I ain't mad at it, his resume is right there with Ars, Verb, Diz
He's always been trash far as talent, so that's why he never gets mentioned in the discussion. Out of all his battles since GT he's never had a battle that says damn I gotta watch that again.
Thoughts?
I made a case for why he's in the discussion months ago. No one wanted to hear it, but we can all acknowledge that he's accomplished a lot.
I think he's somewhere around #6-7 at best though.
Mook & Lux are considered to be locks. I have Hollow, Arsonal & Diz over him, Rex's spot will be hotly debated, and now Tay Roc has entered the discussion as well.
I think we should take Aye Verb out of all Mt. Rushmore talk as Tay Roc & DNA have accomplished more, plus they are better battlers.

Unpopular Opinions About Battle Rap
DNA should get the look. Regardless of how I feel about him taking sides with whatever league because he has sponsors that favor him and how not excited I get when he is on another card, he deserves the recognition.

I no longer consider mook a lock, and it's many that agree with that. He is only a lock for guys from NY stuck in old smack era.
If mook is a lock for Mt rushmore we might as well start bringing up names like supernatural, juice, Craig G, and mad skillz.

Mook is gonna be forced to battle again to stay on mt rushmore. Lux strategy is way better than Mook at this point, hes getting his high pay, hes staying relevant, cementing his status on mt rushmore while mook is running and hiding, yeah mook did beat him recently clear but it doesnt matter. mook gotta have a war in this era and not clearly lose in that war. and its gotta be a new nikka, surf when he comes home would obviously look like the perfect matchup but even if its someone else, if hes happy to fall off so be it but i think there was a time he didnt have to battle but now his shyt is in jeopardy. hollow and lux are locks at this point. so you only have two spots left open for the near future, he gonna have to fight for that
nah fukk that DNA talk, Arsonal, who I wouldnt put up there, I would put way before him. people might disagree but you still have to a stake in being the nicest battle rapper to be on there imo, i mean were still judging battle rap. idgaf if you had a league or you did this and that if you cant claim to possibly be the best battler. I mean I know DNA is well rounded and yeah hes a matchup problem and shyt but nah man he was never the nicest battler, i hate that extracurucular shyt like in hip hop people would be like, dont get me wrong, jayz is also possibly the nicest, but oh jay married beyonce like nikka IDGAF im not fukking her, so DNA no to me

Mt. Rushmore is not the same as the GOAT discussion. DNA is a first ballot hall of famer, not Mt. Rushmore

DNA On Rushmore 
He will travel, is always prepared and can legit freestyle. He has battled a whose who and has a lot of good wins, because he was prepared that the other battlers would underestimated him. But there has to be some criteria for this, not just based on resume and wins, because the wins at the end of the day are opinions of the fans.
My criteria
Resume & Wins
But what is the impact on the game? Have they been a game changer, did they influence the other battlers after one of their battles?
Do they have legendary bars/schemes (Starship Enterprise, Guardian Angels, Lost Gentleman, Jordan/AI. Rikers, Mac running thru Windows etc)
Do their battles have replay value?
When you think of the BEST/GOATS, are they one of the first names that spring to mind.
Lux, Mook, Arsonal, Hollow, Con, are clearly ahead of DNA.
Then you got names like Illmac, Solomon, Hitman, Diz, Rex & Verb (who have legendary schemes, but fell the fukk off, but are great for soundbites and fukkery) and a few others that escape me for now.
He's definitely top 15.
But he has no battles vs Hitman, Calicoe, Hollow, Con, the only contender he has faced is Arsonal. So as of right now, no he isnt Rushmore material
And I don't want to hear about his battle vs the eternal gatekeepr Big Kannon, because the reality is, he is in the position that he should be beating the likes of the Big Kannon's of the world. And while Suge improved, he is limited, you don't go on the Mountain for beating the likes of BK & Suge tbh.

Dna has a better argument to be on Mt rushmore than mook.
Yea I said it.
Yea I said it.
The problem with all that is that the Mt. Rushmore discussion starts with Mook. If you want to exclude the Smack DVD era, then take Mook & Lux off. But Mook laid the foundation and influenced all these guys that we love to want to battle.
Ultimately battle rap Mt. Rushmore arguments are going to have a bunch of people with different lists AND different criteria. So it's really just something to pass the time imo, too difficult to narrow it down in a way that everyone can agree with.
