:whoa:

Sequencing is missing heavily in battle rap. If you played out 9/10 rounds word-for-word, they look like random scenes from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Edit - Since this is a performance, imagine going to a movie and showing the entire film in random order. Culture needs to level up.

Sounds of the blammy cool
Sweaty hands holding clammy tool
Opps empty barrel, damn he stool(s)
Mask off in the future, man we cool
Featuring a Drac-o, if you say so
Extra vowels, OVO branding foul
Two arms stretch, landing owls
Waist went to waste standing bowels
Movement lightyear beyond Home Improvement
To Allen, it's just practice
Tyronn Lue, over you
Puzzled, can you crack this?
Muzzled and attached haptics
Vital signs escalating from vital lines
Feeling phantom punches
Quickly bantam hunches
Clearly understanding pecking order
Have you on ICE, family checking border
Patrol knows he's on a roll
Rather on the run

What is this?

Refer to the previously quoted post about UK artists, lol. I was pointing out how most battlers cannot format/sequence material to save their lives (and how easy it is to do).

Watching this again now, and the 1st round is exactly what I was referring to regarding sequencing (spam, apparently). Lux's bars and setups are coherent/connected. Gotti's material sounds like random stanzas slapped together for moments.

Exactly. If we're battling and you clap me in the first line, the round is over, lol. Lux, Mook, Lyt, JC, and a few others at least care about the writing aspect of battle rap.

This will never happen, but in an ideal world, the best possible outcome would be to give Norbes some money, and bring that nygga back as a talent scout. That first Ultimate Madness class was cool. but the talent they have been bringing in has been lackluster. In addition, the talent development has been terrible. Norbes would at least gradually bring these nyggas in from small room, to mid size room, etc. They're are just throwing anybody on the big stage nowadays and it creates terrible battles.

The crucible is trash it just is what it is.

If Roc helps Stumbles remember his bars, would Stumbles become a problem? Remember he almost got Real Sikh out of here in the tourney.

Eazy's the best of the bunch, but at this point for me, him, Slade, and Stumbles are giving me the same bag. They not moving me like that.
