Daylyt, Verb, Surf, and Diz all had the money available. They were all told no for various reasons, but because battle rap wants to make these guys gods we don't attach the word ducking to their names.

I don't consider these guys "Gods." We are having a discussion. You are saying they ducked these guys. Please provide us more information.

Based on the information I currently know, the only scenario where there appeared to be a duck is Lux/Verb. You obviously have more information than someone such as myself, therefore I am asking for you to elaborate.

You kicked off this discussion. Educate us.

Signed artists don't get $50k for nine minutes :hhh:

Especially $50k from a rich battle rap fan, not a company on the stock market :gucci:

Battle Truth isn't the smartest guy but he has some hustle knowledge and he broke it down how Mook fukked up an easy $1,000,000 run in this shyt. Someone else said it before these guys are still trying to use battles to get popping musically which is why they ducked the Holla/Surf/Clips/Verb etc. etc. era. Now that money isn't on the table (FilmON, Teddy Grizzly, Shady Records) and they are on the outside looking in.

Lux and Mook ducked an entire era and cost themselves hundreds of thousands of dollars if not a million each doing so. That speaks volumes. Even Cassidy took a battler in this era.
They don't, so if it was just a regular battle he shoulda and woulda took the 50K.
But if you're talking TV, shyt changes, A LOT..

Cause usage/portrait rights / buy-outs come into play.
So to just compare signed rappers not getting 50K for 9minutes on stage is highly flawed..

Just tryna put y'all on game

These are all facts. People also have a good case to keep Rex off the Mt Rushmore because of how many times that he's been killed coupled with the horrible performances he's put on the last 5 years

Rex has to be on there. He built Smack along with Mook.

If it's about consistency DNA and Roc might as well be on there. Everyone's resume is flawed. Either they don't battle enough or they battle too much with poor performances. I tend to lean towards impact and that's Lux, Mook, Rex, and Hollow.

The only event that was on TV was Total Slaughter. Which Lux and Mook battled in. And you see who they battled.

Talking about portrait rights as if URL or KOTD gives a fukk about that :mjlol:

Lux and Mook are the only undebatable names IMO, and I was never a Mook fan. I'd semi-reluctantly give Rex 3rd. He has been tarnishing his legacy. If he either returns to form or retires, his spot is somewhat safe

The last spot is up for grabs, though if they didn't fall off and fukk around, the last two would be Verb and Clips, respectively. Clips was a year from GOAT and blew it:snoop:

Hollow and Diz (fukk Diz though) could be in the convo. Roc is getting there slowly but surely.

I cant wait for Loaded Lux take on the Trick Trick situation plus that white boy who punked him, I think this battle gonna ne a classic.
