Joell Ortiz On Battling: “Nobody Would Beat Me” [Video]

Joell Ortiz spoke with Jenny Boom Boom about his interests in Battle Rap in this clip from his exclusive interview with VladTV. Joell shared his thoughts on the Total Slaughter battle between Hollow Da Don vs. Joe Budden, and how he thinks that Joe definitely beat Hollow lyrically, but lost due to his lack of performance. Joell thinks that Joe’s use of the microphone during the battle restricted him from being able to perform to the best of his ability. He also discussed his own interests in battling, and how he isn’t focusing on stepping into the lyrical ring anytime soon. Joell doesn’t feel a need to battle, nor does he think it’s necessary for him at this time; however, he did acknowledge that many fans want to see him show off his combative lyrical skills and that he’s also been offered high quantities of money to do it. If he does ever battle, he thinks that “nobody would be able to beat me.” He concluded by briefly addressing the battle between Keith Murray vs. Fredro Starr. Joell isn’t really interested in that match, and thinks that it honestly may turn into a fight because Keith Murray is “thorough.” Do you think Joell Ortiz would be victorious if he battles?
