The battle of the night ended up being NH vs BALBOA. It was another one of those legendary matchups that would have the same energy as an ENESS vs HOLLOWMAN.

Philly dudes are just on different level freestyle and battle wise.

[@Youngwarriorforchrist10]

Yeah but this the weak side of Philly had a couple fake niggas spit on Philly side, D jones trying too hard, NH is a youngbull to balboa he couldn’t handle balboa it was like a man vs a boy, Bluefame held his battle down so did Joey, Deuce can’t rap but he’s a demon and he won, Jersey had more real rappers. But the real side Philly, Eddie morris reign man shelliano cysserro would of ate up jersey because you don’t get better than that in battle rap. I’m from London it’s not hard to spot the fake and the real

[@2rawforthestreetshistory344]

NH vs BALBOA is one of the hottest battles of the DVD era. They both brought it and matched each other’s energy. I was thoroughly entertained back then and now. Also, I totally forgot NH was only 16, SMH! This was more special than we even realize ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 Star Rating)

[@mastamnd]

@@2rawforthestreetshistory344 Thank u. It was brief but I was blessed to meet a couple of the homies from the Jersey squad at that time and knew they were going to be coming out on the DVD. Still keep in touch every now and then with 1 or 2. From what I know most are still grindin' and involved in music. Funny thing is I'm from Philly and I had heard about Kaboom, NH and definitely Joey Jihad but never heard em til that battle. I bought that DVD and somebody stole it. Smh But it was good to see that classic battle again. Far as who won????????? I think overall Jersey had the best spitters consistently from beginning to the end. Individually, I still think Jersey won overall but to me NH and Kaboom shined for Philly. They were ready and had longer bars which helped. Jersey kinda came in unprepared for what Philly was coming with for a battle. If Balboa would've spit more bars he would've easily won every round. Only thing I wish I was there. I lived like 10 minutes from where that took place. I know it was intense in there. Definitely in the hood. Peace and Love Big Starr what you did back then was ground breaking. You put Philly on the map even more and gave emcees a place to showcase in true hip hop fashion.

This is one of those videos 📹 that you can only refer to as iconic. This that PURE Raw. BigStar we missed you more than you know big bro. You are what the games been missing. It's time for you to do it all over again. Ya house fell apart while you was gone and people stole from it and ran off like it was their own. This new generation needs their Godfather, time for you take your rightful place. Your name still rings bells in these streets, you will forever be 2 Raw. You had Philly united and it spread to other areas and other states. Bring the legends back, get the new generation on track....We need you back like Jordan wearing that 4-5.

I love how you had more control over the situation and those men, to get them organized, than their own friends probably. That is real respect. I think these moments go over most people's heads. This is far more than just a moment in block style battle rap. It's filled with micro lessons for life, straight up.
