Norbes wants Roc v Hollow at the next Summer Madness. His personal goat is Hollow
Norbes is the biggest Hollow stan out there. That's about as good of a main event that seems reasonable at this point, I think Hollow would be motivated to go against Roc, but if Roc can withstand Hollow breaking down his character in round one he can win it, but that first round is going to be strong.

Hollow vs Tay Roc would be cool but since Hollow battles so selectively I'd rather see him take some other battles first... Hollow vs Mook for example

And since Hollow is fukkin with KOTD now that Hollow vs Illmaculate rematch would be crazy too. Or Hollow vs Iron

Hollow vs Roc makes sense in a way. Roc is so consistent Hollow cant afford a dry round.

Roasting session could be epic tho :pachaha:

Ok, now we are getting somewhere.

Tay Roc being one dimensional isn't necessarily a bad thing. If you rap you should have a particular style that you hang your hat on. That's what draws the fans in. This jack of all trades business doesn't work that well for most people, but Hollow has done a great job of building his brand. Hollow has Tay Roc beat clearly in terms of technical battle rapping skill. But I enjoy watching & listening to Tay Roc more than I enjoy Hollow, both live and on camera.

Hollow tries to do too much imo, I recognize the talent but it really doesn't grab me like that anymore. I'll really have to think for a minute to come up with a battle where I really enjoyed all three of Hollows rounds. Most would say Hollow/Lux but personally I didn't enjoy Hollow's 2nd that much. Some Hollow fans will see Hollow/Tay Roc as a likely 3-0 no matter what, but the world isn't just made up of Hollow fans so it should be an entertaining battle.

I wouldn't be surprised if Roc comes out and hits Hollow with some shyt

Hollow is more talented, but Roc is consistent and never chokes

"Lets play swear to God. Swear to god cave gang don't have any members that's sex offenders? Nooo?

See I knew you'd lie,* pulls out phone* cause I looked online, and found you two guys. * as Hollow walks past Tay and into his crew lookin his fat friend and other friend in the eyes showing his phone with their pictures in the registered sex offender database*

At this stage Hollow battles rappers who he feels are a challenge. I dont think he regards Roc as that.

Either way he would have Roc looking stupid spitting "ill ice ur house, thats an iglo" after 2 rounds of dissecting his life, career etc mixed with all the other attributes Hollow brings to a battle.

I can't agree with calling the round "Trash", but that round had several amazing moments and several cringeworthy moments. I can't recall a battle rapper having a round that was so up & down like that.
