2010? M Rock wasn't even really known until he smashed that topical tournament which was a few years later. It's funny. I remember I heard his first round and was like "Who the fuck is this guy? Anyone know him?" Few people said he was dope but didn't know um so I was like "Probably won't but ima try and get him in ACs". Rock was cool with BORO, either a GC champ or a HOFer, can't remember, and wanted him with him. ACs didn't really work like that, recruiting big guys, so I was like "Ehhhh, you know what, sure, I guess".
Next thing dude smashes the topical tournament, kills it in battles, makes some of the best ever diss tracks the sites ever seen (I legit listen to the three disses on MM/LoD frequently). I take a lot of credit for a lot of guys, but what the fuck credit do I have with Rock? haha. I happened to catch him at the right time, and dude turned out to be one of the best crew reppers I'd seen in the 10 years on the site, dude smashes it with an actual art form and won us Illmania in some of the hardest imaginable battles.
Shame Rock was at a later part of the site. If he joined in 2007 this place would be called LetsMRock by now haha. But in his span, he was lucky to have guys like Banks as competition because someone rising up now doesn't have that kind of opponents. Rock came through and beat them all, and will probably be the last legit HOFer in audio.
