The tournament has three rounds, and in each one, Jimmy competes against a member of the Free World. Jimmy wins the first two rounds with progressively more impressive freestyle raps. In each one, including the last, he goes over the 45 90 seconds in the final battle second limit, and as the beat is cut, he continues rapping, further showcasing his abilities. In the last round, he is paired against Papa Doc Anthony Mackie, the tournaments most feared battler. Jimmy is aware that Papa Doc knows all his weaknesses, so he addresses them pre-emptively with freestyle. Jimmy acknowledges without shame his white trash roots and the various humiliations the Free World clique inflicted on him, then uses his difficult life as a springboard to reveal the truth about Papa Doc: despite passing himself off as a thug, he has a privileged background. Jimmy makes a reference to Shook Ones Part II, the beat that the DJ is spinning, by calling Papa Doc a half-way crook, which sends the crowd into a frenzy. Papa Doc, left speechless in rebuttal, passes the microphone to Future, and backs down. As Jimmy leaves the venue, Future suggests he stay and celebrate his victory while also offering him a position to co-host battles at The Shelter. Jimmy declines, claiming he has to get back to work and do everything his own way, to which Future agrees and respects. Jimmy walks away from The Shelter, more confident about his future.

Thursday, December 23, 2010 10:35 AM 41 comments Historically, beef and battling in as Hip-Hop as good ol fashioned apple pie is to America. But, will that continue as a new decade begins in 2011? They all came up through the ranks of Hip-Hop, getting their true opportunity through battle/beef with another well-established entity in Hip-Hop. The rap battle is truly tied to Hip-Hop culture in a way that is unique and special. Ultimately, it is a sport. In fact, from the beginning, the artistic battle served as a tool of culture that the crowing drum cover people from fighting and killing each other in real life. The metaphor soon changed as people were being slain via hammering metaphors and viscous bars. KRS-One once boasted, I dont battle to win or lose/I battle to ruin your whole career. And, that he did to a number of emcees. But, a curious thing has started to occur in recent history and the trend changed in 20 Rappers stopped replying and began to ignore their competition, even those that had legitimacy in the rap space. Jay-Z has ignored The Game, Beanie Sigel, Peedi Crakk and even MC Hammer. He has barely made mention of them even though they all hold some serious weight in the game. He schooled Drake on Light Up, where he said other rappers were merely starting silly rap feuds trying to distract you. Even Nicki Minja subliminally dissed Lil Kim to death on songs like Romans Revenge with nary a mention of Kims name. And, now that Kim has returned fire with Black Friday, Nicki still has nary a mention. I suspect Sun Tzu would be proud. What is this new phenomena? Is lyrical battling dead or is this something a new? As rap has grown up a bit, it appears that the rappers have opted not to engage in the ways of old. Jay-Z is 41 now, Nicki Minaj is pushing her brand to a pop audience and frankly, cats just dont want to give their haters a stage to stand on. So, it is highly unlikely that there will be any more 50 Cents birthed in our lifetimes. This new Jay-Z isnt going to say, Im about a dollar, what the fk is 50 Cent to his millions of minions.
