IMO Hitman is the biggest name in battle rap. You put Hitman on a card and the internet is lit for a few days. No one else has that "it" IMO.
Nobody gave half of a fukk about Hitman's last two solo battles though. No one.
Hitman is no different than the rest of these cats at the top. You can't put any of them on a card and have them battle anybody and think it'll be a good deal, they have to be matched up with someone either on their level or on the come up.
And, again, I'm not saying he's NOT the biggest name in battle rap, he may or may not be. But him, Mook, Hollow, Lux, Conceited, a couple more, are all kinda interchangeable up there, you could make arguments for them.
