Its wild to me that someone that did well against Verb and Goodz didnt immediately get a URL look. Wish the best for him.

Right? That's wild to me. But he is a part of Go-Rilla Warfare and you know they had an old beef with URL from before. Might be all forgotten about and forgiven tho too.

But I'm pissed he's battling Marv Won...my nikka. Marv is one of my personal favorites just battling and making music. But this dude, Gauge....I want to see him go far in the game. Ah man.

Every time Hollow speaks he shows how much of a bytch ass Hoe he is. Glad Math violated him in that battle. Dont post contracts like a scorned bytch, then take it down like "I was in my feelings". nikka a hoe

RBE vs URL is starting to feeling like WWF vs WCW in the 90s. All it would take is one or 2 elite stars to jump ship and things will get interesting.

And on top of that, how the fukk are we gonna get another Loaded Hollows battle if Hollow does some shyt like this?

These nikkas tried this same shyt about six years ago and forced Smack to get on his "bars over names" shyt.

What an idiot like Hollow doesn't realize is the game done changed since then. That filling venues shyt is out the door now. That views shyt is out the door too. The only thing these vets have now is legacy and how they choose to adapt to these changes.
The app and caffeine changed the whole landscape.

The funny thing is that he was potentially onto something if he kept it strictly about publishing and residuals. URL have used footage from previous battles for adverts by Caffeine/BET and I doubt the battlers used in said footage received compensation for that (which would have strengthened his discussion around who owns the IP of a battler’s verse and licensing rights) but he’s just not educated on the situation enough to make a valid argument.

There’s even something to be said about the URL hosting all of their battles on the app and safeguarding their analytics which can prevent battlers from being able to quantify their influence and use it to determine their asking prices as well as leverage endorsements outside of URL. They would need some real qualified music/tech lawyers to get involved because these guys are just winging it.

All the extra stuff about leagues paying for people’s rent or shyt like that is stupid and not business. Ironically, it’s behaviour like that leads to dodgy paperwork and battlers losing out on backend money because they view the URL staff as “family.”
The labor situation should have been sorted before a deal with a wealthy third party was struck but now it’s too late. Battlers gonna be playing catch-up and :feedme: forever if it’s Murdoch lawyers vs Hollow’s Instagram ruminations

Nah breh. Smack is a brand. URL is a brand. It would take a lot more than a couple of guys known for battling on URL to battle on RBE for things to get "interesting".

You know that Uncle you have at the family reunion that is cool as fukk no matter what he does? That's who Gauge reminds me of. Or maybe he says a lot of shyt the same way Sugafree would talk. I dunno. But yeah, Gauge is fiyah.

Waaaaay too late for anything of the sort to happen. The Monday night wars ended years ago when URL gave street battles a home and GrindTime folded.

RBE/KOTD are just some Ring of Honor, AEW ass nikkas
