Battle rap is getting bigger and bigger. You see it happening before your very eyes.
High quality battles don't generate revenue for battle rap. It's the charismatic, dynamic performers that sell battle rap.
Charlie Clips is more popular now than he was right after he beat Rex. Hitman & Conceited are on TV. When is the last time these guys won battles?
Bruh i dont think wilin out is that popular.

Finally saw Bigg K vs Math and Bigg K got that. Math said a whole lot of nothing in that battle. I wasn't expecting him to go punch for punch with K but those rounds were not rounds you're going to beat Bigg K with. That whole after the battle thing wasn't a good look either. How can you complain about someone using the disaster incident against you when your rep is built off the dose incident? Then be caught on camera saying disaster is going to get smoked. :snoop: Math is one of my favorites but son is acting way too homotional to be a battle rapper

JC in an interview before Crown 2 said it perfectly. Born is a dope puncher but he's not a dope writer. He doesn't set up his punches to land that great. There's a format to making punches stick and Born hasn't learned it.
word.

Born's format is to explain what the punch was in his next bar :mjlol: nikka is an idiot

Yep. I never understood that either.

they got emotional over different things tho

I know battles don't work this way, but I feel like the first two rounds of Math v Bigg K and then everything after that, are two separate discussions. I think we can all agree that Bigg K had a monster third which caused Math to act out in an embarrassing way. Math did not walk away as a "winner", regardless of what you felt about the first two rounds.

But how does anyone have Math losing the first? K raps exactly like an NYC late nineties mixtape rapper, and Math might be the first to point it out. Dude is rapping from a template. K's 1st was cool, but nothing stood out to me.

And how does K's bars about Math allegedly eating his ex-girlfriend's ass escape the "corny" tag some of you are throwing at Math? What was so weak about Math's 2nd?

We have intelligent battle rap discussions here, let's talk about it.
