Clips got washed by Lux. It’s not hating to point that out.
You're entitled to that opinion, and I agree that Lux won, but that nikka was so incredibly biased, it's crazy. To me, it crossed over into dikkriding. Geechi and Avocado felt Lux won, too, but we're nowhere near as one sided.

People go to events all the time without being super into it fam, the average fan at a sporting event cant tell you the nuances of what they lookin at

shyt even The Booth as a whole is packed with casual rap fans, we see time and time again what happens when you get into objective convos about lyricism with them :scust:

In battle rap there are a LOT of people who only go to NOME and Summer Madness, which is the main reason we keep seeing the same names on alot of those cards, casual fans didnt see those vets die 28463629 times on non URL leagues/smaller cards like we did, so they still have faith in them

When you think about it, we probably have 10-15 “ hardcore” regulars that posts here. When you have a big battle (or event), that shyt will get filled up with a lot of casual posters I never really see in here.

Battle rap attracts a lot of casual viewers. URL has over 800k subscribers, and their announcements, trailers, etc don’t really get views like that.

Californ-i-a by way of BK
Why?

Also if you were to pick a battle rapper for each of them to train with, who would it be? Pick one that would be willing to really help them adapt to how this style of battling works.

I feel the Game has clarity, presence and would have more hard hitting lines than Banks. Lyrically, Banks will probably be more intricate but I don't think it'll will make up for what he lacks on other departments.

And interesting second question, I think Math for The Game. I see the Game as being similar to Math. Before I said he'd be Suge just on steroids and a better pen. But when I think about it, Suge performs, and I don't see the Game being a performance battler. So Math is a better comp.

As for Banks, I think Surf would work. Surf knows how to pen intricate rhymes and make them hit for a live crowd.
