Essential The Official Battle Rap Random Thoughts Thread (URL, KOTD, UW etc...)

[T.H.E.GOD]

Wish hollow used his old voice and cadences more. He’s stuck in the screechy shyt all battle trying to be aggressive

I peeped that from the rip. His performance just ain’t the same like a twork.. but twork wasn’t saying shyt at all…. Maybe two hot lines the most….

I say the same thing all the time. His voice does not allow him to be realistically aggressive. He should actually go the other end of the spectrum and start delivering his bars nonchalantly like he once did. Listening to just the material I still think he's just as creative as he's always been.

Yep. I like the aggression as a change up for a hard punch at the end of a setup, because his voice is uniquely weird. Sounds bad when you use it the whole round.

I want to see Rosenburg Raw vs Ace Amin one day.

This is the second event where KOTD is relying heavily on URL talent.

I am guessing both leagues have an understanding.

I also found it interesting because seemingly RBE and KOTD had some relationship. Even shared the same PPV streams

But ever since Smack showed to the Pat Stay event and ARP didn't, it seems the relationships have flipped a little. Seems RBE have more of a working relationship with Chrome now.

URL understanding they can't crack the whip too hard or the battlers will leave forreal

JC vs Jey The Nitewing rematch on BO8 Im calling it.

I think they see the stunted growth from keeping all these guys on the app. There is a validation that comes with battlers excelling outside of their comfort zone on a well known platform. Cortez vs Hollohan is a great example of that. Cortez did him dirty but Hollohan landed battles with Clips & T-Rex after that.
Think about a guy like Ace Amin in that position. That would elevate his stature way more than him battling on Ibattle. Or Jerry Wess on GT card with a couple gimmicks tailored to that audience? He would be able to post clips of the footage for his fans.

Most respected active platforms outside of URL are RBE, KOTD, GrindTime, QOTR and now Chrome. So the only choices for outside exposure are KOTD, GTNow and the one marquee card that QOTR may throw a year. If guys like Real Sikh aren't getting the exposure URL will keep having to pay the 2010 stars top dollar.

like suspected they have some kind of agreement

 

[Ethnic Cleansing]

like suspected they have some kind of agreement

He left out pandering as one of his attributes

 

[TripleAgent]

like suspected they have some kind of agreement

More like the leash is loosened due to their position weakening. Or his contract is up and he is smart enough to leverage it.

I know many of you guys are tired of Verb's spaces promo but he's been killing it last two days
