can't believe I'm about to say this

But DNA deserves a match up with lux.

I will have to hold back my vomit when they announce it

But I can't be a hater, dna done put in a ton of work.

At this point I feel like Lux might owe him that. But yeah, there is a part of me that's kinda revolted by the idea.

300 murders a year
Breh you talking cray now.
The amount of work doesnt matter if its mostly trash.
Uno lavoz has a shyt load of battles. So does Charron. They deserve it too?
its more than just a lot of battles

dna has hit national stages on several occasions. he basically made 2 on 2 's a thing that can turn into a entire event for url, he brought in sponsors, he has traveled the planet on battle rap, every city, every league, been on b.e.t, been on jermaine dupri's show, he has brought in a ton of fans, he is currently my sister and my sons favorite battle rapper, again its not a personal choice. i would still rather see lux vs verb personally, but at this point i cant justify verb getting a shot over dna, dna has pushed the envelope and contributed more to the culture.

anybody here knows how much i dislike dude, but i have to be honest here.

I respect what he did/does for battle rap but based on skills he doesnt deserve it.

Hollow did before as well

"Not all money is good money" - Hollow

Them nikkas jut move different, it shows in their status/respect/price

It's a difference..

And they still make more money battling a couple times per year than most make battling a dozen times.
Verb couldve done the same if he didnt fukk up his brand.

Now I see why DNA seems to dislike Lux so much. The only way DNA could ever talk shyt to Lux is if Lux falls off, or if DNA beats Lux in a battle. Until then, Lux can little man him on some
"I remember when Cor used to bring you around to try to get you in the building with the killers....... *chuckles*.... you came a long way handsome"

Promo for a DNA vs Lux battle would actually be really dope. Unfortunately the styles just don't match-up well.

I'm about to listen, but it makes sense that DNA seems to sort of have a dislike for Lux. DNA is actually one of the more objective guys in battle rap, but when it comes to Lux, it's always "Lux lost, he needs to change it up, blah blah blah," on some hater shyt. To find out Lux didn't want him on Lionz Den, as well as refusing to battle him on SM2, just shows he doesn't think much of him as a battler.

The reality of it is, if I were a high status battle rapper, I couldn't battle anyone that I didn't think is nice. Imagine asking me to battle Todd. I don't think Hollow would ever battle Todd, because he doesn't think he's any good. I don't if he was just talking or if he legitimately believes it.

I actually like DNA as a battle rapper, AFTER the style change.

It started with the Rosenberg Raw battle. He lost that battle pretty clearly, but I liked the way he came at him. That is actually a dope one round battle by the way. Prior to that battle, DNA was always just a hit or miss guy. Punchlines you could see coming a mile away. When I think about it, Eness probably acted the way he did, because he probably didnt respect DNA's rap game at all. He seemed oblivious as to why the crowd was cheering for him.:russ:

K-Shine is another guy I did not like at all prior to NWX. I thought his battle with Tay Roc was dope. He had some good round here and there, but other than that, I couldn't even listen to him. If yall remember, I use to attack K-Shine all the time.

I really feel both guys got better once they clicked up. I'm curious why this hasn't rubbed off on Big T. I am very disappointed in Big Terrance, who is too hit or miss.

Big T really would be fine if he had better breath control and was in better shape. His style is still pretty unique and he's come with bars, but he has trouble finishing half of his lines. Even in his legendary first round against Shine he was running out of breath at the end of some of his hardest lines.
