One could argue this battle is for the 4th slot.

I’ve always had it Mook/Lux/Hollow/Vacant

I could never give anyone that last slot.

After the Hollow battle I had Roc @ #4 He has the resume, longevity and consistency and moments to warrant being in that realm. Not to mention his story as a battler is actually one of a kind in battle rap. Everyone of the legends we knew were special from the jump. Roc had to earn his respect, for years after gettin put in a casket.

I won't argue against Hitman being in there too, he also has the resume, consistence and accomplishments. Hitman and Roc easily round out the top 5

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
Never really understood how people had Hollow above Hitman in the first place honestly. Mook and Lux are always going to be looked at sorta differently, on some Magic and Bird shyt, just because of when they came in and what they did at that time. There’s really no catching up to that, you just create your own situation in your own time.

Not a perfect comparison but Tay Roc is the Bernard Hopkins of battle rap. No huge marketing push to start, no Olympics or any of that, lost his first fight amongst no fanfare, built himself and his career all the way up, and once he got the middleweight title he was dominant and wasn’t letting it go.
