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

[MJ Truth]

Surf has 3 battles in a month.

Hitman or Con would never do that. Someone who cares about the brand just wouldn't do it. Anyone who books 3 battles in a month needs to do it. Hitman or Con don't need to do that.

Are you trying to tell me Hitman and Conceited haven't/wouldn't make clearly strictly money moves that do nothing to enhance their standing in battle rap?

No

What I am saying is at this particular point in time, they don't have to.

Here is the U Dubb card

So when Conceited and Hitman take battles that don't make any real logical sense, it's just because they wanted to? Or they got an offer too good to resist? Or what? Because neither of their recent history has been any type of brand building.

What would make Surf taking a battle against Suge for the money worse than Hitman taking a battle against a cat fresh off of a prison stint?

he only thing Surf had the whole battle was the Pau/Howard scheme which won him the first, and "pass the glock to Foxx" in the third.

Con clearly took the first. Best round of the battle imo. Con came out the gate swinging with that forrest gump/crip bar and took off in the first.

Surf had some dope shyt specially in the first but Con was just too much that battle. Classic battle imo.

Hitman & Con are the 2 biggest names in battle rap.

I don't view Surf on the same level of popularity. We are going to agree to disagree.

Are Hitman and Con even the two biggest names in battle rap? Or are they the two biggest names that happen to battle rap? Because there's actually a difference there.

Edit: And I'm not even saying they're not, they're certainly two of the most popular. But they're definitely not on some completely other level than the rest of these very popular cats. That Wild N Out viewership doesn't really translate to battle rap shyt like y'all seem to just assume.

So Rum vs Ty Law going down on UDubb. I think them nikkas are average but that's a nice match up, as both of them have cringworthy wordplay.

you just got omar'd

If you aint with it
then nikka do something
in a instant tools dumping

I hope Arsonal comes barking. That Tay Roc/Ars is really a perfect type of matchup.
I'll watch Surf vs Sug, but I don't think I care about it much. Grudge match be damned.
Red v. Magic can end up a classic or a fukking letdown. Hoping for the former

its kinda funny Chilla turned down the 8K to battle Verb because he didn't wanna ruin his chances of being on SM
battled Arcane and i'm sure didn't get no where near 8k for it
And now SM isn't happening

Chilla's multiple inconsistent performances is what will keep him off the next big URL card. They gave him a chance to make a push after he killed Prep, it didn't work out.

vs Saga
vs Cortez
2 on 2 with Magic

Good performances in those battles would have set him up for a big URL card, whenever that happens.

I'm pretty sure he knew what was up after the Cortez battle didn't get a good reception.

IMO Hitman is the biggest name in battle rap. You put Hitman on a card and the internet is lit for a few days. No one else has that "it" IMO.

 

[dappadonna]

Arsonal vs Tay Rock

Arsonal vs Tay Rock

I hope it's not wasted with 2 min rounds

I like this battle better on a platform like RBE or Black Ice.

U Dubb is a joke.

I'm telling you guys right now. That UDubb event & that Mr Fab event are going to be trash.

Does anyone else wonder how much longer battle rap will keep your attention? It's in a weird space. The top tier guys, the talent that got us interested are trash. The newer talent don't really have the "it" factor and have too many similarities.

nikka we already know.
If it's not URL, RBE, KOTD or even BBBL's production, I don't want to see the battle.

I'm glad too see somebody else finally admitting that the top tier nikkas are trash tho. We still have too many of those die hard day 1 URL nikkas that would pay to see and get hype for a Con vs Calicoe type matchup.
