Essential The Official Battle Rap Random Thoughts Thread (URL, KOTD, UW etc...)

Orlando Dont Flop sounds like it was a dope event. I was peeping some of BattleRapDotCom twitter timeline quote some of the bars from the Magz vs Fredo battle.

I'm a big ass Danny Myers fan but I needed OG Swave to get that W. Its already fukked up I'm hearing he lost to Saga. At the very least, him getting that win is a step in the right direction. So, the consensus is that Team Homi took it, right?

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.

I mean, yeah, we have to wait and see the footage. Seeing the battle live, the fans will say all kinds of things about the battle. I hope he did because Swave has that ability to write like that when he really wants to. He's shown potential in tidbits in certain battles. I mean, one of his biggest wins was with Young Kannon and his performance against Showoff was fire. And let's not forget how he took that O-Solo battle (even though O-Solo beat himself).

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.

Or maybe...

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.

Exactly. A judged battle with a winner can still be debatable.

Pyscosis vs Gjonaj being a perfect example. Some feel the judges made the right call (I did), others didn't like the decision. Thats fine. Both guys stepped their game up because the battle was being judged and that's what matters

Even UFC/ boxing gets decisions "wrong" sometimes. Just the nature of the beast.

LOL @ Myers losing a battle but winning two rounds. I'll wait till the footage drops before I believe anything. People love to hate Danny Myers and love to dikkride Swave so.....

Actually I root for both of them. They both have that underdog effect. Swave got played by Smack after a while. He messed with the Rosenberg and Verb battles. But Smack really hasn't given him, or anyone really from Team Homi, a shot on the big stage in a minute. The fukked thing is, his actual wins have gotten overlooked. And everyone shyts on Myers for so many different reasons; but he is one of the best back to back punchers in the game. He beat Rex but he still gets remembered as the loser over the money; but in the actual battle he cleaned house when it came down to it.

So Myers got more wins than Swave so I wanted to see Swave take this one. At least get him back on the right track.

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.

Amzilla went the fukk off

The problem with myers , is his rounds have no direction. He can literally take any of his rounds and randomly use them vs anyone, and those kind of battlers always take loses here and there i.e daylyt , b magic, because they always at the mercy of the other who can out perform them and have rounds more personal towards their opponents.

I still thought Danny would beat Swave only because Swave had just been bad lately, and I thought writers bloque would win 3-2 with wins from jc and kannon and magic being a toss up because he also been bad lately.

So I'm a little shocked Danny loss that one
