![]() It might not even be their fault, all of Hollow's best material was in the one rounder that took place in the UK, and Pat Stay was clearly fed up with the whole situation he got forced into and he ended up using bits of all of his rounds in that one rounder just to please the crowd. This is one of those endgame matchups we have all envisioned would be a classic for years and, while it had it's moments, it was ultimately disappointing and nobody is really talking about it. Honourable Mentions: Tech 9, Yung Ill, Bill Collector, E-Nessīiggest Disappointment - Hollow Da Don vs. Iron already has too, but the fact that he can come back and do as well as he did is impressive and shits on most comebacks. ![]() Those are 3 MCs from 3 different eras that have independently earned their place in the history books. Even though Iron Solomon technically came back at the end of 2015, if I gave Ave the slide, I gotta give it to Iron Solomon too, who showed he could hang with Clips, Dizaster, and B Magic. Then the next thing you know, the pound behind his head like the Scorpion stance I'm peeling out of both like Morpheus' hands Razor across the head like you're 21 Savage Let any chump have it - semis, snubs, 'matics Serial (cereal) smacking his face like he's riding with Queenzflip Understand, I'm strapped and fat, on both sides, n***a, I LOVE handles IF I SHOW OUT, SMACK GON' HAVE TO CUT THE SHOW OFFģ0 under the 40, that's an improper fraction WHICH ONE OF YOU N***AS WANNA BE A SHOWOUT? OR A SHOWOFF? I'll leave a tool sittin' where ya tooth missin', That's how I Bridge the Gap Tell them The Bridge is Over, they gon' say "Brizz did that" Head shot ya mom's sister, they gon' have to M.O.P. If I'm with the piece, you're family's fucked ![]() Honourable Mentions: Tone Montana against Dre Dennis, Both Ave and Rum Nitty in their battle together, Marvwon/Quest McCody's 2-on-2, ![]() One of the best rounds ever IMO, and I wouldn't just throw that kind of praise around. Performance of the Year - Tsu Surf & Tay Roc's first round against DNA & K-Shine Seriously, this year was great for stuff like this. Daylyt, Chilla clowning Th3 Saga's porn addiction, Math's Milly Rock. Lottazay, Prep saying he's not going back to where Rich Dolarz is at, Rum Nitty's nose-running scheme, Brizz & T-Top's Goldeneye shit, Mike P's multi-of-the-year in his 3rd vs. Steams/Chess, Prep's ridiculous number of freestyles in his 3rd vs. Honourable mentions: DNA & K-Shine's flip of this same moment, Marvwon/Quest's First 48 sequence vs. I bring a bitch with bald heads (Britney)Ĭould put it on the house (This shit smoking like a chimney)Įntry wound like a dime, (Exit wound like a Frisbee)ġ00-round drum makes the shooting shit easy (Big T's fingers after lunch, do ‘em greasy) Honestly, the MASSIVE increase in momentum leading up to a huge payoff is something you don't see often, and it is as glorious and rewatchable as it gets. Moment of the Year - This whole sequence of Tsu Surf (and Tay Roc) going bananas on DNA & K-Shine. My runners up would be Loso (came out of nowhere, had several great showings against names, and is different), B.Dot (two great performances, one that went viral, everyone wants to battle him, definitely right there with Ave as far as the most talked about MCs this year), and maaaaaaaybe PC. Without exaggeration, close to half of all of the hardest bars this year are from Ave's rounds. ![]() How fast he has risen and the consistently great performances he's had put him there and nobody comes close. His two PGs were technically in 2015, and last year I even (hilariously in retrospect) said he wouldn't get far, but if Ave feels like a 2016 sensation and if counts he's unequivocally the rookie of the year. There are a lot of good contenders for this all for different reasons that I wouldnt't be mad at: Ave, Cortez, Thesaurus, JC, Gjonaj, Iron Solomon, Rum Nitty, QP (from what I hear). Getting shots at and either having a debatable or outright beating Math Hoffa & Tsu Surf in addition to embarassing Magic/Chilla and Arsonal/Suge. He's been having a year most MCs dream of. For me, T-Top's year has signified a changing of the guards. Overall, while I feel like there a TON of exceptional performances or moments this year, as far as overall great, all-around rewatchable rap battles goes, there weren't as many as last year or other years. I've also missed quite a few battles this year, namely from people like QP, JC, DNA, A.Ward, Carter Deems, Head I.C.E., Real Deal, Soul, Raptor, and Xcel. Last year when I did this, I went back, rewatched everything again and put a lot of effort into ordering things but I don't have that kind of time anymore so this is mostly based off of reading my own posts in this thread over the year and I'm only really solid about the top 4 TBH. ![]()
