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

[JuvenileHell]

Can we all agree that the best thing to come out of that "Bodied" movie was showing us the potential in Lux and Hollow teaming up? The rest of that movie is so cringe It didn't feel authentic at all also hate the premise of some uppity white kid discovering the world of battle rap and being some tourist. At least in 8 mile Eminem was in the trenches and came up out of the mud.

A movie about modern battle rap I feel should mirror the life story of Chess.

I'm sure Surf is doing fine independently, but I still find it odd how none of these nyggas are trying to sign him. I'm not saying he should sign, I'm just saying why aren't nyggas trying?

He already has a solid fanbase, street credibility, females like him, etc.

The shyt is just bizarre to me. He's beyond the whole "he's just a battle rapper." This a new era that shyt is dying out.

He seems like the type of nygga 50 would want. One could argue 50 doesn't focus music, but he'll sign people he likes (Uncle Murda, Rotimi).

I'm looking forward to his collaboration with Mozzy.

I couldn't even get through the movie man. I cut it off after 10 mins.

I respect them going this route than the other route

Only thing is, some of these guys if they lose might as well retire. They won't be able to come back from a loss in the boxing ring.

I dunno, I still think it's the "battle rapper" stigma. I agree that it's dying out but its the only reason I could see why Surf isn't signed, yet Surf can hang around celebrities...from Chris Brown to Snoop to Budden...Surf could've easily have been on some industry plant shyt. I feel if he wasn't known also as a top battler he would've gotten signed.

**puts on tin foil hoodie**

It could also be that artists like Surf who are lyricists and can make good music are seen as a threat. This is a sentiment that I see a lot of battle rappers share, Verb and Goodz I think mentioned this too. If a trend of battle rappers coming over and outdoing the "industry" rappers becomes a thing, that could raise the bar again in the mainstream.

Bruh when I saw who the main character was and saw some of the battles the only thing I could think was "MAN THIS AIN'T WHAT WE DO! " shyt felt so sanitized and try hard

Lol at being a Hart stan. It just sounds funny when said out loud, But i have no problem admitting Hart is one of my favorite battle rappers male or female. So if it makes it seem like im a stan I legit think she is undefeated.


Obviously when i say "Battled everyone" it means they battled everyone that makes sense. You literally are proving my point with hart. There is not one female in the game that will help her career out at this point. Hart and QB will never battle. They both said as such. You acknowledging the fact that these are "step downs" but still think thats the best route then her getting on the URL roster??

Official already battled Chayna. Official also said she would no longer take Bonnie after it came out she has a ghost writer. Myverse and Phara are bodies waiting to happen. You know that and i know that.

What female deserves a Jaz battle at this point other then Couture? You looking at it from strictly a casuals point of view when we both know you know more then that. Jaz is literally second in the game only to Lux when it comes to playing up her "status" This is the same chick who decided it's better to take a 2v2 against 2 girls she already battle then go against a Tori or a Myverse. You know damn well Jaz is never taking a "step down" battle

Hustle herself said 40 is the only name that makes sense for her and this was BEFORE Summer Impact. She just said literally last week she's never gonna battle 40 now after what she did.

I already spoke about Bonnie in my last post. Her ghostwriting shyt being found left alot of people not wanting to battle her. Jaz Offical and Hart all said they wouldn't battle her after that.

Why is Myverse even in these discussions? People hype her up just cause of how good she looks. This is the same girl who lost to Melato Black and Cee. The hell did Myverse do to deserve to be in the same conversation as Jaz Official Hart and Hustle? Hell Tori and Shooney could Dub a Myverse battle and no one would bat a eye.

You are literally putting matchups together for the simple fact that they have no one left to battle on their skill level. When u do that u get shyt like this.




But according to you this is better then Hart getting a URL run?? No one wants to see Hart or Jaz Or Hustle or Official waste bars on girls they have no business going against in the first place just for the simple fact that they are a girl.

Also you have to realize that Hart herself WANTS to battle dudes at this point in her career cause she herself believes excatly what were all saying. None of these girls can fukk with her. You haven't seen Hart against another female since the Ms Miami battle.


Im not against a Hart vs Shooney battle though just to reward the work Shooney been putting in over the years. She legit went from bottom 5 to top 10 in a span of 2 years.


With all that said!! Hart 2-1!!

So predictable

I'll keep this as short as possible, because I am not finna go back and forth over Ehart (and these other girls), nor pick apart everything you just typed.

I knew as soon as I listed opponents she could battle, you would immediately dismiss them. She would generate more views and attention battling her peers as opposed to battling nyggas like Moon and Drugz on small leagues.

You're not even being realistic here. E hart getting a run on the URL? The URL may showcase females like once a year. I''m over here talking about realistic scenarios. You're over there in fantasy land talking about Ehart vs Mr Wavy on the URL. As long as QOTR is around, females will not have much of a role on the URL.

Therefore, I believe E hart battling another female on QOTR does more for her career then battling guys on these small leagues. QOTR has a fanbase that will support if you book the names. You're saying "well the battles don't make sense." So many battles are booked that don't make sense. Ms Fit vs Phara seemed pretty random to me, and it produced an entertaining battle that is already at 800k.

Why are you taking battlers serious when they say "I'll never battle ______?" It's just shyt talking. If a league approaches them about a battle, if the money is right, they'll do it. You're very naive to think otherwise.

Is Bangz still active?

If so, I’d like to see him battle Brizz.

 

[stepbackj34spud]

What do y’all have as battle of the year? I’m talking about battles that were good/dog fights on both sides, not just one person putting on a classic performances.

For me it’s probably Roc vs Bad News, Clips vs Twerk or Clips vs Math.

Roc and Bad Newz is mine but with it being a one rounder I kinda disqualify it. Surf and Gotti is up there.

So Ill vs Rex is disqualified from any goat battle discussions? nikka please. And stop trying to insert Surf into everything.
