This is such a close battle man.
You can tell Hollow hates Lux too, which made it even better

For real, ever since that face off...I didn't know the hate was that serious.
I do believe though, Lux has a little nervousness in him, which was out of his comfort zone. He always spits so comfortably, but yesterday a lot was at stake.
Now...
I would be confident in saying, as close as the battle was... in a rematch, Lux would eat this nikka's food.
No gimmicks... he'd look like Grimey, selling dvd's Lux, just to spite this nikka Hollow.
I will say, that was one of the best $30 I ever spent.

They like what that mean
Word, hollow really does. But it was nice to see them dap up at the end...didn't expect that at all. lol
his round against calicoe had double the preachy filler
I know someone had to tell him to cut it down
One thing that surprised me, is I knew Hollow was gonna go at Lux style of rapping and "fans acting like they get the lines but don't" but Lux should have went at Hollow's style of rapping. It's so easy to breakdown.
Another thing it showed was Hollow is a complete battle MC. People say Clips is, NO. Well, he is technically, but Hollow is on another level of "complete"

Lux will do that next battle.
While Lux was in the lab...or off the FDR... preparing, his #1 priority had to be...
DO NOT CHOKE.
To switch gears and attempt to trivialize Hollow's style by tearing it down, he would have risked stuttering, hesitating.
And we all know... once you start second guessing when you're spitting...
But yea... next battle, Lux will break down his style, he'll be in cocky mode on some "you're strongest blow only grazed me" type shyt and what else would Hollow be able to spit at him?
OK so after ordering the PPV yesterday and watching it start to finish, here are my thoughts
(disclaimer: I was twisted for most of it, so memory is a bit hazy)
Presentation
- Stream quality was extremely impressive
- Video was perfect
- Audio was good but not all the way there. It got a little annoying after a while "yo cut his mic" "turn me up, put my mic louder". Sound engineer should be on point and adjusting the levels/ cutting mics without being told to every battle
- Crowd was ass
- Jack Thriller was a shyt host, gave the PPV more of a bush league feel than it deserved
- The red carpet interviewers gave the show a nice touch but I can't say I was overly impressed with either one
- Arsonal did a nice job as co-host and keeping shyt on point
Battles
- B-Magic and Daylyt was thoroughly enjoyable. You could tell both have respect for each other, and both were masters in their own lane last night. This was a great look for Daylyt, I have a new found respect for him. To me Magic won but if you want to call it debatable then I can rock with that. Great example of two guys killing it in their own way
- Did anybody else have the audio drop for B-Magic/ Daylyt? I couldnt hear them as well as I could the others. Not sure if I was my speakers of if they were just lower than the rest of the card
- I thought O-Red and Hitman was debatable. O-Red showed up and when Hitman was on, he was on. Hitman's 3rd was funny but not specatular to me. First was bonkers. O-Red was consistent but the scratchy voice took a point or two off his score
- Calicoe was COOKING last night. I thought he would be respectable last night but he brought it to another level. Surf had a good first round and then lost his steam pretty quick. Cal 3-0 easily. Calicoe getting in dude's face was comedy. Is Cal retiring? Did he say something about this being last battle? It would be a good note to leave on but I hope he sticks around
- Loaded Lux vs Hollow was a classic. Late start, timed rounds, everything aside, it was still artwork. To me Hollow won, but I'll give Lux a round and say 2-1. But yo, Hollow was on some other shyt last night. There was something special in the air last night, knowing you were watching the GOAT battle live
Overall
It's a good look for UW, for everybody that battled, for the culture and for the fans. There was some kinks that UW need to work out, but for their first show on such a big scale, UW was on point last night. It reminded me of Wrestlemania 1. Probably one of the worst wrestlemanias overall, but ground breaking and classic in its own right. Once they nail it down and give the show some polish, UW will be the number one battle league and Smack will be WCW. I'd buy stock in UW right now if they could. That's not to say Smack will crash and burn, I just see them being second fiddle as the momentum for UW continues to increase
Well worth $30 to me, see you at the next ppv

Yo, is Hollow really a fiend like that? Smh, I saw that photo in the back that said "say no to drugs" I thought it was hilarious personally.

Hollow does pills and is addicted to lean. Which is why I'm surprised he kept callin lux a coke head, not sure why he'd go that route.

You know man, go back and WATCH that battle between LUX and MILES, and look at LUX in the present day. Looks like he did a bid. Or either hard times.
