Chilla Jones and JJDD appreciation thread

**RandallFlagg** · 11-29-2019, 07:25 AM

Chilla and John John are really the best part about battle rap right now. A good number of these new battlers could learn a thing or two from these legends.

Glad grind time is over and all the cosplay thesaurus multi battlers died out so lyricism could evolve thanks to chilla.

What are your favorite chilla schemes amd bars?

Jokes aside Smack does need to release that throwing the chain in the crowd footage. It's a classic moment in hip-hop that he for some reason had vaulted

The battle’s been on the app for awhile now (but URL is slow to release battles on YouTube), however the chain throwing has been up as a DailySpice for a couple months now.

They're both awful in different ways

I understand why you'd think that. Chillas schemes used to go over my head too. Peep the body language

**peace** · 11-30-2019, 02:53 AM

it's an unpopular opinion but randall's only half wrong.

chilla's top 5 this year imo. became champion, got robbed defending it, respectably lost at TB2. beat major concerns and has nitty coming up for vol 5. his whole run's been solid since debatably beating illmac, which no one likes to admit.

would call jj trash but the jakkboy performance was too good

**RonRon da Dong** · 11-30-2019, 03:13 AM

Was always a fan of Chillas writing. His delivery, not so much.

Chilla vs JC was pivotal, for better or worse.

wtf did kotd and bulldog battles pay u 3 dollars to post this troll thread

only thing i can say that's good for the culture is how they approach it outside of battling. as far as battling. so many surpass both these dudes. hope the best for u and ur health

For real. JJTD has his moments, but Chilla is a master of a style no-one gives a shit about anymore. It's between him and Charron for the most constantly disappointing so-called top tier.

Also if a Chilla bar has ever gone over your head genuinely reflect whether battle rap is something you should really be into, lol. Chilla is a lot of things, but a complex writer is not one of them.

**youdontwannabethatguy** · 11-30-2019, 02:26 PM

im not excited for either of there battles almost ever but i can appreciate they're good at what they do.

**Abstrakt** · 11-30-2019, 03:36 PM

i think im the only person who likes chilla on here and i believe JJDD has improved a lot. both can be boring at times for sure though

**track 1** · 12-01-2019, 02:10 AM

chilla is an automatic skip for me

**irvsykeg** · 12-01-2019, 08:06 AM

lmao chilla and jjdd are fucking TERRIBLE and perfect examples of dog shit writing that stupid people can "get" so they feel cool

LOOL *loosens half windsor* so yoiu think it'l be a TIE? *exposes cummerbund* he aint SUITED to beat me *takes off jacket* he better get a VEST!!

chilla and jjdd are perfect if ur looking for that bridge between you being fuckin stupid as a person and not genuinely clever and the top of battle rap so u can too be inspired to suck dick at battling anad give it a shot

**irvsykeg** · 12-01-2019, 08:09 AM

if ur impressed by chillas writing hop on the wayback archive and go check out text battles on rapmusic from 15 years ago. seriously. also u prob get crayons and a doodle placemat before ur handlers order ur chicken tenders

the way john clawed the van DAMN!!

lmao what does that even mean tho

chilla is hella good at not being good at writing clever or tightly structured bars?

thats like me when i was blacked oiut golfing with friends, cussing loudly after each shitty drive and shooting a +3853785 like "yeah he's good at what he does" referring to playing like happy gilmore in the first half of the flick

a prerequisite used to be things like rhyming impressively and making sense. thats the backbone of battle rap. chilla doesn't do that

**Neanderthol** · 12-01-2019, 09:52 PM

cant tell if serious but for me its a yes to Chilla and a fuck no to JJDD

aren’t you friends with illmac? of course you’d try to shit on a rapper who debatably beat him. hard to take your criticism of chilla seriously.

not to defend jj but his first round for red was great. that and his second for jakkboy were the only memorable things he’s done this year tho.

**irvsykeg** · 12-02-2019, 08:05 AM

Lmao what would me being ffriends with anybody mean at sll? LOL at Chilla beating him though

**Emancee** · 12-02-2019, 09:11 AM

Do people really think that Illmac and his friends are really all that concerned about one 'loss'? Maybe somewhere there is a secret cabal of Illmac fans plotting how they will brainwash the masses into believing that Chilla is trash, but I doubt it.

Have a quick look and currently that battle is 86% Illmac votes, 14% Chilla. It's cool to have a different opinion, but you're probably wrong on this one, bro

**RickyProehl** · 12-02-2019, 02:31 PM

Oh my

I dont hate either but both fall flat often. Like john john better

**irvsykeg** · 12-02-2019, 03:38 PM

Ya idc if illmac loses or not. Ive always spoken out when he sucked like against ill will he was pretty gahbage. Ive made fun of illmac more than anybody in earth im pretty sure

Chilla is just terrible and the idea greg lost to him is hilarious

All good tho. Youre a fan of eyeball schemes no biggie

**MrMumbles905** · 12-02-2019, 05:22 PM

I never liked Chilla overscheme style but he has developed allot better.

