Maaaan fukkk lux! What memorable bars or battles has this nygga had since hollow? Wasn't that 10 plus years ago? Someone like rum with coty and countless crazy rounds and battles over the last decade not being "worthy" of this overrated ass mythical in ya mind ass nygga, is the dumbest running ongoing conversation in the br culture

It ain't Lux fault battle rappers get interviewed and stay saying 'lux is my end game battle' 'I wanna battle lux' or giving lux 2 hours of their time in a live :hubie:

If they leave him alone or ignore him, the BRC wouldn't gaf but battlers stay having lux name in they mouth

When Lux is regarded as the End Game for all the "pens" in BR, from the other writers themselves out their own mouths, blame them.....not Lux

Belovedhood
:wow:
nikkas mad they favorite battlers have Lux as the BAR, bc he just is :russ:

Instead of tryna get at Belovedhood.
Get at ya favorite rapper for losing momentum battling in garages
and losing to rookies in oversized clothes from the kids section.

Math saw those K-Shine views and was like I need to bring back some battle rap content.

Despite him expanding, top tier battlers get views, more then a lot of these other people.

I'm still not sure why Verb has been complaining so much lately about the URL.
People underrate how well battle rap does on podcasts

Lux and Mook on Drink Champs is at 1.3 Million views. A lot of "mainstream" acts who have been on Drink Champs didn't even get that.

Jaz on 85 South Comedy is at 270K, that's more than the majority of their recent episodes, including Birdman and in 3 weeks less time.

Speaking of Jaz, she should be on a great cohost on a podcast.

On a different topic, it also makes me think the URL app does extremely well, perhaps better than a lot of people think, including myself. There's definitely plenty of casual fans that just won't get the app, however, I think people may underestimate how many people have it, and are accustomed to watching battle rap on the app.

In addition, this may be influencing the views on Youtube, as a lot of battles have underwhelming views. RBE just had their biggest event ever and those views are very underwhelming IMO.

A lot of these battlers complain about Youtube drops for exposure, and I'm sure Beasley and Smack are like "these nyggas really don't know."

I think the App has to be doing great. I don't know how much he knows, I know them DMV nikkas are close with P, but Jakkboy said the app has over 100K subscribers and that was about a year ago. Let's say hypothetically it is, that's a shyt ton of money a month, even taking out expenses.

No wonder Norbes is suing for so much
