Well, it happened and it was an amazing event that got people talking all day before the event and for hours after the event had ended.
It was so amazing that what was supposed to be a 10 for 10 hits morphed into both artists playing 15 of their biggest hits. They both used the opportunity to educate fans on the backstories behind each song.
The event was well documented to preserve the gorgeous display of music history on display during the battle.

MI is arguably the biggest hiphop artiste out of Africa but Naeto C was an icon.
If i recall correctly, when Kini bid deal video dropped, Nigerians had never seen so much drip in a video.
Super C popularized d military salute along with the phrase "yes boss".

1. New Musician at MTV AMA.
2. Video of the Year at Channel O Music Awards.
3. Artiste of the Year at Headies.
4. Album of the Year at Headies.
5. Best Breakthrough Act at the MTV AMAThe disrespect!

I'm a Fan of Jude and Naeto C
Incredible body of work from the both of them.
This battle isn't to point out who is better, its an opportunity to enjoy the classics and be thankful for these legends.
