Battle Rap Journalist Michael Hughes, spoke with Murda Mook about the upcoming clash between Joe Budden vs Hollow Da Don in this clip from his exclusive interview with VladTV.  Opposite of what the majority of Battle Rap fans are expecting, Mook thinks that people are seriously sleeping on Joe, and that Joe will surprise many people when it comes time for them to battle.  One thing that Mook believes Joe has in his favor is "shock value."  

Since everyone has heard Hollow battle numerous times already, people already know what to expect from him.  Joe on the other hand, has never had an on-camera battle and nobody knows just how skilled he could potentially be in this format, therefore, Mook believes that people may react more to hard bars from Joe Budden which could tip the scales of the battle.
