[DEAD7]

[Reptile]

[DEAD7]

I aint even mad at P... Eazy was on a live talkin bout he'll slap P
P probably called Reed too after hearing that

 

[Diyhai]

I just saw a few of the clips posted here but if I'm reading it correctly, how are the battlers wrong?

If this person offers me 8k to battle and it's not a legally binding contract or nothing so I can back out...then someone else comes around and offers me 20k not to do that battle and a promise that they got me with a bigger battle down the line...why in thee world would I not back out? Lol, explain please, if that's how this is.

Eazy should be madd strictly at the URL for stepping on his toes, people get killed like that in the street...why is he madd at Danny/battlers? They're just contractors, why wouldn't they take the bigger bag and potentially a bigger look? Cause they was supposed to "Keep it real"? Lol. URL is foul but that's business

You a fraud nygga
If u can’t understand
You committing to a battle then backing out at the last minute is sucker shyt

How is that NOT wrong lol.

If I offer you something and you agree to it, how is not wrong (ethically/morally) to go back on your word because you got a better/different offer?

If you agreed to it, it’s a legally binding contract whether or not you signed anything.

Now if it’s just an offer and you didn’t agree and said I’ll get back to you after I consider other offers, that’s different. But it’s certainly wrong to go back on your word in any circumstance. I’m not sure where the disagreement there is.

Now if you want to say that most people would go back on their word for a better opportunity and therefore it’s not such a big deal, I suppose I could see THAT angle.

If the contract is legally binding then what are we even talking about? What is Eazy mad about? Go ahead and call the lawyer, collect the damages they will have to pay for breaching that and move forward, nothing more to discuss, then damages are heavy in breached contract situations usually.

He isn’t acting like the contracts are legally binding…neither are the battlers pulling out, pause…so I seriously think these jawns were just done on some “I got you fam” type ish, which is juvenile in business. Being “wrong/foul” is different than breaking contract champ, in business people tend to follow the money, no matter how foul or wrong it may be.

Being “100” and solid and having good morals and being a man of your word is great in terms of character and being a good person…in the Business world tho that is a hinderance unfortunately and you probably will not survive long operating like that…there’s a reason Business/Corporate has the reputation that it does. People say/act like they move with honor but trust me, in business, no one does, the bottom line is the bottom line.

Battle Rap, as a whole, is looking shaky right now. New stars and matchups will come as they always do, but is this the peak of the culture with the constant in-fighting?

This is one of, if not the most challenging form of performance art, but how can anyone on the outside respect this industry?

Whether it’s wrong/foul/sucker shyt is moot…of course it is, lol…but that’s not the issue. It’s business…if Danny/whoever isn’t breaching a contract and just going with the bigger bag to provide for themselves and their families then they’re just doing smart business. And I get you/yall, I know how it looks to y’all…but even then why are you mad at Danny? Be mad at the URL for stepping on toes and big banking your boy.

If your coworker got a gas station charging $3.49 a gallon and you told him you’d support his spot…but the gas station across the street, who you also have a good rapport with, lowers their joint to $3.09 a gallon plus a free car wash with every fill up (because they can afford to do that) your coworker shouldn’t be mad at you for going there instead, he should be mad at them for hurting his business. If it was the street, somebody would go over there and tell them to either move or raise the prices before something terrible/violent/expensive maybe happens to them and their place

URL is doing what your supposed to do, look out for the best interest of your company. Eazy like Remy, like what ARP used to do, like arsonal like even geechi did, just want a way to flip some bread. They want to open a 50k budget and make 150k off ticket sales and ppv. If these guys are sincere about battle rap then do the ground work and find your own roster and talent like John John and Organik did. But they don't want to do the hard work instead they want to sit back watch URL build all the stars up then steal their potential match ups. If all these leagues can book url potential leagues for a quarter of the cost how is url supposed to fill out all the events they have lined up for a year? So I don't blame url at all for what they are doing. Arp used to talk that same shyt now he even getting guys under contract and starting to stop battles. Eazy will understand once guys are stealing his talent, if he ever begins to develop anyone.

, he’s crazy

 

[wizworld]

Nygga I’m not talking about his live. I’m talking about the money he just lost. He purchased plane tickets, hotel, etc for Danny. All that shyt is lost.

No one likes losing money. How is losing money doing something right?

Eazy wasn't paying them market rate he was basically cashing in favors. So all of this promo put him on a crazy pedestal.

 

[wizworld]

Homie just wants some attention.

He has a right to be frustrated with everything he is seeing.

Interest subtext in all this is that he is no longer king of all things anti-URL

I'm not a Holmzie hater or anything but him getting The Saurus is like Lux going up to KOTD and battling Chedda Cheese or somebody
