Essential The Official Battle Rap Random Thoughts Thread (URL, KOTD, UW etc...)

They need to drop that card. No battle in the streets, URL could use the excitement.

Classics off performance alone

Lux vs Mook
Jc vs Chilla
Big T vs Surf
Yung Ill vs Rex

Classics off impact in the culture

Lux vs Calicoe
Hitman vs Arsonal
Hitman vs Verb
Math vs Dose

Should go to classic off impact. It changed the way we look at PG's ever since. At least I myself rate PG battle of JC vs Chilla
Yung Ill vs Rex best one rounder of all time tbh

"ask a bout us in these streets, we official like my boy said, I never got robbed in my own hood. I ain't cortez. I'm loyal I don't jump from click to click I aint Cortez. I'm a leader i never play the flunky role like Cortez"

Cortez v Hitman

I gotchu on the Hitman vs Cortez battle tho

I forgot how crazy Ill's round was in this.

Today I switched it up and watched Rex's round first, then Ill's.

Did it change the outcome for you?

Rex is so cold that battle. Breaking him down in that STL accent ahahaha. And that opening "plane tickets was paid for and we ain't fly here". And of course the "4 raids and 3 indictments, I'm excitin". Plus, that environment was perfect for Rex to talk that shyt.

 

[Big Jo]

what was that shyt on again? battle rap america?

did they fold? seems like they would have been a really dope league

 

[DEAD7]

I had Rex winning

Ill had heat, but there was too many dry spots imo

I really.. really didn't think Rex's verse was comparable to Ill's. Not saying Rex was wack, but I think Ill entered the cosmos, while Rex simply got charged with Man 1...

Or was it murder in the first with a handgun?

Now I'm confused.

It's a toss up when played normally, if the rounds were switched I guess I would have Ill edging it.
Ill had the homefield advantage and was trying to bury Rex right there in St. Louis. He dropped 11 plus minutes of heavy bars on Rex's head, and Rex had to just stand there and wait. It's impressive that Rex put on like that with his back against the wall, so I think that's what makes it a toss up.

Makes sens, cant argue with that
I still edged it to Ill though, overall he brought more that battle, punches,performance, schemes , agression, personals. Ice pack had it all

DNA gave a real good interview here in terms of being objective and not being a diva.

Great way to put it. Can't argue with anyone giving it to ill but I thought what Rex did was some legend shyt and he didn't do it with a totally updated and forced style, he was still himself. Anyone else would have died badly vs that feminine nikka.
