Yea, Math can't touch "hypocritical like a dying hippopotamus" bars



:troll:

Personally I think Math has better bars, I like his last batch of music a lot more than the stuff I have heard from Mook. Math's voice and delivery just don't do it for me on a big battle rap stage though. That's where Mook has a big advantage. Math's stage performance is average also. I think all of that got exposed during the transition from the small rooms to the 1000+ capacity venues.

Math has been pursuing Mook since the Rex battle and still couldn't get it.

Is he better than Mook? He has worked a lot on his bars, can't deny that. The best angle? Pistol-whipping? It's a major blow to Mook's "street cred", but Mook can always pull an B-Rabbit from 8 Mile, say that he got jumped by 10 of them, and Math's angle suddenly isn't that strong anymore. Plus Calicoe already aired that out, so Math would have to add something unknown to that angle. Just look at how Mook solved the Lux-jacket situation, people really didn't care about something that happened a few years ago.

Plus, they seem to be friends now, I don't see how a battle between them would make much sense. Hollow on the other hand, is a different kind of beast.

I agree. That's why I think this battle puts all these celebrity rap bloggers in a tough position (not that I care that much, just sayin'). It's possible to have it Clips 2-1 on the first watch, and score it Lux 3-0 on the 3rd/4th watch. Clips had a lot of throwaway material that only worked in the moment. Seems like plenty of people in the building thought he won. But even though Lux committed a few tactical errors, he had 3 rounds of that "rewind and there's more to find".

Anyone who does a blog breakdown of the battle has to vote Lux or they will look like

1. They don't understand or care about bars (if you compare the material it's not close)
2. They don't see all bs tactics that Charlie employed to sway the crowd
3. They are a personal friend of Charlie Clips

If Clips had come with Rex level material, I'm sure plenty of people who initially had Clips 2-1 could have stuck to that.

For dude to take so long to drop his recap makes me think he had Clips winning at first.
Blac goes out his way to not say anything controversial. He just waits for public perception to set in and makes an extended blog expressing the general opinion found in the comment sections. I've never seen him go against the grain, especially in battles where you can make a clear case for the other battler.

He did say hollow won and called out surfs reaching first when everyone had surf winning :yeshrug:

So I was thinking about it...Chilla Jones vs. JC is the greatest battle of all-time. It had everything a classic should have. Every round was fire.
