This guy Danny, I don't think his current format works in a battle with seasoned judges. He had too much filler that could have been said against anyone. Why would you do that in a judged battle? It reminds me of old DNA, yelling all this bs to get up to a haymaker. If the haymaker is good enough, most of the crowd will forget how you filled in the space leading up to it. But if you're doing a judged battle, how do you expect the judges to conveniently ignore half of your material?

Everything Swave said was going directly at Danny. Swave choked in the first, so that's an auto loss. But overall Swave's round hit harder. Danny had a few dope haymakers in the 1st, and a few stinkers. It was an easy round to beat, but Swave messed up and had to bring the round back.

Danny's 2nd was a standard Danny Myers round. If you're a big fan of his, then I guess you'll rock with it. But I didn't find it to be impressive or memorable. Danny hit Swave with a few old jokes. What are they, like two years apart in age? Weird imo. I like Swave's 2nd better, but not so much that he won that round clearly. Why? Because Swave didn't deliver his 2nd well enough to CLEARLY take that round. There are moments in Swave's 2nd where he sounded so disgusted it took away from his delivery. And his "lima bean" remix didn't hit. I felt like Swave was going to take the 2nd clearly up until that point (the lima bean remix), but the round became debatable again.
Danny fans can argue, "Danny had more bars in the 2nd", even though I think it's a flawed argument when you are using bars you could say to anyone in a judged battle. So that's when it becomes a preference argument. Some people will have Danny winning 1 & 2, but I think the 2nd is hard to call.

For the sake of objectivity, here's one clever bar from each of their second rounds. If y'all are judging a battle, which bar will you remember more? Say each of these in your head, using that battle rappers standard voice & delivery.

Danny saying -
I'll beat this nygga face with the mac handle, I keep something in a Bourbon for nyggas that want to jack Daniels

OR

Swave saying-
Face sliced, play connect the dot with your freckles so when you heal, the scar gon have you looking like Daylyt

There's a difference there, whichever you prefer is personal taste.

I liked most of Danny's 3rd, because he was talking about Swave. But then Swave took off. You see what Swave does, and you just know Danny CAN'T do that. Swave's round might not be legendary, but it's a clear 10-8 round. Swave is up there shaking like he might bite a piece outta this nygga.

Ultimately they both clearly won one round a piece. Danny won the 1st off of Swave's choke, while Swave's 3rd was the best round of the battle. Winning the 3rd convincingly is more important than winning the 1st, so if I'm a judge I might not want to waste my time busting my brain over picking a winner in the 2nd.

In other words, biased judges can ignore two chokes and more than solid 3 rounds from a guy who didn't. RBE lost my respect.

I'm still heated about this Bill situation. Everyone had all those "he got the burna" jokes until he allegedly had one :pacspit:

Trying to get a neega 3 mandatory right after he just came home :pacspit:

K Shine allegedly snitching :pacspit:

Have you seen the battle? I'd bet you didn't. If you did tell me how the 1st choke was ignored, and where you saw a 2nd choke. Another low tier poster.
Lol at your respect being worth anything to RBE when you can't afford to cop the PPV. Go lose it, no one will come looking for it.

Didn't get the proper presentation. The audio was poor. Bigg K dissing a crowd that wanted to cheer for him didn't help. Hey Vurb came out with a predictable white boy angle (he had some shyt though).

:russ:K rebuttaled that nygga & did a showtime on him. He really styled on Vurb & he knew it.

How is the rest of this event?

I could never bring myself to watch all the battles due to the audio.

You know what? I'll check out the Yung Ill vs Chilla. Never watched it.

Chilla v. Ill was.. Ok. I seem to remember that Chilla was still working on pace.. And Ill was rusty but not terrible. I don't think he even stumbled.

Why is king los wanting to battle clips?
Click to expand...
Because he's 10,000 times the rapper Clips is, literally is better at everything Clips does, but this also would be his first real, on stage battle so Clips has a great advantage. But Charlie is also a top tier name (and to be fair, when the rumors first started, Charlie was being discussed as the GOAT and shyt :snoop:), so this is a high reward/low risk battle. Plus Los probably thinks Clips is nice, a lot of people do, not to mention they're assuredly friendly outside of battle rap so he probably isn't worried about Clips trying to expose some shyt about his personal life like one of those other Harlem dudes would do. Probably joke about him getting screamed on by Diddy and how his career never took off but those are easy attacks to flip.
