So URL is never gonna do a stream :snoop: that's disappointing. nikkas really not tryna wait years and shyt for these battles to drop anymore. I wonder what Beasley and them offer was to lux. If it was over 20k and he turned it down :dead:


they will...eventually. If they want to keep up and survive. URL has always been slow to adapt which is funny since the slogan was "follow the originators not the imitators" Times change,businesses that don't change with the times die. They keep depending on our attention spans to keep us interested while we wait weeks/months for battles to drop on youtube then its gonna end bad. When you provide entertainment for people you have to understand it ain't no guarantee they'll love you tomorrow. Life happens fast and what you loved yesterday can become unimportant tomorrow.

Religion is dumb b
Beasley and Smack are waaaay too obsessed with the presentation before they release it. KOTD been doing PPVs forever and their views haven't suffered at all.

First off most people don't even know how to access these bootlegs or know they exist. There are some, but not nearly as much as he likes to think
And when the real footage drops, people still watch it. Even after they watched the bootleg.

Especially when people like beasley and chico gonna be on youtube and mediafire all day making infringement complaints so they keep the bootlegs to an absolute minimum.
And "at the end of the day"(Charlie Clips voice) nikkas (such as myself) are going to go on the video when they finally dropped anyways even if it's just to comment or make a joke about what kind of jordans a nikka is wearing with a tuxedo.

Lol.. honestly. I can't even picture him and Smack talking business. I'm sure it goes something along the lines of:

Beasley: Smack.. so I spoke to Loaded Lux about SM3. This is what he suggests....

Smack: Leetttttttsgetittpoppinnnnnnnn Leeeeeeetsgeeeeeetiiiiitpopppinnnn

Beasley: :snoop: Take a look at these figures he wants up front, with no investment on his end if we do a PPV or live stream.

Smack: Beasley in the building. Beasley you ready? Shout out to Puff and Ciroc in the building. Ya'll ready?

Beasley: Ain't nobody here but me and y...

Smack: smddddddddaaaaaaack *throws up hand sign, leaves room*

:pachaha:

They need to invest in the PPV trucks. UFC gets bootlegged like hell but they have merch, licenses, etc. to support a FULL business model. All URL has is the event which is why they are struggling to do big events.

@7:42 He says Lux is not big like that. I guess being a top 5 battle rapper is meaningless to this guy.

I mean he's not active though...he's not putting in work like that.

Well, it sounds forced when he says they helped each other get big. Even though that's true.

I think he really wants to say we made it off our own efforts, so fukk Lux.

So...battle rappers are treated like slaves too, no different than dudes on majors.

If he was that big he could get the money somewhere else

Or he should leave this battle rap shiit alone and get his career going. Why do 10 battles and only make 30k for the year, might as well work at McDonalds.

Beasly made a point on BRA last night, nobody was callin' Lux line before SM2....the URL gave him that platform to eventually gain the exposure that he did. He's made valid points throughout this whole situation. He wasn't tryna downplay Lux, he said on forbezdvd that he didn't wanna blow lux head up even more, but they asked him who is the top battle rapper and he said Lux. Lux's worth has never been an issue and i doubt it ever will be, he's a legend in every aspect of the culture and we all know he's going to bring his A game every time. It's his asking price that's just illogical in a business sense.
