He said he’s willing to battle Verb but he never was too excited about battling him though. He said Verb is dope, it could be a fight.

I haven’t listened yet, but what impression did you get when he said this? Do you feel he just doesn’t think much of him as a battler? Somewhat similar to the way Hollow views Todd?

Yes. Sounds like he knows he has to battle Verb next because the fans want it but he’s not really hype for it because he doesn’t think Verb can beat him. 3 brought up JC, B Dot and Iron and Danny. Only one he sounded excited for was Iron Solomon because he feels he would give him a real fight.

Just got done listening. I don’t think Lux really respect Verb. He said when Verb battles he doesn’t have a point, and only want the bag. He also said Verb don’t care about winning or losing. He think Verb just want the spotlight.

The problem is Verb talks too much, you already know what he's gonna say in battle cuz he lays out all of his angles when he's calling out/debating people....Lux has yet to show his hand in terms of what he'd say to verb and i can imagine lux peeped that and isnt interested

We have no idea what Iron could say to lux, JC either for that matter

lux better not show up half ass, (for him) because hes not motivated. who has lux battled thats ever been close to him lyrically anyway? You battled Mook, calicoe, hollow, clips and arsonal but suddenly you cant take verb cause hes not lyrical enough. foh

He said Verb ain’t a threat to him lyrically at all and he’d take the Battle anywhere if thats what the fans wanna see

His disinterest seems to come from Verb showin a limit to his pen and bein all bark which got him losing interest in the Battle

Meanwhile when Iron was mentioned, he seemed way more intrigued with the battle due to the level Iron could take his pen by the things he’s been displayin (which I agree with)

Honestly I think even Chilla would spark his interest more than Verb at this point purely off the potential his pen has.

Also sounds like Lux is more interested in battling Iron Solomon than anyone else because he feels they both can take it to another level when it comes to creativity.

As much as I'm a JC fan, I think the Iron matchup is safer and more likely to be a classic exchange. JC battling Lux still seems a little strange to me. I'd like to see it for the bars, but something about it seems shaky.

On the other hand, i would like to see Lux bar out. I appreciate how he weaves and layers his approach, but it's exhausting sometimes. I think he can maintain his depth while being direct (the big difference between Lux and BDot, for example). Even one great round of Lux going direct would have people elevating him to another level of legend. Wishful thinking.

KG has some points but you cant knock the ppv. PPV is a direct response to the lost of money from youtube. That was strictly a adapt or lose situation.


I 100% agree about mook voicing his paycheck(not saying he didn't deserve the money)

I thought he wanted Iron all these years because he already has an approach laid out on how he would attack him. I still believe that to be the case, but he’s not going to say that publicly.

Lol @ 3 putting Danny Myers name in there.
