Unpopular Opinions About Battle Rap
I stand corrected and you're right. I remember they had a beef with PPV and held off from doing it because of the money or the bootlegs.

LMAO URL has you nikkas fooled into thinking they didn't profit from ppv. The two times they did PPV, the events were sold out.. So how exactly did they get screwed from the extra ppv money?
Pretty much.
Also Smack felt some kind of way about the general public viewing the footage w/o URL being able to edit it
It was both
Smack gave mixed messages about the PPV profits
After NOME 5 Smack said the PPV money wasn't lucrative for them. I specifically remember him saying they wouldn't do another PPV
... Then they turned around and did a PPV for SM5.
My guess is expectations fell short but they did make some good bread off the PPVs. They just don't want battlers to know that, because the inflated prices these guys are asking for would only go up. They didn't even announce they were doing a PPV for SM5 until like a week or two before the event. Really seems like URL likes keeping their talent in the dark
Every business that loses money to bootlegging is prone to complain about it in their own way. Anyway they don't cry poverty, they more so whine about battlers & fans in their pockets. The same fans that steal a PPV will turn around and calculate all your profits, it's a pretty interesting phenomenon.

Wouldnt of ever happened if people didnt start exposing the costs of business
Mook permanently fukked up the game
nobody be on his neck for it thoIt's beyond "feeling some kind of way". Less than a week ago we established that the most seminal Smack URL battle was HEAVILY edited. But a few days later we are undermining the whole presentation process, and think Smack should just let the footage go As-is (PPV footage gets bootlegged immediately) if he can make a couple extra dollars off of it. As we know, any league can host these battles, but it's the presentation that really solidifies each particular brand. That PPV money is short term money, the edited version of Loaded Lux v Calicoe is likely way more valuable to them than the PPV profits made off of Clips/Hollow & Clips/Lux.

battling really creates some delusional ass thinking
