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

[Ethnic Cleansing]

When I think top teir, i think of Battlers who the casual fan would know of... Despite how lyrical you think of them, no casual listener (worldstar viewer) is checking for young ill or big t... Sadly, with that logic, DNA is probally top tier

Hitman, Ill, Rex, Lux, Hollow, X factor, Clips, Surf, Big T I wanna say Con but we havent seen him on cam since Rex. Thats my top tier really. I can't see a list without lux. Did one comeback battle and brought battle rap to a whole different level of popularity. And Cortez isn't shyt.

So whats people criteria for Top Tier?

I use Writing, Performance, Resumes & Views/Influence. Basically with views being the tiebreaker and the last thing to consider as its the only documented fact we can use in battling not W's & L's because thats all opinion.

Lux has to be there simply cause he actually got casual fans to take notice of battle rap

popularity cant be a criteria for top tier. cause none of these dudes that popular. none of these dudes can drop a album and sell wood chips. if they did a free mixtape it would struggle to get 20k downloads.

its all about the quality of the battles. dont nobody give a shyt about a loaded lux unless he in a ring. same for everybody else.

so basically you have to go with who the most recognizable and who drops the best battles.

those are the people we sit by our screen waiting on smack to release.

the mid tier guys we kinda anticipate but we will get around to they battles when we get a chance

the lower tier guys are the battles we watch when aint shyt else out and nothing else to do and we just need some battles to hold us over til the next big release drops.

popularity in terms of views can be considered but not whether a casual fan knows of you
