LOL Smack be giving it up in Threads


Nah, he isn't really saying shyt. No names, specific accounts, or self reflection.
I totally agree with the sentiment, but SMACK let Surf get away with choking countless times talking bout “we got what we need” sending the whole culture back.

Let Twork and Chess get away with the same shyt too sending the wrong messages in the culture

Hold YOURSELF accountable SMACK :ufdup:

The problem with many of these White v Black battles is that the fans generally are FAR more invested in the personal lives of the Black battler. So there's that much more ammo for the White guy. It's rarely ever skill vs skill.

How does it make sense that Iron Solomon could mock Ness for the things he experienced because he DIDN'T grow up privileged & protected? Since when is hip-hop supposed to favor the privileged and protected? Still people came away from that battle saying Iron won, even though Ness rapped circles around him.

These are some of the main reasons I'm not a fan of 99.99% of white battlers. Especially that last part. nikkas can't RAP. This is battle RAP. Not battle talk with no cadence or flow or delivery, but I'm going to reference a bunch of stuff you did without a care about it actually being clever or having rhythm. Low hanging fruit shyt.

This is more of a battle rap problem in general

You get guys like Sikh and Ness who be rappin rappin, but don't get love cause they don't "angle" or "they're not direct"

215 Uptown!
They got damn near 2 months to prepare and it's a small room setting. Verb 2-1 clear.

Hearing Ill is also on the card. If we get vintage level performances from hitman ill and verb on the same night that would be one of the dopest things in battle rap in a min, And i can see all of them wanting to show out since they all on the same card,



Swamp..........:mjlol:

this is a real picture and yet somehow at the same time it cant be


Smack feeling the pressure. This nicca getting emotional now. It ain’t no fun when the rabbit got the gun. He’s getting pressed outchea.

I’m all for boycotting Summer Madness. It may force them to drop their goofy restrictions and rules if their shyt continues to fall off.
