Californ-i-a by way of BK
1. I bet Beasley is lying with that statement. Caffeine was footing the bill for these cards to live stream, while URL got to put them on the app when the stream was over. Mook bragged about getting paid 60k for the same battle 3x, I bet that was all Caffeine money. Caffeine was offsetting a lot of costs for URL, like giving battlers streaming deals, which most likely made it easier for URL to negotiate the app only battle fees. I agree with the visibility thing though. I think it was either Ez or Norbes that said they were spending a lot on marketing, billboards and shyt.

2. That's the plan. Beasley already said they have the ability to stream live events in the app and they just waiting til the Caffeine deal is done to be able to do it.
Agreed. Like I said, unless he's being cute with his words, meaning URL could've technically brought in more money prior to Caffeine, but I highly doubt they had a higher net.

See this is what I mean, he playing with wording. You took less money and wouldve made more independently compared to/based on what exactly?
He never really explains what he means by that. Is he taking caffeine views for an event, saying a % wouldve paid $55 and basing it on that? Saying those viewers wouldve been willing to get the app to view the event? I listened til he brought up the youtube stuff again and he never breaks it down.

URL probably barely had to come out of their own pocket for anything(caffeine events) these past few years. Caffeine paid for everything from the battlers to the venues. This is on top of Caffeine most likely paying URL to run events as well.

Ez had already broke down some of the pay in a recent boul episode. He said him or someone else was getting paid 20k to battle on Caffeine, but when URL asked them to do an app battle, they wanted to do it for 4k. "You want to pay me 5x less for the same material?, Na"

Hey I’m not here to debate can only go by what the man says.

As far as easy, he’s kind of showed he cant really be taken seriously after this whole card fiasco.

I'm just going by how his comments come off to me. He doesnt really say anything that timestamp :manny:

idk what Ez's card has to do with him saying you take a massive pay cut when you do an app only battle. Especially when it seems URL played a big part in trying to mess over the card.

This.
nikkas really delusional in here CRYING calling Mooks loss hate because we ain’t siding with a KOON that got called out.
If you out here giving white women passes to call you the N-word,
I don’t wanna hear ANY Black struggle bars / angle.
All that shyt DEAD to me.

Bigg K succeeded and won where Tay Roc failed and lost,
it is what it is.
Bigg K counter-wrote masterfully like I predicted to be a possibility before the battle.


Mook LOST because he was KOONING for the world to see.
To act like there’s an agenda of hate against him because he LOST is wild dishonest when Battlerap as a whole has a predominantly Black fanbase.
This is either blatant lying or delusion if you’re acting like Mook doesn’t have a hate bias against him in battle rap. :comeon:

You literally talked about how you’re wanting to see him lose in this very post.

Your comprehensive reading skills are laughable.

The overwhelming majority in Battlerap community is BLACK.
Bigg K has half of Battlerap community BLOCKED, yet you’re out here tryna push the “nikkas hate Mook, they wanted him to lose” narrative instead of understanding the reality that “Mook lost, because he was KOONING for the world to see, so anyone with half a brain could predict his race angles falling flat against a white battler that counter wrote” which is exactly what happened.

Mook vs white battler (Bigg K):
Listen, I don’t care if it appear racist
This is my opinion, you can’t change it
I don’t wanna hear nuffin from nobody,
telling me about somebody being any kind of nikka
if the nikka CAN’T SAY IT, nikka!!


Also Mook vs white woman (YesYulz):
I would be cool with you saying “nikka”
full

**:what::ld: **

She’s Spanish, she’s not even WHITE!!

Are you Spanish?
YesYulz: I’m Puerto Rican & Italian :hubie:
Then you Black!!!
full



You after Mook clearly lost: They WANTED Mook to lose :mjcry:

You got it breh :mjlol:
it’s everybody’s fault, but Mook’s own :russ: :dead:

I won’t be buying that double impact. As thirsty as I am for a url card.

brizz vs mook on rbe would still make noise I think. That’s about it.
