Yes but it's not a significant advantage when the guy standing across from you has those things as well. A lot of people thought Clips could overwhelm Lux with those attributes, and plus you got the fact that Lux tends not to get crowd reaction at times. However, once we actually saw the battle, Clips just couldn't overwhelm him with his star power and presence. Even Verb thought Lux would lose. "You take Clips in a room, you die."
I agree, that wasn't my point. I was expanding on Clips getting away with so much.

I disagree. You can be lyrical, but not super complex. Nobody said his pen was god tier, but he has had moments of brilliance.

I was really disappointed he didn't beat Hollow. I honestly think clips can take it to another place when he's in a zone that Hollow can't go. I'm sure there are plenty that won't agree.

I think that battle is debatable, leaning towards Clips but I like Clips, and think Hollow is the most overrated Mr. Rushmore candidate besides Dizaster, so maybe it's preference. You want to talk about a nikka that gets away with trash bars but people fukk with, Hollow is your man. His 1st was strong, but he had dry spots and trash bars all over the place.

Cup of cake
Big 'ol back

Clips clearly lost that. Nothing to debate imo.

I BEEN sayin this, Clips DIED vs Lux :damn:
Got exposed as a battler and a man :wow:

Rewatch: Loaded Lux vs Charlie Clips | Smack/URL #SM5

You Charlie Clip, I’m Fully Loaded
You ain’t even a trailer in my movies, snapshot
Ain’t no future in frontin', backdrop
You’re in here with the main attraction, mascot

Lux is very good at talking down to nikkas :mjlol: But this part though:

Yo' lookin' ass wasn’t even good cash up in Ash twat
You spent all that time at the slots and can never hit the jackpot
Charlie Clips gettin' them chips again
Last bet, what happened? Couture said he lost the rent again
When the gamblin' man shook up
That’s usually when he should pass the dice
You sat for like two years without a match to fight

That was just uncalled for :mjcry: I thought Charlie was Lux mans :picard:

I remember years ago, probably right after SM2, Clips did an interview with Vlad saying he would battle Lux using no personals at all. I'm glad Lux didn't go that route though. :dead:

Funny you mention that because they all were wilding at those parts on Ruin Your Day. Geechi was crying at the "You rather the laptop than them back shots" bar

He said that about Rex too. Rex agreed to do the same initially, but then he backtracked.

Ultimately we can all assume why he was pushing the "no personals" thing.

Something I peeped when looking back through Clips resume. He was 15 battles in on camera before he battled another New Yorker, and that's debatable because that NY'er was Con. His next battle vs a NY guy was John John, who is another friend.
Then when he started getting asked about battling some people from Harlem, it was "no personals" hahahahaha. Dude is smooth.

Clips/Rex was initially a “money move” battle for both guys because it was gonna be on Duel in the Desert. The guy reached out to the URL to do the event. Once the URL acquired the battle, Rex wanted to take a totally different approach to make himself look good. It really backfired. Eventually KOTD did the event.
