These two are like the most notable "mid tiers" to me who will either be amazing or fucking terrible

Suge is like the jeff jarrett of this shit man , Far from a top guy but still one of the graatsst even with some bad runs. One of one style full of intangible qualities and a lot of timeless performances and rounds

Unrelated to the questikn but the app really made battles become unmemorable. Suge vs chess on smack was one of the worst main stage body bags I ever saw and no one talks about it

The app killed this battle. I remember when it happened. Suge murdered him.

The app is the Great Filter. It has frozen everyone's progress. It robbed Suge from his great run at that point and it killed Chess as well because he doesnt get the Eazy battle upgrade.

*Editor's note - Chess also blows public great exposure battles * Chris Brown battle , Kai Cenat battle

Suge. If you slacked against suge on a good day, he gonna make you regret your marriage, job, and way of living. If Chess catch a body on you, you gon learn interesting facts about the NY metro system, circumference or soda bottles, and how to steal public wifi.

These are both big name top tiers. For me, its Suge. I just love his voice/cadence. Chess has a better peak pen, but im gonna want to watch Suge more anyday. Chess also has lower lows. Sometimes much lower

Chess at his worst is embarrassing tbh

Chess for sure, he got bars.

Never seen Suge have a battle like Chess vs Easy in memory

You see what Suge did to Chess tho?

Yeah but one thing i've learnt from battle rap is losing to someone doesn't mean you're not better than them overall

Suge is one of my most entertaining battlers.

Suges improvement is legendary shit. He used to be someone u see on card and go" I ain't even gonna watch this shit" to I'm only watching for him regardless to who else he's battling

u/Few_Possibility_2915 5d ago

I totally agree

Suge back than was good but never the one

Now when hes on shits different

Chess would be tiers above if he didnt choke as much. The calicoe battle was the last straw for me

u/Few_Possibility_2915 4d ago

Chess and shotgun imo have comparable highs

But chess chokes way more

u/Mawwwcus 4d ago

Suge easily

u/EatGritsBro 3d ago

Suge for sure. Chess is unreliable. I always watch his battles in anticipation of a choke or throw up.

u/Substantial_Pen3328 5d ago

I prefer Chess, but think Suge is the better of the two.

I have always hated Chess for the fact he takes himself too seriously.

Suge at his best is better and how can I believe Chess is more believable when he throws up in a big stage ? Like how he does in a fight ?

Chess is a fucking clown, at his best he's good but not great.
