Some of the stuff on here :ehh: ok Cass.

He needs to perform properly next time. Mix up his flow a bit. Actually pay attention to how you control a crowd.

I hate hearing Joe Budden podcast talk about battle rap.

How are you talking about the Goodz/Cass battle and NOT know it was on URL.

That should be the first thing you see when you even google it .

I know they admit to be casuals but even a casual should at least know certain facts to discuss anything they casually enjoy

young, the battle rap crowd's desire to have a "moment" is ruining these battles. nikkas be so ready to chant 3-0 or scream out ad-libs from the crowd it's wack af. "Leave em alone!!" and all that bama shyt. These nikkas really ain't listening for bars, they're listening for an opening to make noise. It's really weird.

Cass is right about the psychology behind it though. Having battle rappers sitting in the front row like that was very tactical. I've never liked Goodz and I think he's extremely overrated but he's such a savvy battler.

yeah bro it's annoying as shyt. too many wannabe Gwittys and Queenzflips and Jazes and Steams. i get they wanna support their friends but this aint your show fam

avocado should dedicate a camera to the crowd just to see all the dudes guilty of this. it's like someone in a stadium trying and failing to start a wave but with a dumbass expression on their face

Unfortunately that's the bad part of large crowds. All it takes really is for 2 boos to set off a lot of boos. I've been live where people booed bars, not because it was bad but because the person next to them booed. Same with cheers. I've seen people lose their mind for a bar, I missed the bar and would ask the person next to me going off "What he say?" and they'd tell me "I don't know, I think he said something like..." not even knowing. nikkas just want to be heard. It's annoying but there's really nothing you can do. Any time you're in a big crowd like that, that's gonna happen

That's why I lowkey hope these PPVs turn into a streaming service, so all these battles can be recorded in small rooms where we don't have to hear crowds ruin battles replay value.
