14 April 2008 - 10:54You really….what? / Its a Demo vol. 7
I’ve had this for a minute but haven’t had time to post it. Apparently it has become quite popular..
Maybe someone should offer a play-by-play scientific analysis of what is happening here..
The best 5 breakdowns get a TMTDxLRG special.
What was really interesting/weird was that I got the link to the clip as I was giving THIS the Gomez Brothers treatment:
"I really mean it" (Originally titled Don’t Go)" - O.G. Demo
EDIT: Is Eli mentally challenged? When i first got it a week ago I didn’t even get to the 2nd guy, I was too busy LMBAOFTMSing at the first one and kept rewinding it.. I didn’t get to watch it fully until now. I’m really not sure whatt is happening here and now I feel halfway funny about posting it.. Does anyone know??
EDIT 2: Everything about this is just so wrong.. this whole video.. it’s just wrong.. why is he massaging dudes chest? and why.. man.. never mind.

No offence, but everybody in that video looks challenged in one way or another.
14 Apr 2008 - 12:02
Jesus man, that was painful to watch all the way through. It’s like a damn Dave Chappelle skit or something. The Weezy name drop makes me think this video is at least somewhat recent, which makes me weep for the dated video techniques first and foremost. Did we really need to see Eli in double vision after he screwed up worse than the L.A. Times? What was with the damn heart around his head? And speaking of Weezy, the saddest part of the whole thing is that these guys were clearly influenced by Lil Wayne’s style (See: garbage). See, if they were all rapping like Jay or even Kanye it wouldn’t be as bad, but when you’re watching two mentally challenged rappers, rapping like a mentally challenged rapper….I mean….that shit speaks for it’s own damn self. Actually, I’d go as far to say these guys are a bit better than Wayne. At least I can understand what the fuck they’re saying without having to read the lyrics on the damn Internet. Overall though, I’m not sure if I should be glad I couldn’t get back to sleep or not. That video did provide me with a laugh, but…DAMN. Words just don’t describe it…
14 Apr 2008 - 13:21
Eli made my girl cry…she felt dumb sorry for that kid…she was pissed at me for a day a after sending that link…But what was up with the “man love” the “host” was giving his boy before Eli went in? Super no homo Borat pause!
Note: That embedded clip is playing too fast.

:0 - :20: Marvo is vigorously stroking his lover’s chest. So much in fact that he can’t stay still.
:22 - :25: Envy receives a transmission on his codec from Roy Campbell on frequency 140.85. Eli (Code name Praying Mantis) is preparing to disrupt Envy’s motor functions with a psychic blast this field will short out Envy’s nanomachines.
:26 - :30: Marvo is still rubbing his lover’s manmaries. Jonathan and Steve are uncomfortable.
:33 - :50: Marvo doesn’t waste anytime explaining the rules, but informs the viewers that the contenders only have 45 seconds to spit and if they don’t follow these instructions they are disqualified. Unfortunately he doesn’t explain the rules.
:51 - 1:02: The battle commences. Eli’s blast works. Envy’s nanomachines slightly malfunction, causing a loop in his motor functions. He quickly tries to readjust but he only recovers 40% of his patterns though. Eli didn’t plan on Envy recovering. He nervously dances to fool viewers that he is confident.
1:03 - 1:51: Despite a staggering blow to his motor functions, he spits his verse. Eli is formulating another plan…
1:52 - 2:01 Marvo’s put the battery in his lover’s back. Desperate for screen time, he works on his poses.
2:04 - *Action Pose*
2:07 - 2:17: Eli knows his skill isn’t enough to defeat Envy. He bravely continues on. After his first punchline fails, he springs is trump card into action.
2:18 - 2:50: Unbeknown to the viewer, Eli sold his soul to the Spirit of Silkk The Shocker’s career (1:52). You are now witnessing a possession take place. Envy don’t know what the fuck going on.
2:51 - 3:34: The Spirit of Silkk The Shocker’s Career takes over from here, delivering punchlines such as, “… Rosie O’Donnell at a bi-sexual bridal shower.” However, Eli’s spirit isn’t as dormant as TSOSTS thought. They battle for control.
3:36 - 3:40: ???
