Seems like dudes are still giving wins only on bars. I'm gonna make sure it's stated first that I have not judged the battle at all yet. So I don't know if Lux won or Cal won. Ok, now with that said...battle rap has evolved past "what you say." "How you say it" has become an important factor in battle rap as well. How hard a punches are against your opponent is just as important as your volume of punches.

So if you're giving Lux the win just because he had genius level bars...unless every 20 seconds he had a bar that has nikkas :ohmy: then you're not judging fairly. Again, I'm not saying anyone lost or won. Just wanted to clarify that the standard for judging battles has gone beyond "just bars." They are vital, and the most important part to your round, but just being dope alone doesn't guarantee wins.

it's not just bars, it's delivery as well (Lux is top notch) and performance (again, Lux is top notch)

Lux is probably the most well-rounded battle rapper ever. delivery, bars, creativity and performance is always great. the only thing he isn't known for are his rebuttals (Hollow is the best at it), but everything else is top notch.

If Lux battled Hollow the way he battled Calicoe, Hollow would body him. Hollow aint never choked like Lux choked.

That's what I'm saying.

They are on that nicca Lux's nutsack because of hi reputation, not what he's done lately.

nikka got 3 battle his whole life.

He was sitting on bars for YEARS and couldn't even bodybag Calicoe who lost to Ill, and Heartless. If that doesn't expose how good he REALLY is then i dont know what to tell you.

The first nikka that Hollow decides to battle will get 3-0'd body bagged.

Hollow got bodybag's against top tier nikkas.

3-0'd Hitman
3-0'd Big T
Bodied Ill (but that doesn't really count cuz i dont consider the fight klub format to be a legit battle)
3-0'd Okwerdz
3-0'd Illmaculate

If you don't count the Arsenal battle you can make the argument that Hollow has never even CLEARLY lost a round.

what you mean "and not what he's done lately", he choked in the 1st and then proceeded to Calicoe's @ss for the next 2 rounds. If y'all have some good headphones or put away them cheap @ss speakers maybe you'll hear and realize greatness :myman:

for the fellow people with some sense, y'all notice how before lux killed the new top tier hero the only thing that truly mattered was your bars, now it doesn't soon as lux got that W. Lets just forget the fact that you have to be out barred (better wordplay, better punchlines, better metaphors, better entendres, better schemes) at some point in at least 2 rounds out of the 3 to get the W :sitdown:....we see thru the fukkery lol!!.

Californ-i-a by way of BK
:rudy:

I'm really starting to question your impartiality when it comes to this dude. The battle is 2-1 according to you ONLY because he choked...but you forgot about it?

:sitdown:

Stop being an idiot. When I tweeted that comment, I forgot about the choke. It wasn't on my mind. You're a cool poster, don't turn into one of THEM types. Please.

You do know he lost to Verb right?.....yeah....let's not talk about that lol. Hitman wasn't in his prime, and who gives a fluck about okwerdz and illmaculate, do you really count those 2 as serious competition like really? :beli:

Only person he bodied was big t

And where do people get this such and such is just sitting on bars perception from?. That's the dumbest sh!t i ever heard, if it wasn't for n!ggas overreacting and anticipating charlie clips over hyped bars and performance at summer madness 1, where that actual statement started from it wouldn't even be mentioned.
