I gotta give it to rbe

This could have easily been a win by Writer's Bloque, but he knew getting the guys from STL on Writer's Bloque would make this come down to the last battle.

Props to RBE

The fix was in....lol

I had no intention of watching team homi v writer's bloque but RBE can make this a good look if they get their camera work on point..

edit: Stephen Curry is the best since Jordan

It's why judging in battle rap can't work

Swave chokes in the first, loses the 2nd, has a bodybag KO type 3rd round, thus winning the battle.
Judging works. As long as the judges can articulate their reasoning there should be no problems. The guy you felt won will not always win. Fans need to quit this narrative.

I feel you can win a battle if you have one game changing third round even if you lost the first two rounds or they were debatable. Very rare but it can happen.

You know what I would say this logic makes 0 sense....then in mid sentence Bigg K vs timebomb just popped in ma head.

I see ya point :francis:

Californ-i-a by way of BK

I always think of Math vs Rex for this.

Another one, and not that I agree, because I personally thought Verb won all three rounds, but you can make a case Hitman won the first two and Verb still won the battle with his third.

It just depends on how you judge battles

If you really judge battles round by round, I just can't give the battle to someone just because they put together a bodybag round

However, if you judge the battle as a whole rather than round by round, giving the guy who put together that KO type of round works.

We really just have to watch the battle though. I have doubts that Swave, at this point in his career, can put together a round like that. These type of rounds don't happen too often.

You're right. I have to see how they judged it because I know ARP let the crowd judge one of the battles.

From one of the RTs on Unbias' page it seems like Danny was already losing the second even with the choke/stumble and then caught a Lux third.

Out at Day 2 of the Dont Flop Fl event (I battled Day 1). Clips unfortunately no showed :shaq2: but Bill fukking went tf off :leon:. Lot of dope battles this weekend and packed shows both nights so overall shyt was great. Amzilla vs Blic Barca was crazy (R.I.P. PH)



I heard clips didn't show up. I was at least expecting him to come through and freestyle some old mixtape bars. Few guys I know went, they said it was a good event for what it was. They say Amzilla was doing his thing.
