He definitely did. I didn't even see that error when I pasted the rhymes. Good catch

300 murders a year
the only thing those lyrics show me is what i already knew, lux can spit better than calicoe, okay and?

wasnt it you same dudes who argued til the grave that it was a ton more to battles than that, especially when yall were trying to defend clips?

guess what i can post aye verb rds and they will come out better than what clips said, yet no one wants to hand verb that win, why? cause it was a ton more that was used to judge that battle, the miles vs tech battle etc.

but now its, "did you hear them bars" lol

sorry im going to judge it off the complete performance, especially considering lux coming in with a casket and all the theatrics. just winning it by showing he is better lyrically is not going to cut it for me. it will cut it for yall cause yall lux fans. thats fine, just understand everyone else judgement on it too. beating into the ground that lux can rap better than calicoe wont sway my opinion. if thats the case why battle at all?

verb is a better lyricist than hitman, yet people still feel hitman beat verb 2-1 (not me) why? because they feel he beat verb on other points. plenty other battles go this way. hell verb lyrically is better than most the guys he get in the ring with, yet everyone always want to hand him a L, why, cause of the other points.

lux more than anyone else will get judged by everything. especially considering he said he was going to bodybag calicoe, can we call what happened at sm2 a clear bodybag? or does everyone want to still overhype a slim 2-1 victory and push it to a bodybag just to get under lux?

and hell im leaning towards calicoe taking that 2-1 for many reasons.

It seems like the "Calicoe won crowd" is trying to hard to convince us that he won. Loud minority. The Lux won crowd is simply saying he won, cause it's clear.

If you think Calicoe won, that's cool. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Just, y'all seem to have some kinda agenda.

When People say Calicoe won, we don't say "Oh you being bias. You just a Calicoe stan"

But when people say Lux won, y'all get up in arms and start "Y'all just bias. I thought it was more to battles than just lyrics" and yadda yadda. nikka if you believe that Calicoe won, no need to try to sway others opinions. Stand on your own beliefs. I'm not trying to sway anyone's opinions on any battle. My opinions are mine, and I judge battles off everything to do with lyrics, delivery, stage presence, crowd control, etc. Lux clearly had a better performance than anyone that night, bars aside. He also happened to have superior bars to Calicoe's by a wide margin. So he wins. No more complex than that to me. If you feel differently by all means, you're entitled to hold a different opinion. But y'all gotta stop with this "Y'all bias" "You Lux stans" shyt, just because you don't agree with our assessment.

From just the audio I have, Lux DEFINITELY bodied noone in that battle. Of course I have to see the footage to make a more accurate assessment. One thing about Lux this battle he definitely needed an 8 second violation on some of his bars. Other long drawn out bars ended in no punch just went to the next scheme. Cuz of the choke, he combined his verses the next 2 rounds which made his beginning of his 2nd round(which was the end of his 1st), and the end of his third round drag. I dont get caught up in who wins or loses that much. I do it for argument and debate sake. I value performance much more than if you actually won the battle. For instance I dont care that Hollow "won" his battle with Hitman when comparing it to Surf losing his battle with Big T. Surf CLEARLY performed better than Hollow and I rank and rate like that. With that said, Lux being the best that ever did this shyt, he definitely could of/should of performed better. He had too many dry moments in his rounds. His flow or lack thereof was so choppy, Im thinking it may fukk up some of his bars when the footage come out. I attribute some of that to the worst crowd in the business, the Summer Madness crowd. Yall good at fukkin up battles, thanks:snoop:. Calicoe performance was a good Calicoe performance. Presence, clarity, simpler yet witty punchlines. Better than his O-Red and Ars performance. But since most of yall dont like Cal, its no surprise the stance you'll take on the battle. But like Corner said and Fresh agreed with its obviously more than just lyrics. But it do seem nikkas play that card when it suits them. Cuz some of the same nikkas will play that card with Lux, then turn around and say TRex beat Ill:wtb:. When the footage drop, i can definitely see me picking Lux in this battle tho cuz I prefer the Ill, Lux, JC, Verb, O-Red type of battler, but its not a "death-in-it" tho
