XCEL vs Lu Cipher from GOTC: Cold War

[@hydrographix]

XCel is underrated. One of the most consistent writers in battle rap.

[@klynch7222]

Xcel looking at the camera was annoying as hell!

[@babyblueLEGEND]

X is a dope writer but he is NOT underrated. He had a series of battles where he choked, he killed his own buzz.

[@savvyjpoucher]

I'm with you hydrographix.... And as far as the chokes go, he'd be a deemed a legend if he were from Jersey instead of Brockton🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ipromisemusic]

I'm excited while watching this battle, 2 lyricists

[@KOICHI.613]

"Your rounds make the same noise as mine...with a silencer." XCEL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

In what future? He been battling forever dawg 😂

I just found him also. He is insane fire. But he has been in the game for 10 years i think

[@AliDaPoet_Hungry4Knowledge]

Excel ...came with it ...like usual...this was a nice battle...crowd was on point too...

[@hitokiribattousai6114]

Feel like a few bars went over heads, including mine. Lu Cipher's style is the relaxed type, it adds to the performance, not everyone has to be jumping up and screaming. Both had crazy bars. Close battle, no clear winner, props to both Lu Cipher and XCEL. Edit: If you wanna see a slept on fire battle, watch Troy Brown vs Lu Cipher

This was a GREAT battle. Maybe the best of the year thus far in my eyes. Gotta give it to Xcel but Lu was cold as hell.

[@str8cain]

What's scary about Xcel is.. Far as skills, lyricism,in depth patterns and rhyming skills and creativity.. He's always had that... But.. He's now understanding timing and crowd control as well as charisma with a little swag.. This guy is gonna be something we've never seen soon

[@vincentaponte8549]

Prince Holman if you think Lu Cipher is the future you’re either not bright or you’re in his camp. Tay was very unlike anyone else. Lu is another pen battler but his pen isn’t as good as most of the other pen battlers (Chilla/QP/etc) he doesn’t do anything better than any top tiers so I don’t know how he would be the future. Don’t get me wrong I like him, but the future is a huge stretch
