How much longer does battle rap have left?

Well it's always gonna be around and have an audience. But as far as it expanding right now, that shyt dead bro. People invested in it, and see the money isn't really there. It's a niche market.

I love battle rap, but it's been boring for a minute now. Not enough grudge matches, or memorable matches. Even battles like Ave and Rum Nitty, I don't go back to like I use to. Most of the time now, I watch battles from the 2010-2012 era. I rarely re-watch new joints.

Verb won't do it cuz he's the type of nikka who likes being around bottomfeeders to make himself seem big

notice what happens when he gets in an argument with Lux, a nikka with common sense, he got bodied

if Verb and Beas had a debate live on cam/radio he'd get bodied

it's much easier for him to stay small time and just out-argue dumb nikkas like Caps and Danny Myers
Verb is very Joe Budden-ish in this regard.

2010 - 2012 was the height of battle rap especially 2011 - 2012. Everything from the PGs to Summer Madness were chock full of stellar matches

Joe Budden hustles. He will do whatever from mixtapes, solo projects, groups projects, rap battle, reality tv, podcasts, etc.

That is the blueprint Verb should try to follow.

Imagine Verb on Love & Hiphop:mjlol:

That sad thing is that Verb does all that. He's in a movie, he's put out music, he battles frequently, he might still promote events, and he is trying to create his own reality tv show "Girlfriends Weekly"...

But it just seems like everything he does is half ass, so nothing really blows people away.

Remember when he was training to be a boxer or fighter of some sort.... what happened to that?

So Verb is a hustler, but he's a two bit hustler who likes to peddle knockoffs to fools.
