Conway may be one of Shady Recordsâ newest signees along with his brother Westside Gunn, but that doesnât mean heâs lost his competitive edge.
In a verse on Statik Selektahâs Showoff on Shade 45 recently, Con reached into his rhymebook and pulled out some lines from his 2015 mixtape track âThe Mobb,â where he calls out some of the most feared battle MCs in the game.
âDonât compare me to these battle rappinâ niggas we donât rap alike / Niggas ainât even half as nice / Iâll slap the life outta your favorite rapper twice / Murda Mook in front of T-Rex / Cut Dizaster in half with a plastic knife / The Calicoe Loaded with Clips ripping through parts of you / Gotta hollow for Hollow, but Iâm saving it for Arsonal.â

Dizaster went live on Periscope to respond to the callout, first making fun of the idea of getting cut with a âplastic knifeâ and then giving a more serious breakdown of Conwayâs skills.

âFirst of all, letâs get one thing straight. Ainât nobody in the world who can beat [me],â he says. âSecond of all, Conwayâs dope. Super nice. He probably can beat Calicoe and Mook. I think he could beat them. As far as me, Hollow, Arsonal and Lux? Uggghhhhh maybe Lux. Me, Hollow and Arsonal? Ughhhhh I dunno Conway. I donât know Doggie!â

He gives him some credit for staying competitive and shaking things up, but ultimately doubts theyâll ever meet in the ring.
âI donât think we would ever battle. Iâd rather do a collab with cuz but I know heâs on his own wave right now,â the L.A.-based battler says.
Conâs trash talked battle rap as a whole before on Twitter.

Still, he isnât just purely talking trash from outside the ring. Heâs actually battled in the modern format before, although the audio in this footage from 2014 is so bad that itâs tough to determine exactly how well he did.
