I always looked at the battle as a pretty debatable one that the "Big Gerald" shyt ending it pushed over the top.

I need to rewatch it though, haven't seen it in a while. One of the top 3 best battlers ever to me (JC/Chilla, Lux/Hollow).

Lux/Cal
Rex/Ill (I watch this battle almost every other day)
JC/Chilla

are probably my top 3 right now

Could never argue against Verb/Holla being a top 3 battle of all time. Classic in every sense of the word

I honestly don't think wins/losses matter in battle rap as long as you give the people a great performance. If you go down the resume of most active battlers, they all have about a 50% win percentage.

Which is why Mook wont battle because he's completely obsessed with his winning percentage

Mook is undefeated in the new era, 5-0'd Iron Solomon and 3-0d Lux. And now he wants football numbers to battle again, breh is smart :mjlol:

That's why it's burns Mooks soul when people say that he lost to Serius Jones :mjpls:

He's talking about his return. Mook lost battles pre-return. He lost to Lux first time, for sure.

But since he's come back (Young Hot) he's 11-0, at worst 10-1 in rounds.
True, but I seriously don't understand why nikkas act like that's a accomplished.

Let a current nikka battle Sidesick Sammy (Young Hot), Reed Dollaz (Iron Solomon) and Clips (Lux) and undefeated.

Would they act like they GOD all of a sudden?
NAAH, they'd be like "he faced bums, shyt don't count"

But nikkas wanna glorify Mook, FUKK OUTTA HERE

He ain't do nuffin impressive since he came back that's why most nikkas still have Lux over Mook and have Lux as their dream opponent even tho he got 3-0'd by Mook.

Pretty much. Mook can't be "that guy" by today's standards. Wins and losses are important to hardcore fans like us, but wins and losses don't push the culture. It's about entertainment level & replay value. His battles in this era don't rate highly when judging by those criteria. Even when you listen to his music, the songs just don't have much replay vlalue.
He knows his value will diminish steeply if he battled 3x in one year, so he wants the big bag.
Low key, Hollow has caught on too. The hype around his name would diminish if he battled 3x a year, the entertainment level isn't as high as Hitman, Surf or even Clips.

Are you conceding that wins and losses don't really matter as much as entertainment value nowadays? I can't argue much if you are. I do have an issue with "11-0 with wins over Lux & Solomon is not an accomplishment" though. It is an accomplishment. It just doesn't make me super excited about seeing Mook again though.
