Iron Solomon vs. E Ness of Bad Boy, Making Da Band fame

At a rap battle that took place on the Memorial Day Weekend in September of 2010, in Miami called Grizzlemania 2. Here, two underground veterans took to the middle of the cypher and squared off with words. The battle was actually pivotal in the realm of battle rapping as it pitted so-called “street-rap” against undaground emceein.  Representing street rap was E Ness, a Badboy artist brought to fame on the MTV Making Da Band series in which prospective members had to walk to Brooklyn to get Puffy a slice of cheesecake. For Hip Hop, the undaground emcee was Svengali brother and End of the Weak-NYC showcase regular, Iron Solomon. As the battle surfaced on Worldstar Hip Hop, a significant buzz blew up around the footage on YouTube which reached around 250,000 views in about 3 weeks. There are two basic opinions that spoke to the outcome. The first was posted in favor of E Ness as the winner. The second one, I posted, the next day explaining how Iron Solomon won.
