- January 12, 2003 one of the best battles in Philadelphia history would take place between 2 of the cities heavyweights, ELLIOT NESS and HOLLOWMAN. This was part of the GARAGE BATTLE that was orchestrated between members of Take Down Records and Ice City. Although neither MC was apart of either crew, the night basically turned into a free for all and some of the best rose to the top to make history. At the time, Ness was nationally known for MAKING DA BAND and tearing up the underground scene through mix tapes and DVD appearances with his crew YHM. Hollowman represented his crew the Paper Chasers and was well known in the city as one of the best on the underground. He was a regular at Club Flow's showcases and battles, and his crew was heavy on the mixtape scene. The stars were aligned this night and the rest is history. This battle broke down doors for the underground rap scene in Philly with the audio making it's way onto Power99 FM's Friday night underground radio show (The Come Up Show), and it was regularly requested for years to follow.

Went to high school with Lloyd "Ness" for a minute '91. He used to battle rap in the hallways. He dropped out of Central then i seen him a few years later on the subway in "bad shape". Then a few years passed and i then see him on TV making the band thinking im glad things worked out for him. He obviously been doing this for a minute and got way nice with it than those early days in History class asking me to listen to his raps before class started lol. Stay blessed!
The respect was mutual. No “get out my face” or “back up homie”
Smiles, listening, and rapping.
A Golden era fasho
The homie in the front with the glasses is a true fan. Love his enthusiasm 4 real.
This is exactly how Battle Rap should be, on sight!
The baggy era was lit
Facts I wish I still had my baggy gear .. girbaud jeans with the 5x tees and Icey whites with the matching shoelaces .. headbands over the durag lol #classic
@@theuniversejr I still got mine lol
@@theuniversejr girbaud Jean 🤣🤣 or the Sean John's and gunits those days were different
Extremely
Èl Stampede is a product of this era 💯
2023 I had to revisit. Ness definitely is seasoned and has still been a force with the bars.
He’s back!!!
ENESS
That Philly flow always been 🔥🔥🔥🔥
HOLLOWMAN-Paper Chasers ALL DAY other faces in the crowd I see: Freeway, Bugsy, Ms. Jade PHILLY ALL IN IT!! This a classic
I miss those days...we all were witnessing history watching these DVD, sadly some didn't realize the opportunity they had from these sessions
Wasn’t big op rap wasn’t mainstream like it is now.
Still I know somebody got rich 🤑
We went from clothes being two times too tall to ten times too tight 💀
I remember RUSHING home to watch this dvd after school

