It's kinda wild how fast battle rap narratives switch. Fans are saying Murda Mook, who is considered the GOAT to a lot of people, has no chance against Eazy Da Block Captain. Someone who at this time last year wasn't even in regular URL rotation. That's wild.

after seeing how mook was in 2021 between double impact and sm11, is it THAT farfetched?

compared to Eazy who hasn't dropped the ball yet, and his only real stain is a judged loss against UM1 Champ Fonz which is super debatable and was probably a top 10 BOTY last year too

Mook's last battle barely beating real name brandon vs mvp in terms of reactions on the app right now. narratives switched, sure but we not gonna act like Mook aint contribute to that since that verb L. Fans aint switch up on him for no reason.

Mook battling EZ is just smart business. Same with Lux battling Geechi. I believe both guys are aware that they need an entertaining battle & they are battling guys that can provide that.

counterargument: since it's a small room, he just can't get boo'd.

closed casket is the arrangement
Counter argument in a closed room Mook is actually still elite and Eazy is in trouble. Mook best two battles over the last five years (vs Hyms and vs Roc) have been in small rooms.

Mook and Lux only took these battles for the bag. This got horrible written all over this.

Maybe lux and geechi can be at least entertaining but their match makes no sense. Mook did so horrible his last battle it had driven his stock so low that eazy da block captain looks like he about to run through Mook. Which btw chess deserves that look before eazy but I digress

The potential for this card to be some trash is there. We have been here before been hyped for the battles to go down and it turns into a complete shytshow. I hate to say we shall see....but that's where we are at now. Just hopefully it's better than that Super Pillow Fight from last night.

Fans are extremely fickle in battle rap. Literally takes 1 performance negative or positive for them to overreact. If Mook clears Eazy 3-0, people will act like the Chess battle didn't happen. This culture is very "what did you just do" and judge you only on that.
