First off, its dope to see CAPS is doing better. He seems to be in better spirits and he is killin' it with these blogs in the hospital.
But with what was mainly said in this blog tho...CAPS buggin' a little bit but technically...he had somewhat of a point.
But us the fans...we're not havin' it for real.
If Surf can't get out, Bad News takes his place? Ehhhh....nah.....

Has RBE given up on developing its own roster?:jbhmm:
Once Boom got locked up and Showoff got sent to the upside down, its seems like they gave up on developing RBE talent.

RBE has been making some good moves of late but not growing their own talent would be a big mistake in the long run.

URL was at a point before were new matchups were getting scarce and then went on a heavy talent development plan and thats allowing them to prosper now. KOTD on the other hand has not been developing and keeping their own talent which is why the KOTD title match is gonna be Chilla Jones vs Real Deal...

RBE still has their own talent, y'all just don't watch them :yeshrug:

To a degree, that's true. I do wish more of the guys that were in the SK1s got some more shine or were able to make the SK1s something to really check for. I think Floss Da Boss had and still has the potential. However, they did take a good portion of the guys who were either just running from league to league to get a bag or just couldn't back on URL because of a prior battle.

Not really. ARP has said many times that RBE isn’t a league. It’s a platform to showcase battles.

I personally believe he just puts together battles that he wants to see from the lower level to the top tier battles.

I think he stopped giving a fukk about building talent a long time ago. He has too big of an ego to be a feeder league to the URL. RBE has resurrected careers just to see guys run to the URL.

RBE doesn’t really put together enough events anymore to really build talent. Nowadays, they go for bigger events that results in fewer cards. They use to be more active.
