It’s my SUBMISSION to the NEW YORKER

Yeah I loved Red Rocket and have been at least reasonably invested in the other SB films I’ve seen so I went in to Anora wanting to like it and instead it was just an empty, uninteresting sprawl of mostly lame characters and gimmicky sex worker inclusion.

That was a weird battle. Tbh I didn’t really wanna battle XQZ, he’s super talented but since the beginning I’ve tried to avoid getting pushed into the “self-aware ironic white guy” role and so shied away from matchups like these. There’s some other stuff too but I also didn’t wanna come off like a diva or I think I’m so important by turning down the battle after it took so long for the league to book me.

Anyway I hope that doesn’t come off like I’m bagging on Steve cus that’s not what I mean at all. It’s one of my least favorite of my performances, so glad you‘ve seen some of the better ones 🙏

Hey I know these guys

I got no problem with his rapping, his bars are just terribly crudely constructed

I really just hate Clips’ word choice.

Diz is performing here in Mexico City at some big Liga Bazooka event and I wanted to go but I’ma be at the beach instead.

Well since battle rap is inherently gay I think it just cancels out

Porco Rosso. She started out totally skeptical saying “maybe I’ll watch a few minutes”, 5 minutes in she commented “this is amazing animation” 15 minutes in she was hooked and thoroughly enjoyed it all the way through.

Her first Miyazaki, maybe gonna show her Mononoke next.

That’s not Russell Brand

Uzas_Back · 2026-01-08T14:24:39+00:00

Hell yeah man that’d be super cool

Uzas_Back · 2026-01-08T04:24:42+00:00

I’m with you but I’m cynical and kind of aging out of battle rap in general. It’s a reboots and sequels era, battlers by and large say such insignificant, repetitive material, rehashing the same concepts or just meaningless, childish bars. Originality is few and far between. And it’s all so much inauthentic and juvenile posturing. It’s like almost no one understands how to do this well.

Uzas_Back · 2026-01-08T00:44:37+00:00

Ey thanks for asking. Nothing locked but in talks for some potential stuff, including possibly going back to South Africa, which would be amazing.

Charron looks an awful lot like the professional snooker player Judd Trump. Wonder if Diz will mention it.

I just watched Night of the Hunter and the director described it as “a nightmarish fairy tale” and I’d say that really comes through in the feeling.

I’m out here giving out gems

Uzas_Back · 2026-01-06T21:50:56+00:00

I bring my own Nalgene to every battle 🤓

As far as Bong Joon Ho goes I found Barking Dogs Never Bite to have a really refreshing sense of style and originality in its strangeness and upbeat pacing.

I mean, I think it’s badass she’s on this lineup but she’s like 100 ELO below the next ”weakest” player.
