Typically I wouldn't point this out, but I think some of Saafir's lines in that article are wrong and it changes the context quite a bit:
"I'm 100% concentrated on easing nooses around the necks of these tricks,
insects with vagina lips, your spinal will grip..."
"Nigga you
one-story I'm a skyscraper..."
I recorded that battle off the radio and had it in rotation as much as regular albums I had at the time... I know the words to some of those freestyles better than I do a lot of songs.
I'm glad there's going to be a documentary about this battle... I don't know of any others quite like it. Most are just one on one, I don't know of any others where there were two crews going back and forth, let alone two crews that actually had beef with each other. I hope there's video of the battle itself... The tension was thick in there, at one point they had to go to commercial because a fight was about to break out.
