Mook is gonna find an angle to neutralize everything Verb says while spitting ass bars in between for another clear win that nobody will ever rewatch

If Verb raps at his highest level then there is no neutralizing that, even if Mook "wins". Verb's best is arguably more compelling than Mook's best. The problem is he's just he's never gotten back to that prime Verb that battled SB/Hollow/Miles/Math/Marvwon.

So what happens if Hitman beats Roc and Verb beats Mook?

Hitman beats the face of URL
Verb beats the face of battle rap.


The shyt talking those 2 are gonna do :wow:

No way Hitman loses to Roc. We know the type of guy Little Gerald is, URL's favoritism towards Roc probably makes his blood boil lowkey. If he loops Roc up in some angle where he's coming at Smack or Beas, it's over.
If he has a "I remember when Tay Roc & Suge were battling outside for Lil Debbie's cakes" angle, it's over.

It would have been worse on a big stage.

I agree, I just have zero faith in Verb channelling powers we havent seen in 7/8 years. His current battle rap rating is already taking a -20 hit just from battling a Harlem nikka in NY. I have no faith in this battle being great.

i think instinctually i'm supporting roc because he's a maryland guy but now that you mention it, a hitman win might be better for us as fans

mook and verb will likely be a trash battle. its really verb battle to win or lose, if he can recapture any of his old self mook will be at his mercy because from a lyrical standpoint he cant touch verb. and mook is not that great of a performer either. it would really just have to be the crowd riding with him.

but verb is not the same guy and i doubt he recaptures that magic. its not in him. i was watching verb vs math and verb vs miles a couple weeks ago, and it was just a different verb then. he kept eye contact with the crowd, had a confidence in remembering and delivering his shyt.

now, he does these weird hand movements like he scared to drop something, be closing his eyes and shyt because he struggling to remember his shyt. that is not going to come across well on a stage.

trust me, i want verb to win, so we can set up him vs lux. the game need old verb back, he was a character, but he just not there anymore. that guy is gone.

roc vs hitman is going to be a very good battle. very debatable. i think this all depends on hitman angles. if he can construct rounds that attack like he did k shine he will beat roc, if he doesnt then it will be close. we know what we getting with roc. i dont think we getting anything more than just the shyt talk etc from roc. hitman has the ability to do something different. gun to my head i say hitman 2-1, but wouldnt be shocked if roc won because hitman is just up there rapping.

Agreed, something is off about Verb these days. Not to mention Skinny Vegan Beard Verb just looks weird to me.

I think he gonna use that angle and use the o-red champion of the year angle. Similar to his "Bill Collector" line vs JJDD.

Something like "Since i been gone yall let O-Red become champion of the year? :usure:O-RED??:stopitslime:

Yall forgot what i did to him??? :mjlol:

If Hitman clearly beats Roc, what we doin with him

I think his resume and the amount of classic moments he's given us warrants him being in that lux/hollow/mook circle

Yea had a couple battles where he mailed it in but he never went on a Verb/Clips level streak of lazy performances, gotta appreciate that shyt :myman:

nikkas were terrified of O red and he put him in a fukking bag, if he has atleast 1 solid angle on Roc for a round he's gonna win clearly
