eli porter vs. envy – freestyle battle [re-up].


remember this!?

quality youtube videos are lacking in the ‘08. so i had to bring this back to life. plus, ricardo said he needed it in his life…with commentary. so here you guys go.

4 and a half minutes broken down:

0:10: “ey dea. it’s me again. ya boy marv-o.” his swagger is incredible. he ever so slightly rocks from side to side.
0:26: the introduction of the peanut gallery. my favorite is “steven jackson, action jackson.” but do you all see marv-o’s arms up on his homie in the middle!? he’s just maxing and relaxing. but it is still ridiculous. so
0:33: “y’all already know the rules, so we ain’t gon’ waste no time on that.” that’s what marv-o just said, right? then he proceeds to tell us the rules. he can’t make up his mind!
0:59: eli is hyped. but he’s not even about to rap. but he still pumps both of his arms like he’s about to bless the beat. good grief.

do i even need to say how classic envy’s flow is?

1:10 and 1:14: this is where it gets intense. envy calls eli a cripple. TWICE! and eli’s cool with it!
1:37: envy’s haircut is similar to boosie. but just like 30 times worse. find him a barber, immediately.
2:03: marv-o’s boo (yea, the dude he felt up 26 seconds deep in the video) gives a ridiculous pose. like, a “check me out, check my swag, i’m the man” type joint. but it’s so weak, and the camera doesn’t cut away. so he just looks extra lame.
2:10: envy is confused as to how eli curses twice and is still able to rap. marv-o tells us that any cursing will get you disqualified instantly.
2:17: eli has realized his dilemma and promptly stops flowing. i don’t think i’ve seen anyone this nervous. the music even stops at 2:26, and eli has to think of something, quick. oh boy.
2:48: eli gets right back at it, with a series of “yeaa” noises like a gucci mane or a jeezy impression. i won’t even tell you how good each of his lines are, just listen to it.
3:36: eli curses again, and is so hyped. they end the competition right there, and put a heart-shape over eli. why? i don’t even know. good grief.

oh boy.

i’ma need yall to get off my boy marvo. and eli too. part of me feels proud for this to be from my high school…is that wrong lol?

Goodness…This is the best thing ever…I think the best part, and put your volume up to hear it, is when eli curses again and you hear someone say “YOU CURSED AGAIN ELI.” And Eli replies, “I said freaky.” That part made me cry!!

3:46-Marvo is trying to gain control of the situation again

3:49-Action Jackson misquotes Eli’s line

3:52-Had to better than last time?!! WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME?!!!

Both of them did good, but I give it to Envy, cause he did great…

Eli got robbed…and there are other Iron Mics out there…go watch them
