Anyone remember that dude Verse that battled Jin? I remember seeing a trailer for a battle he did at Fight Klub vs Mook. Was the footage shelved?

Dude was the first battle rapper to leave with the :dahell: face.

:edit here's the trailer



Funny how mook raps slower and simpler now, whereas battle rap as a whole is the opposite, everybody else is faster and more complex
 

Mook

We should all strive to be like Mr. Rogers.

It wasn't garbage it was eras. Eras advance. We really can't look back at 10 years ago and compare it to today because of course that style will looked played out. Same thing I noticed in the X-factor thread about punchline set ups, but for it's time, it was next level.

People don't know about the era if you going to a rival hood to battle a nikka and y'all just battling in front of the building, all their goons around with guns and you still gotta spit your hardest, disrespectful shyt amongst nikkas who are already rowdy, for no money. These new nikkas would be shaking in their leggings.

:whew: Glad that's over for the most part lol.

Dudes would be nervous looking over their shoulder after every punchline making sure everything cool. Stumbling and choking if they think they about to get their dome split.

thats the thing, when all that fight klub shyt was going down, these nikkas would be shook to leave the spot after it was over. and at this point all these dudes know eachother, and have for years now, but when they money started to get a little bigger, these dudes were plotting on eachother.

they didnt have the foresight to know they would be getting checks (hopefully) with these same dudes for years to come.

as far as battle rap being trash before, thats just not true. like fresh said, just a different era. i wont comment directly on mook cause i'm biased, but you can see how the style has evolved overall
