Lux wants the biggest battles. He has a clear trend of making the biggest battles possible, so no one should be surprised he prefers a hitman battle over guys like Rum, Danny, etc.

When Surf called out Lux, it seemed like that shyt was setup within 2 weeks.:mjlol:

I honestly believe someone bigger will always emerge before he gets to lower tier guys that he really has no interest in battling like that.
Agreed. Lux battles for the best look and most money. These nikkas still move like teenagers trying to prove they have better metaphors than nikkas. Lux looks at it like a business, which is why he is where is is. And Danny, JC, and Chilla are where they are at.

With that said, while Lux garners a certain level of demand no matter what he does, he kinda of needs at least a good performance versus Hitman. It doesn't have to be culture shifting, but it needs to be high quality. Regardless if individual people feel if he won or loss, the overall feel from the culture is he's been lackluster in his last few solo battles. So he probably needs at least a Clips level performance against Hitman or whoever is next.

What's next for DNA, John John, Arsonal, Hollow & T-Top?

Smack will book them vs newer talent, hoping they lose. I think they have to move around if they wish to maintain their standing in battle rap.

There’s no fresh matchups for these guys on any league.

I’ll give you credit for providing a list. However, there has to be league owners actually interested in booking these battles lol. I could see ARP having an interest in a few of these.

Verb is right, this is why I laugh anytime there's a Mount Rushmore without Lux on it. Lux had a hand in picking 90% of the first class of URL battlers

Verb, Hitman, Tsu Surf, Goodz, Shine, Ars, Tay Roc, Big T all was through Lux

You not Mount Rushmore because you got 50+ battles with Ice Cream Charlie and Norman the Abortion type nikkas on some no name leagues and you had nikkas pulling your shirt because you made a Marvel Comics scheme. nikkas better learn life.


4 spots isn't enough to tell the story

Lux & Rex are my two locks. But now if Lux is in, then Hitman should be in. I don't want to pick between Hitman & Verb so right now my rushmore would be

Lux/Rex/Hitman/Verb. Any four you pick, a lot will be left out.

Now that we've seen ALL of the top guys take bad losses shouldn't Surf move up the list? He was the first to have multiple new battlers copying his style at once.

There's like 10-11 worthy Mt. Rushmore candidates at this point
Lux/Rex/Verb/Hitman/Arsonal/Diz/DNA/Surf/Pat Stay/Mook/Tay Roc/Calicoe/Hollow

I don't see Calicoe, Stay, or Surf really as candidates

Have yall ever taken a look at the Real Mt. Rushmore? Those faces aren't the faces of the most popular presidents, but the most important/influential. Most of the times these Mt. Rushmore discussions are whack because folks put their fav battlers on there, instead of the more important ones without whom the culture wouldn't be what it is today.

What folks are calling Mt. Rushmore should actually be Hall of Fame

Surf is the most influential battler
Grind Time exists because of what Pat Stay was doing with "Elements League"
Cal is the craziest rise fall rise

The Mt. Rushmore argument is pointless and headache inducing imo at this point an ALL TIME Champion #1-#10 panel would make more sense.
10 names makes sense than 4

That's why Mt. Rushmore arguments should die. Battle fans barely relate to the Mt Rushmore concept but everyone understands the Hall of Fame.

Looking at Remy & ARP's recent cards I think those matches are valid.
Jae Millz v John John just headlined a battle card right?
