I can't imagine ICE bein Jay-Z level, but if LUX himself has that much respect for him, you can't deny that..

After watchin the Tech 9 vs Ice battle (old battle, but only recently saw it and I'm only now getting into this battle shyt as a fan). I have literally zero interest in peepin anything with Head Ice on it. Even in freestyle cypha's he was the weakest link IMO. It was like a bunch of dope nikkas spittin and Ice just so happened to be there too.

I"m not a fan of ice, but he obviously is respected by high level dudes in the battle scene.

I think Lux is just humble towards the homies he came up with (like 50 and Yayo steez). I can recall some freestyle I saw with Lux and some random dude from his hood. Homie was spittin some basic ass shyt not even half way on Lux's level, but Lux was dappin' dude up like he spit some marvelously ill shyt.

btw: good lookin out to everyone on this thread I've been goin back to older post peepin out shyt trying to get caught up on whats poppin'

Ice bars are crafted for beats..you can hear it in his flow (which is water). He's not a wack rapper.

after rewatching that tec 9 vs rich dollarz again after someone posted it here, Jon Jon goes down another notch, the battle vs BC he used that bodybag in a bodybag, and I knew at the time he had bit it, but I hadnt watched that tec 9 battle in a while, seeing it again its like jon jon stole the energy from that line and theres nothing that HE actually contributed to it and its not HIS line to have the crowd reciting like that. Just like he stole the energy off that remix shiit with hitman, Dude really needs to chill on all that biting.

You're new to this battle shyt so I can't fault you for not knowing the history.
But that's like watching the Math that battled Calicoe and saying he's wack instead of the Math that battled Iron Soloman
The Verb that battled Clipse instead of the Verb that battled SB

You mean to tell me the Head I.C.E that killed Tye Knots and his Patna ain't cold?
You might not like his style, that's cool.. But he's far from wack



And speaking of his Cyphers, you mean to tell me he was the Weakest link, and just being there in his cypher with Goodz,lux and Arsonal?
He painted that picture vivid as fukk. If you like metaphors/entendre's/wordplay/etc you'll gravitate to Lux (which I do) if you like multi's you'll gravitate towards Ars. If you like Storytelling you'll gravitated to I.C.E



But with that said, good lookin out on checking his battle shyt out breh :shake:

Ice looked better in that cypher cause Lux is the only good one in that cypher lol

Ice def bodybagged Knotts and its entertaining on first watch but the lyrics are pretty trash to me.

I actually like Ice's performance vs Swave the best. He had his usual presence plus some bars in that battle. If he could do that all the time hed be dope
