Honestly, after watching the battle and this interview, and finding out everything Are did, kinda makes me not respect him at least as a battler.

Within the first 5 minutes, he's talking about taking Cassidy's dressing room and when envy mentions him grabbing Cassidy, he says Cass could've ended the battle (like fight or some shyt). I just can't respect that, it seems like Arsonal went in there intentionally trying to fukk up the battle, SMH.

Where was this energy in Detroit?

I think it's worth repeating how DIFFERENT battle rap and musical rap are.

I think about this every time I hear Goodz rap. I love to hear Goodz battle but dude has zero rhythm. He is never in the pocket of a beat. He has no bop. That said, he has enough to say that if he worked on his overall musicality (ear for beats, flow/verbal syncopation) he would be a nice NY revivalist. Lux is one of the few who can successfully play in both arenas but even his battles get too lyrical miracle.

correct, it’s two different lanes

lol at Goodz. He’s good at battling and cyphers, but the music is usually terrible.

I think surf and verb do the best job. If you like them as battlers, there’s a high chance you’ll like their music. Some of these other guys, you’ll listen to them battle, and their music is the complete opposite.

Jaz still hasn't gone thru a heavy gauntlet and cherry picks battles. lol.
i don't think she wants it with Fit. she is definitely not 40.

There's not enough girls on her level for her to go through a gauntlet. Jaz went against everyone during the height of their career. People really forget EVERYONE had QB killing her when that battle was first announced.

I have Jaz with a clear 2-1 against Fit.

Idk...Fit has been after her for mad long. Probably sitting on some heat. I think she also knows she has to kill her, or she will get hated on. She has to after battling O.

I think is cool but I feel like she got protected way more than most of those girls.
I got Fit 2-1. I don't think she'll do her as bad as O'fficial did.
Now, don't get me wrong...I did have her beating Hustle.
But my thing is...Jaz sits out for waaaaaay too long then comes back. She doesn't come back rusty but I don't agree with moving like that.
She doesn't need to battle Swimming Suit Sam or whoever but it'd be cool if she was more active.
