I still don’t think his peers take him as a serious threat. Maybe mid tiers and newbies do now. His contemporaries still treat him like an understudy.

Are there any top tiers that DNA clearly beat on URL? (Surf was when he was a rookie).

Here’s a better question? What top tiers didn’t bring it against him? That really is the whole point of a trap battle. These guys actually prepare for DNA.

in recent years verb brought it to him, nitty brought it to him, I mean nyggas prep for him.

Only battles off the top of my head where it seemed like nyggas just didn’t prep where NJT and Calicoe.

I feel like nyggas consistently come with weak material against Ave, Todd, Serius, and Charron.

too many nyggas tried to get at DNA’s neck for me to believe he’s not taken serious.

I’d rather B Dot give Diz that work over another Black man, but I’m all ears for that African ammo from Dot :ohlawd:

Who do you consider “trap battles?” Guys that typically get wins/debatable because their opponents aren’t scared of them and come with poor prep? It always ends up backfiring thinking that they can beat these guys with weak material.

TODD
AVE
CHARRON

Who else can we add?

Interesting. I would say Nitty did bring it, not sure if I would say Verb did. Verb is just Verb and raps that way pretty much for everyone now. It wasn’t like he went above and beyond. The funny thing is DNA doesn’t really have a lot of recent solo battles. He had Bill Collector, I thought Bill wasn’t that good. He had Danny Myers, I thought both of them were awful. Twork didn’t even write and second or third like you said. I don’t know. I feel DNA still could count in this, if Ave counts in this, because I can say the same amount of people have put up some of their better performances against him (Ill Will, T-Top, Nitty, O-Red, Geechi).
Only Math and Arsonal really slacked off the top of my head. And Math was more the stumbles than material.

We need to start having an honest conversation about Geechi. I know he’s a fan favorite and gives good battles but he has a lot of debatable battles that his fans try to pass off as clear Ws and he says a lot of basic lines or reused lines that most rappers would get killed for.

So Geechi is... Surf 2.0
