When the time comes for that discussion, it'll be alot easier to debate Geechi over one of those names than a Lux, Verb, etc

That nikka aint slick lol

I think Geechi respects their activity throughout the years. Diz, Ars,& DNA have a lot of battles. Geechi’s career is headed in that same way.

Hitman is the exception in that list.

You can make a case for Diz though. I forget nikkas dont really fukk with Diz. Hes the most influential out of those named by far. Ushered a whole way of rapping (alongside Pete and Viewtiful Joe... I mean Greg). Cant say much about the other 3 aside from just being really popular...

Id say out of all the possible Mt Rushmore candidates Verb is the only one who has a for sure. You have to say that nikka.
Lux is the closest thing to a shoe in for Mt. Rushmore, especially if we are modeling it after the ACTUAL Mt. Rushmore.

He’s a shoe in to me too, I just didn’t wanna go down THAT road of arguing on Mook’s side in TBZ lol.

I got Mook, Lux, and Rex, and then the last spot can be argued amongst maybe 10 battlers.
I get u on the not arguing for Mook part. It could be argued he lost most of those Smack DVD battles.

But on Pioneer status alone, he should be the "shoe-in"

Hitman is so far on the other end of the spectrum from those others that I can't even buy activity being the "standard", unless he's changing the rules as he went along

Can’t have Diz and Verb on there without having Rex, unless we’re just some include different areas/demographics shyt.

Clips, Hollow, Math, Pat Stay (if we including Diz), Hitman, Surf, Con, Ars, Serius Jones, Tay Roc in a way, if i wanna reach Solomon or Thesaurus, all probably have SOME claim to get on the list. Probably left a couple off too.

Not even trolling, what gives Diz a slot over someone like ars, Rex, or even conceited. Con is the first battler I ever saw legit transition to tv.

@MicIsGod Going mainstream aint a good reason to put Con over someone like Diz. Diz paid FAR more dues that Con (and alot of other nikkas yall mentioned for that matter). To put that on the back burner for something as superficial as stardom is blasphemous..

I personally view Mt Rushmore guys as the end game. These are the final bosses. You battle to get to these guys. That’s why for me, it’s Mook, Lux, and Hitman. The other spot is vacant.

I like Goodz a lot. He carries himself like a final boss, but the fans don’t really gravitate to him for me to ever consider him Mount Rushmore. He’s just as effective as a battler as the other 3 guys listed.

Now you could arguably put Verb on there, because despite his fukk ups, guys really want to battle him. If not for those 3 terrible showings against Cal, Roc, & Hustle, I’d probably add him in there.

Hollow was an end game type of guy but he really cooled off. Battlers don’t even call him out anymore.

If Rex took the game seriously, he would easily be the endgame for nyggas in his lane.

Con has always been the endgame for punchers. I just don’t think he’s good enough battler to be on a Mount Rushmore.

Diz is probably the end game for the kotd side of battle rap. I’m not mad at anyone that puts him on their list.

The tv spot light added more eyes to battle rap than anything diz has done. Maybe I’m missing something. He wasn’t the only grindtime battler that made noise. I guess the canibus battle? I’m genuinely curious.

Yea nikka some screws.. HAHAHAHAH jkjkjk

Im not disputing Con putting more eyes on it. Thats not what Im talking about. Im talking about groundwork. Diz has done more for battlerap with his hands the Con has...

Now keep on and Imma have my young nikkas slap that kufi straight off ya fukkin head
