Its a real challenge to follow up the hype of last years event, widely considered the best ever battle event. It not only raised the profile of the culture but rejuvenated the genre with battle leagues suddenly popping out of every corner. Loaded Lux in particular garnered unprecedented attention and created uncharted anticipation for SM3, where many expected the long awaited battle between him and recently released Hollow Da Don would take place. However a bitter dispute between Loaded Lux and a few other battlers lead to the new tag line Bars Over Names. However there was little promotion apart from the unique match up of Swave and Daylyt. The sound had a glitches in a few videos, Url had people waiting for hours for the event to start, no high profile interference but the crowd hostility remained. Yet no one could predict Math Hoffa punching a rapper AGAIN and shutting down the event. So in the end JC and John John didnt go down and Daylyt and Swave didnt happen. A sad ending to what could have been a very success full event.
SMACK/ URL The leaders of MC Battle culture drop the first of many exciting match ups from their recent Summer Madness 3 MC Battle event. This particular war of words is between Newark New Jersey's Arsonal and Harlem New York's K-Shine. Alot of shouting in this battle....Arsenal got this one, even with K-Shine pulling out the Midget 24.33.
Detroit's Calicoe and Harlem's T-Rex. This makes it three Summer Madness events in a row for both and for Calicoe this is redemption after the Lux demolition. Calicoe round one and 2. Rex got the 3rd
The original first lady of SMACK/ URL was the multi talented Ms Hustle until she took some time off and new star emerged in the form of the ever lyrical Jaz The Rapper. Finally these two super talents take center stage to show that female battle rap deserves to be at the forefront of MC Battle culture and to finally decide who the first lady of SMACK/ URL. Possibly battle of the night, very debatable.
SMACK/ URL The leaders of the MC Battle culture drop another dope match up from their Summer Madness 3 event. This battle is between Baltimore, Maryland's Tay Roc and Pontiac, Michigan's Ill Will. Considered best battle of the night, Ill Will made the leap to the stage and I feel got the first round......2nd round Tay Rock got that easy....Thats light! Third round, debatable!
