Todd is an interesting battler. He’s the one top tier guy that I really don’t think is good, at all. It’s a completely different case then let’s say Hollow (for me). Hollow has never been my cup of tea, but I’ve always recognized that he is a great battler. With Todd, I just don’t view him as a good rapper.
It’s pretty crazy, because logically, you just can’t be complete trash to reach the top tier level. However, I really feel he accomplished it just based on consistency and the way he selects his opponents.
He’s a professional that comes with three rounds. He doesn’t choke, stumble, and he’s reliable. He’s not on a higher level because there is nothing dynamic about it. He doesn’t say anything too crazy or memorable. He has gotten better over the years though. However, he’s probably the least talented top tier guy.
He does not strike fear into his opponents. As a result, nearly all his battles turn out to be terrible. Todd does his typical mediocre to garbage rounds. He gets the worst version of his opponent. This results into shytty battles. The funny thing about it is that a lot of these battles still turn out to be debatables. He clearly beats the young guys though.
Here’s the thing the though. He always loses when guys decide to take him serious. K-Shine, NJT, & Ored got him out of there pretty easily. I thought Hitman beat him as well, but I’m not gonna act like that isn’t a debatable battle. That is still by far Todd’s best performance.
Todd maybe has two moments in his career. The way he stepped up at SM 2 (rapping like Hitman btw) and throwing Jakkboys chain into the crowd.
I applaud him for getting as far as he has. He’s still the ultimate trap battle. If Surf actually battled this nygga, is he gonna come for his neck like he did Geechi? Or Is he just gonna come with two rounds and fukk around with the third, which is the most likely scenario?

Agreed. TODD like DNA to me have benefitted from the Smack/Beasley stimulus but have also been very professional in their careers..
Still cant name 5 haymakers between the two of them..
I mean TODD beat tay roc in his peak and noone cared.

DNA is waaaay better then Todd. I understand why Nyggas hate DNA, but these guys aren’t on the same level.
DNA has produced way more entertaining battles whether he wins or losses

Chess wasn't on attack mode. He kills his own momentum with all the extra talking and chatter between every bar. I thought jc once had that issue bad but chess has it really bad. If chess stayed on the offense attacking he might would have gotten the crowd back. But it seems he really gets frustrated when the crowd is not catching his material. Frustration kills you with the crowd.

I hate to be the one to stir the pot....
But can some one inform me when surf went from mr debatable to a killer? I missed the memo
The stream froze during the Ro/Prep battle, but you could still hear the audio. I can’t really judge it, because both guys sounded unprepared.
I preferred what Ro was doing, although Prep was getting the more reaction in that room.
The criticism of Ro in the chat is that he needs to rap with more conviction, and its fair to say that’s valid.

Hollow can come back and still be great but he wont ever be looked at the same and is gonna have to switch up some shyt. Not too dissimilar from what Calicoe did to Pat Stay, forcing him to become 100% joke rapper and leave all the tough bars out of his rounds.
Surt has debatables against great battlers though. People don't think TODD is that.
When he had the debatable with Geechi.

Superstar
Surf couldn't even kill off Reed, but I'm supposed to believe he would "body" TODD?
Yea......nah
