ᴡʜᴇɴ ᴡᴏʀꝈᴅꜱ C͗͜O̮͌L̯͛L̲̍I̬̊D̬̈́E̡̛ - *~Joe Budden ѵʂ Hollow Da Don~*

Written by Scott Daniels | Jul 6

On July 12th, 2014, words will collide between two of the most renowned heavenly bodies of our Hip-Hop Galaxy, one from the Commercial Mainstream Rap World (Joe Buddens)...and the other from the Underground Hip-Hop Battle Universe (Hollow Da Don). This is a highly anticipated event that will hopefully put an end to popular speculations. Buddens is about to challenge that old myth of battle/ underground rappers being better than commercial rappers. Personally, I don’t think he has anything to prove because he has shown that he can turn his art into a career…which has been one of the major setbacks of most battle-rappers. And that, to me, is how you win a War. Just checkout this annotated quote from Cassidy on the TOTAL SLAUGHTER SHOWDOWN TRAILER ☞ "I wouldn't do it. Only way I step in the ring is if it make sense"
Well, I guess Buddens is thinking if these Gladiators can’t leap to his stellar world, he'll just have to come down to their Colosseum of Stars! So win or lose, my hat goes off to Joe Budden because I respect him for the effort. In actuality, I think his participation and involvement is just hype to boost the relevancy of Underground Battle-Rap scenes

Stay tuned to Eminem's Shady Films with Watchloud.com as they present a night of "Total Slaughter" live on PPV, featuring Hollow Da Don vs Joe Budden, Loaded Lux vs Murda Mook, and road to the "Total Slaughter Championship"
