Patrick Beverly goes on Gilbert Arenas podcast and says he’ll put $1 Million on Rone to beat any battle rapper. Rashad McCants wants to put the money up for Aye Verb. Notice Kenyon Martin’s reaction when Rone says he’s better than Clips 😂 @rone @islandgodverb

I feel bad for NJ Twork. This isnt even funny. Hes not choking on purpose. Put that man in position to succeed and give him more time between battles. If u haven’t been in a situation where everyone is watching and u forgot your bars, it SUCKS. That anxiety hit different

Real Deal is raising his son as a single dad, lost his sister, his father is in the hospital right as he gets a call to compete for a battle rap chain. I know it was hard prepping. Writing about his pops in the 3rd with that emotion & how he ended it was a great moment for me

Yoshi G … if I may give u some advice, you have all the tools: - Wordplay - Freestyles - Rebuttals - Poise - Presence - Delivery But you need to punch at a higher rate & cater to the live audience. You will get the response u want every time. Sometimes it’s too wordy @_YoshiG

Let’s keep it a BUCK: Rum Nitty didn’t write to his full potential in the first two rounds. Chilla has his best performance ever. Every bar was crazy. Battle was over after his second round rebuttal. Rum did what he was supposed to in the 3rd - 7 haymakers. Still Chilla 3-0

I saw someone say they are tired of B. Dot talking about race and black people in all his battles. Makes no sense - you are tired of someone actually talking about relevant real-world topics, but you aren't tired of the "blicky," "squammy," and the "long nose." Pretty idiotic

Some of y’all don’t know how to judge rap battles and it shows. The non-judged era has y’all delusional. You MUST attack your opponent to win. Delivery, punches and wordplay only net u pts when used correctly. Good performing artists aren’t necessarily great battle rappers.
