Rex had a few bad battles (Suge, Cor, Clips, Danny) mainly due to bad business/family shyt and its being held against him.

I can't stand here and let ya'll do that. #dontdothat

I'm not defending him at all. I'm just stating facts and it seems like this bothers you. Has nothing to do with the quality of Rex's performances.

Rex has a 3.6 million view battle where he was in St. Louis battling a dude from St. Louis who has fallen completely off the map. Yung Ill has ZERO battle vids with over a million views besides this one. Rex has at least six or seven, but no, he's not popular outside of Harlem :mjlol:
Remember when Mr. "He's not popular outside of Harlem" went on a worldwide battling tour with Battle America racking up cash & views with nobodies? Remember when he won Total Slaughter? :russ:

You can continue to be upset about this if you want, I'm going to watch Cortez v Cyssero

I fux with you dog, but take that take that take that
:takedat:
TALK THAT shyt!!!!!

If you decide to step on a stage and battle imma judge how you perform no matter the background. :manny:

That's fair. Rex did fukk up his brand but nikkas acting like he's gutter trash now.

How dare some of you disrespect the only legend that didn't leave for 10 years and handpick his comeback.

Californ-i-a by way of BK
Y'all need to get out more. The average fan doesn't say "Man Rex been slipping lately, I don't care to see him" they look and see a Smack event is coming up, and they ask they mans who's battling and if a nikka mentions T-Rex they'll be more inclined to go because of name value. I'm not trying to say Rex's name alone sells out a venue, but if you say "Rex, Hitman, Surf, Clips are gonna be on the card as oppose to "Chilla, Big Kannon, Bigg K, Danny Meyers", one card is filling up a venue of 1,000+ at 125 a ticket, the other probably couldn't get 300 to show up at 50 dollars a ticket. And the latter have won more battles recently and are more "lyrically inclined" but the average person who shows up to events doesn't give a fukk about that. They just want to see names they recognize.

Sorry bruh, Rex is ass now. Like seriously. I don't see the demand or interest in booking Rex in 2015-16 moving forward.

Rex is dated and washed up :manny:

Good luck explaining to people that never leave their computers that things in actual real life dictate the culture. :troll:

If this is the case, then these are sad days in battle rap.

Am I wrong? Outside of Lux, when is the last time Hollow came with three even very good rounds in one battle? I'll wait. :mjpls:
Beat many people at the time top nygga clips, surf in a debatable fresh outta jail, swag goodz, hitman fresh off destroying arsonal, with a dead crowd, wc "legends" pass and OK with the words, lux fresh off you gonna get this work, obviously about to mangle pat stay :wow:, I could go on with the half hearted freestyle battles, bodying a prime big t, and other wins, but as far as angles bars and coming with that shyt, if it's one nygga u can expect to take it professionally, it's lom:manny:
