Calicoe didn't battle enough. I think he had 3 One-on-One 3 round battles and most people have Surf 30ing him.
The funny thing is they were debating Charlie Clips at around #12 and just forgot about him.
Definitely needs more structure in the future, but for the most part if picking the battle rapper of the year is the main goal then they've been successful at getting that right....I've agreed with them every year (with maybe the exception of O-Red).
You think Geechi should have won over Eazy after losing to A Ward AGAIN, at HOME home? Or the first time, for that matter, which was an embarrassing loss?

Yeah. Eazy only had 4 One-on-one battles. Which were all good and I think I had him winning all of thems, just not enough output when Geechi battles so much and is so consistent.
Geechi won that tournament, they confirmed the judges would've voted for him over Nitty. He beat Lux badly.
I think it was Geechi clear this year.

Talk!! Champion has always been corny and trash. Blac when he reviewed battles whilst looking in the mirror>>>>champion
Blac making T*ch 9 a regular on CHAMPION was one of the worst things he did.

Most will say “Tech brought entertainment.
You need an antagonist to do numbers”

My reply to that is: That’s the problem. Why do you need anybody bringing blatant bad takes to a platform that’s designed to bring credibility and structure to a culture, to cater to YOUR ignorant view of entertainment? All because y’all are addicted to nikkas yellin at eachother and bein in conflict instead of building through organized debate between knowledgeable panel members.

Entertainment would’ve been inevitable and came naturally when we factor in the outcome of well constructed critique and rankings etc to help push the artform forward.

Especially considering JayBlac

Already had the credibility.
Already had the notoriety.
Already did the numbers.

He didn’t NEED these bad takes diluting The authenticity of the artform on his platform.
Well informed credible takes would sell CHAMPION by itself because of the money incentive + the cultural value he offered on top of everything mentioned prior.

When Chris Unbias did stock drop lists they impacted the culture structure wise and they did numbers too because of the respect his knowledge commanded, same thing.

I hope Blac goes back to the drawing board with who he chooses to be panel members and trims the fat after this year’s COTY.
Not so fast.... "banging in battle rap" lmaooooooooo

Geechi is only one era, DNA was already a star in GrindTime

I like the "Gary" thing but I don't think I had Geechi winning clear vs DNA

They were both in a tournament for money and DNA took that home

DNA kept freestyling ability relevant on the Smack URL platform

Geechi loses a way higher percentage of his battles than DNA. He lost to A. Ward twice, lost to Ave, lost to Cal, lost to Verb, lost to Arsonal, got WALKED by Surf, etc.

DNA resurrected 2 on 2 battles

NWX is the blueprint for whatever Geechi is trying to do with EFB

DNA has always done better YouTube numbers

DNA has done more for battle rap growing as a whole

"DNA Tooth" has a whole career as a blogger
My nikka Wiz coming thru with receipts :wow:
Beautiful display of objectivity :salute:

So hold on, Eazy went undefeated, had classic battles, and dropped a hit battle record but somehow that wasn't enough to beat a nikka who lost at home on his own league and then got beat at Summer Madness? Battle rap media a joke.

Geechi got beat clear AGAIN, despite the gas and home game. The Lux win was overblown just like the Math battle. He was spoon fed and coddled. Eazy's 4 performances ranged from really good to epic. Zero losses. He has BOTY, and washed a Mount Rushmore legend, who rapped his best in forever.

If Eazy got the Mook battle on the Drake card he would've been COTY. He needed just a little more work.
Once they were debating A Ward at #5 it was clear that Geechi was going to win.

I have no issue with Geechi over Eazy

it’s close though

it really was if you valued the tournament + the lux win but i dont go back to any of Geechi's performances. Stay going back to Eazy's tho

And why the fukk was T-Top even in the top 20? He got washed by Eazy, lost to Jakkboy in the first round of a tournament, lost to Coffee (on the app), and had a terrible battle with Swamp. That Mike P battle wasnt enough to earn him a spot above Clips, or even Serius Jones
T-Top bumped dre dennis off due to the nikka on black compass media (not tone) arguing that "every battle T-Top was in was battle of the night". nikka called the eazy battle debatable
