Feels like a bunch of washed vets on minimum contracts vs. the blandest mid tier battle rap may have ever had
Essential The Official Battle Rap Random Thoughts Thread (URL, KOTD, UW etc...)
- Thread starter Brooklynzson
- Start date
Any time Smack/URL has a bad year it feels like battle rap is at its lowest.
URL needs two crazy events in the next 6 months to salvage this year.
Venues must be dumb cheap, only explanation for why they keep throwing events there. I can't recall one ATL battle event where the crowd was good. Not one.

Crowds are disengaged, have low attention spans, and only respond to bars that they know are coming. The new battlers are mostly copy-and-pasted and don't really have any star qualities. Yeah battle rap is at it's lowest point. If Eazy quit battle rap tomorrow it literally wouldnt be anything to talk about. That says a lot about the current state of battle rap.

Need a Lux battle to save battlerap 
Yeah it's been terrible, and it starts with the URL. If the URL is thriving, it benefits battle rap as a whole. If the URL is doing terrible, it hurts the entire culture.
URL is failing in every category this year from recruiting, to matchmaking, to marketing, etc.
I don't know if this is intentional and they're waiting for this Caffeine deal to expire, but it's been bad.
There had two gimmick events. Kings vs Queens and Double Impact mean nothing.

I think the crowd shyt is 2 fold.
1. Your battlers arent putting in any effort for the most part. They dont sound energetic. They lack performance. I bet you someone like Surf/Ez wouldve livened up the crowd. It's also a 2v2, and most hardcore fans that wouldve made a good crowd probably dont care for 2v2s like that. So that leaves the more casual ppl coming, that's probably there for the main event only. I think the main event was the most active the crowd was that night. Battlers also need to stop bytching at the crowd when they dont get a response.
2. Like with wrestling going to a venue too many times in a short period, they wearing out their crowd with all the ATL events. So if you not bringing some heavy hitters, you not gonna get a good crowd at this point.
Also taking 20 minutes between each battle aint helping the crowds mood either. That's an extra hour+ you putting them through. This is on top of another surprise battle that no one wants to see, so just wasting time. I guess Sheed is who they pushing as the next star? Surprise battle on Nome Impact and Summer Madness or w/e that big card was last year?

Surfettes must be sad. Too bad I can't see their tears
$135 and a bucket of Zaxby's. Bama ass nikkas
I disagree. It's URL's execution after the first 2 or 3. Made up teams with little to no checmistry, random matches, not paying for/politics keeping the fans from the teams peope want (Verb/Hitman, Math/Cortez, DNA/Shine, Clips/Goodz etc)Looks like I didn’t miss anything by skipping this URL event. Full 2 on 2 event cards should be banned.
True, but ATL crowds are shyt. They just are. NYC crowds are 10 times better on average. They LOVE this shyt. You just can't be trash.
