Calicoe>>>>>>Tay Roc no matter what deez Exon gas pumps got to say bout it

Cal ain't been the same since he got that work.

Fat drunk Cal is going to die like everyone else that's stood in front of Roc this year.

Cal is utter trash. nikkas hate on B Magic and JC, nikkas that can actually write, but praise Calicoe. I wouldn't be sad if the nikka never step foot in any venue ever again.

How much original quality talent does KOTD actually have?
Not the guys from GT West (which turned into the KOTD Fresh Coast), but the KOTD Canada guys.

Pat Stay - who Calicoe made to look like a sucka & fake tough guy

Charron - entertaining but really really corny

Kid Twist - entertaining, but I have to be in the mood to hear him rap. He will never be completely credible as a "rapper" in my eyes

100 Bullets - getting better and better, but he doesn't garner much excitement, no matter what

Bender - fell off. Has a nice 00's NYC underground rap flow thing going on, but isn't motivated/isn't built for the spotlight

Hollohan - fell off harder than Bender, drug addict emo tough guy, but he has star quality

Loe Pesci - humiliated by Daylyt, totally disappeared

I'm not white, so I don't have a reason to care about their battles if they aren't entertaining to me. And those bs ebony/ivory matches they have been putting on the last 2 years didn't help things much. I'm a huge fan of Avocado's camera work, but that doesn't change who is battling.

The old school West Coast guys have talent, but I don't relate much, and truthfully I think they lack in entertainment value somewhat too. Outside of Pass & Illmac, most of them don't sound good rapping. And that overdone multi style is just as corny as spelling words in the air to me. If you ask me that whole Fresh Coast scene was on some undercover racist shyt imo, but was forced to keep up with the times when Smack started dominating.

I'm not going to make myself to care about KOTD on some PC shyt. I care a little about Iron coming back, but that's because I rock with the whole End Of the Weak (EOW) movement so I have respect for him outside of battle rap.

I guess it's in how you define "KOTD." I'm just talking about the league as a whole and their record of battles/events. I guess I don't really care much who the original talent is. Even moreso for DF (no clue who is on their main roster). I just see all the leagues for the events they put on, and how often a good battle comes of it. Seems kind of even for that cluster I mentioned (not just dikkriding KOTD). Not saying I disagree that many of KOTD's "main" roster is corny/old, but I garner similar feelings towards RBE, URL, SDH, whatever.

SDH needs change their name from Spit Dat Heat to "shyt, Dats Horrible"

Calicoe>>>>>>Tay Roc no matter what deez Exon gas pumps got to say bout it

Calicoe was never that nice. I give him his credit for bodying Math and Nuborn, but other than that, all his other wins consist of battles where his opponents were slightly more trash than he was, so he won by default (Rex, Hitman, Surf)

this exactly

 

[noodles]

Calicoe bodies Math, Surf n Hitman but somehow he's trash....smh

 

[dutchie]

Red killed Cal imo. Cals third was funny but Red barred his life away.

 

[Delicious]

Word life every time ya'll nikkas start talking about Cal being anything but wack I get

 

[Reptile]

Yes. Get this gimmick shyt the fuk outta here. Next thing you know we gonna have a battlerap Royal rumble.

"once i whoop yo ass who you gon call

Rex?

MOOK? " - math



"only time math get shine, is when his hat is off cuz he got da, bald head, my 40? got da long leg " - shine







edit: holy shyt i never noticed this

5:41 - "that brooklyn workout the only reason that you lost weight" - math

camera guy : MMM MMMM MMMMM

I actually want to see more shyt like that. Even better, an actual Royal Rumble. 32 nikkas on stage / outside barring each other.

Red killed Cal imo. Cals third was funny but Red barred his life away.

I thought Red went off also, but realistically Cal's 3rd affected O-Red's career more in the long run than all 3 of O-Red's did Cal. So with that in mind, O-Red had some nice bars, but he ain't kill nothing. He would probably take that battle back if he could. That story is killing him even worse than "There's no crying in URL".

When Cal said "There's a difference between metaphors and real rap" it's not just a cool slogan.

 

[ReasonableMatic]

Cal is straight TRASH, nikkas can't be serious defending him

 

[MicIsGod]

Don't really care for cal but he gave hitman that WORK

 

[FreshAIG]

Calicoe is straight. Not his biggest fan by any means but he's not a push over.

He's one of those guys that I think could beat punchline/heavy bar rappers (B Magic, Con) but would struggle against rappers with good angles (Mook, Hollow)
