Tink needs to go on the battle rap diet. It's the answer to all his problems.

He don't look healthy up there.

He should also join Cave Gang to secure his spot. I wish Smack would break these gangs up and make them battle each other but whatever, it's a thing now.

Big T coming to a battle prepared is not the norm. I'm basing the prediction off what he's been giving us, not what he's capable of.

He makes rookie mistakes a lotta nikkas post-SMACKDVD era make
  • Tink breathes too heavy, and sometimes in the wrong places for a battleformat. Brizz used to make that same mistake. if you watch his earlier URL battles you'll clearly see the difference between then and now
  • He raps too loud that causes him to lose his voice. It's because he still thinks he's on inferior leagues where he needs to do that while he's in a bigger venue. If you watch Tink vs Mike P you'll hear Brizz tell him "they can hear you bro, save you voice"
  • His pacing is too slow, so he should speed it up and rap in a rhythm
  • He needs to punch faster and use imagery to hit
  • He needs to tone down a bit of the complexity
Very easy things to adjust if you ask me, if he does that it'll be way easier for him not to stumble

Don't agree with all that he needs to do aside from more than likely diet so it can help with his breathing. I think that shyt with his voice helps with what he says. Then again, I hate how people talk shyt on cats like Brizz or Danny projecting their voices loud like that. I always chalk it up to their style. He goes in and out of the complexity. I think for Saga, it mostly worked when he gave an account of Christianity. When he schemed at certain points with the wordplay, it messed him up that didn't relate to the Christian angle.

I agree with @ReasonableMatic assessment of how and when Tink could punch more and the diet shyt also, but yeah other than that I think he shouldn't change anything.
Part of his appeal is that he's a spectacle. Screaming, yelling, sweating, spitting, losing his voice, etc. all that is part of the package. Even when he threw up, THAT shyt sounded DEMONIC.

Exactly. Yeah, even the sound of the nikka throwing up in the battle sounded demonic. Hey, let it ride. I'd be pissed off if these battle rappers altered the key things that make them who they are. I agree with the weight thing tho.

T Top and Scott Hall twitter beefing might be the most random shyt ever lmao

I've listened to so many of those shoot interviews, that I understand Scott's way of thinking. Scott Hall just views it as show/entertainment, nothing more. He called him a mark for even taking it seriously, when "it's not real."

Another thing about Tink. The bars about dead relatives aren't really hitting like that. They've never been a highlight of his rounds, so why even bother? It's a cheap tactic, like that "If I rhymed like you" bullshyt that Saga does.

Edit, damn they pulled the files on him, I guess he thought they would edit it lmao
