Of a guy who couldn’t win shit in either era?

I have to say lock is the goat..too many titles..tears up in Tex and audio...he almost had a video title but I believe to stricc if I rember right..but he me a transition to live battling so he surpassed that.. he's the goat in my opinion. Flako boom..aka salt of Earth... logging out

Obviously bitch. He got in my dm's saying "you got worse" and asking for a battle. No you lil scary ass. Tired of people hiding beh8nd multis and acting tough. Super puss puss.

I think the criteria for deciding the GOAT should include those who are dope at audio, text, AND tracks. That narrows down the list pretty well because very few people were good at all 3. Even a lot of the people who could do both text and audio weren't great at tracks and they mostly did acapella audio battles where mostly punchlines matter. Riding a beat well and making something you could actually bump is something different.
Some of the names that come to mind on terms of people I did check out are Real Talk, Conceited, SWAVY, ERUPT, Ticket, Grizzeat, Swissha (Mikey Deniro) and a few others I can't think of at the moment.
Now there are people who are better than some of the names I just mentioned in audio and tracks...guys like stricc and Phil Banks, but their text battling wasn't as deep. There are also guys who are as strong (if not stronger) in both text and audio battling (guys like UNKNOWN ARTIST/YOU WISH and RULE), but their tracks didn't impress me as much. If we consider legacy and influence on LB battle culture, then these guys would definitely be there. But I think strictly speaking, the GOAT conversation should start at who has mastered all 3 (text, audio, tracks).

That’s a good point.
