This nikka math really act like he birthed this whole genre.

He really not as important as he thinks.
Because he doesn't suck kneecaps and stay up under Smack and Beasley's nuts. If he was content being a worker, they would probably push him as if he's right by or under Mook and Lux. Like him or not, he's a pioneer and a legend. Deal with facts and not the Math hate bandwagon.

legend :patrice: i don't know about all that
He is cortez status to me a noteworthy vet thats fallen off
I put T-Rex in that category as well
Math thinks more highly of himself than the culture does

Notable Smack DVD battles, including a classic vs. Iron solomon

Headlined the first URL card

Headlined in something approching 10 countries

Headlined on every league that matters or close

Several million view battles

Smoked a so called God tier (I don't consider Hollow God tier, but a lot do)

Media brand that transcended battle rap

Math has done a lot. And if you don't consider Rex a legend, you may need to do some research, that's WILD.

Everybody can't make the hall of fame
I would put people like Hitman and Verb above Math

Rex is a legend, stop it.
We just gonna call everybody a Legend then
I'm big on Rex but everybody can't be legends
I feel the same with the way people throw around the word classic
Too be a Legend your status has to be maintained through different eras
Thats like when people say Cassidy a legend in Rap no he is not

Legend gets thrown around, but Rex isn't one of those people where it's in question.

Math, you can argue isn't. I think he is, but you can at least debate it. Goodz is another one that people call "legend", but you can argue. Rex is a lock legend.

Why are you putting Rex over Math?

Way more classic battles, way more memorable moments, way more dominant performances, co-leader of arguably the biggest battle rap group ever

To me, Rex is innercircle HOF. Arguably top 5 all-time.
