What a terrible card.
I actually like this card (but I haven't watched a URL event all year).
To me they need to do more cards like this so they can build up some of these other guys, but these can't all be App only events.

What a surprise,
Twork no showed another battle. At this point I don’t t even blame Twork. If you book Twork with his history of no showing and choking that is on you. You know the risk you take booking Twork, and Qleen. Jai should know better

Chilla has really mismanaged his career since bodybagging prep

URL still doing the white on white battlers lol
I respectfully disagree fam.

After Chilla won COTY, Mickey Factz approached him to join him at Pendulum Ink.

They run an school together full-time.
Chilla is the co-founder over there.

Mickey literally said he makes no decision without his involvement.

Chilla doesn’t need Battlerap and simply decided to focus on Pendulum Ink.

(Timestamped)


Lupe Fiasco has SOSA and is a professor over at MIT.

Mickey and Chilla are in SOSA and started their branch with Pendulum Ink. They’re creating new literary terms and writing literature about Hiphop.

They got Professors in Jazz, psychology, etc contributing. And that’s ON TOP of legendary rappers contributing.

When we praise our rappers saying:
“such and such is on par with *insert poet*,
what the likes of Lupe, Mickey and Chilla are doing,
is showing it ACADEMICALLY on a verified world-class level.

Personally, I have kept my eyes on SOSA because when Lupe spoke about it, he did so with intention and a clear goal to what it would be, could turn into and mean to Hiphop.

So to see him follow through with SOSA and get to MIT speaks to their dedication and professionalism.
Pendulum being a branch of what he built and adding to THAT is dope as hell to me.

They are adding to Black culture being documented and respected among the best universities in the world.

It actually surprises me it ain’t more popular and spoken about, because shyt is truly amazing if you ask me.

That’s legacy defining shyt right there that the whole culture benefits from.

So yeah, Chilla might not be active in Battlerap,
but to say he mismanaged his career with what he got goin on.
Ehhh, is a bit uninformed imo

Californ-i-a by way of BK
Lol. What's going on?
It must be killing Eazy not to post a blog.
This was is live too, so if they had any issues, it's cleared up, at least publicly.

But Eazy looks wild. Pap ignored him, if he's on the outs with Rem, he's fukked. But he may not be, just gotta wait and see.

Just watched Red/suge vs Cal/Hollow

Calicoe is a straight bozo. Up there with that big ass baggy rain outfit.

Cal not half as nice as O Red yet he talkin smack to red during the battle.

Im mad the crowd fed into that bullshyt. Battlerap is full of weirdos. Yall nikkas pay to watch nikkas rap but dont want to et nikkas rap.

Red was the 1st champion of the year.. when Cal ever sniffed champion if the year?
Cal and Hollow are both ass every battle. Foh.
If COTY was out during his time, he would've been 2x COTY. Stop it
