Real talk. JC wasn't really saying shyt this battle.Y'all are giving 1 side to the its more than bars argument
The side where we said " you still gotta have bars" !!
It's a combination of it all. Problem is for some, it's all about who hitting harder in the room for y'all. Looking at some of your post you would assume jc was standing there talking low and uninspired like X factor vs clips and Tay roc was wilding like hitman 1st vs Todd. Just stop it. Tay Tay is basic as hell in his animation and crowd control. Jc is a much better performer IMO .
shyt if it was just all about performance why is DNA and tech 9 not higher on y'all list. They are solely based in performance. Just right now they not the in thing to get behind and right now Tay roc is.
Being in this culture I just notice it's consistent mc's and then there are fan favorites. Right now IMO Tay roc just a fan favorite until some point they will turn on him the same way they turned on hitman, surf, verb, they starting to turn on b magic and hollow too. Fans are funny like that
Me I go on a battle to battle basis. Not to ride the wave of some people they trying to claim on a killing spree or they the fan favorite at the moment
Respect mc like joe budden can admit dude was gassed up. Easy route is to call people Stan's and claim people have some personal rift with Tay roc sorry maybe just maybe some of that shyt is a bit overhyped. 12 pages and I have not seen 1 dude post a hot crazy Tay roc bar and I'm sure if you do it will be the same couple of ones where as jc had plenty of great shyt yea he had some filler but overall some great shyt
ROC is 90% goon bars. He's effective at his lane."i'll beat this nikka like the soda machinewhen my dollas stuck"
"dots aint seen nobody with this many bucks since donald trump"
"You gotta call 9 eleven, my nikkaz plane bomb on them"
"i always look in a bulls eye when Im targetin"
For every rapper i intimitade, i eliminate, u got no bars, u just imitate and manipulate, u aint a criminal, u incriminate"
Damn near Roc whole 3rd round was "light" with the exception of the line when he said "if i feel like yall rob me, then ima rob him" "how u bet 2 racks, but sleepin on another nikkas couch" (but somebody already said that about Surf)
I fux with Roc, but u cant say he was spazzin all 3 rounds. nikkaz was gassin alot of his bars. Roc has the ability to sell alot of his bars with agression and his sets ups make some of em sound crazy. I'll give Roc his credit on that and Roc is good for at least 6 good haymakers too
Props to the troll sign cause I really don't see how bars over everything applies to me when I have never said bars over everything. That argument has to go to othersbu,bu,but its bars over everything and ill had the better bars so how does that work?
Roc had the better all around showing. It is what it is. You guys just gotta deal with it.
We can't keep changing the rules on the fly to favor battlers we like.
Ill Will is gonna be a problem.Only way Will can beat Magic is if he comes with some wild unorthodox schemes we've never heard before.
Will and Adhi Boom are in that same category. They can beat anyone with the right scheme, plus they got crazy animation and energy.
Ill Will is a problem.
yall constantly forget about the RAP part of the word "battle rap"Battle rap is more than just bars and schemes. It's an art, you could have the craziest lines but if your delivery, timing, and energy isn't there then they're not gonna hit.
yall constantly forget about the RAP part of the word "battle rap"
why wouldnt those same standards yall use for mainstream/underground rap music apply to battle rap?.....I always see "Best Voice/Delivery/Flow/Lyrics/Charisma" threads in the Booth...im sure some of yall have participated in them...does all of that not count just cause its battle rap? it's just bars now? ok lol
Battle Rap is still Rap but the "battle" aspect just changes things a bit because now there is more emphasis on coming up with punchlines, metaphors and personals but that doesnt mean you should ignore all other aspects of the craft...Tay Roc had better charisma, vocal projection, energy, delivery and overall lyrics that 1st round imo...Tay Roc spit straight goon shyt that round...a few haymakers but mostly straight goon shyt...none of them punchlines but they hit like a punchline because of, delivery, timing and energy like y2dre said...yall need to come to the realization that...just cause its not a punchline, metaphor or personal doesnt mean thats its not a bar and just cause its not a punchline doesnt mean that it wont hit like one....a lot of Grindtime cats had all the punchlines, personals and metaphors in the world but dudes still call them corny...why? because they lacked charisma and all the other aspects of the craft so yall wasnt fukkin with they shyt...it didnt move you or speak to you..same reason why a dude like J. Cole could never talk that shyt like Jadakiss talks it and why a nikka like Shotgun Suge who's supposedly trash and doesnt have bars still has fans
Fixed. Let's dead this PG/top tier stuff. He's one of the better battle rappers RIGHT NOW.
If nggas made a new top 10 thread, Ill Will, Born and zone would all make my list. fukk that almost ready shyt. Out with the old shiity nikkas, In with that new.
Exactly. People just get used to hearing the same shyt over and over and thats all they wanna hear.yall constantly forget about the RAP part of the word "battle rap"
