Essential The Official Battle Rap Random Thoughts Thread (URL, KOTD, UW etc...)
- Thread starter Brooklynzson
- Start date
Key words *same day* They were probably already on thier way to the event when they got news (at least Rex anyway). Probably not even 2 seconds outside the venue.

Its not like NY or NJ is perfect either.
K Shine - started fights/chokes/no shows
Math Hoffa - started fights/chokes/no shows
Mook - hasn't battled in years and ask for crazy amounts of money so now he has more interviews than battles
Rex - recycled mixtape verses for so many battles/has pulled no shows
Arsonal - chokes/pulls out phone in the middle of the battle
Tsu Surf - talked major crazy like he was the best and got served by Aye Verb
DNA - shows up on every card but not every battle/plays politics
Clips - half asses it more than he should be
Suge - before he even recently became one of the bigger names would choke and claim he doesn't care (see Bill Collector battle)
Serius Jones - as good as he is can be delusional and causes issues
DOT - once people stopped finding him funny, the game threw him to the wolves
NuBorn - no matter how good he has gotten can't even shake the stigma that he has created for himself which is always begging for battles/lost to Sco (yeah i said it)
Cortez - either does well or poorly and no matter the fans and the game don't give him the credit he deserves
Waiting for the backlash on me and excuses for some of these to all of these on this one. I can't excuse the behaviors of all of STL but I still think they got some of the best talent in battle rap.

Every St. Louis rapper had a chance against at least one of these guys on the biggest stage and got body bagged.
Aye Verb got body bagged by Clips and Shine. Lost $12k to Rex, had a debatable with Ars. He did beat Math though.
Hitman had a classic round against Surf then got his ass kicked as normal. Now he's running from Suge.
Yung Ill lost to Shine, Rich Dolarz and DNA imo. Overrated, living off "who is this nikka?"
These STL dudes always come up short and blame it on something else. No battler is perfect but none of those guys no-showed on URL besides Shine and he made up for it later.
Even that Suge battle when he said he didn't care he still went off on Bill ("find out where Eric B and rock him!" "Streets ain't for everybody that's why you got your ass kicked on the sidewalk" "see Hitman and his brother? I would've fukked both them nikkas up, took both of em to the roof, made both them nikkas jump"

But Suge almost lost everything because of the BC battle and him doing that in the first round. Smack even had a blog or interview kind of talking about people not being prepared and it wasn't that long after that battle dropped.
Verb did lose a few. I give you that. But Shine did fukk up a events to with a few squabbles on the big stage. Like to the point where what happened with BL3 getting pushed back this year could've happened months before.
Like I said, I can't excuse their behaviors for everything but let's keep it a buck. All these nikkas be fukkin one way or another is my point. Thats why I can't do like y'all and just cape for every east coast favorite when them nikkas done shyt that was fukked up, too.

Update on the B Magic situation from Norbes. Sidenote: it sounds like Prep vs. Lotta Zay was crazy dope tho.
Swave talking his shyt now. Nitty part of Team Homi tho. *scratching my head*
I guess Guntitles would've made more sense but it should just be Surf and Roc.

All those people come to the venue and rap.

The only people he hasn't done with are probably Bigg K, Danny Myers, and X Factor. Can't front that fake battle with Danny Myers and his blog on X Factor losing to Goodz was hilarious.

True to a degree. Not every time and not everyone on that list does that. X-Factor vs. K-Shine never went down and X traveled up there to NY but Shine wasn't ready (don't gimme that "no one wants to see blah blah blah" shyt either). Rex and Danny re-scheduled the shyt damn 3 times on different leagues and Rex was no showing. Math vs. Thesaurus never went down and KOTD is looking at that funny and we'll probably never get a rematch of him vs. Serius Jones. DNA didn't show up against Dirtbag Dan (ok, he was legit sick but still) at the first Boston Massacre and Shine took his place and had to fill with members from NWX (and don't gimme that it wasn't on URL shyt either) and he had the terrible idea of battling on Skype against Troy Brown for a Don't Flop battle. The rest of them I can give you I guess, especially Cortez because he puts in work; he just has bad luck with the audience perception (I should've kept him off the list because he shows up).

*DOT voice* Didn't even catch that.
Isn't part of the reason this all started because Hitman tried to book Suge for their battle?
I'm just sayin'.
Hitman can't beat Suge, which is why he's asking for $30-40k.You don't even believe this
"Random: is Hitman Holla a punk or what?"
Nah breh all W's for ill. Dont forget he was considered top 5 at one stage for a reason.
They're all debatable but I leaned towards Rich and Shine. DNA could definitely go ill's way but I preferred DNA a little more
