I hate Mt Rushmore because it's just too narrow and in no way can you reduce all the major contributors down to 4

So I have been doing hall of fame and those not in the hall of fame.

If I'm forced to select a 4 it would go as follows and it's subject to change of course:

Mook
Roc
Geechi
Hitman

So for the obvious ommissions

I leave verb off because yes he battled all the kings but he lost to most of them. He also has a span of really bad showings that is kinda still happening today.

Lux is off because although he God tier for me he hasn't done the work the 4 on the mountain has done.

Twork is off for obvious reasons too many chokes

Rex is off because of his mixtape verse run

Nitty is off because he just haven't battled enough God tier guys

Guys i have ushered in eras and been on top of their games for most of their careers.
Yea it's easier to just pick one person from each region, which is basically what you did

Mt Rushmore #1 is Loaded Lux to me.

• #1 pen in Battlerap, pinnacle of lyricism
• All Battlerap skill sliders on high
• Shifted the style structure of Battlerap, TWICE
• Got the MOST sons
• Is the MOST imitated Battlerapper
• Always upheld the art
• Chose consciousness and upheld it in his material for most of his career in a field where 99% don’t because it’s easier

That’s not even taking into consideration that Lux
• Made Battlerap go most viral in mainstream off his art.. TWICE
• Barely even entertains the fukkery in Battlerap
• Makes sure to always remind the culture to focus on the art

To not put Loaded Lux on Mt Rushmore is truly laughable to me.

B Dot gentlemans 30. Saga was not as convincing nor intelligible as B Dot. His vocal inflection is weird shyt is too forced, B Dot sounded more genuine.

:wow:

Mook doing more work than Lux is the silliest opinion I've ever read, and I've seen a lot over the years on Tbz 😂

This was the only performance from Saga I liked, like ever, and he fell off right after this classic battle.

I still have Saga 2-1, second is clear and he edged the 3rd. Dot took his foot off the gas in the later rounds, and Saga took off on him with the Football angle and Christianity History in the 3rd. Nobody bombed on Baby Lux like that before lol.

Jjdd gives me shady vibes iam almost certain he did something on that Cass battle. Prolly just paid him to use his name on the card and then to fake beef

Geechi is up there. He's fallen off now, but he was legitimately the battler of the year for 3 years.

So was clips,magic nitty etc although not officially but they arguably had a bigger impact on battle rap. Skill wise I just don't see Geechi up there with the goats
