People hate on the crowd, but these battles really are boring as hell without them. It's like watching a movie alone vs watching in the theatre. When other people react, you tend to react more yourself. Those funny parts in a movie are a lot funnier with 200 people laughing vs you sitting in the house alone.

Same rules apply here.

I don't hate the crowd but I like how this setting is taking away an element these battle rappers need to adapt to. I think having a crowd is a big crutch for some of these guys to get over time and time again to claim a win. It's showcasing who is built to rap for real. If you can do it with crowd reaction....or without crowd reaction....with no slip ups or chokes...go in whether its a few people to a sold out venue, that shows how good the talent is.

Man I don’t know what nikkas were watching but Lux was fukking cooking. Jesus.

nikkas gotta downplay it. They can't admit that Surf got his boots smoked. Or his Jordan 11's smoked. If any criticism I had for Lux on the first watch was get the punch a little quicker in the 2nd. But I watched it again I was like oooooooooooh shyt, he layered way more shyt in there than I thought. So, yeah...all that star power and politics shyt don't mean nothin' when it's time to work. Beloved showed that.

Stamp. This nikka is a genius level writer man and that's inarguable. I get that when you're exalted like homie has been in the culture that backlash comes with that but I'm not concerned with none of that. I'm here to watch performances that only a few people on earth can execute, and there just aren't many people in this culture (if any) that can manipulate words like him.

Out the gate casually

"You know it's more than battle rap when I'm rhyming it so I'ma just space the bars out (space bar) so that you can screen the process of designing this. This lil nikka aint fought nights I did, youse a body tryna outperform a computer scientist. Firing, you gon have trouble shooting tryna plug into a situation you don't really know why you're in (wiring). Lyrically you out of touch but you just got the feel for this... Then I came along mowed him down (modem down), now let me bring you back online again. There's a message I'm tryna send, but with these settings you can't have these type conversations nikkas like this able (disable) to comment in.
