Tdot.. till the death of me
Problem is (and credit to @wizworld and @Kidd Dibiase for keeping this honest ) that BDot takes a long time to heat up. You can't rock any stage when you can't get to the point in 3 minute rounds. Otherwise, he's on my immediate watch list. Maybe he just stays in small venues.. No problem with me. Not everyone is made for the stage, but that doesn't mean they are bad or subpar battlers.

Don't know about that.

Took lux a while to heat up against calicoe and he rocked that shyt.

Took chilla a while to heat up against prep and he rocked that shyt

List goes on

It can be done. It really just depends on what you're saying. With bdots intensity and charisma he had me on the edge of my seat even tho it took him a minute to hear up in the first round

It's like I new the bombs were coming

You've gotta be respected and have the track record going in to do this though. Lux is a good example and a bad example for that one, because Lux actually choked in a round and nobody booed him or even acted irritated even though he was taking minutes trying to recover. The crowd allowed for Lux to heat up because he's a legend, they may not be so willing to do the same for B. Dot.

On the other hand, it's all about poise too, because even if the crowd wasn't feeling him as he was trying to heat up, as long as he keeps his poise and doesn't get rattled like, say, guys like Prep do when the crowd isn't feeling him, he'll be able to catch the crowd if his shyt hits hard enough.

I feel you.

I Think at the end of the day Bars are always gonna win...and as much as people say he's a Lux clone he punches way more than Lux.

I think he would fly well with the Smack audience.

But only time will tell.
He doesn't punch anywhere near as much as Lux. Damn near every bar from Lux is a punch or metaphor. Wordplay and complex bars aren't even Bdots strengths. He even says that himself. He says himself his pen isn't that crazy

True.

And I knew someone would say lux is the exception since he's a legend which is why I also included chilla.

I'm not sure if the URL crowd respects B. Dot especially since he reminds people of lux. He's going to have to be undeniable if he ever hits thr URL stage. And I think he's smart enough to know that. His bars are undeniable so I think he'd be ok.

The only thing I'd be worried about is if he does what alot of people do:

Switch it up when going on smack.

Lux did this in the clips battle.
Young x did it in the Uno Lavoz battle
Diz did it in the Rex battle.. Etc


He needs to just do what he does best because It works. If he starts listening to haters and tries to be different and shyt on smack it may not work and they will be boo him.

:jbhmm:

When you say this, are you talking about that first 1-2 watch/listen? I'm truly curious because to me, a punch is something that lands clearly and concisely almost immediately (like, a few seconds). If I have to rewind a bar/set of bars to understand the punch, it kind of changes categories to something more than or at least vastly different than a punch. At that point, I just call it bars. Lux is much less of a puncher than BDot, more meticulous and thorough in whatever bar/approach he takes.

Anyone chime on this matter of fact.

Interesting. I just consider a punch a line that's a metaphor that's either has a "like" or "more than" or any kinda similie. Lux does that all the time. He does have more drawn out metaphors but he has micro lines within his macro metaphor.

Death to Lyt.

Seriously tho how many fukking times can one battler use defeat bars? :why: Fake ass pen game.


You like Dre Dennis and Chef Trez. Hush. And Daylyt is the only battler who gets a pass for using Defeat/feet bars because he's creative with them shyts.

I see where your coming from.

The thing is, B-Dot has only Battled in LA.

The NYC crowd may be rough on him. Thats the only way I can see him not shining in URL.

But it's a strong possibility since NYC is known to be rough on out of towers.

He says he only wants to battle TH3 SAGA next anyway, so I'm not gonna hold my breath on his next battle.
