If you haven't heard the last time he was on angryfan radio, you are not going to understand my post at all.

He was very unhappy with his situation in battle rap.

I agree with him as far as him being u happy with his overall status in battle rap tho

His frustration is being channeled as motivation. Might not be a popular opinion,but Nitty has been Mr. Gun Bars for real in his last two battles.. and the bars are actually bars. It's hard to admit but I actually have skipped Craig's rounds to hear Nitty's when I'm feeling like some gun bars. It's obvious Nitty is trying to make a point... I just hope he hasn't used up all that motivation and prep on getting a shot, only to run out of steam (no cakes) when he gets on the stage.

I dont think Verb vs K-Shine is really a good example. Verb never really viewed K-Shine as a threat. Hell, if track down my posts prior to the battle, I said Verb can come "light" & beat K Shine. No one expected K-Shine (well NWX) to come like that. K-Shine up to that point was delivering poor performances. Hell remember Verb didn't even care about the battle. He was on the radio & was "meh" about it. He never called out K-Shine. Took it for a payday.

Verb vs Chilla is a different situation. Verb is actually calling Chilla out. He wants that battle. He actually views Chilla as a threat. I don't think anyone really comes light against Chilla, just because the respect his pen gets.

Verb writes to the level of his opposition.

2 completely different situations.

As far as my opinion on the outcome of Verb/Chilla, I guess you can say the logical choice to win would be Chilla, just based off their recent battles. However, Verb has a higher ceiling, so a Verb win isn't out of the question. I will take it further & say if Verb is on his shyt, he can 3-0 him. It has to do more with their styles. I always wanted to see Chilla in there against someone like a Verb or Big T to see the outcome.

He didn't call out Surf nor did he view Surf as a threat. Just a money move for both guys.

On paper, someone like a Surf shouldn't be beating a Verb anyway.

Verb for the most part writes to the level of his opposition. He had a period where he was beating people with mediocre performances because its just enough to win.

A guy that actually scares him is the only way to motivate him.

Hell Verb is probably going to lose tonight too.

Aside from Verb being underwhelming the last couple years, there's another thing I noticed.. Even when he comes with strong material, his rounds were getting shorter and shorter.

Hollow is too smart to make the mistakes his peers make.

Hollow won't battle Todd, because he does not view Todd as a threat. He's not gonna be motivated to go all out against someone like a Todd. A Bigg K though? Absolutely which is why he listed Bigg K as someone he would like to face last year. He knows if he's not on shyt, the outcome can be bad.

He himself said he didn't view Joe as a threat. As a result, you got a crappy battle. He learned from his mistake and won't allow that to happen again.

Sure

What was Swave really coming with at that time?

He stepped it up a bit against Danny. He has huge respect for Myers. He stepped it up a bit for Brizz. For the most though, he just goes through the motions.

Lazy writing.

Lol if you believe that.

The real reason he doesn't want to battle TODD is because he has alot to lose and TODDs stock would rise all the way up of course he doesn't want that