3:41: Marvo’s lover gently clasps Marvo’s hands as he places them on his chest. Love is in the air…
3:50 - 4:35: The decision goes to the judges. Apparently, Eli’s mind control works on Jonathan as he gives the battle to Eli. Jeremy (Marvo’s SO) does whatever Marvo tells him to. Steve just wants to salvage the rest of his high school days by leaving as soon as possible.
14 Apr 2008 - 14:35
Why does the “host” have his hands on judge J-Dub??! We need answers.
14 Apr 2008 - 15:20
Damn Just, how did you not get to the Eli part. That is the popular part of the video.
14 Apr 2008 - 15:21
“No wonder he came out, he already in the gay parade”

14 Apr 2008 - 15:21
Fuck it, this deserved a breakdown
http://metallungies.com/2008/04/eli-vs-envy-the-rap-battle-that-changed-the-internets/
14 Apr 2008 - 15:51
Alright here goes
First off we are introduced to the main host Marvo who intros himself by saying” hey der its’ me again” because we clearly remember the last mc battle between Eli and Flavor Flav( Eli barely came through)….. Anyways he then intros the judges ” The (Extra Short)Bus” Jonathan Hodges, J-Dub, and Steven Jackson…whom we assume know Hip Hop and are crediable judges. but anyways Eli The Champ will be facing a new challenger this week with “Envy”……….yeah..Envy……..LET THE BaTtle Begin!!!
they drop the beat and what da ya know…it’s a Just Blaze…it must def be an honor to have Envy flow over you’re track….OHhhhhh Envy gets at the champ by referring to his cripplled walking damn….not a game…he then rhymes the obivous weezy and fasheezy and heezy..yeah dats never been done before…groundbreaking emcee….. Envy feeling the beat so you know he can’t stand still…OHHHh so nice dat he coudlv’e been Marvin’s brother…deep don’t which marvin he referring to ….prob the Martian …anyways while he spits dat line Eli’s is in shock and his are popping out( literaly)…he knows he got a tough one ahead of him..damn hot verse….not even a 45 second verse but good enough to have Eli shook…back to the Judges….Alright the Judges are in shock as they don’t know what to do and with J- Dub feeling on himself…so they know The Champ is got a tough one ahead…but here goes….
Eli from the (Class of 200Infinite) is up next coming off the Flavor Flav battle he is feeling hype up and decided to sport his new navy blue polos since he has like 41 polo shirts.(Just Blaze Diss?)…looking confident they kick offf the beat….Eli( whose fav rapper was Special Ed) starts by caliing himself the best but the worst happens…noooo the Champ is struck since they cut off the beat on him man…….fucked up…they are clearly trying to give Envy the edge so you know its on….Eli( in Shock the whole time) says fuck and comes back hard on 2:48…Rosie reference !!!damn Eli did work on that one….he goes on to let Envy know he was the best that ever did it…we are witnissing History people…ALA Takeover Vs. Ether style shit..The Champ then spits dat Envy was in a Gay Parade and this takes it to another level…Eli has got so much to spit its starting to crunch up in his brain…..to many words in his head….not easy for a man with an IQ below 30.but Amazingly he pulls through calling his rhymes “Clever” ( The Irony!!)..the heart shapes lens shows up on time to show Marv-o holding o to J-dub ..clearly this battle was to much forthe judges to handle!!!
To The Judges!!!
The “Godfather judge ” gives the battle to Eli since he knows that they tried to screw him like they did him on that jersey and hair style…..J -dub gives the battle to Envy cuz he “held it down”( more like put it down)…….1-1 who know whose gonna take it…..the deciding judge is Steve and he gives the vote to Envy!!! because he did “great” while Eli did “good” What type of Shit is that !!!!!!! Anyways the mic gets fucked up and we are left with a shocking decision…..should we really belive that??? And Is Marv-o cheating on Envy wit J-Dub?Till next time on Iron Mic when Envy comes Back and faces Eli again in a revenge match that makes Nas look like Soulja Boy….I know fucked up…….Till NExt Time!!!!
