To be fair though, paying customers should be expecting battles from people they at least know. There's no point in having a lot of these lesser known battlers on the app instead of YouTube except to just fill a content minimum.

Oh i get it. Hell i have the app and can completely see being pissed if certain battles you wanna see not being dropped. I just wont take that shyt out on the new talent when their battles drop before the bigger battles. Its not their fault...thats on the league is what i am sayin'.

The thing is there should be other exclusive content like behind the scenes, interviews, music
I expect more but its still early in the development of the app so I'm hopeful the content they provide eventually expands

Nah it makes sense. Its just a risk they are taking to promote the new talent to their fanbase. Now the whole thing sitting on bigger battles and not releasing I don't agree with. And that makes not supportive of the names they don't know.
I disagree. Way more people would see them on YT. Filler. Plain and simple.

I dont have the app because i was afraid that they'll slack on the battles i wanna see (and i usually shell out for the ppv), but the biggest issue i see with the app is that everything is premium, down to the fukkin announcements. Getting the app is one thing, but its kinda weak that there's battles i'd never care about locked behind the paywall.

Some of these battles should at least be on a free tier in the app if you dont want to do some straight to Youtube shyt

Lastly, i think they should at least be doing one "Premium" battle a week to keep people happy. A top name weekly is better than me getting 3 battles with nikkas i never heard of that imma have 0 incentive/desire to check out.

URL got an app and fukked up the growth of battle rap when they gettin looks on bigger platforms and shyt. You hate to see it
