Watched Rone vs. Illmaculate and Head Ice vs. Arsonal so far. Rone got it because he out performed Illmaculate more so; slightly outbarred him but not by much. Just feels like Illmac was off his game which sucks because I think Illmac is a better rapper than Rone overall (music, battles, etc). But I will say Rone did win fair and square. Head Ice vs. Arsonal had a better battle. I'll give it to Head Ice, 2-1, with Arsonal taking the 3rd. Arsonal made up for his Shotty Horroh rematch performance and kept his composure. At this point, I really don't think you can beat Ice, man. Like he can say the weirdest shyt and still win. nikka made a reference to farts twice in his 2nd round and still won. LMAO.

I always held Diz to a high regard because I knew he had THIS type of performance in him. When he cuts down on the rambling and stays on his angle he's deadly.

It will never happen but....
Diz vs. B Dot :jbhmm:
That is if B Dot didn't help with these rounds :sas2:

Smh Not saying it aint True.. but if my Son was in surgery i wouldnt be posting dramatic ass pictures on Instagram..
I just have a hard time believing anything he say..

I hear you. Daylyt is in the public light though and had to bail out of a booking

So him posting pictures on instagram in this situtation is more I guess you could say pragmatic than the average person

I dont think anyone here denies Surf top tier status. Actually Spud is one of few that hates/dislikes Surf. Most of us fukk with him if he not reaching (when he aint got the shyt).
I don't think Surf is great, but his business mentality leads to well-suited matchups. He's top tier, but far from my top 5.

Rex got locked up. Should be out on Monday. I don't think this is a laughing matter. It's never good anytime a black man is arrested. This can be worked out. Should just reschedule it. His opponent should reach out to the URL. That way we still get the battle.

I feel like in the end Aye Verb vs. Tsu Surf exposed Surf a little. He clearly lost that. And I've said before, Surf is honestly better when it comes to music. Maybe him teaming up with Tay Roc will give him a boost on some of what he's missing to me. Part of the reason why I had Verb beating him and I have Math beating him if they ever battle. Verb and Math are complete as rappers, IMO. They know how to battle well enough and they can make good music. Surf can make good music but his approach to battling, it seems inconsistent in comparison.

I ordered the Blackout 6 PPV, my thoughts below

Didn't see much of Day 1. Heard Cortez whooped Charron in the third and that it was a really good battle. Dizaster vs Iron was supposedly a next level classic, like one of the best battles ever. Dizaster's first was nuts. I haven't watched the rest yet but supposedly Iron came with fire every rounds as did Diz. Some are edging it to Iron off the third but most of what I'm seeing is it's a "can't call it, the fans won" type of battle.

Day 2 I watched last night on and off. Was really high so I don't remember everything. Lots of dead air and downtime in the beginning, they started way late.

Watched some of Chedda Cheese vs Carter Deems. Pretty lame but Deems is likeable.

There was a couple other lower tier KOTD fodder battles I didn't watch

Caustic and Thesaurus came out. Caustic vs T-Rex cancelled, Thesaurus vs Daylyt cancelled. Daylyt definitely had a legit reason, Thesaurus seemed disappointed but not mad. Randy who knows, I have my doubts.

Gjonaj vs Pyscosis was FIRE. Props to KOTD for not wasting any time booking this one. Great comeback battle for Gjonaj. Dude was A+ all three rounds. I edged him all three as well. Pyscosis is a dope writer but he had more filler, Gjonaj had almost none. Plus Psycosis delivery was a little flat to me here.

Gjonaj won the battle and $1k according to the judges, I agree. He won this, but it was a great back and forth. I liked Pysosis more going in but came out a fan of Gjonaj.

Ars vs Head Ice I didnt watch yet.

Rone vs Illmaculate. Going into this battle I fukked with Illmac way more and thought he would win. He lost. Rone left earth this battle. Illmac took a little time to heat up and had some crazy bars but also some dry spots. Rone was nearly flawless.

Really dope battle. Illmac was solid but Rone stole the show.

FYI, the PPV was pretty cool. For $30 I'm probably gonna buy any good KOTD card in the future. Its an easy process to buy it and watch it, stream was mad clean. Looked and sounded great hooked up to my TV, used an HDMI cable and it was cake.

Props to Rone. I'll report back on Ars vs Head Ice in a little bit

Updating because I just watched Iron vs Diz

Iron was SNAPPING the whole battle. Holy fukk. Never seen anybody talk to Diz like that. It comes down to a preference but for me Iron won. Amazing battle
