Today I decided to come on UA-cam just to read the comments one time “which I never did in over 20 years” and to see so much love & how i impacted so many is a great moment for me! I wish I could individually show my gratitude to each one of y’all in person but I’ll leave it here in the comment section until we bump into eachother in real life , ….“THANK YOU” every bar I ever put together was you “YOU” and if it wasn’t for YOU it wouldn’t be no ME! So thank you 🙏🏿
You kept that smoke in a bag for 20 years and it’s still potent! Salute from Jersey respect you and ice gave it that original feel of battle rap toe 2 toe!
HOLLOWMANNN!!!!! I hope all is going well with you. A real legend in the game. I've listened to everything you posted on youtube since the early 2ks. H o 2 l o!!!!
Hmm... The definition of battle rap, or the fact that you're at home with all ya boys finishing your bars that they all know, on que at the end, just like they practiced that shit at rehearsal?
@@julianward5482The event was called nostalgia, That’s y HollowMan bought his Verse back, U don’t even kno da history of battle rap or what u talking about, Da Whole Philly & Ppl from other parts of da world knows the whole ending of that verse, He jus brung it back
Yo, if people don't understand the history of the battle rap artist, smh but for the ones that kno especially exactly what I'm talkin bout right now no lie, hands down this is definitely one of the most ANTICIPATED and BEST battles of this year!!!!
This ain't no battle rap when they talking about drugs & gunz which takes no skills & bars at all what has the art come to cause if it wasn't for guns & drugs what would they have to talk about?
Name another battlerapper of any era that had a moment like the one we just witnessed? That crowd gave H his flowers in abundance. I loved every minute of it!
Hollow was one of the first battlers I seen go to war and it was only once ! His flow an aura is so unique! This was definitely legendary! Salute Philly stand up !
Man y'all remember Reed, Joey Jihad, Hollowman, NH, Kaboom, young Meek, Eness, Cassidy, and Freeway. This is extra nostalgia just like when Reed went rambo mode. This man is the OG of Philly.
This is history!! I have a lot of admiration for Philly because of the reverence and love that the city shows its legends. I've seen several amazing battle rap moments, but this is one of the best. Both legends went went in heavily, but Hollowman is simply a different breed, and his hometown is incredibly devoted to him. Eazy is at the prime of his career, yet he respects Hollowman too much, which is exactly how it should be.
Dog…I never followed HollowMan…but watching the sheer passion Philly and Eazy had for his slogan….like a war cry….this was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 to watch as an “outsider”…could tell they had a nostalgic moment….that was hard
Exactly!!!! If your 35 and up and from philly you know that verse. I know for a fact alot of people smiled ear to ear hearing it again after “20” years. Legendary!!!
This absolutely nailed this statement, born and raised in Philly during the time this came out, and to see it has so much impact even now is crazy…. Love my city
@@ericlamargordon swear this was like “THIS the hometown hero…the boul round them parts..real Philly well respected fella..” this was good/fire to see…salute to y’all man…this was a moment for EVERYBODH to bare witness too…whether you was there the first go round…or just catchin on now…I lowkey actually did see the original…but had no idea it sent waves through y’all like that…respect homie 💪🏿…not a lot of regions or cities could pull something like this off..this authentic and raw..organic like that
‘’PC…Proceed with caution…protect your chest or get put in a coffin…if your peeps don’t come home they probably cut…in the place where you chill snatching pies n crust’’ these the bars that made me fell in love with battle rap. Always wondered where bruh was! This was classic!!!
This is how you show love and respect to your legends. This was legendary 🔥 I have so much respect for how Philly for the love to the legend HollowMan. This battle is a blessing to Battle Rap fans.
@@Truknowledgephilly I can’t wait for that day to happen. I’m from Cincinnati. Back in the early 2000 when battle rap was hitting the scene I always been a fan of the Philly battle rappers. Cyssero, Reed, Hollowman, Faceman, Chic Raw, Kaboom, and many more.
@@Leedy06 that was a social time period, brings back good memories.. yeah we been tryna get face to hop in the ring for years. Now after this, I think it may happen.. could you imagine a 2 on 2,🤯
not gon lie this brought tears to my eyes at the end. goin thru all these struggles to form it into art and receive love like this is amazing. Just happy for Hollowman cuz I watched this battle as a kid with the verse he spit at the end. crazy. flowers fr
Hollow man may have one of the slickest flows of all time and a voice that just amplifies the slickness. So glad to see him rap again! Some very classic bars from ice in this as well, reminds me of the old Head ice. One for the culture!
It might be weird to say, but of all the original battle rappers, Hollow man might have had the best modern performance. Hopefully I’m not just a prisoner of the moment, but he had the right flow, presence, and ability to name flip and cater his round to his opponent. And managed to maintain his old school aura. That’s crazy
Thank you for putting this together....absolutely a great performance from both of them and the respect was off the charts from both sides. I love seeing shit like this when no one has anything to prove and do it on love (and a bag of course, but mostly love hehehe).
Bro, as soon as I seen “Hollowman” I had to watch.. I was already saying “proceed with caution” but wasn’t sure it was the same guy… then the ending had me so hype! Bring Hollowman back!!! I know we’re all getting older, but the culture needs him back!! He was always wildin out before wildin out. Man, this was amazing to see.
I gotta say I’m from Philly and I never heard of him but I really love ice’s sportsmanship in this one never got rattled took the crowd reaction and rolled with it looked like he was happy to be apart of history
Hollow really ending it with that classic shit he spit 20 years ago! Just to be alive to hear this shit and from the town just gave me chills, you gotta be from Philly to understand 💯💯
This was hella dope and I never seen a hollow man battle before but this here made me an instant fan!! I got some homework to do… great battle from both sides 🔥💪🏽🔥💪🏽
EZ you need to put an all legends card together so these O.G’s can battle each other. There’s battles that should’ve happened and also some that need to happen.
Absolutely loved everything about this. When the legends came back way back this is exactly what we wanted. Nothing crazy serious but competitive and all love a confidence builder. This is how we wanted Cassidy, Reed, Mook etc. First return to be I'll say this context is everything great job Remy, great job eazy, great job pap. This is going to be hella fun to see what they build
Too 🔥🔥🔥🔥. I'm glad to have been a fan of battle rap for this long. Since the beginning. It's came so far and to see Hollow Man come back and kill it like that is 🔥 💯

