I disagree. Hollow has a lot of premeditated bars. This is a guy that flat out said he can't have a gf because he is too dedicated to battle rap. His biggest gift is his ability to switch his material around on demand. Most guys come with a set round 1, 2, & 3. They spit it in that exact same order. Hollow can switch his rounds around. For example, he can take material from round 3 & add it to round 1. He can switch material around during a battle which is amazing. Against Clips in the first round, he noticed the crowd wasn't fukking with some bars & immediately switched it up to "I ain't saying your shyt wack....(the kit kat bar)." Problem with this approach would be he forgets to use some bars he intended to use.

I don't know man. I don't think there is anyone who spits freestyles like they are writtens, even if they can freestyle at a high level.

Prep is actually someone not mentioned who can freestyle at a high level. Shyt sounds better than his writtens.

Prep, yeah, he did do it smoothly and I give you that.

Basically you're saying Hollow does some what Diz would do. Switch around certain rounds or bars as they come to him in his battles. Yeah I can see that from time to time. However, he actually does freestyle, too. Some of those bars are premeditated but I don't think everything he has freestyled about is either.

Hollow gets back on track. Diz has the tendency to scrap everything and start that huffing and puffing freestyle shyt for a WHOLE round.

Trez and Prep (mentioned earlier) are also good with the frees.

Yeah there are definitely differences.

Hollow is way more controlled & consistent. He doesn't get flustered. He is a professional.

With Diz, you don't know what you are going to get. You may get the controlled Diz (he's probably sober during these times), or you'll get the guy that gives off this anxious, jittery, nervous energy like he needs a xanax to calm down. The guy can either beat or lose to anybody. I truly believe that. The type of guy to come in & beat a big name guy & turn around & lose to Larry from Nebraska.

I do think when Diz goes into that trance, he has more potential to go outer space than Hollow.

I think Diz would beat hollow if they ever battled
