3rd round is racist, don't ask me why. No white man should be able to do a black man like this, fukk that.

So I’m the only one who has Chess (clear) for COTY? Ok then

Nah. Hollow is definitely not at the level he’s at without the Lux battle. He’s still a legend but he’s not in that GOAT/Mt Rushmore convo that he’s in after he battled Loaded (a lot of people don’t have him there anymore

This is cap, he was certified from his GT days alone. TBZ loves revisionism

Nah he was for sure solidified but I don’t recall Mount Rushmore talk pre Lux battle. Definitely not on the Smack/URL side of the fan base

Nah that Lux battle def elevated Hollow, and it's because he was able to bring Lux back down to earth after Calicoe battle in a classic battle. Before that nobody wanted smoke with beloved after SM2. Lux called out Hollow at that janky Vlad TV battle rap event and the rest was history.

Who that dark skin shorty next to snack on hollow vs shine... She be at mad battles... Thick as fukk...

I don’t think anyone battling Lux added to their status
Lux not battling up and comers your status solidified if you getting that battle
I can’t think of no one I feel like status evaluated from battling lux

Tsu surf won the hollow battle but hollow was good in the battle
Watching now Hollow material aged better

There’s no way you lived through the shyt and think Hollow’s status didn’t elevate from that Lux battle.

I think y’all aren’t comprehending. He wouldn’t have been battling Lux in the first place if he wasn’t certified. I just said Hollow’s rep took another leap after he showed so well in that battle, especially since so many people had him winning.

Mook only battled Lux again coz Hollow dented him.. Whole battle culture was shook post SM2.

Hell 10 years ago Hollow headlined against Hitman at SM1 showing you who was the top dog.. Lux was ducking HIM.

Calicoe was talkin so filthy about Lux and Mook (Shine, Math & Ars battles) he had to come outside..

 

[mvp_status]

Fans thought he lost in the moment but Surf has enough haters/Hollow has enough fans that it became “debatable”

 

[Diyhai]

There’s no way you lived through the shyt and think Hollow’s status didn’t elevate from that Lux battle.

I did live thru it and it didn’t elevate Hollow to me
he was already at that level that’s why he got the battle
To me that like saying Geechi Verb Rex Clips and Ars went to another level cuz they battled Lux
No they was already solidified with or without that battle
Hitman is Hitman without a Lux battle

I’m talking about general consensus, not your personal feelings.

Not sure how those other battles you’re talking about are even relevant in this discussion. It’s nothing like saying they went to another level. Hollow didn’t just reach another level because he battled Lux, it’s because of how he performed against a Lux coming off of the biggest performance in battle rap to that day.

And once again, nobody said Hollow wasn’t solidified beforehand. LeBron was solidified before winning a title, but winning titles is what put him in the true GOAT convo.
