Still waiting for them good Eminem punchlines broBorn has bars but this performance is ass cheeks, he would die violently in Hitmans first round, and never recover.
You need more bars to beat Holla on the main stage
Now in a small room...
Well then who would you say ALWAYS has dope bars and never spits filler?
Lux? Chilla?
It's gotta be a very, very short list
At this point I've kinda just accepted a career battler like clips taking say 8+ battles a year, three rounds each, he's gonna have some dead spots in his rounds, and I think the same could be said for anybody really
But when clips shyt hits it fukkin hits. Plus his style is just dope. I don't call it giving him a pass just appreciating the whole package (no homo)
I almost starting listening to some em earlier too, and then I was like
I loaded him up on the ipod though, i'll listen at the gym in the morning and report back.
Lmao my G

Nah it's not that he does it it's that he rarely or ever gets called out for it. Every other top tier gets called out on their filler. It seems like no matter what Clips performance is nikkas act like he won.

This nikka Hitman said Born is OD trash.. Man fukk that nikka. 
If Hitman had Born's bars he'd would've battled Lux instead of Hollow. I mean, I fukks with Hitman heavy but who is this nikka to say Born is trash when Hitman has pre school bars at times? FOH

My nikka you don't have to do stupid shyt to have performance. Born vs City, that's not performance? Smh @ nikkas having to do flips, remixes and crazy hand gestures to be considered performers in the industry. If your bars are hitting, the crowd is feeling you, and you're swagging on your opponent, that's performance in my book.
The only thing you can say about Born is that he chokes, but Clips chokes/stumbles damn near ever battle and nobody gives him a hard time.
Let's not forget about Ab Soul. He had bars that fit the format. That's what seperates the industry cats from the battlers. The lines that hit on a song, cipher, or radio freestyle don't hit in a battle but Ab had name flips, wordplay, and no filler. He just needs to work on delivery and change his inflection to sell his punches. I'd love to see him do a PG roof top battle, no big crowd

This is my recap and feelings of the Total Slaughter event. First thing i want to say is S/O to Eminem and the whole Shady staff for doing their best to bring battle rap to the next level. I say doing their best because i dont feel like the event was a complete success. However, i will commend them for actually having an event that started on time and they didnt have nikkas standing around for hours restless. It started at 8-8:30 and we was out the building by midnight. A couple factors play a part in the reason why i dont think it was a complete success. It just didnt have that Battle rap event feel to me. Something was missing that i cant quite put my finger on. But on the flipside, there was also a couple of things that i think change the game a little.
So lets get into this:
The Venue: I myself loved the venue. The set up was close to perfect. The decor was on point. The way the stage was built wit the "Total Slaughter" logo in the middle of the stage. The way the stage was in the middle of the floor and the crowd stood around it, gave it the gladiator feel. Cool points..
Introductions: The way that each MC was introduced was FIRE!! I liked how they had the video intro of each rapper in their element or hometown.
Toe to Toe: I liked the fact that there was no entourages on stage. I cant stand when there is a thousand nikkas on stage. We didnt have to worry about an entourage member throwing a battler off.
I also like the fact that the security was not hounding a nikka about smoking weed. Cuz lord knows i was lighting bomber after bomber. But thats just me. S/O to the nikka i almost killed letting him hit my blunt. He started choking, drooling and turning colors. Yo duke, i aint get ya name but i hope u aight. i should've warned u i smoke good. my bad.
Now although i see a lot of ppl saying this event was a flop, i believe it was a learning experience. This is the first time Shady Records ever attempted something like this and they can only improve from here. A lotta ppl copmplaining about the pay-per-view crashing. Well i dont think the website anticipated the amount of ppl that will be tuning in.
Now as far as the battles go, the winners i have are the same winners the judges went for. By the way, the fact the they judge these battles change the game a little. But i like that. Arsonal 3-0ed Big T. Best Ars i ever seen. He performed his ass off. T-Rex beat Daylyt 2-1 but Daylyt did some bullshyt. I was actually digging the Spawn outfit too, but that 3rd fiasco is for the birds. Mook got the body of the night. He killed Lux in my opinion. I come to realize that Lux is a prop using ass nikka. I should've known since SM2 when he came out wit the casket but damn... The black panther shyt against Hollow and now he brought some coat that i guess belong to Mook at one time. It didnt work tho. Hollow vs Joe Budden, I think Hollow won 2-1 but i also think Joe using that hand held mic fukked up his performance. Overall, the event was subpar and needs improvement but it was only the first one.

Born vs Kaboom is a classic case of a vet nikka with performance vs a nikka who looks and sounds like he shouldn't be battling.
