For The Love Of God!

If there is any God/invisible supreme being in that vast space we call the sky, please make this shit happen. I would sell my first unborn child to witness this live event. I'm still upset about the fact I've never had that chance to see my two favorite rappers (Nas and Jay-Z), both on the same stage, performing side by side. That experience would easily be one of the best moments of my life. If I still lived in New York, then it wouldn't be a problem. Hot 97 holds Summer Jam every June. Unfortunately, I live in Orlando, where there's no hip-hop festivals like Summer Jam or Rock The Bells in California. If this show were to happen, it would literally go down in hip-hop history, as one of the greatest mc battles of all time. Mos Def already picked out his team (supposing all the rappers he named agreed to join his team) and since he generously bestowed Kanye West to Jay's team, if Jay so chooses to pick him up, I'd like to see Jay opt these rappers as his other teammates as well: Eminem, Common, Talib Kweli and Lil' Wayne. You're probably wondering why I chose the latter mc, it's only because Mos Def mentioned in a previous interview, that he could beat him in a battle as well. So the ballot would look something like this:

Battle Royale
Mos Def x Black Thought x Doom x Jay Electronica x Nas
Vs.
Jay-Z x Kanye West x Eminem x Common x Talib Kweli x Lil' Wayne

I consider myself a "Hip-Hop Head" and would pay major coin to be present, when all this goes down. Plus all the proceeds go to charity, so it's a win, win situation for everyone. To see all these amazing artists sharing the same stage, battling it out, would be like watching The Beatles in concert, during the 60's. Once in a lifetime and straight bananas! I've been fortunate enough to see The Roots and Jay-Z in concert, twice (not together of course), when they toured through Orlando a few years back. If you ever get the opportunity to watch either of them in concert, I suggest you do. You won't be sorry and it's worth every penny. I know you're probably wondering which team I'm rooting for, since both of my favorite rappers could possibly be on opposing teams. But I'm not even going to debate on that yet till this battle becomes official. Even though the chances are slim that this could ever happen in the near future, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. Amen to that!