14 Apr 2008 - 15:58
yo …yo ……YO….lol homie i cant stop its wrong but i cant stop….why did the go and get the re-re to spit and expect not to get wet…lmao shame the whole cast came in on the short bus and the host rides the caboose …man this can has to be the funniest shit this year..you can actually see Eli being consumed, possessed overpowered if you will by the wackness…either that or he had a minor turret attack ….i said freakn

Something tells me Eli isn’t necessarily mentally challenged. I think he might have cerebral palsy or something. It’s almost like he couldn’t coordinate what his mind was coming up with and what his body wanted to do. So he froze up. He still had the better lines while the first guy was a horrible impression of the “fabolous” style.
I feel like I’m analyzing way too much for this kind of a freestyle battle though.
14 Apr 2008 - 17:00
Damn, if this is what “Back to the Future” 16’s supposed to look like they might as well had Michael J. Fox leading again.
14 Apr 2008 - 17:23
Yo tell me why they put a heart swipe around my man Eli’s face..
14 Apr 2008 - 17:34
^^^ to play on the fact you gotta luv em
14 Apr 2008 - 18:06
Nah man, the pause in the middle is because Eli said “nigga” twice and they’re telling him off camera to not cuss. He gets cut off at the end (when the heartshape comes on) because he says “fuckin”. He even says “I said freakin”.
Eli gets props though
14 Apr 2008 - 18:25
I posted this on the megatrondon mogulus over the weekend…can’t wait till Wednesday!
As slow as Eli came off, He was still better than that other Cat.
“Look at this Dude, He need to stay in the shade/Ain’t no wonder why He came out, He already in the gay parade.”
Shawty Lo look out….
14 Apr 2008 - 18:55
The ELI mirror shot is gonna be the GIF of 2008. I called it.
14 Apr 2008 - 19:12
this is my play by play analysis.
circa 2005 envy battled eli.
2008 they both get signed to TAG records and collaborated with the likes of tay zonday and william hung.
lol @ the rosie o’donnell namedrop.
14 Apr 2008 - 19:12
Eli is America’s Sweetheart..lmao… and why did I think Marv-O was Mike Tyson since the intro read “iron mic” LMAO..
“He’s like Rosie O’Donnell, at a Bisexual bridal shower”
wow
14 Apr 2008 - 21:09
I would like to actually take my time to break this whole catastrophe down, but unfortunately I don’t have the time nor the proper mental energy and attention that this obvious classic moment in hip-hop requires right now, but I just wanted to put out there that Eli is the GOAT. I do not know yet of what….but Eli is definitely the GOAT of something that I can only hope to understand one day.
14 Apr 2008 - 21:33
And I really need to know: The class of 2005 of what school?? Buy them some new books and desks and all that! Fuck Iraq…save ELI!
15 Apr 2008 - 0:16
man wtf?
15 Apr 2008 - 0:29
damn, Marvo is wild homo.
15 Apr 2008 - 0:56
my favorite part is when Eli has to cover his mouth so that the hot fire that he is spittin’ doesnt burn his opponent. anyways heres a really good breakdown of what is happening… http://tequiero.nimnim.net/lwarnken/2008/04/11/duel-of-the-iron-mic/
15 Apr 2008 - 1:58
he took a couple bars off and let Just live
15 Apr 2008 - 2:18
Ya man Eli ridin w/out a helmet if hiphop ain’t dead Eli just damn sure killed it (beep) (beep) (beep) watch out yall the shortbus is makin a pickup
15 Apr 2008 - 3:32
ELI’S FLOW IS SO ILL, IT’S RETARDED!
15 Apr 2008 - 5:44
yo… I really hate u man. Im goin to hell in a megatrondon Teeshirt for watchin this. and laughin’.
15 Apr 2008 - 6:16
… I left that last comment… b4 I watched the second half of Eli’s segment…
don’t have to count this for commentary… but. Like… I got so many mixed emotions on it… it was recorded on vhs… and edited with equipment from 85… classic… then it had a dude corressin’ another dudes chest… no comment. but for the sake of highly akward uncomfortable homo-erotic comedic moments… also classic… the dude givin hyperactive “rap battle” hand motions on a slow beat… definitely classic… the mentally challenged rapper… unprecedented… but the tiny lister junior faces he made while givin his delivery… classic… the douchebags judgin’ it like that could even be called rapping… wonderous. but the heart swipe on dude face… made me soil myself. it had multiple cameras filming it and all… u just can’t make this stuff up. This destroys my random sense of humor… thanks.
