No one has made Roc look stupid on a URL stage. I'll have to see it to believe it. Hollow's dense material doesn't sound all that great on the big stage, meanwhile Roc's relatively simple, straight to the point punches sound great up there.

Yeah the crowd will eat that shyt up. Roc probably will win in the building. It will look different on cam tho.

Unpopular Opinions About Battle Rap
I know I'm late but I saw all of Mass 2 except for DNA vs. Bangz. Saw that clip of Bangz poppin' off at the crowd. I watching a Minnesota Luke blog and he was sayin the word is, he got heckled because he heckled some other folks at another event.
Anyways,
Xcel vs. Shotti P. - I got Xcel, 2-1 and Shotti P. took the 3rd. Both put on a good performance. Xcel turned up a whole lot for a home game.
Danny Myers vs. Gjonaj - Danny Myers, 2-1 with an edge. As much as I like what Gjonaj does, I feel like Danny matched his pen game and then took it a step further in the battle. Good battle.
Money Bagz vs. Pass - Money Bagz 2-1 or 3-0. Pass was not ready and Money Bagz brought it. shyt was ugly. Hurt to see that because I think both are nice but hey, it had to happen.
Iron Solomon vs. B Magic - Debatable 2-1. Dope ass battle. I feel like if Iron had that flow he had in the 3rd against Mook and not on Summer Madness, he would've had a better chance of beating him. B Magic showed the fukk up and he needed to bounce back from the L's. fukk it, fans won.
Head ICE vs. Bigg K - Debatable, 2-1. Ok, I see alot of people who had Bigg K, 2-1 but I have Head ICE 2-1. It comes down to that 2nd round to me. I feel like ICE had bars that made Bigg K react in a way where you saw what ICE was doing worked out for him. I clearly think that Bigg K took the 3rd and he went the fukk in. ICE got rounds 1 and 2.
Hollow Da Don vs. Pat Stay - Hollow Da Don, 2-1. I give Pat Stay the third. Overall, they both showed this match up was an even match up to a degree; the only thing I'd say who had more of an advantage was Hollow because he is way more diverse. Both came with some dope bars and performances.

Hollow destroyed him the first time. We don't need to see that again. I'm not impressed with Hollow now. His style is a bit dated for the URL stage but Roc would be a good match up. I don't see it being good on cam though.
I hear you but I still think Roc is going have to do more than gun bars to beat Hollow. I agree that Hollow do too much at times, but Hollow can steal a rd just off a rebuttal. I think most of us would agree that Hollow has the best rebuttals in the game. He usually has at least one crazy angle as well. IMO Hollow battles are not that exciting but he finds ways to win. Hollow and Mook are similar when it comes to that.
I think Roc beats Hollow 2-1.
I feel like consistency can beat Hollow. With the exception of a few guys, Hollow usually gets the worst version of his opponents. I guess that is a credit to Hollow that his opponents can't come up with good material for him. That isnt his fault.
I also kind of agree with Rex that aggression can beat Hollow.
Instead of going in there trying to be calculating like its a chess game, you need a nygga to go in & bark on him.
The rebuttal in the beginning hit hard watching it live. I had Hollow winning the battle at first. I watched the battle again a few months ago and I now think Lux won 3-0 no body. Lux rds were so fukking dope and they have aged extremely well.I went back on monday and watched Lux vs Hollow. Hollow had an absolutely TRASH first round

Calicoe made him look small that first round until Roc got him back. That Pat Stay battle flashed in his head real quick lol
