Lol Ace isn't even overly cocky, not anymore than any other battle rapper. Every battle rapper should think they're the best (mind you, I've never even heard Ace ever say he was).
Ace hasn't been on a big Smack card in damn near 2 years lol. SuperFight was the first "big" Smack event Ace has been on since 2019. And he technically wasn't even on it.
I remember when people hated Ace during the JJDD feud and it was literally JJDD that escalated it into some gunplay shyt, and you had fans saying "Ace thinks he's too tough" like lol what? These battle rap fans just be projecting their own insecurities bro.
Why does it feel like Ace has been seen more than that? Maybe it’s the gig with JayBlac + the John John feud/battle being discussed everywhere.
…I can agree with the confidence. It really doesn’t pay to be humble in Battle Rap. Even if you feel like Swamp is ass as a rapper…the way he came in annoying top tier battle rappers with his attitude got him standing in front of Twork, T-Top, and guys like Roc wanting to battle him.
…JJ pulled up with a strap after a physical threat when he could have just as easily asked for a fade. Kinda soft tbh. On top that…calling out someone for being too tough in a profession where nikkaz rap about killing each other doesn’t make sense.
…yea idk bro. I was just guessing as to maybe why they don’t like him.
