He didn’t say anything wrong, 🫡.

Bout to go back to top tiers getting like 5-7k, mids getting like a rack and a bottle…and low tier nigs getting like $250, or nothing besides the look/attention that comes with being on URL. Gotta belt tighten, shh real out here. Only Hitman and Mook sniffing that 20-30 anymore, imo

Mook will get that because of his legacy but Lux is way bigger than Mook when it comes to numbers. Lux averages 3.3 Million views since his return in 2012. Mook don't even average half that.

Fire…sometimes Averages don’t really adequately gauge what something is hitting for in the present tho. Lux was part of/created probably the biggest, most viral battle rap experience ever off that Calicoe body…he’s still riding what’s left of that wave respectfully…you think he can get numbers with just anybody like a Hitman tho? Hitman can battle me and it’s gonna get a million …just sayin. Lux vs, let’s say, Bigg K…I don’t think it’d even do 750k. There’s a reason Lux makes it known he ain’t battling you if you ain’t up there and on fire and one of them ones…he knows his averages too, lol, that’s why he was pining for that Hitman smoke so bad even tho it’s clearly a “bad” battle

I think he can do numbers with anyone honestly. Lux name holds a lot of weight and gets views, not just battle rap.

Put it like this, Lux Hot 97 Freestyle is almost 5.6 million views. Hitman got a freestyle with Nick Cannon, and the rest of the Wild N Out Crew that dropped a year before Lux's freestyle and is at 1 million.

Lux averages more views per battle since he returned than everyone, including Hitman. If we start from 2012 and on. I'm not saying Hitman isn't a much bigger star than Lux, he 1000% percent is. But when it comes to rap related content, Lux gets more views on average.

Highest viewed battle in URL history is Hitman vs Surf at 9.7 Million. Second is Lux vs Clips at 9 Million. And the Lux and Clip's battle dropped a year after the Hitman vs Surf battle, so they had a year head start. I wouldn't be surprised if Lux and Clips eventually eclipses them.

I blame URL the most for the fall off of battle rap

Enabling battlers to be lazy in prep, marketing, and advertisement (chess and twork im looking at yall)
Enabling another company to overpay your battlers to spite other leagues and keep them from same leagues
Enabling APP over everything
Then they have the NERVE to be on some 'im broke baby' nah MF's want to suppress wages and costs by any means possible

That's why P so important man does a LOT for URL, keeping costs down further while maximizing profits, and yea thats what employers do but they can't talk out both sides of they mouth.

John Reel (as he always does) broke they BS down down.

So does this mean Cassidy not gonna get another 100k? Is that Cass/Freeway battle still happening?

 

[dutchie]

That's why P so important man does a LOT for URL,

[EzekelRAGE]
