Who y'all got?

For me it's JC. Dude has everything it seems needed to be a top tier, crazy bars, cold ass flow, unique look, I would even argue stage presence though I'm sure not everybody agrees.

But JC doesn't get booked on URL anymore (anybody know why?) and barely seems to even make it on KOTD or other well known leagues at this point. He mostly battles scrubs on unknown leagues these days. Search for "JC vs" on youtube and the 2nd result is JC vs Moses West. seriously. who is that?

He would be great for Total Slaughter 2 in my opinion. Hopefully he finds some sort of look like that and gets back in the game. He's too dope to be battling a bunch of nobodies or not battle at all.

Also, since a lot of people don't have Math in their top 5 battle rappers of all-time (or even top 10) I think he's underrated too. Dude is a legend and has been putting on for battle rap the last however many years, bars and performance are always on point. Easily up there Lux, Mook, Hollow, Verb, Clips, etc.

Norbes feels JC has greatly diminished his value by doing all these random ass battles in all these random ass leagues [which is kinda true].

My vote would be either Big Kannon or Young Kannon. Both have bars, flow, and presence. I feel YK has finally dug himself outta the grave that Swave put him in.

Big Kannon had 2 of the biggest battles of his career cancelled last year by Clips and Arsonal.

Aside from dat DNA battle where I thought that match up was weird as hell in the first place I really like Ill Will. He pretty much got every aspect of battle rap covered dat you can have: bars, wordplay, aggression, real talk, humor, sarcasm, freestyle, rebuttals, etc.

JC is not underrated, he is underappreciated. People are aware of how talented he is... they just screw him out of bookings.

I'd say MCiddy is underrated. People like MCiddy are way more talented than the rappers people rank higher than them. So they lose to people that are weaker than them consistantly as result.
