Today I was thinking about the notion of punchline battle rappers not really lasting long, but to be honest the only punchline battle rappers that have aged badly is Con.

Magic fell off, but that's because of the chokin. Ave is fire, Nitty has been around a while now and he's the best puncher out right now. Big K is dope as hell too.
I think it's moreso they hit a very obvious ceiling and as a fan it's hard to continue to look forward to em when you know they arent gonna push the one attribute they're good at

Caller on Black Compass radio last week gave all reachers an out when he talked about Malapropism. That's gonna give these battlers leeway with these reaches for wordplay

It just occurred to me that nwx vs guntitles 1 is at 3.7 mil views :wow: The fight in the end almost ruined the replay value for me personally, but the first two rounds are still classic

YK vs Mike P *yawn* That environment is perfect for Born. Would love to see Born get Rum tf out of here.

Mike P vs Young Kannon announced for Smack Volume 2 which was pretty obvious for like a month now.

Was this one of the battles you knew about when you were hyping the show?

Not gonna like I'm still waiting for a HOLY FUKK type announcement (Mook, Lux, Cassidy or somebody crazy) and it feels like we aren't gonna get it at this point

This is the perfect set up for Born, but he won't get the invite and probably would find a way to fukk it up even if he did.

It wasn't in the original card, no, but I knew about it for a month now. But I think everyone figured it out.

The whole original card changed after the first three (Hollow/Ars, Bigg K/Top, Red/Tez). Lux was originally on this card. I doubt it'll happen anymore. Once Nitty vs. JJDD was booked, I knew the card would be different because originally it was Nitty vs. Hitman Holla.

I don't know where the Roc/Goodz rumor came from, I never heard about that. Twork/Verb is a legit rumor for the card. There's another rematch that is being thrown around involving K-Shine.
