Pretty much. It's just something to do for bored battle rap fans. We gotta be in dispute about something just to get through the day faster.
I had Ill Will but he definitely didn't get robbed. Geechi had a strong schedule. I think I would vote Will because I had Geechi losing to Surf, JJDD, Arsonal, and O-Red clear. And he might've lost to Tay Roc too.

There are too many battlers to have "unique" traits by the standard definition. I will say:

Believability - Off the charts
Emotional contact - He says shyt that hits, probably even if you aren't in that life
Projection/presence - Once he stopped looking down and got his confidence up, he started wrecking shyt
Bars - when he's on, he's VERY dangerous
:childplease:

Don't try to convince us Gotti got bars.

Cortez vs Saga was FIRE!! Def best rooftop battle of the year so far. I'm very interested in Cortez vs Nitty right now. I think tez can pull that one out. Bdot already showed nitty punches as ridiculous as they are can be beat with well structured and direct rap.

Smack announced the date for Nome 10 is July 11th.
A little premature ain't it??

July 11 aint that far away. People should start waiting for the results of all of these states opening for a few months before making these decisions. I'm probably over cautious though.

Randomly finally peeped a Real Sikh battle and yea I got some catching up to do. Trying to put a finger on who he reminds me of. He definitely reminds me of Mike P a lil bit tho.

I get that Immortal Technique feel from him. Homie different. I still think he should be careful with Jey tho.

I partially agree with this, but, now that he has a successful media platform, it's completely in his best interest to keep.talking about it if people are going to bring it up. He would get criticized if he avoided the questuons, too. Lose lose.

Yeah because fans will bring up him and Surf battling or whatever issues they have. Definitely lose lose situation.

I think Surf low key pissed that Math positioned himself where he is way more popular now and doesn't have to battle like he did before. Think about it...Surf brags about the famous people he knows. Not that long ago, Math done sat down with Royce, Budden, and that run around in that circle of the commercial game. Not like Surf does but Math did it in a way where he is gaining notice. Plus, he bodied that news segment which I know got him some new fans.

Babs was absolutely hilarious on Swave's podcast. Hopefully she steps up and stop letting Debo do all the promos.


Her rant on URL events being sausage fests is classic


I need to tune in more. Loved the clips from the China Mac episode.

There has to be a really good quote in Babs Restore Order rant. She said something about Smack having all the girls at the URL events on stage with him that would be a good one.

It's tough because he had so many more big battles than Will but I also felt like he lost some of them clearly. If their number of total battles were closer I would have preferred Will.
