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

[Momentum]

More b dot discussion huh

 

[Momentum]

So URL wouldn't benefit from throwing a battle?
nikkas wouldn't pay to see Saga vs B Dot?

Negus are just being contrarians.

I like how they straight ignored the Charron example too.

 

[Momentum]

How does B. Dot battling Saga without a PG (and potentially bodying him) benefit anyone BUT B. Dot? I don't see how that helps URL in any form.

How did Charron/Suge benefit URL?

 

[dennis roadman]

I only wanna see him battle lux or bigg k

And that's just for the angles, I respect his steez but I'm bored by him as a battler

I have a variety of intellectual pursuits, I don't look for them in smack/url

 

[Deadman187]

How did Charron/Suge benefit URL?

And the funny thing about that battle is they actually stole it from KOTD

[MicIsGod]

Lmfao cor ain't even ask the question

 

[MicIsGod]

Still don't get the bdot craze. Ny stage vs anyone who matters...he's losing. I hate y'all for liking him.

For the most part it's a business move. Letting B Dot skip the line & bounce after battling Saga (who they have invested in) does nothing for them. It actually hurts their system. They are trying to have the game on lock, that's why they are bringing a lot of the guys who didn't quite make it, back in the platform. Now it's about fighting your way to the top of the foodchain.

How did Charron/Suge benefit URL?

Took you awhile, but you finally landed on a something that supports your argument.
Charron/Suge contradicts their business model. I bet they never make a battle like that again, Charron would have to be under contract.
The only excuse I can make for URL was that they had a crop of shytty PGs that year. So they might have needed Charron's name to sell that bootleg Summer Madness warmup card. Suge also wasn't held in high regard back then. That was the beginning of his 2nd URL run. URL is more invested in Saga than they were in Suge at that time.

I had the better argument the whole time. Want to know why? Because its TH3 SAGA.

Apparently he needs to battle Snake Eyez, Repah Rell and Bangz before he can get anyone he wants from NY now that SMACK owns their souls.

The purpose of the PG's is to introduce that battler to the URL audience. The URL audience can spend up to $100 a ticket to get in the venue, so the audience needs to know who/what they are paying for. The URL has the gauge if the audience like that guy in the PG's to determine whether he should advance further.

You have to understand that the guys like us on the forums, groups, etc are the minority. There is a large audience that only watch the URL. Therefore, despite B Dot's solid views in a lower tier league, there are fans that have never heard of him. I will give you an example. QP (son) has been battling forever & has battles that have generated more views than B Dot's battles. He was on a podcast a couple years back. The major of the people that called in had NEVER heard of the guy. You literally have people that only watch the URL. Don't make any assumption that the casual URL fan knows who B Dot is. There have been non URL vets from other leagues that have been on "street" style podcasts & the fans didn't know them.

I think a fair compromise would be for BDot to sign a 3-4 battle contract with the condition that he will get a Saga battle. He can't come in, potentially beat the Saga, & just leave. That makes no sense for the URL.

I didn't watch CAPS blog. I normally don't comment on something I haven't watched, but the guy is proven to be so dumb, that I doubt he understands why the URL would not even allow the battle.

I don't completely disagree with you but I will challenge a few of your points.
Yes there are people that only watch URL, but a lot of those people don't watch the PGS like that either. How many URL fans know who B Dot is, compared to the amount who know who Emerson Kennedy is? My guess would be B Dot is more well known. It doesn't make sense for B DOT to battle someone like Ryda, and I don't see someone like Jerry Wess doing another PG. I think they should do B Dot like they did Rum Nitty. They give Nitty a One Off vs Steams so Nitty didn't have to do a PG. Tink wants to battle B Dot so you can have one off or put it on Born Legacy. Besides all that it's fukking Saga. Nobody is dieing to see a Saga battle. B Dot is the only battle I have heard people request for Saga.

 

[wizworld]

B Dot was offered Emerson Kennedy for his PG.

He also may have been offered A Ward.

Like or not, if B Dot signs with URL he probably won't see Saga until his 3rd or 4th battle.
To a B Dot fan, that may seem kinda fukked up. But that's the way things work over there, he ain't getting much in the way of special treatment. Complaining about it online won't change much, as Smack rarely does PPV.
Maybe he should get over battling Saga.

How did Charron/Suge benefit URL?

URL jacked that battle from KOTD. It was supposed to go down over there but Suge couldnt cross the border so Charron battled DNA instead.

And Charron kept calling Suge out. Even after the Arsonal incident. Remember he was calling him Shotgun Sugar t*ts.

URL knew it would be easy to book and already had decent demand/ momentum. It was also a good niche battle for them. So they made it happen. Remember it was the first battle they dropped from SM4/ SM4 warmup card. People wanted to see it.

Y'all be overthinking this sh1t sometimes. As much as I hate that Charron got a look on URL, it was a good crossover move for them. Frankly they should be bringing over more KOTD guys for one offs. No reason not to - they can parlay it into new followers. I think the two fan bases, while clearly distinctive, are less divided than it seems.
