A lot of nikkas who don't watch battle rap commenting on who won

You got the ones who only know Lux who say he won cause they know him from the Calicoe battle
Then you got the ones saying Hollow won because he was funnier and got more crowd reaction

I hate these bandwagon fans giving their opinions. Where did you nikkas come from? I'm seeing people on Twitter who never watched a battle in their life saying who won. FOH

I don't see how anyone can hate on Lux's approach. He takes that grown man shiit that niiggas like swave do & puts that shiit on steroids. That niigga sounds so crisp & polished. As soon as that niigga went I was like :banderas:

I gotta give Hollow a lot of props. He's much better than I thought he was. Battle rappers write to the level of their opponent anyway, so for this battle he was forced to be or he would have been barred out the building. For me, he's always been one of those guys that I can understand why people fukk with him, but he just didn't do anything for me. The screechy voice, I thought his rebuttals were corny, etc. I saw him as very talented, but not my cup of tea. He put everything together for this battle.

:manny: it's just like with boxing, casual fans come in for the big events and miss a lot of shyt because of inexperience

i have no problem with it because thats how you expand the fanbase, big events that get lots of buzz and attention :manny:

some of these casual fans might become the hardcores of tomorrow; my buddy who saw the card with my is saying he's gonna start watching URL from now :manny:

personally, as soon as i see "3-0" in any post i ignore it. thats just flat out absurd.

this is really on the level of hitman, verb, chilla vs jc, etc, probably more than that cause them dudes had a expectation and lived up to it. you can call a winner, but really the fans won and both of them won.

i finally got to see my beloved lux in a war and he showed you have to be on your shyt to stand in front of him or die. dude pen game is impeccable and cant be touched by anybody. that 3rd :whew: that performance was better than his miles battle cause somebody was punching back. :salute: to loaded

:salute: hollow he showed that he earned his top spot and stood in front of round anybody else would have died in front of and came out to some on top, but at worst you got to say he made it debatable. that was the complete battle rapper with hollow, personals, lyricism, jokes, rebuttals, schemes, wordplay, props that didnt come with a kickback, angles, name a thing a battle rapper has to have, hollow showed it last night.

the culture won, we will be talking about this classic for years brehs.

Somebody gotta explain how they can give it to Lux after Hollow 1) broke down his entire style 2) destroyed Lux's ENTIRE 3rd round vs Cal

That's easy. They called the battle Lux 3-0 months prior, watched the battle, saw Hollow wasn't coming with that 'flame burgers & frankfurters' shyt, panicked, and now they're fighting off their back, reaching for points to give to Lux. It's hilarious.

I saw nikkaz on Twitter say that the battle was designed for Lux to lose. A cat on Battle Rap Arena even said people claim Lux lost, because their jealous of him getting 40k, which makes no sense whatsoever.

It made sense Lux went the preachy route. What else could he have gone?

Also I think I people are not looking at the big picture here...Lux and Hollow had probably a top 5 or 3 battle of all time and they did it without barring each other to death with gun bars. Not that I don't love gun bars (Where's his mother at? Hole in her face while I reload the other gat. Toss that, move out the way and let my brother clap :banderas:) but its a good look for battle rap as whole because of a match like this.

Because Hollow's best verse was dedicated to a battle he wasn't a part of... I give props to Hollow, for bringing that mythical verse down to a human level, but on the other hand... he wrote a long ass rebuttle to a 2 year old verse that was going at someone else... if Lux had spit that sh!t about Hollow in round 3 and Hollow had responded like that, then yeah clear killer comeback and slaughter, but that wasnt the situation, it was Lux had a verse so lethal 2 years ago that hollow felt he had to spend 3 minutes rebuttalling it in his own battle... If Hollow could have rebuttaled all the junkie stuff Lux threw at him woulda been killer...

I cant call it personally, Lux was consistently kicking it through out the whole battle, and that junkie rapper stuff is a personal pet peeve of mines, and add in that Lux's big punchline moments like the stand up nikkas dont lean line were just bigger and got a better reaction... but i just have never liked his spoken word style... Hollow completely broke down Lux style, rebuttaled some of lux's greatest past verses, and really proved himself to be top of the battle game... but he spent his whole time rebuttalling and didnt really have much offense and he had big chunks of time that were just not at that consistent...

could go either way... I think that a draw is a win for Hollow if that makes sense though...

I also observed that both of them went with they strengths and didn't try to do what the other did too much as to lose the authenticity

Imagine if lux would have tried to rebuttal or joke like hollow did. Would have hurt his performance

Or if hollow would have tried to go preachy and pro black on lux. Just not his forte
