DNA can't be on it because he literally has no impact that isn't personal. To be Mount Rushmore imo you have to have impact beyond yourself

Gimmicks/Props (the bomb vs Rone)

Round ending slogans (not phrases, but slogans)

Is considered to be the brains behind NWX's business model

Brought back 2 on 2's

All of these have impacted the culture as a whole

Plus he helped bridge the gap between backpacker battling & street battling

Since Mazi died I keep thinking about Math's 3rd vs. John John Da Don

"When Young Mazi was fukking up your brothers car, why you ain't go get that nikka?
I heard Mazi got hit up though, but you wasn't with that nikka
Cause you bytch ass nikkas ain't the get back nikkas, you the get back nikkas" - Math
Math really a legend out here. I hate how battle rap disrespects the OGs.

This was Mook on Facebook live breaking down Alpha and Omega. He talks about Ars/Surf shyt early on, rejoins and breaks down the card around the 12 minute mark


I'm paraphrasing but check out what Mook said regarding Rex

"You know what the problem is? He's gotta start working out, that's it. I think I'm gonna talk to him about that. That's messing up his performance. Rex use to be slimmer."

my only question is

how can you disqualify verb for his half ass battles which takes him from mt rushmore

but leave dizaster and his numerous trash battles and performances yet leave him on?
That's a fair enough point, Diz is really hit or miss and he messes up battles being extra and emotional, things others get taken to task for more

I guess you have a point, specifically with the gimmicks and 2 on 2s but I don't feel that's enough to overtake any of these guys: Lux, Ars, Mook, Diz, Verb, Rex. Hollow and Serius we can talk about.

I think that definitely plays a factor. Rex really is a fat slob now. Wait, can I call a Crip a slob? that's kinda ironic.

Rex is really crip?

Funny thing is when I was growing up is that the Crips always looked dirty, as if they never took pride in their appearance, while the bloods were sort of the opposite.

Hollow did that not DNA.

Everything else you named ain't worth a damn. I'll give you the slogan but that's it.

lol yeah he is

A lot of people in my family are Crip/Folk, and most of them are scumbags and grimey, but not necessarily dirty lol

C'mon. Four battlers went from GT to URL.
Cortez, Conceited, DNA & Hollow.
We can't give Hollow credit and not DNA based off of personal preference.

Hollow and Conceited made the transition effortlessly. DNA didn't. It took him a while to earn respect on URL. They helped bridge the gap not DNA.
