Btw, I think Hollow might beat Clips because he has better punchlines and rebuttals. Clips is dope as hell, but his best attribute is convincing people he didn't lose when he did, and that might not work against a Hollow.

absolutely, Hitman will make the same mistake he made against Surf. And its really gonna hurt him since Roc strongest round is his 2nd

Idk, Roc/Surf is more interesting but Roc/Hitman might turn out better because they're different. Roc is a baby Surf.

Speaking of Hollow, the problem for me is that he's a grindtime/kotd type of battle rapper. I don't like any of his URL battles at all.


I just watched Wavy's 2nd round against K-Shine. That whole dumb it down shyt with the gun gestures was complete bullshyt.

Roc and shine is a url classic, roc and red is a url classic, roc and clips is a url classic, roc and magic is a really good battle. Roc doesn't have a "ton" of classics like surf because he gets clear wins. Surf doesn't clearly beat anyone. He couldn't even clearly beat a shaky hollow. I'm surprised roc didn't bring that up, he seemed genuinely uninterested in going back and forth with surf..which was probably smart because surf and verb are the same nikka. Lol

Was Hollow all over the place...sure i guess you can say that, but this is how i viewed it

Round 1: rebuttals
Round 2: breaking down his style
Round 3: Exposing him as hypocrite

even without being direct, each round had a theme to it.
It may have been on UnbiasReview but I remember Hollow doing an interview where he said he was mixing up his angles with rebuttals, hence why he jumped from the legends choking to Lux being a bad father because he had to get all his angles out then bring out Blackface. Hollow re-arranges his material as he's spitting it. He's truly one of the greats who never really gets his just due.

it didn't help the hour that passed before the battle happened. pretty sure the whole battle was initially supposed to be unlimited

If you watch the battle you really think Wavy was getting off because of the crowd reaction, but I replayed that battle in the background while I was doing something else yesterday and his second round was utter bullshyt.

Wavy is the new Gerald, all that animation is fire first listen. But when you start breaking down bars it gets bad.
