My thing is...I get that some of these guys got wrapped up in the street life but...what in the world made them think that a few thousand here or there or better yet...a few hundred here and there is the way to go. When there is dry spots in the sport for them or the league...that should be a sign right there. Or maybe they feel like a job restricts their freedom to constantly get money and jerk smaller leagues whether its to no show or give shytty performances. But yeah, battle rap money has always fluctuated; its not even big enough now to just give all of these guys sustainable income all around.
I'm not even sure it's all of that. Some of these cats may simply be comfortable being broke and/or live off of other people anyway (family, girls, etc). I imagine that there's a number of battlers who still wouldn't have a job if it weren't for battling nor would they be real hustlers either.

5. Pat
4. Hitman
3. Bill Collector

1. JC


:lolbron:BC might even be number one... no battler entertained me more in 2018. platforms holding him back.
:ehh:Hitman did exactly what he was supposed to do with Shine and Roc
:francis:JC & Gotti should be in everyones top 5 for last year...
:wow:Pat had a hell of a year... I'm not a big fan of what he brings to the table but cant front on his year.





Honorable mention: Iron, he was one clear win away from being on the list and Nitty... Although Nitty was to emotional last year to be on any list :scust: Talking through rounds, storming off stage.

TODD 30'd Nitty and Hollow. Verb beat Mook and NJT.

Stay's above Verb because he won the head to head matchup, also that's why I have Shine over Gotti and Shine only lost 1 round all year all road games except his last battle.

I been knew Mook was washed... so Verb beating him didn't do much for me. I think Hitman beating Roc was more impressive.:manny:

It seems stannish to say but it's crazy how Twork could be on this list given how much he's ascended and how many moments he's made this year. Can't simply ignore all the fukk ups and taking an L to Mr. Wavy. YIKES.