Fireeeeeee 🔥🔥🔥
Hollowman just gave a masterclass in battle rap. That energy is on a totally different level.
Ice round was @ss
masterclass and he havent battled in 20 years imagine if he stayed. he would be god tier
This ain't no battle rap when they talking about drugs & gunz which takes no skills & bars at all what has the art come to cause if it wasn't for guns & drugs what would they have to talk about?
Lol..gd battle..gas is real
I wouldn't say master class because it was only one round
"Proceed with Caution" is still the moment of the year in battle rap.
Totally agree
When HollowMan said “It’s P.C.” He put in the final Infinity Stone
Lmao
Yes!!!
Big Facts
Nobody spit like Ice dude is the definition of originality and real lyricist way underrated
💯
Facts
Different!
Sounds like mook copied his style 🤔
Wouldn’t say mook but you can see his influence heavy on Lux
I never seen a crowd carry a slogan like that before ..that gave me chills
It's gased bull crap let's be honest dude came in with this goofy mixtape flow any where besides Philly he getting booed out the venue
@@dougjohnson8610 I'm being honest I enjoyed his round for being gone so long..I got hear ice winning but it dont matter to me I'm from LA 💯💪
AMAZING!! I rocked with Hollowman from the DVD era I couldn’t wait to see this battle!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 did not disappoint at all. 1-0 for the culture
@@dougjohnson8610gassed?? You sound like a hater that niqqa was cookin
Watch mistah fab vs arsenal
After 20 years to come back like this is CRAZY!!!! He was flawless
Name another battlerapper of any era that had a moment like the one we just witnessed? That crowd gave H his flowers in abundance. I loved every minute of it!
Tech 9 when he battled Yung miles
This battle is the entire essence of “Battle rap”. It truly feels like it’s an old battle that was remastered for 2023 🔥🔥🔥 amazing
Fact!!🔥
To be out 20 years and still come back like this is crazy 🔥🔥🔥
Hollow man 3-0
Frfr - made Philly proud. Wish Reed started off like this but he getting there. Hollowman was missed greatly.
That bul raps 10 times more than any other rapper tho
This is the best comeback I’ve seen in a long time
H man 🔥 🔥
I survived 20 years of my life just to see Hollow Man comeback, he is the forgotten four-father of Battle Rap.
*Forefather
@@champ215fcp😂😂
four-father???
he meant : five-father
…All Philly Gas (and Must) aside, HM was 🗑️ 😂😂😂😂
…couldn’t count the 10-4s 😂😂😂😂… this Ni&&a even stole Cass 🗑️ 💀💀💀💀🤷🏾♂️😭
Hollow was one of the first battlers I seen go to war and it was only once ! His flow an aura is so unique! This was definitely legendary! Salute Philly stand up !
Facts
He’s definitely nice,but not unique..he raps like most nice Philly niggas
Some of the best slick talk ever from both!
The culture needed this. We needed that flavour back cause the new school fumbled the bag. A perfect ode to hip-hop and rap!
Hollow man is a example of always having his iron sharp for moments like this.
-Craftsmanship
He’s the kiss of Philly bro.
@@Daniel-kd9pm This performance reminded me how Kiss was prepared for his Versuz. Lots of similarities as far as craftsmanship and stage presence.
Real shit. He NEVER disappoints
Ice gotta be one of the slickest talking battle rappers of all time
I'd give that title to Goodz

That gave me chills. Thank you, gentlemen. I know what this means. This was so good.
It’s so many Philly legends that can do this it just hit different when it’s the ones that had classic moments in the beginning stages of this shit !!

HEAD ICE is so under appreciated… Wolf be floating
but... where are his quotables for the public... he has no legendary quotables, we just see him in his own bag rapping...
@@thomasgoodenpardon my back shrug my shoulders blatant disrespect that I does to dojas
@@brandoncarter5034 against cortez ok i remember that one but he didnt even think that was fire enough to use as a slogan in this battle.

Rs this comeback up there with MJ first return to NBA n LeBron n CAVS 3-1 comeback VS GSW in the finals
