I disagree with the red part.
I'm not even a big Pat Stay fan... but Pat Stay CLEARLY won that battle, imo.
The wild part is...
Aside form his battle vs Loaded Lux..... I usually like Calicoe's whole style / delivery.
But Calicoe was forced to resort to 'bully tactics' because he was too drunk/high and kept repeating some of his wackest bars.... or just plain FORGOT his writtens. (Especially in the 3rd round
)
Pat Stay's WHOLE 1st round about thugs 'snitching' on themselves was the (early) KNOCKOUT.
Because that pretty much summed up Calicoe's entire approach to THIS battle... and every battle he is in nowadays
Pat won rounds 1 & 2.
Third round was a complete waste.... for BOTH emcees.
They coulda stopped the footage after round 2 and the outcome is the same.
Nowadays, the WHOLE problem with Calicoe is....
LONG BEFORE he battled Lux... if you watch Calico's early Battles like...
- Calico vs Young Ill
- Calico vs Nuborn
- Calico vs Math Hoffa
- Calico vs K-Shine
- Calico vs Arsonal
- Calico vs O-Red
- Calico vs Shotgun Suge
- Calico vs Metta
- Calico vs Heartless
- Calico vs B-Silva
- and all the rest
He was REAL HUNGRY.... and 'on his shit' lyrically.
Spitting punchlines & bars.. for the love of the game.
back then, he was 'more focused' on trying to be 'the king of the hill' on Smack.
BUT ever since Calico got SMOKED REAL BADLY by Lux...
.. now he's been on this whole...
'I don't really care about Battle Rap ... I'm just here for a check"-type of bullshit.
Now every battle
'don't mean shit' no more.
C'mon Son.
Let me get this right...
The battles meant
'something' to Calico before he LOST BADLY....
But now that he 'took a crazy L'...... all this battle rap shit.... 'don't matter no more', huh? And he just want to 'make paper', huh?
GTFOH.
See, instead of going into 'hiding' for a year or so.... he shoulda just 'took notes' about 'rebounding properly'.... from Tay Rock.
One bad loss... should not have FORCED him to adopt this whole new (I'm so apathetic toward battle rap & I'm too busy flossin' to even care about these battle rap nuccas anymore) type of image.
He shoulda stayed consistent. Like Tay Rock did.
Just keep battling.
Shake that shit off.
And the fans will stick with him.
For example:
Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson took SO MANY 'crazy losses' in that Wrestling ring. (and even left the Sport for YEARS to make Blockbuster movies) ....
but each & every time whenever The Rock steps BACK into the 'squared circle'.... he NEVER has some 'apathetic' attitude towards Wrestling.
When he's in the ring, he NEVER 'gives zero fucks' about JUST BEING THERE.
(Regardless of his opponent.)
He never fronts like he's.... 'more concerned with making money some other way'... than wrestling.
He's ALWAYS hungry to win that Heavyweight Title. Win. Lose. or Draw.
He laces his boots... gets in the ring.. AND PUTS IN WORK.
And gives it EVERYTHING HE GOT.
And if he's in 'the entertainment game'..... that's what Calico should be doing also imo.
Whenever Tay Rock is in the ring... He is a battle rapper. Period.
He doesn't try to be anything else.
Whenever Charlie Clips is in the ring... He is a battle rapper. Period.
He doesn't try to be anything else.
Whenever The Rock is in the ring... He is a wrestler. Period.
He doesn't try to be anything else.
But ever since he lost to Lux.... Whenever Calico gets in the ring nowadays... He doesn't seem to fully 'embrace' being a battle rapper like he used to.
Instead, he on some.... 'very aggressive but very disinterested' bullshit. (Which is why he loses. Or has 'debatables' with sub-par opponents.
Or just gives mediocre performances.)
He's not body-bagging nobody these days with that... 'I'm too much of a BIG BALLER to even be here battle-rapping, because every single battle Im in.... just don't mean shit to me'... type attitude.
If battle rapping don't matter to him no more... Why even step in the ring?
Go get money, pop bottles, make music & just hustle... But stay out the ring.
And leave the 'battle rapp-ING'.... to the 'battle rapp-ERS'.
