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
I don't think Surf is the most influential. And he's not the most popular either. I don't think his case is really that strong. Maybe URL Mount Rushmore, for sure

To me Pat isn't there simply because there's other people within his same lane (Thesaurus, Diz, Ill) that had a bigger impact on that side of battle rap.

Cal just doesn't have the badges to be in the discussion. He's not that popular, influential, impactful etc...his biggest impact is being the guy who got killed in a viral battle. He's a dope battle rapper but to me, Mount Rushmore is for the guys who pioneered, made a major impact within and outside the culture and laid the foundation for modern battle rap.

To me

Locks:
Murda Mook
Loaded Lux
T-Rex

Contenders:
Dizaster (begrudgingly)
Aye Verb
Arsonal
Hollow

Back up contenders:
Tay Roc (Biggest wart is he is pretty much a strictly URL battler and he has never transcended the culture)
Hitman Holla (Biggest wart is he's not even the most important battler, historically, in his own city. But he's the most popular battler of all-time, which gives him some support)

I wonder if Verb and Ward is gonna outdo Will and Hitman. Numbers are good but feel a little light for a Hitman battle. I wonder if that’s a RBE issue. They kinda seem like a brand that does better on PPV than it does YouTube numbers.

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

Remy is still a female oriented league that is willing to book a big male battle to bring attention to the rest of the card. She hasn’t went all in on male battle rap.

Jae Millz vs Todd was on bullpen, but how many events does Bullpen really through nowadays?

Like I said I can see ARP having an interest in a few of those battles.

I have to add that RBE’s core guys lack an “it” factor and have to play a part as well.

Nothing to go back and forth about. I stand on what I said

You are being biased, trying to spin your own narrative on something that doesn't involve you personally

Playing holier than thou with a childish picture after every line of type

You want to make it easy on me? Spare me the emojis I know how to read bro
Calicoe: Your daddy WHITE, I have proof!!

Also Calicoe:
nikkas thought that I had sources.
Even though I did, but I don’t have a picture..

Also Calicoe: I didn’t show the proof I claimed I had,
but why don’t y’all believe me, I’m Calicoe?!
Goodz hasn’t shown a picture y’all, focus on him!!

Not sure if the Christian battler gimmick is worse than the Mt Rushmore but that sucks too.

There are plenty of other Christians in battle rap, they just aren't using it as a gimmick. They do all the same stuff the other battlers so why can't they leave Jesus out of battle rap like the other Christian battlers do?

Remember when Saga tried to put Mike P on Worldstar and CHOKED?? Then got arrested by the fake cop after he fukked up his round?

Mickey Factz just said he had A Ward's rounds on his phone.

Why?
Because they’re in Y.T.G (Yellow Tape Gang) together.

YTG is a Battlerap Crew.
Its Mickey Factz, NuBorn, Mike P, A Ward, 100 Bulletz & Bonnie Godiva

No. That's not a reasonable answer.

I'm an adult. If I send a document to someone that I'm not required to submit the document to, I'm likely looking for help editing the document.

So he gets help from YTG AND the Christians? I guess it's part of the game.
