All I know is this

Verb was the face, but Yung Ill was the nicest, Verb even said it during that era..

Son had everything

None of that matters......
Verb kicked the door down, we don't know if any of these other guys would have been willing to knock.

Over time I've come to believe Holla would have eventually made a name somehow. But all the rest of the Midwest would have been pretty dry. They needed a movement to come in, and stay in.
The Detroit guys weren't moving the needle.

Barfests usually have the most replayability tho :jbhmm:

It's the joke/angle dependent joints i can only watch 1 or 2 times before they get stale imo

I’m with @FreshAIG on this. I tend to prefer to revisit battles with more than just bars. Bar heavy songs are an entirely different animal but when it comes to battles, I’d revisit Suge’s rounds vs T-Top a million times before I watch Brixx vs Nuborn. And this is coming from someone that has Nitty vs Solomon as the battle of 2017 and thinks Nitty has overall had the best URL rounds for the last 2 years.

I never disagreed fam.
Verb was the leader, Ill was just nicer that's all lol

Just like Pusha is more known than Malice when it comes to Clipse, but Malice always been the nicest outta the two

Them 3 were undeniable stars, man that time in battlerap :wow:

Thought I was the only one. I literally agree with everything you said in this post

Yeah I don’t get it. I think because Saga is on the URL, he’s just gonna naturally receive more criticism. Loso has a lot of hype, which would disappear once he’s actually on the platform. If we are talking about material, I think he has way more moments than Loso.

Hollow said in his 15ofme interview yesterday that during Flight Klub he was shook before his Yung Ill battle because he thought Yung Ill was the nicest nikka in battle rap at the time. He said the second round for Yung Ill was suppose to be saved for the mainevent but Ill was so dope that he had to use it then.

I was more impressed by Saga's rounds for Tink than any Loso battle. :yeshrug:

Im watchin nuborn wig on supa writer before most suge rounds :banderas: yall can have that

Non bar heavy battles are 90% shock value for me, once that initial surprise is gone im over it unless it's that old school grimey street talk mixed with lyricism (old ill, rex, etc.)
