Battle Rapper vs Recording Artist

In general, battlers tend to come with underwhelming material in these type of battles. From Hollow, to head ice, to dizaster, to ored, I mean the list goes on. These type of battles never really produce good battles.

I do think Math vs Jag was decent, but that was an exception.

What’s next for Chubby Jag?

In true RBE fashion, probably someone like Ill Will or Bigg K. I can maybe see someone like Head Ice too.

Im sure someone will say Suge, but Suge is pretty active and seems to be all the in at the url.

A lot of these dudes just ain’t as outer worldly as y’all hype them up to be lol

y’all live in this battle rap bubble and don’t realize it

nikkas have their moments don’t get me wrong but I never bought into that notion that no one can do what these dudes do

It's not that nobody can do what battlers do, it's that it takes a minute to adjust to the format of current battle rap. Like anything else, you have to do it often to get the feel. That's why even if Cassidy and Jag don't die, they still look very amateurish in their delivery, performance, and way they set up their material. Jag is a little bit closer to modern day battle rap in how he sets up his lines, but he's still more of a beginner. Cassidy does not sound right in current day battle rap format.

Because they're "industry" rappers, they will face battlers with big names rather than battlers that are actually the most talented. Ars, Goodz, Math and Hitman are not known for having elite lyricism, and they also battle infrequently they're even a little bit outdated in modern battle rap terms. Red is the only one that would be considered an "elite" pen, but Red is also known for being very hit or miss most of his career. And mostly miss when he's put in a big situation.

Cassidy and Jag can survive against those types, because even though they have certain nuances to their styles, and a better grasp of what's happening now, they're still not what people would currently consider "elite" outside of their names.

Jae Millz came back against a 60% K-Shine and died very badly.

Bigg K vs Jag makes a lot of sense.

I still don't understand who was in his camp and said this was a good idea as his first battle back.

Cass would've died against some one like t top or nitty. Hell the likes of jey or real sihk would've bodied him. Hitman was just not it

ok but los came back and in his first battle looked mad comfortable and I thought he was fire and dragged ice

some of y’all said he wasn’t that good he just faced a bad head ice and there was only 80 people in the room

seems like y’all don’t like to give credit where credit is due when it comes to “outsiders”

and a lot of shyt is just preference because I thought joe Budden did HORRIBLE but I think I seen some of y’all (brc) say he did ok lol

Los did good, he took on a another guy (Head Ice) who falls under the category of the others.

It’s not about not giving credit, it’s just that they weren’t great. Not dying in a battle shouldn’t be rewarded lol. Cassidy is still 0-3 in his battles after Diz. He might’ve won 2 out of the 9 rounds if we’re being generous. That’s really bad. And the guys he’s battling are not even having good performances. That’s not good. So when we say “None of y’all are killing Cassidy”, you shouldn’t take that as a compliment to Cassidy. It’s actually an insult. Lol.

If you have to pick a winner between cass and hitman when they both did so called bad then of course you’re gonna pick hitman lol

whether you admit it or not these battle rappers are your home team so when it’s a toss up you gonna side with the home team

but in reality when you look at the comments online A LOT of people say cass beat goodz and a lot of people are saying he beat hitman

Bro you know damn well that when it’s “industry” vs “battle rapper” we not gonna get fair judgment from most of the brc

Not too long ago you even admitted (finally) that battle rappers be hating on the legends that don’t battle often

y’all perception is skewed man it is what it is

Actually, that isn't true. If two battlers do bad, I still pick the one who did better. O-Red is actually one of my favorite battlers, he clearly lost to Jag. And I'm not a Jag fan at all really. And that's a battle that technically could be debated. But I went with who I honestly felt did better.

Cassidy has a lot of fans, of course there are ones who are gonna say he won. Literally every battle that happens there are fans that go against the consensus, it's even more when you add in someone of Cassidy's stature. You only really engage on here when Cassidy battles, you're a fan and that's cool. But if you really followed the culture, you would know a lot of people saying someone won, that clearly lost, isn't all that foreign to battle rap. It happens damn near every battle.

Battlers hating on legends, doesn't really fit in with this, imo.
