RBE is finally trying to develop their own talent. They should of been doing this. They are so far behind now.

they been trying to do that with the s1ks
and the biggest URL star is stolen talent
KOTD built up Geechi
Smack just took Geechi to the next level cuz its the biggest stage
Same thing would happen to any RBE talent
RBE doesnt have a platform to get people to the same status as someone on URL

His best bet is to scout nikkas who do them spaces battles.

I really wish B-Magic was able to consistently rap for 3 rounds. Rum Nitty’s probably cemented himself as the best pure puncher ever but Magic actually raps.

Rum is more creative (better punches and wordplay) but Magic is FAR more technical (flow, rhyme structure, round structure, etc). Punch for punch Rum is better but Magic has some much more to offer in terms of skill (Magic ALSO has a pen that he very seldom flaunts but thats another discussion). I was arguing with these whiteboys (which takes up 89% of Rums fanbase) on YouTube about this shyt and they JUST DONT GET IT. "BrO hOw iS rUm nOT mOrE TeChNicAL thAN MagIC? RuM litERaLLy sAYs tHE bEsT StuPH iN bATtLerAP" 0____O 0____O 0____O 0____O 0 ____O

I’ve noticed the divide in the Rum/Magic debate usually boils down to what people look for in rappers. Not even trying to sound snobby but people that hail B-Magic are usually the types that appreciate lyricists and the more technical side of rapping. Rum fans are typically straight up punchline rap fans.

Thought this was a good way for ARP to show that RBE is expanding more. They've been doing good with the Straight To It series and the drops on YouTube,
His best bet is to scout nikkas who do them spaces battles.

That or just keep that line of communication from leagues like KOTD or GTX that want to join the squad; I know it's not from the ground up like that but that might be their best bet. I had a feeling RBE would get to this point and make it worth it in the end.

right, but the one thing RBE did was provide the alternative on a big platform. which is what every league does but RBE is in a special position where they are seen as direct competition with SMACK URL. and it seems to work if they've been able to keep it going for 9 years like this. i think people didn't think RBE would last and keep growing given how much in competition they are with SMACK URL.

I remember they were talking about B-Magic vs Brookyln Carter for Midnight Madness in the spaces a couple months ago. I actually wanted to see that battle. :yeshrug:
