I fux with Hollow heavy but not gonna deny he has corny/cringeworthy moments all most every battle.

That being said he deserves to be in talks of goat based on his resume, he never been really killed, takes opponents at top of their height, battled in multipile era's across the country (away games). How does Mook or Lux compare to any of that?
If it's just based on resume you might give Hollow the nod but it's always more than that. Whether some on this site agree with the logic or not, a big part of Lux GOAT talk is he is simply clearly just a better rapper than everyone else at the end of the day. No different really than Hollow's versatility putting him in the GOAT convo even though he may not necessarily be the best at any one thing. Lux also has that Calicoe battle, which is still probably the biggest moment in battle rap history, Hollow doesn't have anything like that. Mook was there from the jump and handled his career in a way that makes it easy to call him the GOAT even though I don't think he's an incredible rapper nor has as DEEP of a resume as others (though the battlers he faced, taking into consideration WHEN he faced them, can be put up there with anyone. He killed Lux and Iron Solomon, you can say the battles were garbage and they didn't show up, but those are two of the all time top ten, arguably top fives, who Mook embarrassed. He also has Jae Millz and Serius, who were top of the food chain at that time) Mook also has never been killed in a battle, even if you think he lost a lot they're all debatable. Hollow has at least one clear loss (Arsonal), Mook doesn't have that.

I don't really give extra credit for battling on multiple leagues in this discussion because all three have faced elite comp, Hollow has simply just battled more. And also Hollow has been battling for as long as Mook and Lux, but they were pretty much top dogs from jump, that does say something.

End of the day I see an argument for all three. And I see arguments against all three. I also think these are the only three legitimate GOAT contenders. And I wouldn't be mad at Mook vs. Hollow being looked at as the deciding battle, even though I think it'll be a trash ass battle (nobody looks good against Mook)

Maybe it's because I think every top battle rapper has corny shyt as part of their style that I don't fault him for it or even notice it

I wanna know which rappers you guys don't think are corny at all

Yep.. I'm with ya'll on this. I find even some of the "real talk" dudes to be corny. Know damn well a nikka who is bout all that real talk wouldn't talk so damn much about what they do and how they do it. It's battlerap.. there HAS to be a certain amount of corny for anyone to even step on the stage and do it.

Don't forget Miles battled a prime Eddie Morris in 2005 and got spanked in the 1st 3 rounds, don't let the hometown love fool you. MIles is lucky the world didn't see that one when it happened.

If nothing else, we can say Miles didn't take any days off lol, damn near everyone he battled back in the day was trying to bodybag him.

Eddie Morris was a fukkin monster smh

And you'd think the world's most respected rap battle league wouldn't be on some local shyt with a move like this. But hey, they did Hitman's event dirty then you have other leagues like Go-Rilla, SupaNova, and etc. that's been curbed by them so, it's expected, I guess.
they need to do some serious research, im willing to bet NY prolly created the first crab nikka in the states :mjlol: shyt comes like a 2nd nature to alot of brehs up there ESPECIALLY in the rap/battle rap game

there can only be ONE league to starve us and deprive us of good matchups, the URL, only stage that matters :mjcry:
