There Was Once An Epic Battle Between Rappers And Superheroes

"What if I had the power to gather all of my favorite emcees/With the illest comic book characters and they became arch enemies? / Inconceivable? Unbelievable? Yet as wild as it seems, The Emperor and Stan Lee would coach the two opposing teams..."

This is Stan Lee

He's created some pretty ill comics

So what would happen if there was some random ass beef between some of the biggest names in both Hip Hop and comics? Last Emperor (and most of us for that matter) wanted to find out so he penned the 1998 classic "Secret Wars" and we got some interesting match ups. Let's take a look

*Full Disclosure: There was a "Secret Wars Part II" but, like with most sequels, that shit was kinda wack so lets just act like it never happened.

"Now the next fight was conducted in a rough-like manner / specifically between Reggie Noble and Dr. David Banner / or should I say The Incredible Hulk when he's amped off of gamma / but Reggie Noble soon became The Incredible Redman and slammed him / you know how Redman gets when his adrenaline starts pumping / starting schitzing in the ring so then The Thing tried to jump in / Ben Grimm leaps into the ring and after Redman he lunges / 'But Reggie Noble dropped him with two Brick City punches!'"

There Was Even Guest Commentary By Common (formerly known as Common Sense)

"While the refs clean out the ring because the last fight was so intense / let's do live interview with my brother named Common Sense / 'Yeah, yeah it's Common Sense and Iceman tried to freeze me / so I took him to Chicago and told him to take it easy / he couldn't see me with my apple jack hat and high tops / Colossus and Cyclops? I got No I.D. and Y-not"
