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

[FreshAIG]

Smack said Ultimate Madness 1 and 2 winners are gonna be in the Ultimate Madness 3 tourney

He also said the bag for UM 3 is a different type of bag.

This is awful

I used to always shake my head when Smack and them would say "We not making that much money from Youtube". I know how Youtube analytics work, they were getting a shyt load of money and still are from their old content. Youtube got more strict with content and yellow marking more things, so that probably plays a factor into why they stopped uploading there (besides just the app), but they made millions off Youtube. Trust me.

Hollow said Lux told him after the Surf battle “I’m not doing this again”

I wonder if he means Caffeine battles or dealing with URL in general.

I believe the heart of ppl like Hollow is in the right place but hearing some of these battlers talk “Business” is so cringeworthy to me sometimes smh

Hollow: SMACK should give these battlers lawyers to deal with them

Me: uhmmmmm, conflict of interest?

Hollow: SMACK shoulda told em to stop the GoFundMe and offered to cover Twork’s bill, he’s their star

Me: uhmmmmm, SMACK and Beasley are NOT his father.
And what about all the BLACK league owners Twork finessed? No mention of any of that

It’s just weird imo

He made great points about the importance of residuals tho

I just started this video. This is way better then the video Hollow put out and you really understand his perspective way more.

I know this in the past but they also knew Magic wasn't coming battle Ave the first time. Same with the JC and Lost battle. URL is always trying defecate someones image.

As they should. It's a decent deterrent. And it's not like Smack and them are forcing these guys to accept battles that they're later going to flake on.

 

[MJ Truth]

And I'm gonna keep saying it....they're still trying to compete with Twitch.

You got stock in Twitch or KOTD or something?

Facts, he raised some good points but he’s asking for things that are just not reasonable.

Get a rent free condo for a battler? If they pay you $15-25k in cash for one battle, that’s at minimum 6 months rent the way these guys live for the most part.

If Beasley offered to pay their rent for a year instead of a cash purse, the battlers themselves would turn it down lol.

I do understand residuals but that’s something that has to be negotiated. It’s uncharted territory for the most part.

Agreed. I thought he articulated himself and made better points here.

I think he wants Daylyt to be empty room but maybe you're right.

After watching them recently, I have a hot take/unpopular opinion

Saga vs Prep > Ave vs Rum Nitty
