Yo NWX and them nikkas actually went in on that BET stage..

That nikka Rain snapped though, can't front.

link for those who don't even know what channel BET is like me

The Cypher Revealed: Live Cypher [Explicit]

That was decent. T Top was struggling. Clips did his thing. DNA and Shine still teaming up for ciphers :comeon:

Who let Rain up there? He can rap but doesn't deserve the look. Rex should have been up there.

None of them controlled the crowd like Mook:wow:

Looks like the ref got disrespected even more with these cleaner footage and better angles.

Didn't realize Fredro was doing a lot of the shyt as well lol. They tried their hardest to make Keith's performance look somewhat together lol.

About Mook - he just feels he is protecting his legacy by not battling everyone who mentions his name. He's doing the exact same thing as Cassidy when he refused to battle Mook and told him either get the money or shut up. Mook is dope when he wants to be, he's proven that against Lux.

And in a way - Mook is right. Just look at that 50 Cent interview - "these dudes have the best bars on the planet - and are battling for thousands..." :dahell:

Cassidy got 250k and he's not even a part of the culture...so why shouldn't a real battle legend demand some real money?

:camby: no, its because Drake is a RAPPER. Your favorite rapper who grew up in the early 2000's was downloading Mook battles on Bearshare and Limewire. fukk what you heard.


:comeon:

That explains why Drake sponsored a KOTD event? Drake is a fan of modern day battle rap and thats the only reason he's name is brought up in reference to Mook. You really think if Drake wasn't so involved in the culture that he would even entertain the idea of battling Mook?

Bro we all saw that train wreck live and nothing can change how Footlocker destroyed battle rap...shout to @QueenzFlip

I dunno, there's a lot of entertaining stuff going on with this Keith Murray v Fredro battle. They had personals, they had antics, some of the beats were good. We just need better bars. Fredro has the belt I guess, I'm hoping another rap vet calls him out. This won't negatively effect acapella battle rap.

Fair point, but I'm betting Mook felt a lot more comfortable battling his old buddy from Harlem for the second time on a cute little corporate show then he would be battling a new(er) dude on the URL stage.

Totally different environments ya know?

Really both of the battles Mook took in the modern era he probably knew he could win unless he totally fukked up. I don't think he'd be as confident going up against others, say Surf or Math
LOL @ being comfortable battling Lux than Surf or fukking Math Hoffa. What is Math really gonna do anyway? Joke all night? Bring up some shyt from years ago that everyone knows about and has been brought up in 100 battles and that Mook has acknowledged dozens of times on his own?

And Surf has never bodied or embarrassed anyone in his career, and I'm a big Surf guy. But that's not a guy you duck or fear. Your ducking premises are illogical. I understand you don't like guys asking for a lot of money but this is ridiculous.
