He’s doing a poor job of explaining his issues. I haven’t seen the full interview though. Just some of the clips posted.
I think I got his issue from the clips. To me his issue is this:
On his contract he opted to get half his total sum up front and the rest paid monthly for the duration of the contract. It was for 5 battles for like 2 years. Lets say the amount is 250k. So he got 125k up front and was paid 5200 a month for 24 months for the second half. He said the contract only had Daylyt as the first battle and the rest were blank. Shine has been willing to battle this whole time, but Daylyt battle fails because of Day. Jackboy battle fails because of Jackboy.

We now at the end of the contracted 2 year period, and URL are saying he still owes battles, since he only battled once or twice(Real Sikh?). During all this also, RBE was gonna pay Shine to battle Hollow 15k + 15k backend. URL paid 15k to Shine to not do the battle and now they trying to say that 15k was part of the contracted money.

I think some of that is Math clipped it up stupidly and part is Shine got legal stuff going on and cant legally discuss specifics (he said this in one of the clips) and the contract is worded weird. Then Shine said there were handshake deal shyt going on.
Like in the contract Eazy broke down. Eazy said it doesnt say specifically that they exclusive or not to battle at RBE. But has wording like "you cant battle another URL battler in a 3 round 3 minute format on other leagues." Then on the lawyer letter URL posted, it said URL has to ok any non URL battles.
Then just like shine Ez said he had a handshake deal not to battle on RBE.
it sounds like he got all the money of the contract and they didn't get all of the battles. to my knowledge he didn't decline any battles that had motion to them. Him refusing to play ball after the Jakkboy fiasco would make it appear like he didn't hold up his deal.

for what it's worth, i don't think you're wrong; Its just when money seemed to be involved for his situation vs eazy's, he might look a way just by comparison.
Until something comes out that says Shine refused battles, I think he in the right in this situation.
Lets say I sign a contract with a painter to do 5 self portraits and I pay him salary over 2 years. If at the end of the 2 year period I havent been available (too busy or w/e) for the portraits, I gotta charge that to the game. I cant then be like he owe me 5 portraits and he owes me money, it's on me for not getting it done.

Remy/ARP offered to pay w/e Shine "owed" to get him out of the contract. He said he rejected their help because he doesnt "owe" anything.

Shine got himself looking crazy, if you’re referring to the MEO clips. People are in their anti URL bag, particularly on here, so he’ll get support, but he’s done a pretty terrible job of actually explaining his positions or showing he understands business at all from the videos I’ve seen.

Im all fine with arbitrary material, I actually prefer it tbh. But nikkas is delusional acting like Nitty is this multi faceted writer/battler. nikka is no more direct than Daylyt, JC, etc... Less actually.

ARP adresses Hollow @ 07:47
17:00
Hollow admitted to ARP to tweeting what he was being told by URL. To clean up their image, because he outed them blocking battles and his grievances with them publicly prior,
not because it wasn’t true like he said on the TL.



Hollow is losing his first battle off URL :francis:

Math was pandering too hard in that K-Shine interview. Went as far to say Lyor Cohen doesn't stand in front of his artist or call them out as if we didn't see him publicly chastise Young Thug and the Migos.

It was a "White way is the right way" attempt to get at Beasley that was factually wrong

:snoop:

WOW hollow deleted the tweet :mjlol:


I'm confused about this hollow shyt. Who's lying and about what?
Hollow: in 2019: URL paid me 26k to not battle on RBE, to block the Mook battle.
Kshine 2023: URL paid me 15k not to battle on RBE
Cassidy and Freeway was booked just so it didnt happen on RBE.
PiperBoy: URL looking funny, doing shady stuff. They blocking battles. Kshine said they paid him 15k to not go on RBE. Then they blocked Hollow battles. Then you got the cassidy situation.


Hollow makes a tweet at Piperboy calling him a liar. That URL never blocked his battles.

Battlerap fans unite and call out Hollow on his bullshyt, pulling receipts for posts and in battles where he straight up said URL blocked the battle on RBE.

ARP does a blog on the situation. Says hollow called him and apologized. Says he was asked by Beasley to make a tweet to defend URL since he went public in 2019 with the blocking story. Hollow says he made the tweet at Piperboy because it was multiple battles, it was just the one battle they block :mjlol:
