Atlanta-based MC WAR battle league has announced the latest match-up for their "New World Order II" card: Houston rapper Mike Jones vs. Atlanta's own Bone Crusher. It's the second "industry rapper vs. industry rapper" battle booked for the September 28 event, which also features Fredro Starr vs. Keith Murray.
Since Joe Budden stepped into the ring to battle Hollow Da Don at "Total Slaughter" in July, several past-their-prime emcees have flocked to battle rap, mostly to be met with disdain from fans and battlers.
Here’s a look at some of the reactions floating around social media since yesterday's announcement.
