ABW's Official battle rap power ranking

[Sage Wonder]

Think less champion of the year... more like Mortal Kombat’s arcade ladder. You know you gotta fight Goro and Shao Kahn at the top to win. Whether you love them or dont care for them, those are the end game bosses.

Before anybody asks, i left brizz off this because far as we know he’s considered retired right now. If he comes back he gets a spot up there

 

[AP2.5]

Pat over geechi?

 

[GNS]

B dot?
Nah he ahead of way too many people he shouldn't be

 

[5th Letter]

Suge is too low and B Dot is too high

 

[Goldie]

I gotta think on this.

I'm still blown about Brizz. He was towards the top of the list before that bullshit AND he was killin Mook and Cal in that battle.

 

[Sage Wonder]

Suge is too low and B Dot is too high

Probably.

Can yall mothafuckas make a case, i cant reorganize this with a name and a question mark lol

Easy when was the last time B Dot battle and if he did battle recently was it anyone of consequence?

 

[Goldie]

is this where they all are ranked all time in 2020 or is this where they rank just in 2020?

Cuz it's lookin like Gotti is about to be back to back champion of the year, how is he not in the top 10?

 

[Sage Wonder]

B Dot was mr classic for a while. His flame died down with his last 3 battles which was swave, jc and oops. But he’s still dangerous and capable of those 3rd round knockouts.

Suge is good, had some nice debatable battles but when is last time you can say definitively he won? I feel like BDot is not only more impactful but more of a problem than suge.
Make your point

This aint champion of the year. This is overall where they stand on the list. Who is on top of the food chain.

 

[Goldie]

This aint champion of the year. This is overall where they stand on the list. Who is on top of the food chain.

So it's an alltime list?

Cuz champion of the year is based on performance of that year, so if he won the last two years, how isn't he top 5, let alone top 10.


Mook has one battle in the last 5 years and the people said he lost. How is he ranked that high in 2020? That's why i ask, is this an alltime list?

 

[Sage Wonder]

Like if hollow was to battle geechi. You’d probably say hollow aint been that crazy, geechi will win. But it’s still a bigger look for geechi than it is for hollow...

B magic was fire at one point but he doesnt have a status right now. Thats not a big look to battle b magic. It’s still a huge look to battle Mook. It’s not a huge look to battle Cassidy however, despite how many viewers he bring. I wouldnt call it an all time list but it’s a mix of actual performance and overall notoriety.

Who is above who in the culture as of today, if you needed to select representatives.

 

[Goldie]

Ahh, I see.

I don't see Lux, Mook, or even Hollow falling that far down. Eventhough Hollow has been trying his best to fall down the ladder.

 

[AP2.5]

i think this needs to be two different discussions

power rankings in sports are based on the year that is being played

this is like putting golden state in the top 5 because what they did prior to this season. This season, they are at the bottom where they belong

B Dot got killed by JC and left Suge been killed, had a whole state after him brushed it off and kept moving, he’s more impactful to battle rap, he has people copying his moves, more impactful moments and memorable performances than B Dot.

 

[Goldie]

I get what Sage means now, we're basing this off of current status.

Everybody should be relatively easy to rank outside of Mook and Lux, especially Mook. The nigga battles once every 5 years.

 

[Sage Wonder]

We could scrap this and just make it our version of champion of the year if yall prefer that? If thats how we gonna go then nominate your top 10 coty

 

[Goldie]

Nah i'm down to keep it like this. I think we need to put an * or something next to mook's name tho. 1 battle in 5 years is crazy.

 

[5th Letter]

I get what Sage means now, we're basing this off of current status.

If that’s the case then B Dot shouldn’t be on no lists right now.
