[MJ Truth]

There's literally zero argument for saying Aye Verb beat Daylyt, and I'm one of these guys who's sick of Day's stupid ass antics.

Verb didnt win the first round either, that Daylyt impersonation was wack

I honestly only remember the third round

I'll start by saying I don't think Lux is wack at all, but I am somewhat critical. Just want to share what has been happening in here.

But as for Lux as battle rapper, I think TBZ has a clear split on him lately. I'm not talking about his business/negotiation skills (because that's not battle rap), I'm talking his performances.

One side (@FreshAIG, others) is pretty much sold on Lux. They accept the modern Lux style, go through the rewatches and pay him homage for doing something that few others can do -- be an intricate lyricist and succeed on the stage.

The other side (me, I think @Big Jo, others) respect his lyricism but find it to be a little too much. The number of rewatches and the total change of mindset required takes us out of the realm of battlerap and into conscious underground hiphop. Some part of me thinks Lux's rounds would be dope on wax, where putting in that brain work is a little more expected/accepted.

For me, I would never say Lux doesn't attack his opponent.. He just does so in a meticulous manner. His lyrics are a slow burn, and I consider myself apt at picking up deep lyrics (I was a dude who listened to Canibus after LL, Immortal Technique, Chino XL, Kweli, old Common, etc). I still feel like Lux's rounds are a little bit too much for the stage. We all know damn well that the crowd Lux performs in front of it catching about 50% of his shyt, and that's the shyt he means for them to catch. It takes me legit probably 3-5 watches with rewinds to put it all together. I guess some call that replay value, but it's a little tiring.. and I can assure that nobody gives any intricate bar battle rapper more than 2 listens before they say "this dude is corny."

Lux lives off a high baseline of respect, and that gives him freedom to rap however he wants, while letting the fanbase learn to love it.

Yup. I had Verb winning at first cause I gave him the first two. But I can't argue with anyone who says Verb's Day imitation is corny, and Day's 3rd shyts on the rest of the battle anyway.

what Black Power bars does Lux have that's off topic anymore than B Dots? You're talking out of your ass.

and B Dot in no way attacks his opponents more than Lux. And you said he doesn't ramble, yet Lux rambles. When that's beyond absurd. There's no reason to break down your posts because anyone with an IQ over 12, that follows battle rap knows you were just throwing shyt against the wall and hoping something sticks. You were using the same generic comments that everyone else makes about Lux, with nothing to back up anything you're saying. There was no need to even really address it, because it was so cliche and stupid and based off nothing.

Again, no examples to back up any of your claims. Just be calm and wait until Smack tells you which battle to watch next.

How you gonna quote a line that has Hollow's name in it and say he's not talking about Hollow, and I JUST said in that exact same post the only time he's not talking about his opponent really is when he's talking about his rhyming skills. Are you retarded? Legit question. Can you not comprehend what you're reading or you're just being stupid?

Again, when did I say that he's "not talking about Hollow?" Just because he threw his name in the fourth bar doesn't mean anything. Is Hollow a Latin invading hip hop or are Latin's invading him? Is it Oochie Wally or One Mic?

Again, be quiet somewhere and wait for Smack to tell you what to think next.

 

[T-K-G]

i'll go and rewatch day/verb cuz I respect yall opinion and im not a spud ass stubborn type nikka nothing new interests me right now anyway so why not replay some old shyt

but I definitely remember him having alot of :sleep: bars against clips so I aint gonna budge on that opinion at all

Went light my ass. nikka gone somewhere before I have you touched. I got Rodan and Mecha Godzilla on speed dial.

Spring chicken eater I.D.'d as a ring leader

 

[Momentum]

We get it breh, you're mad at Lux for thinking like a businessman, lol. Let it go already.

TBZ is getting just as bad as those cac forums. On what planet should Lux take Verb in Club Adriannas or some shyt? How the fukk does the promoter recoup $100k+ (you got to have a whole card) off battle rap in St. Louis?!

Only way Verb's dream scenario would happen is if it was one round, and Lux would still make them pay crazy for that.

I hate daylyt but his third was such a knock out round I could see giving it to Daylyt. '

You can win two rounds and still lose the battle imo, if you barely won the two and lost badly in the other one. It's rare but it happens

IM DONE

 

[T-K-G]

3.

Nah, I think that there are rare cases where a battle can be a 1-2 win.

So you answered my question you can't comprehend what you read. Salute. Get someone to read this post for you later.

halfway through the first and i remember now, Day was rappin circles around Verb but the bars themselves were mostly indirect

 

[FreshAIG]

Anyone with an IQ over 12 knows this. It's not common but it happens.

Math and Rex is a perfect example of this

And some of people have made this case for Lux and Calicoe

 

[T-K-G]

extremely rare but i can't argue with this

it's gotta be a situation where one dude edges the other for the first rounds, then the other nikka comes with a deathblow in the 3rd

i kinda think Day/Chilla was like that rock/paper/scissors stole the battle from chilla imo, that line is still ridiculous to this day
