    I don't know why Joe Buddens thinks he's better than Method Man

    Cause he's Joe Budden. His own biggest fan.

    Even casual rap fans could probably recite a Method Man verse.

    I doubt a casual rap fan could recite a Joe Buddens verse.

    Would never say otherwise. Wu-Tang Forever! Just stating a known fact about Joe Budden. He's like Trump. Pure ego and self absorption.

    Y'all must not listen to budden, ? is great tho

    What difference does it make? Neither were going off the dome. Both were using prewritten rhymes. One was reciting, the other was reading. ? said he had just written the lines before coming to the show, so of course he didn't have it in his head.

    I never understood the problem with reading. Either you go off the dome or the ? is prewritten. If it's prewritten, then it doesn't matter how it's spit, as long as it sounds good and the lyrics are dope.

    I feel a way about reading off a phone or paper. However, I am 100% ok with a true freestyle or pre-written.

    But to be honest if, I am not prepared and Black Thought is any where near the cipher I am doing whatever it takes to not get murdered. I think ? was clearly thinking the same.

    @ the bolded.

    It looks unprofessional.

    Imagine watching a movie and the actor was reading his lines off of a piece of paper.

    No reading off the phone during a cypher is like a unwritten rule you expect vets/legends like Mef to abide by..What if everybody started doing it how would that look? Respect WU as always tho.......


    Troy Ave tried to hide is phone at 0:50 sec mark and Sway exposed him at 1:44 so i know he felt some way about it

    I ain't mad at ? bringing out phones. So ? rather ? not spit at all or try to spit & ? it up when his phone is in his pocket?

    And ? told ? bout the phone ? straight up. I respect that. Troy really tried to front for the camera. I ain't mad at him neither for doing it. ? , its his rhyme. But that's why he was looking crazy.

    Yeah Meths main priority was not get embarrassed by black thought and I don’t blame him. He too grown to care bout people ridiculing him for reading off the phone ‘new rhymes’. His Wu legacy is intact.

    in ? 's defense.....he wasn't up there as a RAPPER....he's up there promoting a show

    and i would hate for ? to get outrapped by Black Thought b/c he didn't think he had to rap today and didn't have his verses memorized.....dope cypher

    lol It ain't an unwritten rule. It's some ? ya'll made up. Reading off the phone wasn't a possibility for the majority of rap history, and as soon as it became a possibility, ? started doing it. And why ya'll acting like ? ain't been doing this ? for damn near 3 decades. It's not a matter of him not being able to do it without the phone. Again, he said during the cypher that he just wrote the ? right before the show.

    It's one thing to be on the show. It's a different situation knowing you have to deal with BT.

    ? was SERIOUSLY flowing and in the zone on his 2nd verse... I thought Black Thought was gonna take this cypher, but ? really stepped up and took it, they both killed it though...
