damn breh.. that's damn near the whole top tier :wtf:

Rex ain't in my top 5 but he's been on a killing spree recently. He showed a flash in the 2nd round vs Con. Peep the Ill battle (regardless of the mixtape bars he went in)... peep battle vs G Soldier.. lightweight opponent but he went in. And apparently he went in against Verb so dude is on his shyt right now.

You took back the Big T comment so all good. His style is just laid back so that's why his performance may seem :ehh:

for Surf: vs X-Factor (one of the best URL battles ever IMO, so slept on), and you need to go back and watch that k-shine battle again. Surf's 1st was still crazy and he got the other two rounds. That 'Stop Shine' scheme in the 3rd :wow: Honestly Surf doesn't have any wack performances, so watch any of his battles really

Verb is one of my favorites but he has definitely inconsistent as fukk lately so I'll give you that... but when he's on (vs Holla, vs Marv in GT, vs SB, vs Hollow, vs Miles, he is a monster with performance, bars, schemes, everything IMO. That guardian angel line is one of the best bars I ever heard :whoo:


Holla vs Arsenal... enough said. One of the best if not the best performance ever by a battle rapper. Was a monster vs Cortez and Verb as well

Rex still aint top 5 to me. Im really waiting for the footage of this SM2 battle.

Yeah I rewatched that Big T vs Surf battle and Surf was saying some shyt in that battle but BIG T was on One, ill admit that but he still aint have that soul clutching line or scheme that makes you pause the video and really evaluate life lol (y'all know like what Verb said to Holla in 3rd rd, what xfactor said to Verb in his 3r, what Charlie clips said to X about his son being his priority, the jail bars/chocolate bars line Swave Sevah said to Syd Vicious).

And with Surf I do think its his flow and his delivery, his performance needs a lil more work.

I need to check out these other battles Verb got cause Ive only seen his battles vs Holla, X, Math, and really only his 3 against Holla in those battles ever really moved me.

ILL is dope to me. All his battles are at least Debatable. I thought he beat Rex on that one round shyt.

i dont know what these nikkka be hearing, barz and scheme wise aint too many fukkin wit ill. i dont like the corny shyt he be doing like the dna battle he bought out the dental floss and the gay shyt. i still fukks with ill and always felt he was the "best" from the lou.

i thought ill beat hitman, cal, surf (classic my top 5 battle of all time), rich dollaz batthe could of either way, edged dna. the rex battle was a 1 rounder, i don't really judge them they like sparring sessions. for nikkkas to say ill can't go toe to toe wit hollow, clips for 3 rounds is :wtf: im just surprised clips took the battle against ill thought he would have taken a bigger name.

Pretty much agree with u but surf vs DNA ain't all that I ain't watched in a while though

Honestly don't remember what was said in that one... I'd need to go back on that as well

Rex still aint top 5 to me. Im really waiting for the footage of this SM2 battle.

damn word? you weren't feeling the in living color line like that then? It was almost as good as his LeBron James line vs Frost imo

Surf is definitely erratic as fukk but I actually like that shyt. Sets him apart from other rappers. Check out his battle vs X you will not be disappointed. And yea definitely check out some more Verb battles

Ill explain my position:

Trex: I just dont see what nikkas see in this nikka honestly, like what battle of his should I watch

Big T: Dont like his performance at all neither his delivery, very basic. His bars are cool but seriously if the only kind of bars you like are gun talk bars I can see why you would fukk with him. But I dont see how you guys stand to listen to 10 min of just guntalk, dude has no versatility whatsover.

Tsu Surf: See Trex description

Verb: I fukk with Verb based off his 3rd vs Hitman (one of the best rds ever). But as been said he takes entirely toooooo long to set shyt up and sometimes it doesnt even connect.

Hitman Holla: Great performance and stage presence but he's lacking in the content department.

I also gave Kshine the W vs Tsu Surf cause his, Kshine 1st rd was bodybag material. "Tsunami Surf" *smug look* "MAN AINT NOTHIN WAVEY ABOUT YOU". I didnt even pay attention to the rest of the rds after that.

EDIT: Damn I gotta take back what I said about BIG T, just rewatched this Big T vs Surf battle and yea dude spazzed on 'em. Surf was alright in the battle but Big T was on a whole nother level.

take a seat young fella. First off...how u give a nikka a battle off 1 round? :what:

Surf deserves respect just off the tear he's been on since X-Factor. The only loss was to Big T which was a great battle.

My disgust was mainly to you dissing Ill, Hitman, Calicoe, Verb, Rex, Surf AND Big T.......but the first nikka you name that u fukks with is Swave Sevah?
:why:

Now, I'm not knocking Swave...he's dope in his own right. But I don't see him taking W's to any of these cats. Maybe Hitman....maybe Calicoe...but that's where it stops. All the rest of these dudes would 2-1 or 3-0 him

i actually like marv but spending three rounds defending your street cred won't be enough to win, he held his own against cortez but didn't bring enough energy or strategy against math
