Essential The Official Battle Rap Random Thoughts Thread (URL, KOTD, UW etc...)

[wizworld]

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.

You can't rewrite history bro, not sure what type of shyt you on.
The footage tells us DNA didn't have trouble transitioning.
DNA always got the big love from the crowd, look at his first few URL battles. People just think he's a weirdo.

Did anyone peep that Caps/Angryfan is on Sean Price new album? Lmao. They sample him on the intro and at the end of "Ape in his Apex"

It's not just the intro/outro, the background adlibs & sound effects are all from an Angryfan blog. It's fire how the producer put that together.

Yeah that's fire

It's always cool to see battle rappers and those in the culture get recognition. Not too surprising since Sean Price and Rockness are both Team Homi. I even saw Rock at the RBE event I went to earlier this year.

Hollow beat Big T of course he had more respect than DNA.

I played Street Fighter all night and never once did I pick Balrog

Still doesn't prove your point.
When I watch DNA v Surf & DNA v Oun P I see DNA getting a lot of love.

I wonder if Caps got a check off this

Like I said before, I hope Chris is proven innocent and then returns to battlerap blogging on some Tupac. He could do an Untold Truth on himself and expose everybody like that Vibe Interview from Pac



Chris has to be feeling pisses off after seeing how the culture reacted to him getting locked up

pac died at age 25, nikka looks older than jay-z

"Is it too late for you to battle Verb?"

"Yes, yes, absolutely."

There will be no Pac slander here sir

I'm talking about respect not love from the crowd. Hollow was at the top of the pecking order after the Big T battle. Surf wasn't Surf when DNA faced him and Oun P wasn't a URL regular. DNA wasn't respected by his URL peers out the gate like Hollow. He was known for losing every battle on Grind Time until he upset Rone so how can you argue his position over Hollow?

Hollow was top tier on Grind Time using jokes, rebuttals, and street material and he was top tier on URL doing the same thing.

Again, Hollow bridged the gap more than DNA did.

I don't think so because he said he didn't know about it

To be fair when DNA faces Oun P it was in baby stages of URL, there were no regulars at that time

 

[dappadonna]

" He look like how Magic Johnson should look "

Oun P first round is classic

I think Hollow kept having bigger battles and bigger moments overall than DNA did have an impact on his status. Plus, Hollow showed his range in battling a little earlier than DNA did. I feel like DNA would battle whoever he needs to but I don't think he explored it well like Hollow did. Its really a timing thing. Plus, DNA gets complained about when he is on every card. Hollow's stock went up so much, he was able to wait and choose who he wants to battle to make it sure its a bigger event when it happens. I give DNA credit for becoming very prolific as far as battling; win or lose. But I think Hollow really did some things in his battles that gave him stand out moments to gain higher status in battle.
