:scust:@ UDubb

An event of top tier vs top tier not on the url = :trash:

UDubb is better off doing those lowkey events. Watching Suge destroy Oops was a joy.

Leagues like Gorilla Warfare & UDubb are bad for battle rap.

Leave the top tier vs top tier battles to the URL, which isn't even a guarantee these guys will take it seriously.

Hollow of all people?? You hate Hollow with a passion bruh. :francis:
I just don't ride his dikk like you do. Hollow isn't aggressive enough to beat Roc live and has been booed on a URL stage before because of it. He isn't beating Roc in the building with his style.

MJ Truths post got me thinking. Battle rappers whose fans won't let them lose. There's a handful. Clips, Day (he rarely looses, but whateves. That's another topic), Roc, Hollow, are there more. And why is this?? Why do these guys have these die hard fanbases??? Day and Hollow I can understand. Both of them really connect with the fans in one way or another. Or could it be another reason. I guess I understand Clips fanbase too. He's like that one fat nikka in high school who was cool with everybody and could roast the shyt out of anyone. But yea. That's what I think. But what about Tay Roc (and other battlers)? What is it about him that make fans ride for him so hard?
How can you make a critical post about stanbases and then say this shyt straight faced? You're telling me Daylyt connects with his fans, when he disappoints said fans with a non-effort, non funny antic something like 30-40% of the time? That's not connecting with fans on any level. I used to be a Day fan. That shyt was a constant disappointment.

I might have it twisted up, but I always thought the general consensus of Day's fans liked him for the rapping... Something you can't count on him to do. He's as flaky as all the other flake nikkas at this point. I hope it improves, but I don't think it will.

Sounds convenient

Lux is the epitome of a try-hard intellectual

I'm a fan, don't get me wrong. I just like his bars and performances, I'm not wooed by his mystique

I'm in as similar boat. We probably all know those nikkas in life that go out of their way to let you know they are deep, 5%, read the Art of War, or some other bro-type shyt like that. Lux struck me as that from the first few interviews.

I got a serious question y'all...when having a battle rap debate, do any of.you guys blood pressure raise to high hell arguing with a casual watcher, who really don't know shyt bout battle rap??.

I'm talkin the technical side of it...like how we critique/analyze whoever touch that stage. I feel like Stephen A. at times cause the dumb shyt I hear is mind boggling.

real shyt I saw the guy Lux was playing against when I was on the bus riding down 125th with my son. Dude hopped on the back of the bus (didn't pay) wild musty wearing all Black with a container of hand sanitizer attached to his belt loop. Madddddd sketchy.

:dead:

Day's a VladTV blogger who occasionally raps. At this point Lord Jamar and him in the same boat.

The lack of tactical intelligence in battle rappers (dudes who constantly, CONSTANTLY claim they are street generals) is astounding.










Astounding brehs.
Duck face though?

I can't hate on the man for having his own taste, someone got to smash these extra dumpy broads but THE DUCK FACE?!!!!

ICE let NaS down :mjcry:

yeah Lux cool and all but he's corny as fukk sometimes. playing dress up in a bobby seale costume and wearing an ill-fitting suit, it's a testament to his bars that he's not viewed as a complete clown

good blitz chess player tho :leon:

he still doesn't read quality literature :ufdup:

Insulting Lux with one of the top viewed battle rappers of all time? :dahell:

I'm insulting Lux by suggesting he should just make the biggest battles possible that will give him the best look.:mjlol:

All the battles that make sense for him stylistically have lost steam.

He tried to create hype for a battle with Goodz, but I doubt the URL would pay for that battle.

The thing about it is trying to make the biggest battle possible may just make the most sense right now.
