Chilla put on a clinic against prep :wow:

His performances against prep, Danny and math are God level

I think Danny got him, but the Prep & Math performances made me think he was really ready to jump to top tier.

But he got exposed a couple times after that. The Diz battle was just a terrible look. Then he went punch for punch with Saga in the first round of their battle (rewatch that round).... and I realized I was enjoying Saga more :sadcam:

Why we ain't get this Rex vs Shine??? I guess this type of material is suited for a more intimate setting.

I had chilla beating Danny but not mad at your opinion.. So many quotables on both sides

That boom box line he said to Danny was :wow:

Chilla clowned the fuk out of saga too.

It's a shame he is not top tier status. His pen is serious

These guys really act as if Lux is ducking pen guys.

Most pen guys don't have the charisma or performance to become top tier, which means there aren't too many scenarios that will come up when a guy like lux is going to face a pen guy.

I've always said my favorite emcees are pen guys that can perform well. Guys like lux, verb, and big t. I don't like daylyt, but he's in that category. There are not many battle rappers in that lane. So you have 4 pen guys that can raise there performance to a high level and provide entertainment. The fans will always rather see lux vs verb/daylyt for those reasons.

JC is in the same lane as chilla, born, qp etc. These are bar guys.

The way Chilla performed against Prep almost made me think he could switch to that "pen guy that can perform" lane, but that was a one off.

TBH Chilla only had one good round vs Prep His 1st and 3rd were trashed up filler.

Intimate setting, slight gas in the beginning and most importantly..

The crowd was quite when he was in his sequences which we haven't seen since JC vs Chilla or arguably Brizz vs ShowOff.
Being able to build your momentum in a sequences is one of the most important reasons why battlerap doesn't have the same "feel" as we grew up on

Imagine Verb goin into the Guardian Angel sequence right now.
Shyt woulda been stopped and ran back 3 times til he'd get to the Guardian Angel line.
Whereas how we've witnessed it he built all that momentum up til the Guardian Angel line that made it hit that much harder.

Just think about it.
Prolly 90% of the classic moments in battlerap we love were uninterrupted sequences..

That's why I think that Lionz Den crowd & environment is hands down the best environment. I don't remember anytime a battlers momentum was killed by the crowd. The early Smack joints were great too. Your cheering section on one side, mine on the other. You could see people visibly hating. You could spot at least 5 Jai type dudes on either side. Head Ice got into BEEF because he was in Rex's section, and was reacting to Math's lines. The crowd was into the battles, but there were no stoppages.

Yoooo there's new battle rapper out named "John John Flamez".

Damn king, these young gunners are not respecting your legacy at all.

This dude took his name, Drugz talking about he's going catch a baldhead if he comes to the DMV... dude is a so called top tier who fell back for like a year, and NO ONE has called him out, or asked about him battling again...

This guy John John Flamez has wild stanley's in his corner. Apparently part of his nose was bitten off in a fight, he must be a gang member. He's battling a dude who used to call into Angryfan all the time.

Can't spit like this on the big stage, you got to punch punch punch.

Plus it's been confirmed that Rex didn't spit his second round. Whatever that would have been :manny:

Not saying he wasn't going to still lose but I would have liked to see him not give it to Shine.
