Surf, Ill, Big T and XFactor are all CLEARLY top tier, and Its an impossibility for Surf not to be top tier, thats makes zero sense....he has a cult following, all his battles are crazy cept DNA

Download the live audio. The rest of his round was basically insinuating there was a snitch in his camp or him, and furthering the "cockfighting" homo angle. On the he video, Cal's man looks like he wants to fight. It wasn't over "y'all Detroit nikkas still cockfighting". It was vulgar. Uneasy :scusthov:

Exactly...Smack was like that ref in boxing who lets the boxer who losing badly already, continue to get pounded and even allows low-blows (Lux using the screen)

He had to edit the 3rd round too as Lux used a line comparing Cal to Webay's son from the Wire..basically a snitch

Sick of the schemes by Chilla Jones. His stepped up his performance but he still comes weak in that regard. B Magic 2-1 and I'm being generous. Really want to see JC vs B Magic. At this point I'm more hype about these cats than dudes like Charlie Clips, Big T, Calicoe, and that whole tier to be honest.

i see battle rap blasphemy is still strong in some of you regarding the gawd lux :childplease:

bar for bar lux won't take down hollow easily....he couldn't even get past verb when that perm head n!gga was in his prime smh :rudy:

Then y'all hang on to hollow doing rebuttals which have never been :damn: status, let's keep it a million with that.....so we are just going to forget lux usual format outside the overall theme that he actually stuck to with Cal?!?!?

Some of y'all honestly think if you put any of these n1ggas in a room with lux and say fluck the themes, fluck the slow it downs, fluck the say it agains, and you actually have to RAP bar for bar they'd get that W?. I can name maybe 2 that are nice enough to win a round but nobody is gonna' out bar lux that's just never gonna happen.....then you gotta consider his performance, stage presence, humor, aggression, voice projection, cadence....it's waaaay too much.

i swear this thread has more and more battle rap blasphemy by the day :dry:

That's the funny thing. Got style on by Lux but it somehow cemented him in the upper echelons.

As far as top tier goes? For me in all of battle rap it's only:

Hollow
Con
Rex
Diz
Ars
Holla
Clips
Math
Verb

Not just a measure of how "good" they are, but really a mix of ability, popularity, and how many big names they face.

Verb, Math, Ars, Holla? :why: instead of Surf, Big T, and Ill? I don't even mind Arsonal that much but the rest?

Holla bodybagged Ars and not many cats get more views than Holla right now.

Holla is definitely top tier.

I know its safe to say that Lux, rex, mook, diz, hitman hollow and arsenal are top tier.

But in your opinion, who are the other MCs that are considered Top Tier?

Is verb?
Jc
Chilla
Tay rock
Young Ill
Cortez
DNA?

Are there any other MCs that are considered top tier?

Arsonal is nice, but I don't consider him to be top-tier; he lost to Okwerdz, Hitman Holla, Calicoe and Rex. That's 4 major L's, plus his bars are really not that impressive.

Dizaster also needs to battle a few real top-tier battlers from the URL league before we can make that claim.

Verb is a) too inconsistant and b) gets a lot of hate, which is a shame because he has proven to be a beast, but when it matters the most, he doesn't deliver i.e. vs Rex.

JC and Chilla are still on the come up and need to get stripes and get on that big stage. Look at John John Da Don, people were all over his dikk before he got on the big stage - now that he lost convincingly twice against Hitman and
K-Shine he is referred to as "the other Da Don" - nuff said.

Tay Rock doesn't have enough battles.

Yung Ill is definitely top-tier but only when he's on that funny disrespectful shyt. Needs a clear W to remind us how dope he can be.


Cortez might think he's top-tier, but to me he will always be mid-tier, just like Arsonal. Too cocky, full of himself but his bars aren't that dope or creative. DNA is borderline, I like his drive and ambition, plus he has held his own against Rex and killed E-Ness. He's definitely a potential to be top-tier, but he would have to cut some of the filler and corny punchlines.

That was a pretty thorough analysis of those MC's. :ehh: I was highly dissapointed in verb when he battled rex. John John had ill lines and his bars were good, but his stage presence is lacking. Cortez does his thing tho from time to time, but he is hit or miss. I think Tay Rock has the potential to be top teir bcuz dude has a fearless/disrespectful style.

I honestly still don't see how verb beat Hitman, yeah the "Big Gerald" line was nice and gave him that round, but the other two:usure:....I don't see it and I rewatched this battle multiple times, I honestly can't say verb is top tier anymore he on his way to :flabbynsick: status, he needs a non debatable body bag to not get washed out

I see it as the opposite, And I have Lux as number 2 and if he beats Hollow he will be 1 buuuuut I have a huge problem with you nigggas worshiping at the Lux altar, like theres no other battle rapper we talk about in that way. Dude is nice but get off his dikk for real
Also you saying he couldnt even beat Verb, niggga Verb at that time was a beast, one of the best performances ever was Verb in that battle
