A Ward is like JJDD with rebuttals.
White kids love Dizaster, especially some years back. That’s essentially what he means.
You can literally say the same about Con lol hell Conceited is practically white himself.
The Geechi votes is some prisoner of the moment shyt, since we are existing in his run RIGHT NOW. There’s no reason to put Gotti in there before Roc or Clips who basically had the same run but later cooled off. At some point Geechi will cool and then it’ll be easier to look back on it with better perspective.
Putting in work is cool but y’all just want to argue quantity matters more than quality. Don’t ever confuse activity for achievement. DNA and Arsonal can have 500 battles, Lux and Mook still have had more impact with their 10-15 total battles or whatever it is.
Like Lux said to Gotti, (paraphrasing) it’s taken you 50 battles just to compare what I did with 5.
With Miles, Cal and Hollow, Lux has three of arguably the five (definitely ten) best performances of all time. Mook’s early battles set the precedent for the Smack era. DNA has had some good moments but nothing on that level. Gotti is hot right now but he hasn’t done that either.
This is fukking hilarious. Ars was getting Suge mad when he laughed at his Meek Mill pick
That's absolutely what I'm not doing tho, lol. That's why I mentioned Dre Dennis....and highlighted all the other "quality" things aside from just quantity with DNA/Roc/etc...
Yall are totally disregarding quantity/resume entirely it seems...you can't do that, the work matters...you can argue that it doesn't matter the most if you want to but it matters...along with Impact and views and all that. Being a game changer/innovator is huge...but imo you need Resume along with it to be Rushmore. Look at hip hop...let's be honest, a lot of game changers and innovators of something have been trash, lol
It's not irrelevant but it's very low. You know in how like a credit score the most important part is utilization and payment history. That would be what influence and impact would be. Amount of battles would be like age of credit. Yeah it counts, but it don't count that much. lol.
You remove the history of DNA from Battle Rap, and very little changes. Some good battles and some good moments, but nothing pivotal.

Roc's run was more impressive than the one Geechi is on imo.

Was trash.
I don't disagree with the idea of what your saying but it doesn't really work in battle rap, a sport where losers can have higher status than actual winners, an where dudes who battle once or twice a year can be more revered than consistent performers
Yeah I was initially going to say Lux and Mook, and the other two spots are vacant. However, because I like to look at Mount Rushmore guys as endgames, I had to add Hitman. He is the endgame for performers.
if you made it to the point where you’re an endgame in battle rap, you’ve accomplished enough, that’s why I just simplify it.

Unpopular Opinions About Battle Rap
Yo Bonnie said she got an app deal she was trying to give to battle rappers and nikkas said it was a pyramid scheme. I guess the app is called Bigo Live. Next event is getting hosted by Remy Ma. Has anyone heard about this?
The disrespect Dizaster gets from URL type fans is
Most people I know know nothing or next to nothing about battle rap, I was one of them like 3 years ago...but they'd recognize Dizaster, they'd recognize T-Rex, Arsonal, Mook, DNA, Hoffa, Hitman, Serius (somewhat). Maybe 1 or 2 others...maybe Con. Show them a picture/video of these guys and they can associate them with battle rap. That's like 75% of what qualifies you for Rushmore imo...who knows you? Could you arguably be the logo for battle rap? That type shyt.
The other 25% is your actual work. That's why I don't know if Mook and Lux are necessarily locks, they don't have enough accessible wreck...just a lot of allure behind what they were doing off-camera. If not for the Calicoe shyt, Lux wouldn't be mentioned/known nearly as much.
Geechi's list is on point...it's a little trapped in the early-mid 2000's-ish but most of us hold the luminaries of something in that regard. I think Tay Roc's name should be thrown in that mix at this point too. Verb too...I think he's awful now and even the old shyt I've watched wasn't impressive to me, but you can't front on what he did for the mid-west.
It’s okay to sit this one out.

Bigo Live is a very popular legit streaming app. I have no idea how a pyramid scheme would work on that app.