15 Apr 2008 - 9:18
I still don’t know if I should feel bad for continuously finding this video hilarious, but I can’t stop rewatching it. I keep noticing knew shit with each view. It’s like going back to a “Where’s Waldo” page to find all the other funny shit that was missed.
One of the best parts came from A-14: “Both of them did good, but I give it to Envy, cause he did great”.
15 Apr 2008 - 13:37
i everyone my name is just blaze and I had this video before everyone else blah blah blah
15 Apr 2008 - 21:03
The whole thing is surreal.
16 Apr 2008 - 3:28
LMFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOO…..DYING…DYING…DYING…. WTF..>WHY??? HOW? WHAT? hahahahah dude is SERIOUSLY massaging his boys chest…ELi sees something in the stars….
LMFAO @ Envy, who thinks he’s GOOD…and HARD …up against slow ass Eli. He’s even trying to work some type of swag…LMFAO…not working.
“u need to stop talkin junk…but i gotta run up on the kat with the pump”
What kind of pump are we talkin about Envy?????
Eli was ready to grab that mic RIGHT after…lol…so he’s not aaaaas slow as we think…lmao…he twitched like he wanted it.
Justin, I think your beat hypnotized him for a sec because he started…then was like “wait i like this part of the beat” …stops and mouths “i reary meanit..iiii”
jeeeezuz…forget this..lmfao…
Yo seriously tho…i don’t think i saw Eli blink ONCE…i think he wets his eyeballs by rolling them in the back of his head. He tries not to miss a THING!
WOWWWWW….so funny…..funk crying, he’s alright…Eli’s doin cool. lmao…
lmao@ tourettes comment
16 Apr 2008 - 3:31
PS
lmao at Eli’s awkward silence….i think he saw the patterns seen thru a kaleidoscope
16 Apr 2008 - 22:17
I wish I could comment but for fear of going to hell I think I’m gonna have to pass on this one. But really this has gotta be the best video I’ve seen in quite a long time
16 Apr 2008 - 22:43
[…] Just Blaze posted the original version of I Really Mean It Don’t […]
17 Apr 2008 - 2:43
I guess I’m going to HELL….because I’m STiiiiiiiLL CRYING at this….
“they both did good….but he did great!!”
17 Apr 2008 - 5:10
Ok I just can’t help it. So the video starts off with ya boy Marv-O looking like he has a terrible case of Parkinsons but soon it is revealed that the fact of the matter is he just grinding the shit outta the big homie J-Dub’s back while ever so gently rubbing his upper body down. Marv-O lays down the rules, kinda, and then sends it over to Envy to get shit started (This is really just a front to get the camera off of Marv-O and J-Dub can get their grown man business on). Envy spits a fairly forgetable verse when you take into account whats coming up. We pop back over to Marv-O and J-Dub shaking around and the other two d-bags just sitting there obviously disgusted by what just happened (off-camera). Marv-O also seems to possibly be doing his pants up. Up next is the GOAT, Class of 05 bitch, ELI. Eli starts off by telling us he has one question and he really was not lying, sure it was one question and a statement to go along but after that I’m pretty sure he stopped and wrote a verse, using the Jay-Z or T.I. no paper and pen method, before continuing. During his writing break the video editor found some neat effects that he could use and tried them out, or Eli multiplied which wouldn’t be suprising from this god among men. So Eli comes back with a vengence claiming his spot as “the best” and showing no love for homo/bisexuals. He messes up about half way through but he’s not shook and continues to rip shit up doing the beat justice. We then get back to Marv-O and J-Dub’s shenanigans which being, fittingly, in a heart. Johnathan, seemingly the only person with sense, or just the only one who doesn’t approve of J-Dub and Marv-O’s antics and was not offended by the Gay Parade reference, gives it to the God MC Eli. While the others crown Envy because he’s the better looking one and their dying to have someone new join them in the shower when they leave.
17 Apr 2008 - 12:59
MARV-O GETTIN REAL COZY WITH HIS BOY…
Eli distracted by Marv’s geisha status massage techniques and fumbles an almost flawless free… Envy takes it home!
