Man Roc literally stood and watch his nyggas get into it, didnt ride for Brizz and swing on Cal Pops and still gets love right now smh.....Brizz will be fine lol
Is that why roc has been goin on this superthug tour since it happened :unimpressed: People obviously look at him different.

And Brizz is still worse off than Roc since he started it so i dont see how roc's situation is gonna be the same as Brizz

Not wrong. But you can't fault a guy for being hungry ya know? i feel like battle rap would be in a better place if we more people like that.

Yep. I just hope the fans and URL treat his name with more respect. Because when he quits and more of these newer acts come that don't work that hard, URL will feel it.

I agree, but I geddit. Danny grew during a time when those guys were god.

I'll take it over 2 round surf

Exactly. nikkas will cape for that bullshyt yet want to trash a man for putting in work. Smdh.

I won't lie...I am shocked that Danny and Hollow agreed to do this battle like they did. However, with all these days coming up like Black Friday and Cyber Monday....I guess they felt like since Giving Tuesday is around that same time period, they would go for it that way. And the watch vids on Ruin Your Day have gotten popular. It is a bit of disrespect to Danny to not get Hollow in a Volume setting. But at the same time, part of me thinks these are the terms Hollow wanted to set up because he apparently does this kind of thing. So I dunno. It might be a good turnout for the battle overall. Never know.
Yeah, this seems more like a Hollow idea than a Danny idea. Hollow doesn't really gain anything at all - at all - for even battling Myers, and he's into the charity shyt, so he probably just threw this shyt together for that reason. Danny isn't really in any position to turn down a Hollow battle no matter what the circumstances, but even if he wins this battle clearly he's not going to gain as much from it because of these circumstances. Especially considering that Danny will probably battle another three or four times before this battle will even get released on the app.

There's an argument that beating Lux/Hollow/Mook does absolutely nothing for someone's stock :francis: yet these nikkas still treat battles with them like that

This shyt would help Danny if it was the main event on a URL Summer Madness or NOME card, but THIS shyt? Ain't gonna do nothing for him.

And the mystique of these guys has pretty much faded away at this point.

Yea at most maybe he could argue for is a slightly bigger bag but i find it hilarious that that's as far as the average battler thinks ahead about their career

False. If he demolishes Hollow, no matter where, he might end up with 10 racks for Champion Of The Year, despite choking and getting 30d. Math is the only other person with a legit claim to a clear win over a upper top/GOAT contender tier, when he killed Hollow. Unless I'm forgetting something. It would make the argument a lot easier.

Nobody except the people there are gonna even be able to see the battle this calendar year so how is it gonna help his Champion of the Year campaign?

If the consensus is that he won, it will be known, and he will politic with it. The venue is whatever, but beating Hollow counts. No way around it. 30ing a GOAT contender will be news as long as ANYONE sees it.

Well Hollow got his own businesses that intersects with battle rap so why not get a charity gig poppin'. Write off the donation and etc. Who know...Danny is probably on that shyt too. Plus, Aye Verb said something interesting...he mentioned when he was working out the Lux that he had to work with the terms he was gonna battle on. This sounds like the same shyt when your stock or status is obviously higher.

Yea at most maybe he could argue for is a slightly bigger bag but i find it hilarious that that's as far as the average battler thinks ahead about their career

For Danny, he deserves to have that leverage. I hope he does it and pisses off Norbes who low key hates on Myers anyway. Lol. An example of hard work in battle rap where the bullshyt politics are out the window for the talent...I feel needs to be rewarded.

It is Danny's biggest battle to date aside from Chess, Dizaster, and T-Rex. It will be a factor because he has gotten mentioned as being a candidate for Champion Of The Year at least amonst the bloggers who have decided the champion before in a conference. Danny's stock rose but he is also under a microscope as far as having the kind of year he is having.

Beating Lux/Hollow/Mook will ALWAYS matter, even if they're not in their primes. The work they've put in earns them that.

nikkas still be clamoring to battle Rex and he's been horrible and unprofessional for years now. Certain names hold weight in the battle rap community, even if they don't hold that weight with fans.
