I've been telling nikkas that Lux is overrated. There are nicer lyricist than Lux out there, but nikkas don't want to fukk with them. :yeshrug:
I'ma have to CS this thought tho. Lux's notoriety may be slightly more rooted in when he started battling over what he brings to battles. Don't twist it, he has bars. But his bars are intricate, hard to follow, wordy, and complex. All of these things without a shadow of a doubt would get booed on the stage were it anyone but Lux.

That's more of a testament to his longevity, his brand, and the scarcity with which he gets on the stage.

Mook has a similar vibe, but his brand is "weaker" with the fans due to the quality of his wins through time. Recycled bars, low quality wins, and unmemorable performances.

Sad thing is, both of these dudes could change their brand in one move. If Mook gets on URL stage and bodies a new age dude, fans (not TBZ dudes) will knight him. If Lux gets on the stage and gets bodied by a new age dude, shyt's going to get real suspect fast.

Dumb had some stuff, but Diz smoked him. They both took the same approach but Diz was much better.
I won't be shocked if this goes viral.

Lux inspired all these guys who are top tier now. Then he came back and put on great performances against two guys from this era. He has nothing left to prove, not sure why you guys keep putting him on the same category as Mook. Maybe you guys only know THIS era of battling, I dunno. He's a legend.
I'm going to get my Tsu Surf on for a sec.
Jordan pushed off vs Byron Russell before he hit the game winner in his face. Is it fair? No. But does that mean Byron Russell can hang with Jordan? Never.
