    Then too add on about ORIGINALITY not to hate on Johnny Spanish but what is so original about jewlery or how to spell his name lyrically with a rhyme scheme or whatever? Like They said it was a battle competition, WHO HASNT SAID SOME SHIT EITHER ONE OF US SAID? The radio right now if LITTERED with emcees and songs rhyming about Johnny SPanish is saying and shit I said

    I just wanted to come in and drop some thanks to those who voted for me, and thanks to those who gave criticism although most of it sounds like all of you made me out to be the worst thing in this entire competition or you are all riding on Johnny Spanish a little too much…

    To Johnny, good battle man, you have crazy skills Ive told everyone that since I heard your track, and still think that…

    To everyone else clearly hating, i sent in a track when XXL posted it up for the first time SEND IN A SONG OR TWO THAT BEST DISPLAYS YOUR BATTLE SKILLS

    If they wanted another track I have other songs that display my story tunes as well, Im not JUST a battle rapper. And if you wanna throw more shit out here I was picked first up, I wasnt placed in this competition after one of the 4 other people that couldnt make it had to be replaced. READ SHIT FIRST PEOPLE

    Calling me a sell out? Yeah the EA line is used and I agree I wasnt sure how this competition was being handled I saw it was EA sponsered, and not to SELL OUT i was trying to stick with the topic at hand, now that Im seeing its an all lout battle then believe I will do what I do

    If anyone wants to really debate this about who is a better MC just check out there profiles – NOT THE BATTLE – and it is pretty damn clear that spanish has a true gift behind the mic and a sound that any producer would love to get behind and polish. for the battle i have to agree that my boy spanish was always meant for makin real music, not some bullshit over the phone battles. and menace are you for real with this fags nut line, and an EA sports reference?!?! overplayed son, and a SELL OUT. shit i could go on a battle for NIke and spit some shit about new kicks and i will guarantee you a win. you better step up with some originality if you want to go further in this thing
