Lux honestly doesn’t even strike me as someone who is super into battling anymore in general, but the bags they’re getting are too big to pass up and it’s not as though his music career is gonna take off at this point to make up for it. He needs to go ahead and take that Harlem hotep hustling space that Polight left open.

All Lux has to do is punch more and sooner, that's it 
that would work no matter what kind of content he's spittin, be it conscious shyt or gun bars

"Neither one of us took JC 
we got that in common"
man JC did some danny myers shyt walking up to that table

JC literally looked bad against Twork/Illmac who we noted informed Lux's decision, also in front of a super regular Yung Ill when he first had a chance to take the leap. He was aware of his situation in both instances and dropped the ball. wouldn't brand protection fall under paying attention? he wasnt protecting his brand with the slow flow either. When you "pay attention" you adjust your bad habits like...opening your eyes when you rap, or...stepping up to the challenge to rebuttal to the point where you're one of the top rebuttalers now, that's the separating factor between them for me, and yea like you said even being aware of which battles are make or break for you, Julian failed on all accounts bro, idk maybe im being a bit tough about it but it is what it is
arsonal is spitting filler and losing is why people don't wanna see himno one would have a problem seeing Ars if he was giving us dope rounds
Tay Roc throws a wrench in your argument too, another guy who just treats this shyt with respect like a job and it worked. I can't make excuses for the rest of these nikkas spitting filler when we already know the majority of em are writing their rounds right before the events anyways man, we seen too many of these guys make the same mistakes to make excuses for it. Roc can have a clear lost but still do enough to make people wanna see more, i think all of them have the talent to do that they just don't
Jc didn't look bad in those battles, they were just clear loses, but he put on.
Ars always spit filler lol, he lost his stock from oversaturating himself. Clips did at a point as well. But the Wild N Out, plus his lack of appearances of late have helped build him back up as a name that means something when he battles again
Tay Roc was the first Geechi. URL put the rocket on his shoulders and let him carry the league for a good 3-4 years. Geechi was just the replacement. It was supposed to be Twork, but Twork kept fukking up. Before Twork, it was supposed to be Ave.

I've always felt like it was supposed to be Brizz up next, but then the fight happened.
The funny thing is, Lux could've easily won this Geechi battle by taking angles, and he never did. It was scattered. For this battle he didn't even need to change his styleAll Lux has to do is punch more and sooner, that's it
First round stay the same
Second round get into how Geechi only has a resume because he beat all the people Lux brought into the culture, how he is the reason battle rap is where it's at now, talk about the work he put in to put Smack and the URL in this position, the Lionz Den.
Third round get into Crip shyt, and instead of demonizing them, explain to Geechi why he even turned Crip, explain how the white man has made them lose the essence of what the gang was built for, how they came from the Panthers, explain the impact of them worldwide.
Simple. It would've went crazy if he did it right. Lux usually has strong angles, but this battle he didn't and that's what hurt him. He could've easily won this battle in a layup, because Geechi wasn't that crazy outside of his second round.
I think Brizz was just killing shyt and became one of the top guys organically, but URL never put the whole company behind him like they did Roc, Twork and Geechi imo, or even Ave to a lesser extent.
To me, Roc was kind of an organic come up as well, but the difference to me is URL made a conscious decision to make Roc the face after a while. With Brizz, I never felt like URL pushed the button for him. He just kept winning and ended up in that slot.
