I haven’t listened yet, but I think we all know Verb is a natural.

We all know this and give him shyt, because he doesn’t follow through with anything. Verb should have been a star beyond battle rap.

Word. But you see the music industry is full of cornballs, every media outlet running to battle rap at the exact same time because it's been deemed acceptable to talk about.

Verb has been talking about this, people in the industry not showing any real support. Now everyone is coming around. This isn't a slight to Joe Budden podcast but it just shows there are a lot of people in the entertainment industry that don't deserve jobs. They just wait for something to get hot, then jump on it.

Mal suggested that Verb battle Hitman.

This Rockness episode is already classic. Math talking about not getting off a bus in a bad neighborhood is hilarious because I remember that happening to me when I was going to CityPlex in Newark. I saw like mad Crips hanging outside the corner store, mind you, to get to Cityplex I had to pass them. Its a two minute walk. My nikka I walked literally all the way around the block just to avoid them lmaooo. It took me an extra 10 minutes

Sigh...I'm from london. But i can relate to this shyt lol

I peeped the Budden podcast with Verb. Entertaining podcast since the Pusha T one. Joe and Verb were dropping gems but Verb just comes off as a tried hard to me and he acts like he got a chip on his shoulder. His take battle rap Mt. Rushmore I didn't like because he said "how Mook and Lux on there when I killed then both?" So they can't be on Mt. Rushmore because he beat them? That makes no sense. And it seems he takes everything like an attack at him. He also killed me by counting 3 - 0 chants and saying the culture said I won. When for years Verb always had issues with what fans say but not it's ok because it's in his favor.

Is this your first time listening to Verb?

I'm fukking with JC's energy :ehh:
Still dont think he has the presence to beat Lux... and all that slowing it down like we didnt hear him, and saying hes the best is gonna fall flat.

I like how Verb just flat out explained why JC doesn’t land these battles. Promoters offer a lower purse for JC.

If JC moved like TODD, a guy that always had a good blend of activity and taking the right opponents, I don’t think it would be an issue.

To be fair I don't think there's to many big match ups left for roc

On top of my head I can only think:

Verb

Twork

Lux(prolly would never happen tho)

Young ill( to me it's a trash battle but the promo might make it interesting)

Maybe mook too

I poredict he will battle twork this year and either verb or young ill

Theres always opponents. ROC probably just wants the money. I mean this mufukka battled Glueasy. It looks like he wants to be on some “get money” shyt in 2020 and stay active. In order to do that, you have to step down. This is the type of shyt DNA, Shine, JC, etc do all the time. He’s probably just like f’ it let me get this money.

You got realistic battles out there like Verb, Math, Ill, NJT, and T-top. There’s respectable opponents like Danny Myers. You got someone new that always emerges out of nowhere.

Yeah Roc battling Swamp is not that big a deal. Top battlers been taking battles vs up and comers on smaller leagues since the beginning of this. It’s not an indication of Roc running out of names or on his way out.
