This is all really subjective.
Verb is nice & I look forward to seeing him battle, however I will say he sounds so much better in a small room. His battles with SB, Midwest Miles, & Hollow are great. I even liked him in the Big Will battle. In a small room, he is damn near unbeatable. If you watch those battles I just named, you can see how he developed his hype. Mike Tyson still receives hype til this day for his early accomplishments. I'm not saying Verb is the Mike Tyson of battle rap, but illustrating why he receives the hype he gets.
On a stage it's completely different. He has been hit or miss to me. His performance definitely isn't the same.
You gotta understand that he is a professional battle rapper. He has experienced ups & downs in his career. Every single battle rapper has at one time. Your gonna see battles when they are just not on there game. You'll see them go on an incredible run as well.
