i went to it b/c Tay was saying he used that battle as motivation for day. I dont think i had ever seen it in its entirety outside of clips here and there
That's cuz it was Lyt's only URL battle.
Day half assed the battle outside the 3rd imo, cuz Smack gave him a rookie.
I noticed a few years ago that there's a large portion of "battle rap fans" who only watch URL. That's the main reason Lyt isn't in more Goat conversations. That changed last night tho.
It's like a nigga who only plays in the Rucker and kicks all the NBA allstar's ass every summer but never gets recognition cuz he never played in the NBA and then Smack (NBA) brings him on and sends him to the D League.
That's why Lyt's "How many PG's have I passed on? 13 cuz that's kid shit" bar hit so hard.
The conversation that happened after the battle was a big moment in battle rap history. Daylyt is the only black battle rapper to become a star without URL. He's been the face of the leagues viewed as Smack's competition for 10 years now.
He was the face of KOTD , he left, then KOTD fell off, he went to RBE and now RBE is the shit. So for Lyt to say "This is the only league that matters" was big, that's why Smack reacted the way he did.
But yea, there's way better Daylyt battles.
