If JC would actually rap, i think he would clearly beat DNA but DNA would have a good showing.

He’d have a good showing but a debatable against Verb, while Verb has been terrible JC has a resume filled with a bunch of low tiers and his higher profiled opponents battles are not really talked about.

Myers, Magic, Born, Arsonal etc..

Yeah I thought about that. DNA’s problems are with punchers. He doesn’t really allow writers to beat him. He’s one of those guys that battles to the level of his competition.
I noticed anyone who brags about their pen has a hard time clearly beating people the more popular guys. Not necessarily harder time but the popular dudes go above and beyond to prove the pen alone aint enough.

Big T v Danja
DNA v Danja
Clips v Danja
Roc v JC
Swave v QP
i wanna put Qleen v QP but since QP wrote Qleen 3rd round i can’t.
Ill Will v Big Kannon

Off top of my head

DNA vs Big Kannon
DNA vs Chilla (consensus)
Math vs Chilla (I thought Chilla won every round but Math was trying to take his head off)
Goodz vs Danja - this was a great version of Goodz. Danja really gets the best version of top tier guys.

I’m hoping to see Danja against more top tier vets in 2018. I like seeing vets channel their younger selves.

Odd match but how about Danja vs Math?

I know I’m stating the obvious, but have yall noticed the decline with in person interviews once the top tiers left? That’s pretty much why hiphopisreal declined and the guy probably chose to start blogging. I don’t even go to 15ofe anymore either. There were some interviews done at smack vol.1 , but weren’t worth watching. You can’t really get a entertaining interview out of these guys. I went through some old dashliving interviews and those were fire.

These bloggers provide better content than the battlers outside of battling man.

Just like mainstream hip hop, most of the artists are introverted these days.

If you're truly a somebody in this game you don't need to do any interviews. A top tier can make 2-3 tweets and get talked about/blogged about by a "top blogger".
It's all the other guys that need the media.

I don't believe guys like Tay Roc do long interviews with Hiphopisreal without getting anything in return. I'm sure Knowledge the God knows where to get some good herb lol

Plus he's going to chop your interview up into 8 parts and put a bunch of promos on it, I might ask for him to bring me a whole pound.

The top tiers already put in the work though. What about the new top tiers like brizz, top, and chess?

Do bloggers talk about them based on their tweets? I really don’t know that’s why I’m asking. I’m not really a fan of listening to an entire video based of a tweet or photo. I get that it may be needed because everyone doesn’t use those platforms.
