I don't know what to expect from Lux in the Verb battle.

There's a large part of me that thinks he could get booed badly in Houston. I do think he's capable of captivating the audience as well.

I think TBZ is east coast heavy, therefore I'm not sure yall understand how some of this shyt he does just won't go over in the south. He did not get booed one time in the Arsonal battle. I really believe if he rapped that material in the south or midwest he's getting booed.
Houston crowd seems like a Smack-2011 crowd. I don't think it's that easy to get booed. I'm trying to remember, I don't recall anyone getting booed at NOME 8 except Surf after he choked.

Here's the thing, I actually think Verb is not realizing, the Houston crowd is probably gonna be super hype to see Lux because this is his first time out of state. If Lux has a great first round, I think Verb can find himself in a lot of trouble. If Lux has an okay first, he will be in big trouble. I think how Lux starts is gonna determine the battle.

Roc, Goodz, DNA, and JC all got booed at some point

You right, I forgot. They did. But that goes to show it wasn't memorable boos, because arguably JC and Goodz both won against Roc and DNA but got booed. So even if Lux or Verb get booed, unless it's crazy like Verb vs. Clips, I don't feel it'll hurt either of them much

They booed Tay Roc during his 2nd too, memorable only because he obviously wasnt used to not having any gas

Roc & Goodz was pretty memorable, because I don't think they did anything to warrant getting booed. I have not watched DNA vs JC yet.

The thing with Lux is, he doesn't really follow a battle rap format. I do potentially think this could hurt him. He can just rap in NY without any punches or anything and get respect from the crowd.

Verb is a STL nygga, and I think he will be way more relatable to a southern crowd then Lux.

The crowd wasn’t big enough to boo him. He would’ve gotten booed for the Ars shyt in Jersey if there was more people there. Lux literally brought half of the people that were there that night.

Lux is likely to get more love in Houston/out of state. I think some of y’all are overrating this shyt heavily.

Your making an assumption. I don’t think Lux would ever get booed in NY or NJ.

Where are you from? If you’re from NY, you probably can’t even fathom the possibility that Lux could get booed.

I’m just speaking from someone that lives in TX. Surely you know what works and what doesn’t in your region right?

Which parts did get booed?
Third round, they just cut the footage. It was right after the "Detroit nikkas still cock fighting" line but it was only like another 45 seconds and he just stopped after they wasn't feeling it.

It had be the rest of his 3rd that they cut out the footage.....it started to drag a little after the rooster/cock fightin' bar hit, it kinda got to filler territory a lil bit.
Yeah it wasn't wack but it just wasn't hitting and he had already rapped for 12 minutes or some shyt.
