Exactly. Goodz won because while jokes were considered entertaining they didn't really get you any points in a battle back then. Jokes were looked at as filler.

Jokes and clowning are different. Jokes are what Tech 9 did to Goodz, clowning is what Head Ice did to Tye Knots

He quoted the Mook battle and made that comment.


Tech low key did to goodz what goodz did to danja. Goodz switched his style by blending his old style with tech 9s.

no...just no

Nah man, Diz had some shyt at least in that 2nd round.

Me personally, I just think overall.....particularly fans way more partial to the URL style of battling......nikkas just won't give Diz credit for shyt. Maybe he'll get some love for the Canibus, Iron Solomon, Gjonaj, and Dumbfoundead battles. But when he goes against someone like Rex or Cass......we never hear the end of it....even though he wasn't that bad in those battles.

I see where los is coming from. Diz was going off with some of those bars low key.

Diz WAS bad in those battles. Rex was bad too, he was just more focused so he won.
Cassidy's punchlines were wild outdated, but presence, delivery, strategy & ability to throw Diz off his game made him the clear winner. Still Cassidy's performance was lackluster by modern standards.

I'm not trying to say he wasn't but I feel like Rex and Cass will get more credit for those battles than Diz would. For certain moments or bars. That's all I'm sayin'.

Diz gets more credit than he deserves anyway; he has the strongest online stan base of ANYBODY in battle rap (and there's reasons for that :mjpls:) He's the last person anybody needs to be talking about getting unfairly judged.

You say that he has an online stan fanbase but I've seen some stans that won't give Diz credit for shyt though as well. And I was one of the last people to really be a Diz fan. I was always off and on when it came to his battles for real.

"Damn....we thought he did Mashonda bad" :heh:

He lookin' for a bytch to spend the rest of his life with
I'm lookin' for a bytch to spend the rest of the night with
Your wife, we play good cop bad cop with that trife bytch
‘Cause you hand-cuffed her and I gave her the night stick

Off topic: these fukking episodes where Avocado watches battles with everyone are fiyah. Man, Avocado is a true battle rap head. Its like him, CAPS, and Minnesota Luke know so much shyt and when these blogs, interviews, and etc. drop, there's so many jewels that come out of them I fux with. But real shyt, I didn't Avo was that big of a Murda Mook fan and he know a lot of shyt. He's always been around but to hear him speak on some battle rap history is dope.
