:camby:

I BEEN saying from the get go.

All this exclusive league shyt will RUIN battle rap.

Battler X is in this league... and Battler Y is in that league.

They could be down to battle but they CAN'T cause of POLITICS.

The FANS will be the ones that always lose.

And this ain't just about B.Dot/Saga cause I'm tight about 2 of my faves in Chilla and Hitman not being able to battle.

HELL, IM STILL TIGHT FEDOR NEVER BATTLED IN THE UFC :mjcry:

URL did it because they had no choice.

What matchups has it ruined?

Why do you keep saying Hitman vs Chilla?

Why am I arguing with someone I have never seen in here?

Ill watch damn near anything, but the BDot Saga battle isn't one of those matchup where I'm like "this is going to be FIRE"..but I always say it, I'd love to be wrong.

:stopitslime:



It'd be entertaining. But I'd be surprised.
Word, VERY surprised. I could only see it going in th3 saga's favor if bdot is wholly unprepared to defend himself and is 100% offense. It's one thing to come out the gate screaming fast on an obvious angle and another to be backed down by someone who might study his as much as you study yours

It's not gonna be like those polight/rozenberg "debates" because the rabbi doesn't care to convert anyone, he just wants those man to know that black people and his people are closer than the nu-covenant might think. Saga being chose as an easy target for bdot should rile him up as a rapper

Oh and NWX might just write all his bars too :heh:

You are completely oblivious as to how the URL does business.

The Saga battles on the URL exclusively. He is a guy that the URL has invested in, building up his profile for almost 2 years now. He has a christian fan base and his own lane.

@T-K-G @wizworld

You can not talk business here. These people are fans & just want to see the battles. They don't really put too much thought into how realistic these matches are.

And there you have it. See that's the problem. What's more important? Siding with a battle rap league? Or siding with a battle rapper? Or battle rap in general? You obviously care about the business and it is business. However, if Hitman isn't getting the looks he wants for something he wants to put together, he do what he gotta do. Hell, if it was such a big fukkin' deal, why didn't SMACK URL go after Bullpen League when TODD got that shyt poppin'? I look at it like this......URL is the top league but let's face it.....they can't make every battle happen. Nor are they willing to. So a league who can step in and do it, shyt, it is what it is. I still look at it like there was the culture of battle rap before there were leagues and businesses. So generally, we all want the same thing. To see battle rap progress in its competitive nature as it always has.

Also I keep mentioning Chilla and Hitman because Hitman tried to get Chilla to Battle on another leaugue and Chilla WANTED to do it but couldn't cause of his situation with Smack :snoop:

Hitman actually might have been trying to get Chilla to battle Verb. I can't remember either way it's bullshyt bruh.

I'm not siding with anyone.

I live in reality.

This is a business, therefore I view it as one.

Honestly, if you go out of your way to follow battle rap, boxing, etc the behind the stage politics are part of the game.

As far as Todd, he has a good relationship with everyone & is some how able to keep those relationships despite taking every good idea he comes across.

Hitman does not have a proven league.

I would rather battles like Verb/Chilla, Suge/Hitman to not happen than to come out on some league with some bullshyt audio/video. It's just too much of a risk.

Verb/Chilla is a realistic URL battle. Hell no I don't want that on Hitman's ball game league.

He gonna get on a URL stage and get cooked by a mid -tier and all this hoopla will die down

I like BDot, but I think it's more likely a URL stage performance ends up being underwhelming no matter how potent his bars are. It's kind of like Emerson Kennedy is now. He isn't wack by any means.. but his approach and style feels like a force-fit after 3 whole rounds of it.

No, that's one perspective; not a complete reality. You obviously said you can't talk business in here because there's too many fans. Ok, business then. If there's something in demand one business cannot provide, another business will try to accompany that. And that right there is what Hitman did. And I view it as a business to a degree, too. Same time, if URL can't provide that battle, they should've came up with some other shyt to top that which I figured they could do instead of the blocking shyt. Corny as it sounds, there is some culture to it as well and hell, some of us, fans would;ve appreciated it possibly. We can agree to disagree but you talk like you siding completely with the league. Would you be cool with this if other leagues did this as well? No matter how big or small the league is, would you be cool with it?

I don't really care if you think I'm siding with the league or not.

The fan in me doesn't want Hitman to have the battles, because they could turn out looking like the kingjuice battles for all i know. There where quite a few of us that where happy Hitman/Suge did not happen on Gorilla Warfare.

The contracts definitely don't bother me. There needs to be some type of quality control. It was exactly how yall nyggas wanted it just a few years back. Nyggas where free to battle anywhere. Nothing but terrible battles. So many dope battles on paper just turned out to be :trash:.

Guys going around being :trash: for a check.

I like when battle rappers are exclusive to a league. Look at the qp's. Best thing that ever happened to them was committing to black ice.

All the RBE guys take it seriously. The URL got more serious. SDH guys took it serious. WGH nyggas take it seriously. Whether you like the content or not.
