Both are two of my favorites. I had Roc winning before the tweets and all that. He's gonna turn up on Surf.

I mean on paper, an A-1 Surf does everything Tay Roc does better. But I trust Roc more to go at a nikka's head for 3 rounds, Surf already talkin about he gonna have a round not aimed at Tay Roc and shyt. Like nikka you ain't that nice to be throwin away rounds lol

Gave it to Lux. I applaud Hollow's effort, but I can't give him the win off of outdated angles. It's like how Brizz was clowning Aye Verb's waves, but Verb was standing in front of him sporting a mohawk. Hollow was clowning Lux for lacking clarity & being unnecessarily complicated. That would have been hotter if Cal said it, but Lux improved in both aspects vs Hollow.
It's dope that Hollow threw everything but the kitchen sink against Lux (which is why many feel like he won), but imo his lyrics weren't as good, his performance wasn't as good (voice cracking n shyt), and some of his angles fell flat.

Lux/Hollow was a debatable preference battle. They both did well doing what they do.

I personally gave Lux every round. A rebuttal does not win you a round when your opponent is coming with heat. Hollow has way too many dry spots in general to beat elite lyrical guys with structure. Verb bodybagged him. Nyggas actually try to give Hollow the second just based on a rebuttal & the "fukk aye verb with a t-shirt that said I did it," when this nygga Verb killed him with no filler. Shyt was ugly. Hell I think Verb's second may have been better than his first.

Hollow's dry spots are a reason why I have a hard time picking him over Clips. Clips isn't super lyrical, but he's capable of crafting rounds with no dry spots.

I think Hollow's first against Surf was one of the worst rounds I've ever heard.

He rap and he did a bid, labels, y'all better sign him, I’m tryna warn
But Hollow nice around that mic, yeah 'cause he keep that wire on
I’m cold as cryoton, get his crib firebombed
Smack him with my iron palm from St. Louis to Cybertron
He sweatin bullets, but don’t blame him, he ain’t been around this kind before
I got heat surroundin his bytch ass, to him it feels like we got the dryers on
But check the bets, they got me winnin like ten to five
I’ve been advised, he like to do dumb shyt, he loves to freestyle, likes to improvise
My temper rise, we roll up in black tinted rides
Hop out, nikkas get paralyzed, not penalized
Large clips enter rides, cars flip, injure guys
I’ll beam his whole team up, Starship Enterprise!
Too complex for him even when I’m simplified
If New York is such a jungle, tell me this:
How the fukk do nikkas like him survive?
We terrorize timid guys, cotton shirt, linen guys
Light-skinned, slender guys, the target’s been identified
There could be a long line of rappers who gettin signed
If he in the front, I'ma jump him like, “Shut up bytch, I been in line!”
I’m back poppin, got rap in my back pocket
You can’t beat me with yelling, yapping, and hat coppin
Not while the street nikkas is staring and the hoodrats is watching
'Cause now that I’m a felon, failin is not an option
He walk around boppin like nikkas will not rock him
The canon (Cannon) like a camera, I scan him and snapshot him
Bam, got him! Queens wouldn’t give a damn 'bout him
I showed up for a slugfest, this nikka was slapboxin
:whew:

Verb got the 2nd clearly, dont know how anybody could give Hollow that battle at all
