Essential The Official Battle Rap Random Thoughts Thread (URL, KOTD, UW etc...)

Apparently Lux and Day is on the Diz vs Crooked I card

Diz and Day are doing business together?

I feel you. But when was the last time a URL crowd truly appreciated Lux's style? I don't feel like a modern-day URL crowd has the patience for this type of matchup. If the battle were on URL, it'd have to be in the Mook/Roc, Lyt/Roc setting to be truly appreciated.

I definitely wouldn’t want it on a big stage. I would love to have it on a volume card, but I don’t know how realistic that would be

I'd more say it's Lux and Diz doing business together

Like I was saying some pages back RBE is doing things differently. I know people was trying to say what they doing isn’t new, but it is. They are taking new talent development much much seriously than before. They haven’t had a big card all year.

Lux’s last three battles on the URL were Verb, Surf, and Geechi right? We’ll take out the Surf battle, because there was no crowd.

We can’t say he wasn’t treated fairly in Houston, AND it was the last battle of the night. In hindsight, both Lux and Verb were kind of light that battle IMO and treated well.

Against Geechi, he was on the road. You‘re suppose to fight for crowd reaction right? It’s what all the other battlers have been doing for years. He got plenty of love in the first round because it was undeniable. I don’t see how he was treated unfairly ON THE ROAD lol. That’s on him for not remembering his shyt.

I didn’t mention the Loaded Hollows battle, but he got plenty of love there too.

Believe me I understand what you’re trying to convey here, but if Lux’s material there, he gets love.

Again, you're taking one part of the argument and building your entire case of it being an awful take around how the battlers feel. That was literally one small aspect of the argument, and very inconsequential of my macro argument. The bigger point is getting a NOME battle after losing in a tournament where one of the rewards is a NOME battle, literally undercuts one of your selling points for entering the tournament. LOL. This isn't a difficult concept to comprehend. It's not the end of the world, URL is not a shytty company for this, JC and Swamp aren't gonna die because of it, but it's just an observation using logic.

I assume the reward was 100K?

 

[Reptile]

This is just your opinion. URL never said if you lose in the tournament you can’t be on NOME. If you thought UM5 would impact if Geechi would be on NOME , then you were crazy. The main prize is not NOME, it is the 100k. Geechi been on almost every big card for the last 3 years. Sikh have already been on NOME, Summer Madness and the Drake Card. Having them on this NOME dose not devalue the tournament at all. It would be different if this was UM 4 with all the rookies.

And THIS is just YOUR opinion. Again you bringing up a bunch irrelevant dynamics that have nothing to do with anything. Of course URL never said if you lose in the tournament you can’t be on NOME thats whats wrong with it in the first place. No order. But that shouldn't have to be said because nikkas are competing for a NOME spot and a 100K in the first place. Just like if you lose you dont win the100K, right??????

 

[Rasille]

nikkaS ARE COMPETING FOR A 100K IN THE FIRST PLACE!

The finals just happen to be on NOME. They could easily in the future make the finals on a Super Fight or a one off. Where the finals are happening is irrelevant.

This post makes NO sense. How is where the finals are happening irrelevant, when them being in the tournament and more or less dominating their respective brackets in why their on NOME in the first place? And you saying the couldve make the finals on a Super Fight just proves my point. Why make a NOME placement apart of the tournament in the first place if your going to undercut it (as stated earlier)?

Geechi fukking Gotti do not have to complete for a NOME spot
Your not being realistic. The NOME spot is a reward for the Rookies or Mid Tier battlers. It is not a reward for Top tier battlers. It just is what it is.

Then why he enter the tournament?

Then why he enter the tournament?

For the top tiers the 100k. For everyone else the 100k plus the exposure of a good showing. Look what it did for Stumbles and he lost in the first rd.

 

[dutchie]

Expect a nikka who headlined 90% of main cards in the last 5 years to compete for a nome spot brehs

The prize is a 100K man that’s it. The attraction of being on NOME would make sense if it were all rookies or no names in the tournament. Why would being on NOME matter to people like Geechi, Rum, Suge, Red, JC or Sikh? They’ve all been on NOME before.
