Loaded Lux vs. Hollow Da Don lived up to all the hype

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

I have it 2-1 to Hollow, with the first 2 rounds being debatable and the third being Hollow's. Hollow benefited from going second and having a chance to rebuttal, but after hearing Lux spit his third I thought " no way he can top that shyt, regardless of rebuttals" he proved me wrong though Seriously, calling Lux out on his short sighted self righteousness in the Calicoe battle was an ingenious angle to take. Not just angles, Hollow showed it all tonight. He might've gave the most complete performance I've ever seen by a battler tbh.

Anyone think it looked like Lux nearly choked a couple of times?

Like before the first round started it was like he was trying to remember his shiit. He also ended I believe the 2nd awkwardly to avoid choking which was smart.

Bruhs, where does battle rap go from here? What could possibly touch this epic matchup? Where are the rappers that could provide such awe inspiring moments?

 

[theflyest]

Was anyone actually physically at the battle? Why were they booing? Just because it's the last battle & that's just want fans do after a long day? Shiit these niiggas didnt even give the fans a reason to boo if you wanted to

since this was lux's last battle you gotta give everyone some time to shake up the brackets again so we can see who would be the best matchup imo

word. watching this shyt i thought it was just the ole lux bias kickin in to be honest cuz they were only givin hollow that treatment, sometimes before he even got this whole bar off

The crowd nearly ruined a classic

It was clearly lux fans in the crowd heckling hollow all night trying to give any reason they could to start the booing up.

And it was a little irritating watching many in the crowd cheer for some of lux light easy to catch shyt but totally missing his more complex bars

It was no reason to boo either one of them. Not like they was saying some bullshyt.

To a lot of people lux does not look unbeatable anymore and many will be coming after him even harder now.

And I think hollow now proved he one of the best to do it and you can no longer hold his hitman etc battles against him.

I personally want to see math verb B magic and clips vs lux and hollow now.

It's plenty of story lines to build from here. Trust me it only gets better from here

I can guarantee summer madness 4 going to be off the chain. URL is about to go in its bag of tricks to out do this event.

Hollow took the 1st and 2nd. Lux got the 3rd.

The fire round line was
Hollow's setup and delivery is

If URL doesn't adopt ppv after this I'll be pissed. When is the last time URL threw an even that you wouldn't drop $30 for??

Things URL need to do:
Kill the long ass wait between battles. The wait for the Lux v Hollow match is just as long as any match at a URL event.
Get better production
Start doing ppv
Stop booking wack nikkas like k shine & DNA(nikkas don't want to see them)
Get the matchups we want to see
Push these new pg nikkas like Ty law, boom, etc.

I know. This is why I can't wait til newer rappers provide real challenges to the vets and dudes are forced to face each other. Bodybags and true classics are what add the real magic to the sport. Bodybags in the sense that it's clear one rapper is just on another level compared to the other and can't be ignored. Classics in the sense that both were at their best and you can't help but watch numerous times.

What I was mainly saying though is it's hard to envision who truly has similar overall packages. I'm not saying be exactly like either. Just the ability to captivate and step their shyt up to lack anything even possibly mediocre. To have identities, be unique in a variety of ways and to have a personality.

I'm saying angles + wordplay + punchlines, rounds that are going places not mix and match schemes and punchlines.

As much as I love B-Magic and his style and relentless attack, matchups like him vs Ill Will and Daylyt show that there can be another level to him imo (not saying he isn't one of the best currently).

I'm not trying to suggest other battlers to change a ton. Just to challenge themselves. I'm pondering all this cuz it's clear that a battle like this just has a different feel. A feel of something special. Perhaps part of it is the anticipation alone, but dudes like Hollow and Lux here clearly show what the pinnacle of battle rap is.

it was timed because there was such a delay to set the battle up he thought the feed was gonna be cut so he was pressed for time

For some reason, it's hard for me to see Lux battling again. Of course I want to, but . I can't wait to see where it's going. It's just strange that this has finally happened though.

My whole thing is watching Lux and Hollow was watching two battle rappers with points to prove. Trying to completely annihilate his opponent with the incentive of being recognized as the victor. Sometimes I don't know whether it's saying it's simply a difference in talent or if it's merely the hunger cuz ay they getting paid. I feel like I'm coming across like I'm expecting too many moments to be like these, but a lot of times, it feels as though there's a comfort certain battle rappers establish where nobody ever loses and there's a good enough standard established rather than topping your best performance.

The truth is, nobody gives a fukk about loaded lux the artist. His biggest fanbase was and will always be battle rap fans. It's his best revenue stream. If he stops battling he will be back to moving them CDs 2 for 5

Lux will battle again fam trust me
