I honestly don't think Danny deserves a Lux battle. And it's not because he can't beat Lux or he's not good enough of a battler

It's because getting big name battles of the Lux and Mook caliber is not really about how much work you put in in terms of amount of opponents, or how much you care about the culture, it's about building name recognition. Getting a battle with someone is the equivalent of getting a feature on a song. It's basically a partnership. For example, Ransom been rapping his ass off for the last decade, but he'll never get a Drake verse. Not because he's not good enough of a rapper, it's because he hasn't built his name up enough where it makes sense for Drake. Same for Danny and Lux. Lux gains absolutely nothing from battling Danny, while Danny gets everything. Not even money, because he'd be losing out on money taking that battle considering it's on the lower tier of opponents he can take.

Danny will battle Lux and then battle Johnny Appleseed on his aunt's battle league the next week.

:manny: This is why race will always factor in Battle rap. We letting these avocado type of nikkas in the culture.


Jimz is Greek that’s what makes this weird. His last name sounds like something off the 300 movie if I remember correctly. 10 years ago he was old enough to know better.

On a side note the whole DNA Tooth thing is corny. Dude continuing to run with a gimmick after his identity has been exposed multiple times is wack

I get what you saying but I disagree. I would agree if we were only talking about URL. If Bigg K can get Mook, I don’t see why Danny can’t get Lux. Is Bigg K really a bigger name than Danny? I think Danny vs Lux is a RBE type of battle.

I get what you're saying but I think the difference is ARP is known for giving his guys looks. Same kinda way Ill Will is getting Holla, even though, name wise, it doesn't make sense for Holla. But since Will is Arp's Tay Roc, he's giving him a big look. Bigg K is an RBE guy. If Danny was an RBE battler I feel he would have a better shot of ARP would break the bank for Lux to give him the look. But I don't see him doing that for someone not on his league like Danny.

Who is DNAtooth? Is he a battle rapper or just some random person?

What are your favorite lost rounds.

Meaning the battler clearly lost the round but it was still super crazy

One of mine is Tay Roc's first against Geechi. He was losing his mind that around. He still lost after 1 bar from Geechi, but that would've been one of those unbeatable rounds if the Brizz incident hadn't happened.

first one i can think of was JC vs Surf.

Thought shyt was gonna get spooky and then he just...started rapping regular. and kinda bad too

Other ones that come to mind if i think about it:

Jey's 1st vs Lu Castro
Wanna say Eazy 3rd vs Fonz
Kid Chaos 1st vs Danny

Twork my fav battle rapper but he is a cornball for smacking up some dude he thought was DNA Tooth, wasn’t even him, smh, fukked up. Dude shoulda sued him.

Did DNA Tooth admit this is him?
Yeah that was foul. DNA Tooth had a lot of people getting ran down on for no reason

He’s never admitted it and to my knowledge I don’t think he’s ever acknowledged the videos exist. It’s some real Twilight Zone stuff lol
