Essential The Official Battle Rap Random Thoughts Thread (URL, KOTD, UW etc...)

Which is the bigger battle? Brizz/K Shine or Brizz/Mook?

I would not be surprised if Shine has passed Mook in popularity, but I have no way to gauge this.

Mook is still the bigger draw compared to Shine by a long shot Shine is not a legit headliner on the business side, a certified killer and a top tier star absolutely, but Mook is still Mook in terms of star power and impact.

I’m not too convinced. What Mook does have going for him is that he has more matchups out there.

I remember I posed the question between shine & hollow and nyggas were stating Hollow for the same reasons. However, it was clear that Shine passed him in popularity and I don’t think anyone would dispute that right now.

Yeah Mook and K isn't even at 800K and it's been out for 3 months

Not sure how big a draw Mook is in 2023. He's still a draw in terms of he has a lot of industry people who know of him and may be more inclined to pay attention when Mook is battling, but I don't know if his name in and of itself is a BIG draw anymore. It has to be the right match up.

Mook's mystique has evaporated

Hollow always been terrible to me lol. The fallout between URL and Shine makes the anticipation to see him back is really high, granted but Mook will always be a name that garners more attention then most, because of his status in battle rap.

As a casual battlerap fan................Kshine > Mook to me as far as excitment in a matchup
I hear mook announced, I go
Mook just sounds dated to me and he raps too long.

Is Shine's name by itself a bigger draw then Mook's. Shine headlined 2x in his career right? Hitman and Rex

There's no doubt that Mook is one of the biggest draws in battle rap, I just believe K-Shine has surpassed him in terms of status. He has a more dynamic style and fans want to see him against anyone.

Mook is fortunate that the Reed battle never dropped on YouTube because that was a bad look. That allure that he's had is falling off, whether he wins or loses.

Hitman and Surf surpassed Mook & Lux in terms of status. It's very logical that Shine would as well based on the type of performer he is.

Ace is spitting some nice lines, I just hope he don’t choke.
