I really wished Joe would have got back in boothe when they were going at it over The Slaughterhouse situation. Because Joe was right about alot of shyt that happened, imo. But he is Media Joe now so eh...I am not holdin' breathe.

Sidenote: only person I think could honestly beat Em is Royce. He knows all of Em's tricks and could flip his own style on him.

on diss tracks?

Possibly. I don't know about the acapella era on both their ends for real.
He more so went at D-12 even though him and Em were beefin' originally, right?
I mean, Royce brutal. One of my top 5 current to be real.

Acapella & Diss tracks are completely different.

Mr Fab beat Royce acapella, but Royce beat him on tracks. It’s different shyt.

You don’t really gotta be lyrically better to win a battle. Someone hard hitting and direct can beat guys like Em & Royce.

You are over-explaining something I already know, sir. But thank you for doing that.

We all know Em is too p*ssy to go at Joe, let’s be real here lol

But is he retired and just Media Joe now or do we have Mouse back in the lab? Em could have fully gone at Joe I agree. But Joe did quit rapping for real. Unless something has changed...I havent listened to the podcast in months.

Californ-i-a by way of BK
Hollow must of really lost to Danny. Danny been all over Twitter, and Hollow is yet to tweet anything about the battle.
That doesn’t mean much. People tweeting after a battle has nothing to do whether they won or lost.


interesting but not surprising Hollow said Lux came
up with all the intricate bars for their 2 on 2 battle (even the ones Hollow rapped) but Hollow came up with the gimmicks.

Swamp/Ace Amin have a big opportunity at Smack Vol.5. I haven’t seen either of these guys battle. They’re finally on a card/platform where a casual fan such as myself will take the time to see what these nyggas can do. I am expecting a fully polished product on that stage. I don’t watch nyggas on the come up. I leave that to y’all.

"Hollows whistling by" is def something Lux would've said, though I think that Hollow could've come up with that but damn, Hollow and Lux really did just combined what they did best and formed a scary team

I would agree with you but Hollow says he wanted to tour with this battle and show screenings for it. If he arguably lost and has to premiere it in different cities, I think it says something just a little bit. No "we had a classic" or "I cant wait for you all to see this". The battle went down really on his terms. I figured he might say something afterwards. So I dunno.

I had a feeling that trust fall thing was Hollow's idea and Lux added the "spice" with the bars he mentioned. Loaded Hollows...amazing team up.

Danny with the "Know Debating" series is doing the damn thing.

Well of course. Danny really cared about the shyt and Hollow was on his charity hustle shyt. Even if Hollow had 30d Danny I doubt he’d really be promoting it like that.

This would be the second battle this year where Hollow killed someone in a face off and then got blown out in the actual battle though.
