    First round is debatable IMO.
    Second round Roc -- but Hollow's second half of his second round was fire.
    Third round Hollow -- Roc held it down too still.

    I like Hollow's set-ups and freestyle ability more, so I give it to him 2-1. He was spitting some fire but didn't stick with the crowd. But I don't care about crowd reactions, some bars are overhyped anyways.

    I can understand if others give it to Roc 2-1 tho.

    How i'm feeling. Roc's second was ? tier. Only thing bugging me is the first, roc went a little harder but hollow was a little more entertaining... but just off the strength that roc's best bar in that round was something i heard before i feel like i have to edge it to hollow.

    This was one of Hollow weakest performances imo, there was no cohesion like his usual battles. His third was strong and had moments but I dont really ? with real talk battlerap.

    I kinda see what you are saying but I think he wanted to match Roc's intensity. Also he was searching for moments too, you can almost feel his frustration with the crowd during some parts when they don't react to bars that were fire.

    But I don't think it was one of his weakest, far from it.

    I may be jumping to conclusions might have to revisit it down the line.

    Hollow 2-1. First and third even though Hollow's second was probably his best round lyrically.

    Roc was in his feelings that 3rd round when Hollow was mentioning how he is a slave to Smack. lol

    To me the reason why i have Hollow as my GOAT is he actually writes for his opponents. The one dimensional gun bar rappers like Roc verses could be towards anybody. It has little to no personals imo and isn't catered to that specific opponent. When you listen to a dude like Hollow, Lux, Chilla,etc it sounds like they research their opponents and lyrics aren't from a cookie cutter gun line template.

    Hollow was going the ? off in that second round, probably my favorite round of the battle.

    Hollow 3-0.

    lol ay somewhere down the line i wanna rematch....

    but this battle imo had to many dry spots for a main event. Roc's consistent wit his performance I'll give him that. Imma watch it again to determine a winner,but I don't see myself revisiting this one in the future.

    This is one where the crowd came in on Roc's ? because he's been consistently out here. Hollow dropping them bombs and getting no reaction is purely, "This light skinned ? don't ? wit us like that" hating. Him getting thrown off by the crowd so much is also a sign he needed some more tuneup battles.

    Taking into consideration how the crowd did not want to get behind Hollow and seeing that they were on Roc's side. But yet Hollow still did his thing and ended up turning the crowd in his favor, this might be his best performance or at least it's up there. I think this will look much more favorably in Hollow's favor in the future as one of his signature performances.

    Tay Roc
    Close battle but Tay got the second clearly. Prolly best round of the battle. Hollow the third with the grown man angle. Roc getting in his feelings. Came down to the first, which I edged to Roc. Hollow’s performance and crowd control was rusty and it showed more in the first. Good battle nonetheless.
