no doubt, lets just say performance wise Joe should have no problem catering to the crowd, but he's of the cloth, specially the punchlines, personals, flow, etc. like Ronnie said if he's got time to let shit bubble on paper and in his head, shit's a done deal on the mic, that's not being technical (Canibus style lol) shit's methodical. If you rhymed "Game Over" acapella in front of Game on stage, minus a lot of the studio filler, those are battle bars he coulda spit at Game if they did the battle on stage. That's just a quick comparison. Sfar' as rebuttles go, I know he's not a freestyler, but he's got so much shit on tap who's to say how he'd fair in an impromptu exchange on stage. Hollow's a monster with those, and you can tell when he interjects some free shit in the front, middle, end, just to fit the situation, not many can do that and still come right back to the written slaughter, SMACK crowd can't appreciate shit like that. Thesaurus, Illmac, Mac Lethal, Kid Twist are some of the only cats I've seen that can master that and transition back to the writtens flawlessly. Know there are others I'm forgetting.
