On Saturday night, Joe Budden made a huge move as an established artist stepping into the battle world and going against Hollow Da Don for “Total Slaughter.” Though his bars were CRAZY and he arguably bested Hollow 2-1, he kind of gave the W away when he put his mic down in the third round because he didn’t want to rap over the crowd’s boo’s. Many said Joey was putting his career on the line in this battle, but he seems pretty at peace with the outcome. Check out what he’s saying on Twitter in the gallery! What did you think of the event?

joey did body bag hollow… anyone who thinks different is a total douche and doesn’t understand the meaning of “BARS” or “LYRICS”
A body bag is defined by a 3-0 .. hollow won a round so it is not a bodybag ..you are ignorant to battle rap
Didn’t BODYBAG hollow * 2-1 button but the event was “lackluster”
No stage like the URL
Hollow bagged joey 3-0
These cats don’t understand battle rap. Buds didn’t win that match at all. No 2-1 in his favor. He may have won the second round. That’s about it. Hollow treated him like the loser he is. Papa doc’ed his ass
Hollow cried about the battle being “rigged” before it happened, so the judges had to give it to Hollow no matter what. For a battle vet, Hollow was pretty weak.
Hollow was corney…he didnt bodie joe or nothin close…joe is very outspoken…thas a trait that suckas dont like…the win was a matter of opinion..
Hollow and Joe was ok nothing spectacular. Ur correct for Hollow to be a vet shoulda had better bars Joe should have been better prepared. Overall Joe 2-1
Hollow is garbage and got handled. If Joe didnt put the mic down he would have won…Hollow is str8 garbage
the difference between them two is that Joey is a real rapper if yall was really listening to him ya can tell that he still has the old school battle rap, the New Age battle rappers are more like spoken word rappers is Joey with spit in the same way how was ya would say Joey was the winner but that Boi is old school … Tune in #EveryThursday to (IG) @DuUOnAir 11pm 12am oamn http://www.DuUGlobalTv.com or download that #TuneInRadio app on your phone then search #DTfRadio …. this Thursday we will be talking about the total slaughter battle
Joe ate hollow over and done Jersey All Day!!
Easy to see Joe had no rebuttals everything was written… Hollow was even syncing some of joes bars before he said em… Hollow is my brother and wasnt his best performance but he had alot off the top… Joe was all written! Thats why he lost!
So you really think hollow didnt write his shit for joe u crazy they all do when u on the pressure and u dont remember n u repeat n say my bad I fucked up u writing straight up n for hollow to go in n stop his verses to try n punk Joe he lucky Joe kept it peace n it was weak to pick up the mic n keep spitting n wrong for the crowd to not respect the MC my opinion nuff said
Joe had arguably the worst delivery of any battle rapper on any big stage ever. If you disagree you need to watch a rap battle. Like Hollow said “it sounds like your reading it”. Joe was honestly terrible I expected way better from him. 2-1 Hollow cause I’m a nice guy.
im a fan of joe and i was at this battle joey was mostly rapping as if he was in da studio although some of the punchlines he was sayin was hard it was 2-1 but i believe the main reason y joey wouldve won if he didnt drop da mic is cause he had his fans there but he started spittin sum garbage in da 3rd round i wanna see a rematch but joey gotta keep his emotions in nj facts
