to come up with some off the wall shit and ISP did just that. x-men had some funky shit especially with that bass line and sax bit which was funky as hell but after that it was all show from there. Body tricks and beatjuggling which Eclipse and Raida killed. They dissed by stickin middle fingers and shit but ISP dissed in there skratch routines which was sick.
ISP was on some technical shit. Everything was straight up skratching except for the end part when they started doing Q&A on the electro beat. ISP and X-Men were 2 different styles back then. Eastcoast was more beats, body tricks, juggling and some skratching. Westcoast was all about skratching super fast and more technical (skratch techniques/skratch bands). Thanks to Shortkut who was the man in juggling out here in the west back then.
the individual battles after that was tight to.
