Do not battle Rex in a small room. nikka is a different animal lol

 

[ReasonableMatic]

I’mma just leave these here from (2017)

"I ain't saying ya shyt wack
But bro, it's the same move every time you kick that
Setup punchline, setup punchline -that's how you spit that?
Just a candy rapper with 4 bars; you're a...
Crowd: Kit Kat!

See how easy it is to predict that "

"Now I got something that’ll hold Clips
so I load up with the old Clips
First two was hot…
and the 3rd got STUCK like the old Clips " - Hollow vs Clips
I dunno what battle nikkas were watching, but Hollow did Clips FILTHY
They say you a good nikka, I fought greater
All labor boss, on paper you a 4th grader
All you do is take a dope line or a gun bar
You just reference that with a sports player, you short paper
Fat boy, you couldn't get down with me with Rick Ross' trainer
Just cause you got t*ts, brah.. Don't mean you be thinkin in broad layers - Lux vs Clips
Funny how Hollow and Lux both angled Clips elementary setup/punchline havin ass
Only Lux, Hollow and B Magic I recall doin Clips this dirty

Battlerap got nikkas sayin Clips beat Lux, Clips beat Hollow, Cal beat Lux
Mook vs Lux pt 1 wasn't legendary

I've accepted that battlerap has fans that are dumb as hell
It is what it is

@ the Flat Earthers of Battlerap still tryna rewrite that clear L Hollow handed Clips.

Like that KitKat stanza was the only breakdown exposal in that battle.

His Stanbase is something else.

 

[TheWiseWon]

It could be recency bias, but Rex's 2nd is a candidate for the round of the year.

The best battles are happening without crowds

[theflyest]

Tried to watch Eazy/Todd, but had to turn that shyt off.

The rounds are long, couldn’t stay engaged, and of every battle that involves John John sucks. I’m not going to finish this.

Pretty much sums up John Johns status in battle rap, he's ALWAYS been trash....I could NEVER respect any battle rapper who built their career off of using other people's material.

 

[TripleAgent]

What exactly did Clips say those 1st two rounds to give him either round? Hollow had an iconic breakdown in the 1st, and an ownership angle in the 2nd that hit. You're ignoring how bad Charlie was before the 3rd.

Just rewatched rds 1 and 2.

Rd 1 Hollow

Fire shyt:

Stuck like the old Clips
Kit-Kat 12 bar section (Bar of the round clearly)

Aight shyt:

They got apps for that (I think this was trash, but the crowd liked it, so I put it here to try to be fair)
Oklahoma Nevada (thought this was trash as well)
Rings keep coming out (OBC)
Tina after Ike fight
Never looked good with Remy
bytches with bars
Guess what room I'm in (kinda played by then)
fukk your mom up

TRASH shyt:

Grandma got bit by a bee
Charles in charge
Vroom I'm a vet nikka
The fans make your head bigger
Yo bytch ugly as hell
No expensive guitar

Along with a bunch of filler

Clips Rd 1


Fire shyt:

We gon' jump your mother (rebuttal)
Hollow into your legacy
Died in Pacific time
Group hug
fukk around and mark us all (Marc Gasol)
Cleaned Big T but couldn't wash Budden up/button up


Aight shyt:

Not a head to me
Lean you sip for a hobby
Meant for a body
Still know how my pops look
Bang on 'em and not look
Get a round more than a Pac hook
Dej Loaf
Carter 4
Surprise you like Tina in the limo (easily better than Hollow's Ike bar)
5 hours left to Mother's Day

TRASH shyt:

Goes down like a fukking plumber (freestlye rebuttal setup line, but still wack, lead to a fire punch)
You gotta oxycute 'em
On the same post

With some filler, but significantly less than Hollow.

Hollow had the haymaker of the round, but the rest was okay to trash. He had more airballs, and cringe lines. Clips had a fire rebuttal. IMO, Clips was more solid overall. Hollow had ONE higher high, but had several MUCH lower lows. He wastes more bars as well. I prefer someone who is at a steady 7 going to 9-10 once or twice than someone who is all over the place, going at a steady 6 going to 9-10 once, but dipping down to 3-4 territory a bunch of times.

Round 2 Hollow

Fire shyt:

Ice head, Rex T, Clip Charlie
Sike I lied shirts my man printed
Watch them start losing interest (borderline to me, but the crowd really liked it)

Aight shyt:

Little Clips
Jae Millz in that Avirex
Be more fire (crowd was damn near silent)
shyt he never knew that he had
I don't know how to act at all
That's chemistry (trash to me, but the crowd liked it. They are drunk, high and tired though...)
Harlem nikka with no bread
My soul a e(at?) clipse/ eclipse (this made zero sense, but the crowd fell for it)

TRASH shyt:

PG bytch
Write R-E-S-P-E-C-T when you write the check nikka pay respect
Have him eating this banana (Prep said essentially the same thing and got booed and almost escorted out the building)
Just ate half of the week (crowd laughed, but fukk that, that was TRASH)
Chik-Fil-A closed
Intern (in turn) you get that work for free
Cup of cake
Sike I lied, then a bunch of NOTHING. The crowd wooed because he rapped fast, but he said absolutely NOTHING.

Along with the customary Hollow filler.

Clips Rd 2

Fire shyt:

Sike I...wait I don't own it anymore (rebuttaled Hollow's first AND second round angles in one line)
STFU with the boos let's take this ride
Washed up by John John
Whole Multiple Choice section with line from JJDD

Aight shyt:

Bars at Cortez and D Chambers, didn't feel like typing them all out. Nothing great, but nothing super cringey. "Fake as his chain" was pretty good. This is tough, as it wasn't much about Hollow, but lead into the Multiple Choice which was dope.



Trash shyt:

Deez nuts (gets light boos, freestyles about the boos and instantly gets the crowd completely back)

With almost no filler sans the deez nuts bars. Shorter round, but he got to the point. The Cortez/D Chambers shyt served a purpose, but wasn't that needed. Personal, I guess. The question to me is: would I rather hear Hollow spit his usual one or two good things a round surrounded by filler and mediocre shyt, with several cringe lines, or hear a shorter Clips round with a fantastic opening rebuttal, a section not directly attacking his opponent, but not with as many airballs and cringe. Hollow ended his 2nd terribly, while Clips ended his with a haymaker, which was the culmination of the whole round. Neither 2nd was that good to me. Me? I'd rather hear Clips, his one groan worthy bar he freestyled right out of and kept it moving, while Hollow's round was another slog to get through with a bunch of whatever with a few gems and one really good part sprinkled in. If you edited Hollow's filler out the rounds aren't that different lengthwise. Clips is more entertaining to me and Hollow gives me the face as soon as he starts with the gibberish and filler. To me, he's Arsonal or Dizaster with the ability to come up with a potential haymaker or two a round and okay freestyle ability.

There. I'm sure I'm changing no minds, but I have a thought process, I'm not just saying the shyt to be different. What a waste of an hour

 

[TrifeGod]

200k on that Chess/Rex battle

It's been awhile I rewatched a newer battle back to back

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

Not sure if this was posted

 

[NerdNash]

I had it 2-1 Chess off 2 watches. About to watch again

That boy Triple wrote an in depth analysis like he Stephan A in 98' . Y'all got him fukked up, he gon' get his shyt off why Hollow lost, he said imma finish my round!!! . Typed all that shyt with IMMACULATE speed too, ain't NO stumbles when he typed.

@TripleAgent

Just making a point. I'm not trying to be contrarian, I legit felt that way when it happened, and still do. I got (rightly) challenged, so I broke down my reasoning. I back my words up.
