It might piss you off or give you incentive to cop it. Just sayin'. Hell, its not like you can't get it anytime or cancel it anytime either. What else could they do? I figure if they have gotten into the zone with the apps, they're going to get more on their merch game maybe. Discounts on that shyt, too. I am not first person that has mentioned that either mind you. But its true. You can be pissed if you want and stop buying the PPVs but its not like they won't still sell the PPVs either for those who don't have the app.



Kind of my thinking, too. I feel like we have more of the type of fans in here who are invested in battle rap than the ones who pop out whenever they see Cassidy, Jae Millz, or Murda Mook show up on a card. Every 5 to 10 years or so. Lol.

I meant the "retroactive perks" thing. If they stop bluffing and make it a better value proposition between the app and PPV, I'm in. I'm just mot impressed enough yo give them another 100 a year just because.

You're really mad at Smack & 'em for trying to capitalise on 20+ years worth of work huh? It was cool when it's free and on Youtube but let them try and eat and it's different. Hope you keep this same energy for Netflix, Amazon, Apple etc

Dude said he won't be 'fooled by these tactics' as if running a premium SVOD service is a nefarious act :deadrose:

Not mad. Indifferent mostly, though I don't like the BS Beasley keeps spinning when asked about the double dipping and (very very lightly) getting called out on their shyt.

And yes, I keep it the same always:

Hacked Spotify
No cable
No Netflix
Nvidia Shield with Kodi and APKs

All I pay for is cable. I get my Xbox Live with Bing search points. But I buy PPVs from all three major leagues, and go to events when feasible. I'm not that cheap, I just don't like feeling like I got beat. The app, as it stands now, is just okay, TO ME. Between not having choice or notice on what is dropping, and RNT, I don't see the value besides just "supporting", but I already support with my PPV/ticket money.

Lastly, to directly refute what you said, taking away the ONE free battle and making a TRAILER premium is nefarious, in my opinion. That's that bullshyt.

EDIT: That alleged Summer Impact card is fire except for The Goonies:hhh:

Any uk heads copped the app? Can’t seem to find an option to purchase the subscription.

I’m willing to bet the majority of the people who get the app most likely purchase the PPV’s.

obviously that doesn’t mean they purchase every single event. However, for someone that does, they still have the VOD on watch battle live. Therefore, why would they get excitement when they drop Todd vs O-Red or Geechi vs Arsonal?

I’m just nitpicking, after all it’s just 8 bucks a month right ?

Anticipated Beasley response

Beasley - hey guys you spent the money to go see the avengers right? you got your popcorn, took your girl, and went to see it. It drops on Netflix, you still watch it right ? But with the url, it’s different. It’s *nerdy fan voice* “oh my god, these url guys.”

If I'm Debo, I'd try to recruit this Che Noir chick from Buffalo to QOTR. Listened to a couple songs cuz she had a 38 spesh feature and I feel like it'd help both of em.

I think battle rap in general should recruit more rap artists, and I referring to up and coming guys as opposed to old washed up guys.

For example, E class from the hoodies. I think it would actually enhance his popularity if he battles. Him and his brother have outgrown rapping in the car. Maybe get young poppa to battle too.

I like Beasley, but he's full of shyt:pachaha:

Probably scared to get exposed, or damaged from a loss. They should though.

She is definitely nice. She is especially good at spitting pain raps. I’m not sure if she would be good at spitting battle bars though.

Geechi and Chess do a lot of those bars. I think QOTR would appreciate that. Her testing herself in a battle environment could help her as an artist/brand imo.

I’m still upset that the URL don’t have a PayPal options with the app. Until then I might just fukk with Watch Battle Rap Live VODs.
