Lux, Verb, Ill and Big T specifically were the ones that rapped unorthodox out of the 4bar format structure.

You pretty much named my favorite battlers.

For me its about balance. I can't listen to a "pen" guy that brings no sort of entertainment and can't perform, but I can't listen to a performer that has absolutely no bars.

It's the same thing for me when it comes to music. I'd rather listen to guys like Biggie, Jay-Z,AZ, etc than someone who is just spitting with no sort of charisma.

Yeah I know, I heard the interview on AFM where Mickey explained his role in URL back then. He criticized Norbes and got him in his feelings :mjlol:

Speaking of Norbes. Its no surprise that BattleRap Arena and War Report fell through when he was involved :mjlol:

Also doesnt help that AFM came through and crushed the buildings

It's fair to say Norbes is the most expendable guy on the URL staff.

He is the main reason why I was complaining about the lack of entertainment for SM6. No one is trying to see this guy in front of the camera talking about what he felt was the outcome of the battle. He's a terrible media personality.

He's a mediocre recruiter. I always like how he would say "I don't watch other people battle, someone has to bring them to me to get my attention." Nygga you are a recruiter, why you trying to act like you are too cool to watch other nyggas battle? And if that really is your method, why are you needed?

Hollow has a clear trend on how he selects his opponents, therefore unless Math goes on some sort of streak, I don't see it happening.

I do find it interesting that you have three guys in particular, which are DNA, Arsonal, & Dizaster, that don't really have to go on any sort of streak to make battles hot. Part of their brand is that they are "top tier high volume/battle anywhere at anytime win, lose, or draw" battle rappers, so loses just don't ever effect them. Math doesn't have that luxury though. He needs to win

Dna arsonal and dizaster are safe bets

Any opponent knows that even if they lose to either of them because of how mediocre all of them are, the damage won't be so much that it hurts the standing of that current battle rapper. You could lose to dna and it will always be , well I didn't feel motivated etc. Cause it's dna. Those guys are safe matches for anyone.

You know what's weird? How did anyone ever have surf winning vs hollow:picard:
I wanna say I did too at one point I gotta check the thread. Hollow won the 2nd and 3rd very very clear. My bad y'all I'm high on a classic battle binge.
Yeah, you're high.

Surf beat Hollow pretty clearly.

No telling durango

In ONE battle brehs:

-AR on the hip
-H your L on the LOW
-Tell where the DU-RANG-GO
-One word to describe the (k)night, Brandon (what is a Brandon night?)
-Ugly crime scene they CSI (see us out?) Miami
-Patience/Flacco Ravens Superbowl
-Nothing MMG
-Wherever we MEEK
-Hollow says "You watched Full House, cool I do to." Surf's rebuttal is "Danny Tanner means you watched it too!" (Don Demarco)
-URN N ASH.... That's NASH! (Don Demarco)
-GPS p*ssy like urinary tracking
-How Low they gon bury him (Howlow?)
-Probably had Lux jail cell pictures on his wall for decor? (Said it completely wrong)

As much as I hate Surf.. this don't even sound like him.. somebody had to ghost write those bars. :mjlol:

How you going to have a ghostwriter to give you some of the worst bars in existence of battle rap? :hhh:
