My Top 5 Text All Time - Lets Beef

#1 03-11-2021, 09:45 AM

.... So far from what I’ve been reading.

Daddio
Unknown Artist
Rule
Illokwent
Reefer

No particular order, just really enjoyable to read battles from these guys.

Also, why when someone deletes their accounts their work deletes as well. Shouldn’t be that way. I see your guys hall of fame and can’t see any of the work those top dudes had. That’s shitty.

Reef is not Top 5 All-Time. Top 10? Maybe yeah, but not Top 5.

Illimit, Mayneak, Askari, Manhattan, Lockhart when he was Rieper, Row would all slice him with their eyes closed. No offense because he's a great, but not top 5. UA is overrated as hell to me, but others will say he's top 5.

I’m still reading shit and catching up so it’s subject to change, but as far as unknown artist I feel like he was ahead of his time just seeing his old shit, so have to give him some credit for that. I can’t see shit from lockhart as rieper besides the couple battles I seen from him before he deleted his account

Which vet are you? Are you in HOF?

I know it's been days but I like having these arguments so I feel I gotta respond to this.

reEFer would (and did) beat Mayneak, and was 1–0 against him.
Illimit, Askari, Manhattan and Lockhart did all beat him, and are 1–0 against him.

Row is a tough one; reEFer kept coming back through the mid-to-late 2010s and not doing well, and I'd say Row would (and possibly did) beat him in this period. But if you take reEFer at his peak, when he was 2–2 with DaDDiO, 1–1 with UA and 2–0 against RULE, plus made 2 consecutive GC finals? No way Row beats him then.

On the topic of UA, I personally consider him the GOAT (basically the only guy from the 2000s/early 2010s whose bars still hold up to today's standards); plus he was able to dominate and win tournaments under a secret multi without name recognition; and he achieved more (according to the Greatest of Champions points system) in a time period with way fewer tourneys than anyone before or since was able to do besides Bleu and Lock. He's also 3–1 vs Mayneak (who I know you rank very highly) and overall 15–9 against Text Hall of Famers.

As for someone I feel gets left out of these discussions a lot, LEFT FIELD was astonishingly dominant if you look back at his record. Dude had a 19–2 record against HOFers, including 4–0 vs Illimit, 4–0 vs reEFer, 2–0 vs Askari, 1–0 vs Real Talk and UA and 4–2 against Meta4.

a top 5 all time anything thread has always been the easiest way to kick up activity in the forums on LB since forever!

How does it mean that? Because I’m acknowledging some great text battlers? I read others work cuz I enjoy creativity. You’ve mentioned several times that you have been here long and others as well have made comments. But you seem to avoid mentioning who you are as if you’re concealing some shady shit

@GodLike lol bro I'm not concealing anything because everybody already knows who I am. You're the only one left in suspense like it's a big secret.

But I digress. Your list is decent, but I'd sub Askari and Rieper for UA and Reef.
