Even if he spit it perfectly he doesn't punch enough for this era. Just like the other guys I mentioned.

There's always room for guys that have their own distinctive style. Verb does not have a dated style.

I think it's a misnomer that you have to be a puncher in this era
The two biggest battlers right now aren't good punchers (Tay Roc and Brizz)

FACTS
The best way to hit has always been with imagery
"His soul flyin, I'm still firing, even his guardian angel duck!" - Verb
"I do this nikka greasy on his corner like the cutman" - Lux
"I make a bad scene, grab weave and pull her down the block.. that's a dragqueen!" - Qleen
"I'll have his body layin halfway out the bag like a hashbrown!" - Brizz
It's always been this way, the current era simply doesn't realize it yet
Brizz gives you line after line with no real storytelling or cohesion, he isn't that good at metaphors but he is still punching heavy at least in my definition.
I think Verb's style is among the most timeless. He's just trash at every other aspect now. Fans were willing to try to give Verb passes for years (all that "focused verb" talk) because of how good he really could be. He's just not good at delivering plus his personality is truly pathetic now.

So are fans gonna complain about KOTD blockin battles like they do when URL does 
Circumstances are different, URL blocking some battles was a good thing. Protecting 1 battlers momentum and keeping them from whoring themselves out...some of them blocked outta spite.So are fans gonna complain about KOTD blockin battles like they do when URL does
KOTD blocking this one is protecting their brand/champion. No matter league, stage or venue not just anyone gets a shot at the champ. Besides i wouldnt book my champ on UDubb either
I wasn't feeling the JC Vs Lux match up initially , but if Lux actually wants that battle , fukk it

Rum Nitty, B Magic, Ill Will
Them three on the same squad is kinda fire tho..
My problem is, Swave don't have any pull on URL so why would B Magic even clique up with them.
I don't wanna say "protection in NY" but that's the only thing that comes to mind as of right now.
He prolly would get paid to shoot their videos on top of that

Why doesn't Verb's studio confidence translate onto the battle rap stage anymore? He's too dope of a lyricist to be going out like this
I'll support his music though because he's cold to me.
