I ain't realize til now that the Math vs Geechi battle/card is this week. More interested in the UM3 matchups tomorrow but of course I'm still watching.

I think this battle is gonna be fire. I've never been a Math fan outside of the classroom but I kinda liked his material against Nicky Jams and Meth, not necessarily the battles but the material itself, his pen has definitely improved a lot imo. I think Gotti's energy and lack of respect for him or his "bully" shyt is gonna make it look bad for Math tho, should be a fun watch

I know for a fact them Crack City nikkas was at SM 7 to support Rex but URL wouldn't let them in because of Math. No clue if it was by request or URL just did the logical thing.

Stupid question but is Crack City Dizaster's people? Why are they still looked at in an Aggressor fashion? They are the ones who whooped out Math and violated him, ...why are they kept out of places he's at for his safety?

If I whip on someone, the next time i see them you don't have to worry about me whippin on them again...why would I be looking for vengeance for a W I caught?

Yeah Crack City is technically Daylyt's people, they're pretty much all Grape Street Crips from Jordan Towns. But yeah, they the ones who jumped Math with Dizaster.

And I think it's more, you don't want any more unnecessary conflicts at events. Math and Aktiv was just going at it on Twitter a couple weeks ago, and Aktiv still wants to fight Math 1 on 1. So whatever issue they have, it's not over.

I'm about to try to cash out on some of these Math hate bandwagon ass nikkas. They swear up and down he's getting bodied, so I'm going to press them to bet that he doesn't get a round, when any objective person can see this could go either way. Hoe ass nikkas sound just like the Hollow dikkeaters before their hearts got broken.

I hate how when Cassidy battles these old mixtape heads come out the woodwork to tell us how being lyrical works and what real rap is like all we ever heard was battle rap. To them this means AB AB CD AB rhyme patterning. Doesn't seem to matter what they say as long as it is 4 bars of rhymes with an internal separate rhyme on the fourth bar within that same 2005 cadence. No matter how wack the bar is, as long as there is a couple multi's it's better to them.

What they are forgetting is we are those same fans from that era. We just kept up with the lyrical side of the culture while they didn't. I'm 35, that era made me a fan of this punchline rap. I totally respect it and am heavily informed on it.... but...

The cadence, patterns, and actual concepts of the punches have advanced amongst the punchline rappers to the point where that style is cringey to hear now.

These 'hug me you could catch a cold' type bars. When that's your bread and butter, you gotta come better than that. Idk if these guys know the term OBC. But if we've heard a concept executed 500 times since 2000. You are NOT going to get props for reusing it unless it's an extremely clever reimagining of the metaphor. And that's one of my main issues.

Also, the sing songey flow, it doesn't work in an acapella setting. I feel like I'm watching one of those disney cartoons where the note bounces along with the words at the bottom. Reminds me of Iron Solomons first return.

Luckily for Cass he literally battled the 3 worst pen guys of the top class. I would love to see a Twork or Rum Nitty in front of him. Give him one of the guys that took his style to outer space instead of these performance guys.

i dont understand the point of asking for rooms with no crowd. Go put on a song if thats what you want, it legitimately makes zero sense lmao.

Frozenberg had the crowd in the palm of his hand and y'all was hating hard. I liked Bigg K, but i woulda thought it was ass if it wasnt a week prep.

Cassidy is almost as bad as O-Solo, but atleast O-Solo had a classic battle rap moment.

on everything, no one in the world has ever liked showoff. How the fukk does he keep getting booked?

A couple members of Krack City are active gang members who never liked Math and Math will pretty much be on their turf. I don't feel like Diz pulled their strings, some of those guys just hate him. I always references Daylyt's performance vs Math because those dudes were looking for a reason to jump on Math.

More open space means out of towers get lined up easily. Math holds his own one on one with no problem but as far as I know he doesn't break bread or feed anyone so he can't move around comfortably when there is beef.

so you honestly don’t think there was people in that crowd tryna sabotage both hitman and cass?

I think hitman is ass and even I don’t think he deserved to get bood like that

it fukked up the battle and made nikkas boo cass in his second

I think cass woulda won clearly if it wasn’t for that bullshyt

I said it the other day cass is too polarizing to have a legitimate battle in front of a big ass crowd like that

nikkas paid $50 for nikkas to fukk up the main event that shyt is corny and why a lot of people look at y’all as weirdos

Hitman had a great first and didn't get booed. People paid fifty bucks, what kinda hater pays money to hate? They would just bootleg it after lmao. Bro cassidy is ass and so was hitman and I saw cassidy get damn near a standing ovation for a shytty master lock bar. Come on.
