If you guys actually see ALL of Sage Francis's battles, you can tell that he knows exactly how to get under his opponents skin.

he is a great battle rapper thats true and a great freestyler/lyricist but i donno gues his voice is not giving to him or something but everytime i hear him i hear hard punches in the battle but i really need to focus on his lines ( which in battles is a given off course) but for a song i would listen to on my phone/mp3 player i guess i rather have akrobatic ( or most of the rappers he lays down ) still sage won

I agree. Part of what it so great from 98-2003 was that there were so many different styles. Also this superbowl battle was pretty dope from front to back.

It's impressive to see the progress of freestyling from 1997 - 2006. Those 10 years were pivotal. The Scribble jams from '97 to '06 are prime examples.

Y'all people are buggin'. Akrobatik might have a slower flow than Sage, but that doesn't mean shit, in the second round Sage started slipping and his rapid flow didn't really cover up the weak spots. This was a close battle, in my opinion Sage came out slightly ahead in the first but in the second Ak kept going while Sage kinda burned out.

Both very ill lyricists, but in my opinion Akro's not really a battler. He can freestyle with the best, but battling just doesn't seem to be his strong point, as where Sage is a fucking warrior when it comes to battling, as well as a dope lyricist and freestyler. And all you guys saying Sage isn't that great on records must have really never heard a Sage Francis record. He doesn't really use Hip Hop beats so they may sound odd to some of you cats, but that fool is straight ill. Top ten emcee.

Theres a difference between repeating lines and having lines ready to repeat to make up a freestyle. Supernat and juice do the ladder. Ive heard supernatural specificly repeat entire freestyles. Ive seen it in person plus there is proof of it just through the vids of him on youtube. Just because supernatural walks around telling everyone hes the greatest freestyler doesnt mean he actually is. I have one thing to say to him; Craig G.

Somebody needs to listen to his freestyle on the wake up show where they gave him random words to freestyle too. Supernat and Juice are one of the few people who are capable of freestyling so well you'd think they were written. They've both been tested time and time again and proven they don't need to write anything. Craig G's nice, I'd still take Juice though.
