Anyone feel free to answer this. When did it become in battle rap that a high volume puncher just COULDN'T lose in the fans eyes?

We all know they've all lost and eventually fell off, but they've all had that wave where fans just told themselves 'X' guy can't lose.

Happened with JC, Chilla, Magic, and now Nitty. Maybe a few others I'm forgetting.
I wouldn't call JC or Chilla "Punchline" rappers. But to answer your question, it's just the era we're in where bars supersede everything.

I blame Chilla:manny: he came in with next to no performance, zero charisma, just a crazy pen and rose to the top. Since then the bar for bar movement has continued to grow, with guys like Myers, Danja and Nitty.

Ave kind of falls in that category but he also has a presence. I've seen Ave live and he wasn't as confident as he is now.

Lets be real Roc aint on Nitty level lyrically. That being said he wasnt either vs Surf Clips Red Magic Ill will etc. and he managed to make every single one debetable. To say Nitty will trash him when none of the named could is a Dot like reach.
Not to mention he killed JC and JC's pen is top notch. :smugfavre:
