Top Grudge Matches in Battle Rap History - 1/5

Описание: Hitman vs Arsonal


Arsonal had previously beaten STL battler Remy D


The East Coast and the Midwest have always had a rivalry in battle rap that has ranged from friendly to serious. Ironically, arguably the biggest Midwest/East Coast grudge match of all time featured somebody from New Jersey - not New York City.

Hitman Holla vs Arsonal was a battle that was years in the making. With the formation of Street Status and St Louis as a formidable opponent to east coast battle dominance, this rivalry began.

Eventually, this rivalry pitted St Louis battler Hitman Holla against Newark battler Arsonal. The battle between the two was supposed to go down on the Lionz Den in March 2009 - but it never did. Then, Arsonal beat out Hitman’s Street Status and St Louis companion Remy D at the Fight Klub.

Then the blogs started happening

The Ultimate Rap League eventually set this battle up as the main event for their December 12th, 2010 card. The battle was very personal and highly tense.

Following the battle, Arsonal and Hitman put their differences behind them. Arsonal came to St Louis a few years later and the two have appeared together on Wildn Out.



Marvwon Pat Stay


April 23rd 2011 - King of the Dot’s Gridlock event


Marvwon and Loe Pesci are battling. During his second and third round - Marvwon had some lines about pat Stay

During Marv’s mention of Stay in his third round, Pat Stay interrupts from the sidelines

Initially, Marv continued to rap - but at the end of his third went directly up to Stay

This incident caused a great demand for a battle to go down between the two - and it eventually did on August 5th, 2011 at King of the Dot’s World Domination 2 event.

The battle itself was marred by several controversial and high profile moments - including Marvwon pre-emptively rebuttalling Pat Stay, Sketch Menace interrupting Pat Stay, the development of Bishop Brigante and Pat Stay as a beef, and Pat Stay having one of the most disrespectful rounds in battle history.

The battle remained peaceful, however, and the two buried the hatchet -  3315/3335 - Marvwon Stay Angry Fan


Shotgun Suge vs Bill Collector

Often times in battle rap, what we find is that battlers don’t get along for one reason or another. Those reasons are not always disclosed to the general public. For Bill Collector and Shotgun Suge - that was the case.

What were public, were the diss tracks that were released and the blogs that were put out

----------------------------
Due to the personal issues between the two,the  diss tracks, and the blogging back and forth - this battle had to happen… and on April 20th, 2013 - the Ultimate Rap League in an event justifiably named “Unfinished Business”


During the first half, this battle was ridiculously intense. I remember watching this and thinking on several occasions that a fight was going to break out. When it didn’t I was honestly surprised as hell.


The two seemed to cool down by the end of the battle however, with smiles replacing stare downs.


Dizaster DNA


DNA vs Dizaster is in many ways the tale of two battlers who are very similar.

Both were the early faces of Grindtime - DNA starting in Grind Time NY only a few months after Dizaster did so  in California. Both have an impeccable freestyle and rebuttal game. Both have battled on a huge number of leagues in a large number of cities. They are both two of the highest viewed battlers of all time. And - they are both very much loved and hated.


During and after DNA’s time with GrindTime - Dizaster would call him out -

In one infamous case, Dizaster did this directly to DNA in New York City

The two also took to Twitter, Facebook, Battle Forums, and Youtube blog to go at one another -
