I don't want to kill Kiki too much because getting in front of a camera is hard but boy does she sound lost every time she speaks. smfh.
Battle rap culture is so crazy that Nunu Nellz has a swagger jacker. Kiki seems like a cool person, but she's all over the place for no specific reason. There was really just a year of her being at every event and jumping in front every camera, now she's a credible battle rap person all of a sudden. Does she blog, have a podcast or something? I don't get it. I mean I don't mind looking at her, but where did she come from?
Yeah I don't get it. I thought like you, she was the UDubb version of NuNu. After seeing her at multiple events I assumed she was someone's girl. And at least Nu Nu held strong in her convictions and is able to express herself properly. Kiki just sounds lost and in over her head.
NuNu's come up (if you wanna call it that) is kinda interesting. She finagled her way from being a hype-woman for Boss Chick Raine to being friends with Drake and Nicki Minaj in a couple years. Good stuff.

My Soundtrack is the second “Carter”
Jaz fit right in. RIGHT IN. GOD DAMN.
Out of all the guests (Vada/Slave/Kiki) Jaz seemed like she been there from the beginning.
Make Jaz a regular. Not like she battling. #Microwavegang

Are you really gonna act like them couple battles in the DVD era mattered?
ALL them nikkas back then still battle today
Lux
Hollow
Serius
You wanna be content with a 5-0 nikkas litteraly walked away from.
A a 3-0 where he was just less trash than Lux was, do you
But let's not act like Mook competed
When we got clear examples of what that actually is.
Lux actually went and battled Cal
Lux actually went and battled Clips
Lux actually went and battled Hollow
Lux actually went and battled Mook
Lux actually went and battled Clips
Lux actually went and battled Arsonal
Lux is CURRENTLY making the JC battle happen cause that's what the fans want
What exactly has Mook done over the years
You said Clips twice, but still this post has me thinking. If Lux has a strong showing against JC and Mook remains inactive, I have no problem putting Lux back in that top spot. It was easy to put Mook at no.1 after beating Lux, but Lux has battled twice since then.
Whether you think he wins or loses, Lux is trying to craft something special each time out. You can actually go back and breakdown his method of approaching each opponent. Not just the bars, but the theatrical element too. What if he changed this? What if he talked about this topic more, and that topic less? What if he put more emphasis on this line?
We don't really know if Mook can put together something with replay value in this era. I could see people putting Hollow in the top spot, but Hollow wrote 3 rounds for Pat Stay and I have no interest in ever hearing those rounds again. He wrote 3 for Joe Budden and I have no interest in hearing those again. He wrote a 5 minute (or whatever) round for Dizaster, and I have no interest in hearing it ever again. One day I may rewatch the Hitman Holla/Hollow battle, but I don't really need to because that battle was a dud.

One of the few times I checked out Champion and y'all right, Jaz is a good fit. Don't mind Vada and Tech is that nikka. Just as long as they don't bring back Rome DMV, I'll watch this.

Personally I dont think the Diz vs. Oxxxy battle has any replay value..
I dont want to see that again.
Number Wise, Yes it's Crazy but other than that.. Verb vs, Dot will have more replay value.
Everybody trying to kiss ass in hopes they can get a piece of that Oxxxy Machine..
Once bloggers see that their Youtube numbers are not expanding,they will hop off Oxxxy Nuts..

Yo,
Diz really got bodied by this Oxxxy guy
Oxxxy was dope
I don't think he did. It was actually a good battle and it was close. I just think nikkas are so used to giving Diz a loss that its easy to attack him at this point. I mean, he fukked up with the Hollow battle but before the quoting Lux incident (which he tried to do), he was goin' in on Hollow. Everyone talks about the second time around when him and Cassidy battled and but the first time, Diz was cookin' him and Cassidy even stumbled before they rematched it. He did fukk up against Serius Jones tho. Just my opinion tho....
It's bugged, but when you think the dearth of decent looking women in battle rap, how poorly these battle events are run, and the sheer amount of unhelpful, wanna be cool mofos that fill up the stage at any given Smack event, it makes more sense. Every event, Nunu was doing WHATEVER she could to help it run smoother. When she hosts events, it seems like she really tries to keep them orderly, plus she cares about how the footage comes out. She's not afraid to bark on people when they aren't quiet. It helps that she's a woman, because otherwise some of those loud dudes in the crowd would be looking for a fight if you told them to "shut the fukk up". Her being center stage for so many big Smack battles was her come up, because I'm sure that's how most celebs know of her. Her networking and grind took care of the rest. She blew past Raine because Raine is a battle rapper herself, and has an ego. What became of the "Bosschick" movement? Even with the interviews Raine does now, I feel like she's trying to portray something and it seems awkward.
There was that time period where the only person involved with Smack that actually wanted to be in front of a camera was Norbes. That probably helped make her a little more tolerable too.

Well, I dunno bro...she did on that platform but that Rapmatic shyt looks slick tho. The cam quality and the website. Raine Boss Chick on the come up herself.