JJ is a basic battler. He has all the tools but just doesn't do it for me. Not bad not good. He a battle by numbers type

he outclassed illmac as a writer in that battle. illmac rapped and performed better, which is enough to give him the win. if we’re talking just from bars tho, chilla had the more intelligent pen. dismiss it as “eyeball schemes” if you want. chilla’s schemes are topical and take a certain amount of knowledge to even conceptualize. it’s why his schemes are still effective nearing 2020.

Bro, I hope you don't think we're ganging up on you, because this is actually really interesting to see why people rate guys who I personally can't stand.

Looking on Genius lyrics, Chilla had some decent material (Prison Break bars>>>). However, these are two out of the five word associations from Chilla 'King Pen' Jones in that battle. Genuinely all of these are disposable trash to me (Other two were solid enough):

You got the HEART to TELL TALES in all of these convos
But they ain't RAVIN' for you?
Damn, y'all brought me the wrong POE!
Classic case of bars that work one way but not the other

Like, to beat me, you'll need Professor X with his brain focused
The Phoenix with flames glowin'
Gambit with his Ace showin'
Cyclops with the shades low, Logan with his rage growin'
All of this to set up an albeit decent Hulk closer. Also to beat me you'll need is super played.

Like a 6 AM yoga class, Mac, you gettin' stretched early
I'm Steph Curry, you Kerry Kittles in a Nets jersey
This a fresh thirty, I'm Magic in his prime
And I don't even think your best worthy
Not strictly a scheme, but anyone could write this

**irvsykeg** · 12-03-2019, 05:55 AM

Wait is this moron trolling just like op or is he joking?

**irvsykeg** · 12-03-2019, 05:57 AM

If you think Chilla is clever or his bars are brilliant or some shit, you're just not a very clever

It's all subjective though. So I'm happy that you've found something to Dazzle your little peanut brain. You would probably like the shit I wrote when I was a teenager

**irvsykeg** · 12-03-2019, 06:03 AM

It's almost like the average person doesn't realize the English language is comprised of homophones and it's not at all difficult to throw in single words to double as something else when they aren't attached to anything

The poem isnt tell tales heart, its tell tale, The Raven is a completely different poem, and throwing in heart for all of them is pointless and lazy. How fucking difficult do you guys think it really is to throw in single words cherry-picked from an artist catalog?

This isn't hyperbole but of the dudes who get views, or guys who are somehow respected, Chilla is honestly the worst

**ass2myface** · 12-03-2019, 06:11 AM

Irv man you need therapy lol. Real talk, getting bent out of shape over shit you can't control is a problem.

Battling isn't going to go back to a personal golden era for you. It's like 90's basketball heads like me bitching about players getting "Load management days off" or complaining about common fouls that are considered flagrant fouls today. Adjust to the shit or don't watch, it's pretty simple. What is the point of watching something that changed, and expecting prior results. You still love battle rap and are either a miserable human being battling addiction, or trolling a dying website.

**irvsykeg** · 12-03-2019, 06:13 AM

You confuse me voice to texting while walking my dog with me taking shit personally lol

I don't watch battles

**irvsykeg** · 12-03-2019, 06:15 AM

Battling has been terrible for a lot longer than this.. It's just funny listening to people's logic and realizing certain people are apparently functioning retards.

Like being honest that does indeed Boggle my mind. How somebody can be amazed that some moron managed to fit the word heart and Raven within a couple sentences together.

Haha. Which part of "Genuinely all of these are disposable trash to me" did you mistake for me thinking this was good?

**irvsykeg** · 12-03-2019, 09:16 AM

I wasn't talking to you brother, that was me talking to the dingbat who thinks Chilla outclassed anybody

Imagine taking a morning stroll, you see a bloke in the distance walking his dog and talking into his phone intensely, then as you get within earshot you realise he's in the middle of a brutal take down of your favourite battler.

Was it Illmac that used to practice rapping while jogging? Imaging him jogging past people spitting aggressive man poems always made me laugh to imagine

"improving my lung capacity rapping while i'm actually running Los Ang'les streets? THAT WAS ME"

**irvsykeg** · 12-03-2019, 01:57 PM

Lol it doesn't apply to my posts on here as much, but I've always laughed about how it's impossible to not look stupid having a debate or argument while voice to texting. The punctuation takes all the kick out of any sort of aggression

Walking my pup in her red Christmas sweater "EL OH EL YOU REALLY THINK CHILLA IS GOOD QUESTION MARK YOU MUST BE SLOW COMMA TROLLING COMMA OR MAYBE BOTH PERIOD"

I just need to figure out how to do it with my Bluetooth to really confuse the neighborhood
