Well, to be honest when you break it down, it’s really not about Roc. They were both saying how it was kind of a round you can use for anybody. But Hollow just said he had the round for Mook, I guess to address things as a society. Roc admitted he lost the 3rd clearly.

Some other cool little notes:
Roc said he came up with the seat buckle line when his seat buckle really wasn’t working

Roc was gonna use the Luigi mustache after the roasting session line in the first but said he’s not good at jokes and couldn’t figure out how to put it in the round so he separated it. Hollow said it would’ve been dope.

Roc didn’t understand the 2K line at first and thought it was light, and then his man explained it to him and said “Nah that was crazy” because he didn’t know that was an option on 2K and said he uses the no fatigue option all the time now

Hollow had a lot of slick lines inside of lines. Like the new 8 line, I didn’t even peep was a whole phone scheme.

Hollow said he never times his rounds when he battles. He just writes until he thinks it’s 4 minutes worth lol. And they both talked about how Hollow’s ability to skip over whole lines and just into another group of bars is crazy.

Roc said he hurt himself pounding on his chest, so in the Diz battle he does it but much lighter lol. He said he was shocked he got a reaction to the 911 line and another line in the first, I forget.

Hollow said he had a rebuttal for the Math stuff, he was gonna say “Didn’t you tell Brizz against Verb that nikkas always say what they’ll do until they’re the ones it happens to?” And Roc and Brizz where like that would’ve been crazy. But Hollow forgot to say it.

I honestly dont know how i got into it. i was always rapping around UCF and shyt and one of my ppls was like "yo you probably could battle rap wth your style". my earlier battles i was tryna force wordplay like a fukk...with no jokes. then after battling a jokey type nikka i started sneaking the shyt in more.

I normally dont time my rounds either...i just go with what feels like 2-3 minutes (my 1st rounds usually always the longest). After being in the studio with son, Hollow is one of those dudes who just has loose 8+ bar schemes and rhymes and just sitting in a basket in his mind and he can just grab that shyt and throw it anywhere in his round at any time. I write my shyt linear af (which is why i dont take alot of battles back to back...i write specifically for one person). If I forget a bar, its hard af for me to go right back into my round just cuz i have such linear way of thinking/writing.

I cant rap for shyt (to a beat); but I already got delivery and performance. I already write bits and one liners in layers. This shyt gotta be easier since I just gotta talk about killing my opponent instead of coming up with brand new never before heard of topics. :wow: The amount of double and triple entendres and wordplay I can do would have my dikk so hard :blessed: I'll even throw a pun in there if I have to.

Alot of people have him losing to charron.

Charron is corny and overrated. I'm really tired of white battle rappers getting extra credit for simply being white in a black league. But the concensus was that roc lost to charron and I got hollow beating him. Although it was great enough where I won't hold that L against him, one of those the fans won situation.

He did beat ars, chess and diz tho.
He did bea

I still say that battle was debatable, 2-1 either depending on what you prefer. I said before it went down and it actually was debatable in the end. I know I have taken up for him but hey, dude doesn't get smoked against URL talent even when people say he does. And he's not even one of my favorite battle rappers. But I feel you, just getting credit for being able to battle against talent because you're white should never.get that much. However, that muthafukka got losses on the KOTD platform that no one talks about. So, in his own arena, he doesn;t always do as well as what people say he does. People just don't acknowledge since he goes against URL talent alot more now.

Californ-i-a by way of BK

Surf coming home Oct 23rd next year :salute:

Will Mook have another reason to duck and not battle Surf :sas2:
I mean a year to write for him should be EZ right :francis:

His manager said he never said Surf was coming home that earlier. I️ don’t think there’s a date yet.

His manager said Cortez has a better chance of battling Surf than most people. They only fukk with Tez because they fukk with Tez, in his words.

I hope mook never battles again. He can stay where he at.

I wanna see him battle again and get his ass kicked tbh.

Dude got lucky, both Iron and Lux were having off nights. Time he gets a real challenge for once
