No, it's so Footz could beat him and the Lux battle will go in the shadows. Giving a top tier battler 90 seconds to rap versus their opponent 3:30 is crazy.

I think both things can be true. Lowering his stock so the Lux battle looks less attractive and saving some money because itā€™s a non-Caffeine event.

Itā€˜s gotten to the point where these top tier battle rappers really need to have management. If I was a rapper, the only time I would be talking to Smack, Beasley, P, etc personally would be when Iā€™m at the event about to rap. The type of ā€œnegotiationsā€ these man talk about would never happen with me.

215 Uptown!
Swamp/Trez is fire on both sides. Dope ass battle!
Trez Leonidas rebuttal was ridiculous. Swamp pandemic bar was ridiculous
Trez 2-1 2nd and 3rd. Swamp got the first.

Anybody think Eazy and Nitewing have a similar cadence? Nitewing is way way better bar wise imo but that ā€˜say some dope shyt then donā€™t pause after it, just say ā€œnikkaā€ and keep going into the next bar over the reactionā€™ flowā€¦that shyt makes it sound even harder.

Taking that Footz battle was a stupid decision, therefore he made his bed so sleep :yeshrug:

Nitty lost?

How is it a stupid decision? What effect is it gonna have on Nitty whatsoever? None, take a poll and Iā€™m sure heā€™ll still be the consensus #1 in the game just like he was before the battle, šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø. The only thing a loss would do is give Lux a fake but sounds real ass excuse to use for not wanting to battle him lol.

This is one of the reasons battle rap will remain stagnant for the foreseeable future. If losses mean nothing, how can there be an established tier system? Not directed at you, but we live in a goofy era.

Battle rap is about being a draw like anything else
The most skilled rappers donā€™t sell the most music or pack the most shows
Its a popular contest

right

nobody looked at mr wavy beating twork and said "man i gotta watch mr wavy now"

holmzie won a tournament and nobody cared

tru foe beat geechi in a tournament setting and eazy still offered that nikka 1500 to battle on the trenches card and he accepted it

there's a reason you see most of the same names atop these big cards

Gotta agree. Same reasons why I'm never drawn to watch a chilla battle and why I've soured on JC as he's reached final form Crackhead.