Facts the Cass/Freeway battle was on it too!
Maaaan same here!
Ness got that flow that make you follow what he saying
" Im Cocky, my wordplay speak for itself
your wifey
a little smut, she'll sleep with the help". that verse was DIFFERENT
Fr
Hard bar
🔥
Facts
Ness prolly the most underrated battle rapper out the culture
Definitely one of the greats true legend.
Bro was too nice
Damn! Hip Hop could never be like this again! I miss this vibe!
Ness was too advanced lyrically.
Hollow won
I thought that the first few times I watched this too but H kills it too.
@@brandonbell8970 no he didn’t but he’s one of my favorite rappers from Philly
He was more polished than I remember and his bars aged better
@@tonytouch145Hollow definitely won....off the strength that Ness spit some of these bars on his Album with the band
Philadelphia Got Spitters on Deck
Facts
Real shit
Like they were born to rap
Never forget this jawn. First time i seen this i rewound it about 10 times.
Philly had the heat back then and bigstar gave the platform.
Look at all the 215 legends in everyone of these dvds
This shit was crazy. Better than the shit we see in battle rap today!
Legendary,and one of the best battle in Philly history. Classic...💯
20 years later still listening to this
Never knew E ness and Hollowman was an impromptu battle. It just happen thank for the moment . Philly all day
I remember seeing this when it happened!!!!! This is when it was authentic 💯💯💯
I ain't gone lie Ness cooked Bul indefinitely.
This was def a throw back , Làtom🙏🏾
E ness showed theres levels to this. Legendary
Who knew KD could go back in time and spit like that
😂😂 you a fool
Ur a fool dun
😭😭😭
I was just thinking that
😂😂😂😂chill out
U got Freeway,Ness,Ms.Jade Hollowman. Crazy times smh. Miss these days!
My man in the glasses was living his best life from his front row seat!
Cuzzin E
I'm sure he’s had better times. Promoted concerts for Rocafella and State Property plus years of club promotions in Philly
What hand you roll up wit?
😂😂
H nice but Ness on another level Lyrically...
NESS WIT THE 30 before URL.
They spit 5 rounds each? Is that still considered a 30? I thought that was a vintage 1990’s Lee and Indiana 50 sack of work 😂
This is a REAL battle. Not that weak azz shyt they do now with 100 niggaz on stage singing along with the battle rappers. And the rappers constantly repeating their punchlines when the crowd like it. I like that raw face to face 8mile shyt. Props to E Ness and Hollowman.
That new shit is WWE of rap. Can't watch that corny shit
Keep them coming nostalgic to the max
Ness is nice shoutout to anybody that no how to freestyle
That's battle rap bro. not one of those verses was a freestyle
@@MrMdollars we know its not a freestyle you stating the obvious. Back then mfs ran around with loaded clips ready to fire at anyone. He still nice tho..
@@carlostheboss332 Dont be stupid.. the dude said freestyle as if these dudes was freestyling.. so what u saying ??
These writin freestyles, which are bars with no hooks. Anything writin without a hook is just freestyle bars. Real freestyle is off the dome nothing wrote.
I been looking everywhere for this shit...bring back memories
Another classic! Middle school memories!
Star you the Goat for this 1 🔥 🔥 #PhillyHistory
Everybody from philly rapped like this is that era. Shit was fire
Ness killed him.
This is Artwork, strait Masterpiece💯💯💯💯💯
New jack city dvd they was giving this out free in front of my high school
I cant believe we use to wear our clothes so big but dam I miss this early 00s era. These new so called rappers don't even Cypher or battle each other on the street like this now a days.
His last bar was his best line of the whole night
FACTS 😂🔥🔥
Save the best for last
#MICDROP
Ness flow is one of a kind
Anyone notice Freeway of State Property...upfront in the Crowd
Was 16 watching this 34 now damn
Wow. I had this takedown DVD. Classic !
Is only half of it cuz I remember hollowman " have his eyes open like he got shocked look" this was crazzy.. I miss the way these battles were done.. Nobody did it better
This was the whole battle. I'm about to drop a VLOG in a few minutes explaining why I didn't include that "PC" Hollowman tattoo rap. When you hear it, it totally makes sense. There's a huge back story and some hidden information that I just realized from watching the original footage several times. You're gonna love this. Tune in to my next upload.
That first Hollowman verse wasn't Ness Vs Hollowman. Ness was just spitting in like a cypher and Hollowman joined in.
Fucc all the drama we here for the barz. Upload the rap @@2rawforthestreetshistory344
@OP I came back to this video for that specific bar no cap
Something like
" Top cooked, I'll leave you rocked, eyes open wit the shock look" 🔥
I just followed you on insta after this video. Dope!
No Doubt! Thanks for stopping by and for the support. I'm going to follow back!
Didn’t no Kevin Durant used to rap
Lol but he actually does. He's on Tsu Surf's Newark album
Ima check it out
U beat me 2 it yes Kevin Durant! Lol
@@PancakeDiaries i think it was the tape before newark
This battle still one of them one's 💯🔥🔥 Eness 2nd 3rd 4th vs Hollowman 1st 5th #Philly #Champion
This was a classic brings back memories of the good old dvd days.. were u had to catch next dvd to hear what everyone was saying.
Its missing Hollow Mans first verse. He kind of came off the sideline snapping but his first verse was the hardest.
Not missing his first verse. The “PC” tattoo verse wasn’t part of this battle. That happened about 30min prior to this. Check out my next upload after this, I explain the whole thing ✊🏾💯
@@2rawforthestreetshistory344 J already knew it wasn't part of the battle. That's why I said he kind of came off the sideline.
@@2rawforthestreetshistory344 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
@@2rawforthestreetshistory344is that tha verse when he say MY FAV RAPPER USE TO BE NAS UNTIL HE START RAPPING BOUT THA SUN MOON AND THA STARS?🔥🔥

This top 5 battles ever
Top 3...Chill with the disrespectful shit 🤣
This was when shit was raw...
I’m sorry niggas don’t do this no more... No preparing, no studying your opponent, no practicinga punch line. STRAIGHT RAW...
Some people in this generation just don't understand. It's good when someone like you leaves a comment who gets it.
Know every word to ever battle on this dvd still to this day .
Two of the best to ever do it.
STRAIGHT CLASSIC! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ness is invincible. He is the GOAT.
...uhm?? Does someone wanna tell him or should I?

@@TheQANinja let’s not forget bout DNA catching a body off ness! One of the ugliest bodies ever! Idk which is worse. DNA vs ness or mook vs iron 😂🤣

Hollowman and Faceman was my fav in Philly! Philly is the home of the spittaz!
Hollowman was official niggas forgot about the original Hollow
This the Hollowman I know. Big Starr you ever get Paper Chasers Hollow to battle Team A Hollow? How two people have the same name in the same city, both battle and never battle for the name.
No, but that would have been legendary
This nigga hollowman brought me to philly yo and had me watching Reed dollars chic raw quilly and all
Facts!!.. Never thought of that..Man that would of been 🔥🔥🔥
super classic! you were on the camera with this one Star? first time i seen this was on the takedown movie dvd
Yup! They set it up and I filmed it. There were a few cameras in the building but they added my version to their dvd
Ness destroyed him! This wasn’t even fair.. but it’s good to have your peoples there to hype you up.
There Back this is a classic I miss those Philly DVD days where Joey Jihad that boy flow crazy.
I remember having this on bootleg. Cass and freeway battled in the beginning at the studio. Then it was like a royal rumble of Philly niggas battling

Ness still killing it. One of top 5 since making the band
Classic E. Ness sht right here, man. I think I was here in the back too. Could be wrong though. Freeway definitely is there, for sure.
Long time no talk, Big Star. You probably don't remember (Mar, from Wyoming Ave.), but we met years ago when I was in HS (I'm in my mid 30s now) and trying to design the covers for your old 2R4S DVDs. Anyway, hope things are good for you. Gonna try getting at you via Twitter.
