Trailer for the Power 2 card in Michigan with a main event of Ill Will vs Calicoe
Sound not that great but fuck it
His whole style is predicated on breaking down extremely personal and painful things about his opponent. He also gives you lyrics but the sword is what keeps people interested. Eventually his higher ideal had to suffer. Those two things can't really coexist for more than one or two classic rounds. All his next battles should be non competitive in that sense. Come back to just rapping better than the guy you're up against.
His third against Calicoe might be the greatest round in battle rap history. His third against Clips I don't really care for. Just like Clips second round against Hollow. Battle rap is about bars, not personals. Just out rap your opponent Lux and you'll be good.
Lol Lux mad. He feels that stock dropping. lol.

I agree when y'all say Lux needs to 'get back to basics'.
And I agree with what Lux said about URL/Smack in the video.
Cuz Smack was ‘dead wrong’ for stopping his scheme right in the middle. Regardless of time limit.
If I could break it down into laymens terms...
Here’s how Lux’s rounds sound to the average URL fan:
- Schoolin’ / Schoolin’ / and more Schoolin’
But if he wants to DOMINATE this new audience.. he should mix it up when he crafts his rounds, into anything that sounds more like one of these….
- Schoolin’ / Bars / Bars
- Bars / Schoolin’ / Bars
- Bars / Bars/ Schoolin’
- Schoolin’ / Bars / Schoolin’
- Bars / Schoolin’/ ’Schoolin’
In other words…. against Midwest Miles, round after round the ‘Old Lux’ gave us…
- Bars / Bars / Bars
He didn’t try to expose ANYONE.
And that’s ALL that some of the URL fans want…. is BARS. AND MO’ BARS.
Because, we all know Lux can ‘school’ his opponents. That’s a given.
But cats also respect him because he’s one of the few emcees who CAN school someone… PLUS…. lyrically ‘jump off that top rope’ with his punchlines & suplex opponents with his metaphors - when they LEAST expect it.
He doesn’t need a 4-bar setup, to throw a haymaker.
With him… Heavy punches can land at ANY given time.
Just watch the Midwest Miles battle again to see what I’m talking about.
- While watching it, just keep asking yourself is Lux trying to EXPOSE Miles?
- Or is he just trying to BURY HIM with quotables?
- Is he using too many ‘big words’ to say something simple?
- Or do his punchlines have that ’SNAP’ to ‘em? (Because his zingers & jabs are crispy.)
Personally, if he battles again….
I think instead of trying to ’expose’ someone’s past background with personals…
Lux just needs to drop 2 or 3 rounds of that old Midwest Miles-type whupass delivery.
It’s the charisma. The wordplay. The flow. The showmanship.
That’s what got Lux his rank in these streets.
He didn’t get there by exposing anyone’s background.
Or by talking about their ‘rap sheet’.
Nor by using any gimmicks. or bringing any Props. Or wearing catchy outfits.
Because he didn’t need that stuff.
His ‘spit game’ ALONE was too much.
If he gives the fans JUST ONE BATTLE (or 2 or 3 straight rounds) of well-paced, PURE METAPHOR BOMBS… (spit slowly & concisely)… all their ‘slick talk’ about him might cease.

I have been hearing about Gjonaj but never heard him.Damn yeah that was pretty much a 3-0
Gjonaj seemed like more of a fan than opposition.
You would think going against Diz he'd be ready to give it like he got. He let Diz punk him and outbar him. And to choke on the biggest battle you've ever had? Cmon.
URL/Smack Presents: Ave vs. Nunn Nunn (PG Battle)
It's been a long while since we seen a PG battle THIS GOOD!!
SSHEEIITT!! THIS. BATTLE. IS. AN. INSTANT. CLASSIC!!
This is one of the VERY BEST ‘small room’ battles I’ve ever seen…. since JC vs Chilla Jones.
This battle had everything………. And. I. Mean. EVERYTHING.
Crazy Punchlines, Freestyles, Bars, Flips, Rebuttals, Assists, Performance, Showmanship, Crowd Reaction, Sheeiiittt… Even a Quick Fight BROKE OUT …. then we get right back to these BARS.
Everything that could happen in a battle... Seemed to happened in this one battle.
Because neither one of these emcees wanted to lose this battle. And it REALLY showed.
But imo Ave's solid punchlines just overpowered Nunnz, at the end of the day.
But Nunnz puts up one hell of a fight til the very end.
Wait For It.
Daylyt vs B Dot might be body bag of the year. Dude made Daylyt give up
Assist.
