My biggest problem with Drake's "Duppy " freestyle is he rapped like that a very long time ago. But when he gets dissed on a track, he goes back to that style but we can't get that from this guy on his albums or mixtapes anymore. No sing songy trap shyt. No tropical club shyt. No borderline Keith Sweat-esque R&B shyt. Him rapping like he did at one point that showcased what he was known for. And after the ghostwriter thing, I'm like I hope he wrote it because the overhyping of the diss didn't erase that from my memory. And to top it off, he dropped a mediocre single we have heard him do before afterwards. And he didn't have any of this smoke for Joe Budden when he lit him up. Smdh.

With that said, battle rappers should know better. As much crime shyt most of these guys talk about, I'd think they would roll with Pusha. Guess not.

The way they talking you would think they'd call Lux's 3rd very overrated cuz it lacked a bunch of witty lines. Or does the multis make up for it? Kinda ridiculous for them to say it's lacking structure (as if Drake's had) when the majority of the verse was relating his upbringing to him not being there for his son.

These guys are dummies. If I’m a battle rapper I’m calling out Drake and talking that shyt. That will get you a bigger buzz than kissing his ass. And he’s close enough to the scene that he may knowledge it

This shyt disgusting :scust::scust::scust:


It's Todd, are we really surprised he took this stance. It's not like Todd hasn't had writing issues himself, whether it was paying homage to other battlers lines or the rumoured Syahboy use to write for him.

How so? You think if Verb gets through clean rounds he auto wins? That hasnt been the case when hes faced any harlem dudes in NY. Hes already lost two battles on RBE, didnt see the pat stay yet but jimz was debatable imo but he lost it live with the judges. Verb in NY when people actually care about the outcome? its gonna be stacked against him.
I'm saying there's enough people that essentially hate Mook and want him to lose that anything considered slightly debatable is an auto loss for him. Verb isn't held to those standards, nothing is ever really stacked against Verb, he just uses these excuses when he takes Ls and some of y'all eat it up. He's the Midwest Clips.
