Essential The Official Battle Rap Random Thoughts Thread (URL, KOTD, UW etc...)

[T.H.E.GOD]

I thought both Lux and Mook severely and clearly out-rapped Verb, like on a way way higher level clearly, skills wise. I also think over the years, both have learned how to “dumb it down” and compact shhit and focus more on out-battling their opponent now, as opposed to just out-rapping them. Lux out-battled the shhit out of Nitty, pause (Nitty got that 1st imo tho, )

you had me until you mentioned mook. Listening to mook now is like listening to dna on the level of corniness. I thought verb and mook was both ass in that battle. Might edge it to mook but it’s a forgettable battle. I feel casuals only enjoy mook like that in that battle. I will say mook against tay roc was a mook I can watch more often,

Mook is a much much better rapper than DNA tho, imo, but I can see why you’d say that, he has that “try-hard” shhit to him sometimes, lol. I’ve been thinking Mook was ass since back when everyone was acting like he was the best. I thought Serius clipped him, I thought Lux clipped him in the barbershop, etc… I just think his pen has gotten so much better since then tho, he’s elite af imho. Sometimes he’s a little too too layered with the wordplay, so much so that people may miss a lot of it, but I be catching it, pause, I love that shhit lol. . I thought he clobbered Verb…I admittedly just can’t get jiggy with Verb’s shhit tho..

Joe Budden is fukking idiot. He said he gave the battle to Rum simply because he had to "deal" with Lux? And what elite lyricism did Nitty exhibit in that bout? I hope Consequence smacks this nikka in the head again.

 

[EzekelRAGE]

His reasoning for giving it to rum is dumb.

It really feels like Verb doesn’t run his material by anyone. Yeah it’s admirable that you clearly write your rhymes, but you gotta have that shyt screened before presenting that product on stage.

Despite all of Verb’s issues, he can still bring an entertaining product at times, which is why he can still generate attention. He never fell off as bad as someone like Big T. If it were that bad, he wouldn’t be relevant at all in the culture. The hollow one rounder, the Suge battle, etc were entertaining whether you felt he won or loss.

Like if Verb vs JC was announced in 2025, you know Verb is going to lock in for that type of battle.

I dont see how anybody be a Verb fan and say they want to see him battle Ave more than JC. As you said, hell show up for JC (and Rum for that matter). He will NOT show up for Ave, nikkas never do; thats why he wins alot (when they do show up he looses clear). As a Verb fan Id rather him show against JC, then to not show against Ave and die horribly and have people questioning his status; again

wish I could find that video of Verb & Chase recapping SM1 “all Mook did was talk about Solomon balls, called him Zimmerman & threw skittles at him”

Yep if Verb isn’t “scared” of his opponent it’s not a good showing.

JC would put him in that space. Ave would not.

hate it when a battler chases someone for an eternity only to be trash when they finally get the battle

There’s gonna be a time when ppl realize that politics are to blame for this MOST of the time.

Battlers will be enraged with eachother and instead of putting them in the ring as fast as possible to capitalize on the passion to battle,
ppl playin politics to be petty all that dumb shyt.
(I’m not talking about the battlers who ask ridiculous amounts btw)

So by the time those battlers face eachother, the fire just ain’t there.

The fire will damn near burned out from all the long-winded “marketing” to make it happen BECAUSE of politics, instead of letting it happen organically.

The desire to force market “stars” is what ruined talent levels, battle quality and work culture.

Leagues shouldn’t fear battlers and just tell them who to battle.

If you that nikka then SHOW that in the ring.

And if a battler gets BODIED that’s just a consequence of battling.

Clips BODIED Roc, it didn’t take away from his talent in the battle and afterwards.

Fans need to be disillusioned from the idea that battlers can’t take Ls like it will take away from their talent.

That’s that Stan culture mentality that leagues enable.

There’s multiple ways to create stars, the undefeated model is corny, outdated and enable Stan culture.

geechi and his battle rap clique spreading lux/nitty propaganda hard on Twitter, they act like drake fans.
