Based on the narratives that were pushed this year, for NJT, beating DNA doesn’t raise his stock after the showing he had against JC. If anything, it looks like a step down.

I broke down and listened to one of Battle Truth's radio episodes and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. He was talking to Slim Corleon about the Piperboy shyt. Basically, him and Slim were cool but Silm's homie had a problem with him for some reason and Piperboy just made the association of it with him; so he blocked nikkas over it and acted funny towards Slim in the process. And Slim hooked him up with some footage or something for his channel and he didn't give him credit at one point. They got into it and Piperboy got his original channel taken down. Later on, CAPS took down his other channel over the Wing shyt. In the midst of this, it just so happens Slim's other homie ended up getting the drawls from Piperboy's wife because he wasn't fukkin' right, blogging way more, or something. So, I guess something happened over the summer and Slim hinted at doing this shyt earlier. His homeboy used her and left her and was like yeah, put it out there since he was done with her and Slim wanted to get some revenge I guess.

My take: Piperboy was wrong as far as integrity as a media personality of course but Slim done fukked up a family uploading revenge porn over this. SMDH. I get where he was coming from but where is that thin line tho? He said its nothing personal but dawg, technically, his household is affected by that. So I dunno. Crazy shyt.

I disagree.

DNA’s status is higher than JC’s and he’s the most viewed battler.

Also, I’m taking about for an event like a NOME.

NJT battles on the main stage have been very forgettable, because he faced guys like Cortez & Mike P, who are really more midsized room guys.

Last thing you need on a large stage is NJT vs another mid sized room guy like a Rum Nitty, which would be more suited for a Smack vol.

He NEEDS to be in an entertaining battle on a big event, and DNA can be that guy. I know people hate DNA here, but if the battle is as good as Brizz/DNA, which was very solid, I consider that a success. That’s also the battle where Brizz really started putting things together.

Definitely Tay Roc
Roc hasn't changed his style much, if anything the consistency has always been there. He had a bad battle because he battled Clips like he was battling Johnny in the barber shop. He himself said he had no idea who Clips was and remember at that time Clips was in Dipset.

Disagree 100% and at this point NJT is getting overhyped. We haven't seen him work a main stage consistently.DNA for all his flaws is a genuine vet who would work him,
.It's a damn near perfect battle to test NJT before throwing him in the deep end.
