Both of em gotta get better at rapping on a beat. It only helps you when you battle.
I thought Coffee sounded bad but man Bonnie was worse at least the first round.

Aight y'all got that Town Bidness 2 PPV. And I watched Dizaster vs. Soul Khan.
Cons: Yeah, the battle is entirely way too long. I watched about half of it, watched it, went to sleep, woke back up and finished it. Soul Khan definitely dragged in a majority of the battle; I see what he was doing with the more conversational approach since him and Diz are apparently cool with each other in real life I guess. And Dizaster giving us a 30 minute...even with the material...it was a lot.
Pros: Soul Khan had some good material and was funny; it worked for KOTD. And the political approach that Soul Khan has since he does that work in real life could work even though it shows as an angle for him. I liked that Diz was breaking down his own life in the 3rd round alot to diffuse Soul Khan's criticism of him.
Overall: Watching this live and the battle dragging on unexpectedly....yeah you will definitely feel a way. Me knowing it, I wasn't as mad because I'm on some see it to believe it shyt. I got Diz 3-0 tho. Soul Khan has the projection and material to do it but he has keep his flow straight and can't do a conversational style of a battle with future opponents every time if he continues to battle.

This is what I'm saying. People are talking about it like he was saying hot garbage when it was really his pacing that made it drag bad. It wasn't the craziest of wordplay or anything but you could imagine him coming back having a good performance.

And this another point...I feel like people who know what Soul Khan has done on URL more than likely don't know about how he was on Grind Time and KOTD. It was funny watching it but Soul Khan would semi do this conversational style himself in battles. I think what I liked most about this was Diz's reactions because he was either laughing or into what he was saying; I feel like when your opponent does that to a degree...it helps with the battle.
