That nygga Hennyman is trying to attack all angles. He's like the Master P of media, taking what works and just incorporating it. I just knew he would do a radio show and he finally put it together. So now he has a mix of video content, radio show, battle rewatch (one rounds), blogs, and he drops music, battles, and freestyles.

He's already jumped into battle rap and became cool with everyone. You already know he's gonna try to do like Queenzflip, and try to move beyond battle rap.

Battle rap is such a good entry level way into entertainment if you know how to network. These guys encounter all kinds of people through this culture.
Caps had a 5 year head start and Hennyman will pass him in less than 2, save this file. He's exactly who Caps should have become.

To keep it short, I can see what Jay is doing. I can see what PSA is trying to do.

I really have no idea what CAPS endgame is. He seems kind of stagnant.

He's also handicapped by where he lives. He's too old school to talk about new music (from what I can tell).

For someone like CAPS, I do think he could do (& land) the type of interviews Doggie Diamonds does. Off the top of my head, we've seen guys like Hell Rell & Tom Gist on Angryfan. I'm not saying these are big artists, but that's sort of the lane Doggie Diamonds is in, and just signed a deal recently for his podcast.

See you a do-boy, a sideline second in command
You take orders and never spend a SECOND in command
I collect and shuffle grams,
I'm a boss..I get paid for my investments in ADVANCE
Metal detectors, no weapon in my hands
Walkie Talkie, give directions to my clan
*ch-ch* STOMACH SHOT!
10-4, that gun go POP and your mid-section in your HANDS -
Yung Ill vs Tsu Surf

Prime Ill was one of the nicest ever :to:

Perhaps I really hate St. Louis on the low, because I never found Ill nor Verb that impressive. :whoa:


Nah Ill has had good showings in certain rds, his only crazy performance to me was vs Surf, I never got the hype w/ the Rex 1 rounder....rapping slow as shyt dont do it for me, I bet that's where Chilla got the blueprint from smh lol

You buggin' on Verb though, he's caught body's and had either Great or Dope performances thru the years beyond the Guardian Angel shyt. Everybody loses in btwn ...still don't take away from Verb talent when he turn the green light on.

You prolly do hate St Louis lol, cause while nikkas like Surf and Cal had that
“Hmm, I might lose.. cause I forgot to practice sound” :patrice:
Ill and Verb had that “Practice makes perfect, I’m perfect so I don’t practice sound” :blessed:

Bars, flow, presence, originality, quotables, they had it all.

Ill and Verb were definitely Top5 back then
They were just BETTER than most nikkas

And it’s crazy cause NY had shyt on lock til them “country ass nikkas” came around
Spittin the illest shyt while nikkas thought they would sound like Nelly and the St. Lunatics lol
Lux, Verb and Ill were hands down the people’s champs back then on :hamster:
Them SOHH days :wow:

He has had Method Man on too and Play from Kid N Play but thats his cousin so not sure it counts.

Doggie Diamonds sounds about right. Good call.

Battlerap is subjective after all, so I can't really hate on your opinion but to me Verb and Ill are clearly very talented and said some of the illest shyt I've ever heard. Verb vs Miles was fire, Verb vs Math is a classic. Same with Surf v Ill and Ill vs Rich Dollarz (That stanky yankee :mjlol: ). And we all know about Verb/Hitman Ill/Rex.