17 Apr 2008 - 20:36
hey just, my fiance who is a doc-in-training says that eli has all the physical and behavioral symptoms of someone who suffers from fetal alcohol syndrome. she was mad at me for laughing so hard but i told to just watch the whole thing and she chuckled.
19 Apr 2008 - 9:37
LOL @ play by play analysis especially the one by Mafamaticks.
Watch out for that new Eli Mixtape..It has appearances by Lil Wayne, Silk The Shocker, and Flava Flav.
21 Apr 2008 - 16:04
I’m the best mayne…I really mean it!
24 Apr 2008 - 23:03
Just Blaze, I totally agree with you about how awful this video truly is. It is worse than watching the bloopers of Flava of Love. It seems to me these young gents have access to either a school or community makeshift television studio. Eli, in no relation to Eli Stone from the new hit ABC television show, seems to be mentally impaired. Initially, I wondered who entrusted Eli to be in the care of these five other young boys? I am first to advocate mentally impaired people can be self-sufficient, but I’m wondering why he is under their care and what in the world made them think this video is proper to shoot and upload to Youtube? I understand that young boys do foolish things, but disgracing a mentally handicapped child is appalling.
Now, I’ll move to my man Marv-O. His hosting skills are below par. Secondly, why does he have his hands around Jeremy like he is a love puppet. Also, why do Johnathan, Jeremy, and Steve look more lost than astute judges. Marv-O sounds like he is reading the rules, too.
I’m tired of rappers saying “yo” more than words that rhyme. Why aren’t rappers rhyming any more? Envy is horrible. Eli’s wit kills him. Eli even followed the beat better. When did rappers get so bad that mentally challenged people could out freestyle them?
Okay, the three stooges were “reppin’” street culture with all their cool vernacular. I mean let me pose and talk at the same time for the camera. The Black community is plagued with middle-class tough guy street talk. Can we have a moment of honesty and shame? Honestly, this is not embarrassing for Eli, he killed Envy, and I believe he would probably handle the other four in a battle. Now, these guys should be ashamed for making us listen to an ignorant nonsensical rapper while trying to make fun another teenager thats mentally challenged. At the end, they seemed more mentally challenged than my man, Eli.
Oh, who in the hell is holding the camera? And, does youtube condone the word “Nigga” “Nigger” or any other deviation that refers to people of African descent? I answered some questions, but they led to others.
Cheers,

0:11 Our host Marv-O introduces the viewers to the spectacle that’s about to take place while bobbing and weaving for the camera. The benefits are two fold: Marv-O gets to appear less awkward in front of the audience and at the same time evade any unexpected attacks.
1:15 Envy comes out swinging with the “walking crippled” line. Eli gives a fuck.
1:30 Eli is part of a top-secret government research project, code-named “Project HOV”, designed to build the perfect rapper through science. Millions of bars of lyrics have been laser-etched into the back of Eli’s eye sockets. Eli is doing a quick review of the material before he takes possession of the mic.
1:35 Envy struggles with how hard to portray himself in his rhymes, alternating “not selling rocks” and “never with the gats” with “anybody want it they can get it”. He finally decides to go all in with “roll up on the cat with the pump”. The “yeah mayne” at the end is completely devoid of confidence, as Envy realizes he has just said some shit he can’t take back and he’s going to get tested at school on Monday. If you look closely, Eli turns and smirks at Envy because he knows Envy is truly soft.
1:50 Your boy J-Dub acts like a douchebag for several seconds.
2:07 Eli gets right down to business, drops a couple of bars, then powers up the Bisexual Bridal Shower Super Smash technique. The energy required to do this creates a rift in the space-time continuum, and forces him to stop spitting for several seconds.
3:25 There is a bug in Eli’s programming, causing him to spit the line “roasted like ever”. Eli remembers the non-stop practice sessions of the past four years and quickly regains composure.
3:36 Eli rejoices
3:52 “It had to be better than last time”. Obviously.
3:57 Four minutes later and Marv-O still can’t keep his hands off his boy toy, Jeremy AKA J-Dub.
4:32 resounding applause

Eli is from Atlanta Georgia. This video was taped at Chamblee High School. The school had a problem with students rapping in the hallways so they decided to give the students a show as a compromise. Eli is mentally challenged so its kinda fucked up how everyone has played him out, but you can’t deny that its kinda funny even if it is wrong. Late
