Is this dude even still considered a battle rapper??
The Murdaland/Cave fight changed the trajectory of battle rap.

At the time, Cave was on top of the world. They had the most talent and the most gas. Roc was still the face of URL, Brizz was murdering dudes and was poised to be URL's next superstar, Chess was battle rap's wunderkind, Ave was right there with Nitty as URL's most coveted puncher, and Mook's status was being questioned.

Fast forward, Roc is URL's laughing stock and not a face the company would want to get behind. Brizz no longer battles. Chess, though his reputation received a boost for how he handled himself, isn't as prevalent in the grand scheme. Nobody is calling out Ave anymore, and Mook is back on top of the world and no one is questioning his status or whether he fits into the current battle rap era. And the only reason T-Top hasn't suffered as much for his shenanigans is cuz he's NWX.

It reads like a Shakespearean tragedy.

Also Blackface went from a lost n!gga to father of the year haha

We should all strive to be like Mr. Rogers.

Californ-i-a by way of BK
Goodz got some balls asking people who they think is overrated, lol.
LOL I honestly think Goodz is one of those people that wouldn't feel a way if you think he's overrated. At least, he wouldn't show it publicly. He's like the opposite of Math
