My biggest problem with john john vs hitman was the fact with all the flipping and stolen schemes he showed me nothing that says he deserves to move up

Besides the option shyt I don't know what john john brings to the table cause whoever he battles next it will be just flipping what his opponent is famous for

That was a pretty fair and unbiased review :leon:
I think I'm gonna go in that direction for who I think won

John John is nice...his punchlines are :whoo:

he just needs to find "some moves" to replace all the flips. When he does that, it's gonna be hard to beat him. Either that or he needs to learn how to storytell. One round mostly punches and 2 flips, one round storytelling/exposal, one round debuting something original...he'll be top tier for sure. But like Hitman said...1-2-3-punchline, multiple choice. He's just too limited right now

You're new to this battle shyt so I can't fault you for not knowing the history.
But that's like watching the Math that battled Calicoe and saying he's wack instead of the Math that battled Iron Soloman
The Verb that battled Clipse instead of the Verb that battled SB

You mean to tell me the Head I.C.E that killed Tye Knots and his Patna ain't cold?
You might not like his style, that's cool.. But he's far from wack

Head Ice vs Tye Knots RD 1 - YouTube

And speaking of his Cyphers, you mean to tell me he was the Weakest link, and just being there in his cypher with Goodz,lux and Arsonal?
He painted that picture vivid as fukk. If you like metaphors/entendre's/wordplay/etc you'll gravitate to Lux (which I do) if you like multi's you'll gravitate towards Ars. If you like Storytelling you'll gravitated to I.C.E

Loaded Lux, Goodz, Head Ice, Arsenal Going at St Louis (Blue Collar Television Cipher) - YouTube

But with that said, good lookin out on checking his battle shyt out breh :shake:

Appreciate the pass on my lack of knowledge for the game.

Okay! That Ice in the clip you just showed me vs Knots was dope. Ice had way more better bars and put on a sick performance compared to his more recent shyt (which is what I was only familiar with prior to watching this). This shyt was not whack one bit.

Everyone killed it in that cypha clip you hooked me up with including Ice breh. Honestly I think I just watched the wrong clips of him haha like I stumbled upon more of his weaker shyt and judged off that. I got to get accustomed to dudes voice and his slowed down more methodical way of structuring his rhymes.

With that being said, I never want to see him spit like he did in that Tech 9 battle :laff:

I hope he comes through in his next battle like he did vs Knots

yeah those are my 2 favorites of him but apparently his performance vs Goodz was seen as sub par by some :manny:

Nah, last battle of the night so the energy in the room was gone.

"Hey Goodz, why Swizz treat you like a step son?
Always let you hear the beats, never lets you catch one"

yup to me dude had so many quotables.

"knew I was fire so I damn near had to strike him to get a match booked"

"half a gallon goodz gon lose a gallon of blood"

The one about the toothbrush, something about he reached with bad aim and bled cause he brushed me wrong

How he got at rex and clips "no jets but they coach rex" "how we know he clips when we only seen 3 rounds"

the baby wipes shiiit

Also typical Hollow he can make anything sound dope, when he said that shyt about "it aint about bx vs QU, its ehhhhhh vs ooooooooooo:ooh:" shyt was fire

Thats why Hollow can beat Lux, his bars dont need to be on that level, plus I would say his bars in his 3 url battles were on a higher level than his bars before. He was a little lackluster performance wise vs Hitman but to me vs Big T and Goodz, perfect example of everything a battle rapper should be, no homo

When Lux breaks that shyt down on some of them its crazy. Like you might catch the 1st and 2nd meaning but that 3rd one youre like :wow:

I just think he needed to tighten up that second round a little. As amazing as the writing is I dont know that its a good strategy to have lyrics that deep in a battle. Plus his clarity isnt great so its even worse with lyrics like that to get everything hes saying.

I wanted someone to ask about the rusty tools in the shed or whatever cause I cant even decipher totally what hes saying to attempt the meaning

Jessy must be having the worst predictions ever

Anyone who he predicts is gon' win, eventually loses

It's easy as hell to win bets with this battle shyt.
Just bet against anyone Jessy bets in favor for, easy money :win:

I check in on the regular, Verb has the most hilarious interviews man.

Especially when haters from ny call in :russ:
"man, get THE fukk OFF THE LINE!!!
Norbes, cut that shyt OFF"

Watchin the breakdown of lux rhymes, this nikka doesn't need to be battle rapping. Its a total waste for him.
