Hitman still won 2-1 to me!!!

"I walk in, Hugs from the bytches! The Baddest!
He walks in? Tragic, No Looks, Magic!

:wow:
I remember a year after the battle hitman said he was still mad at his pops and he should be

Most people got the w to verb just because of that moment

For me bar for bar hitman clearly beat him in the 1st and 2nd and the 3rd was good too he was spazzing

nikkas talking about surf being trash must be new fans

All his battles on URL until and including the roc battle were fire(except DNA and clips)

It's just when he started battling this new guys he's clearly just in it for the money

Plus I think because he's on his music bag his written is a lot less lyrical.comparing his X factor shyt with his rum nitty shyt, lyrically he dumbed it down a lot

The Surf/Rum battle shows the major flaw in how battles are judged. I never liked that 2-1, 3-0 shyt.

You may have won the first 3 quarters of the game by a total of 10 points but if I score 21 in the 4th and take the lead then you lost the fukking game. Battle rap content should be judged in wholes instead of parts.

If y’all watch boxing, a lot of this argument comes down to whether or not you think a 10-8 Round is possible in battle rap. I think it can happen sparingly

Also don’t like how many ppl still think Surf won the second vs Nitty. Those reaches reminded me of his Maybach Music scheme vs Hollow. Just no good

I actually think he is good at making music and a way better musical artist. His battle shyt is half-assed and overhyped to me.
Way too many issues and one of them for me is running out of gas in the 3rd.
And I remember when I heard about him way back.
Felt the same way then. Heard him on the BET freestyle and thought he was aight.
BUT I was confused by not liking how he performs in his battles.

The rounds way of judging has always been dumb. Rex didn't beat Math. Cal didn't beat Ill. Cortez didn't beat Marv. Holla didn't beat Verb. All those battles have CLEAR winners. If you have to go into utter semantics to explain why someone else won then even you know they lost. This is performance art there's no points system.

I though Holla won both the first two rounds against Verb and STILL prefer his material in those rounds, but then Verb won the battle.
