I’m sure the battlers would love to battle on RBE Max Out, but on the flip side, RBE doesn’t throw enough events to satisfy the battlers. There is no reason to damage the relationship with the URL. Surely Chris understands this right ? Lol

He’s lowkey been on some anti URL shyt lately and even the fans are noticing in the comments.

I’m sure people will be watching Hitman/Cass, but the allure of Cassidy in battle rap is long gone.

One of the first blogs he did when he came back goes into this a little bit. I think he felt a way not being welcomed back from them after he got out; but for real...shyt wasn't looking good and they're a business so you cannot expect them to hit you up if they're going to distance themselves. He doesn't outright say it but he does hint at it.

But the writing on the wall for real....that Norbes interview. By then, Chris knew what it was up and did what he wanted to do.

Right. If you haven't built up a name big enough like Hitman or Verb, creating bad energy with URL isn't a smart business plan. If RBE was a real league and threw a lot of events through the year, then okay. But they're more in the vein of UW or Gorilla Warfare than URL or KOTD.

I think that is the path KOTD should be doing. Try to put on 1 or 2 big, quality events a year instead of trying to be a “league.” Why not try to bring over Mook to battle a Pat Stay or Diz? I’m sure their fan base would love to see it. KOTD is notoriously cheap, but I’m sure if they committed to quality over quantity, they could put together a game plan.

RBE attempted the league thing and was like fukk that. They’re better off for it.

Whoa. They're not a real league? What is that supposed to mean? I dunno about all that. I get what you are saying but saying RBE isn't a real league is a pretty big stretch considering they are still here after 9 years now. Outlasting more than a few leagues at that.

Damn.

Guess it was one of those if a tree falls in the forest things for me.

Yeah...I wont lie...I tried to follow it as much as I could and didnt see maybe a third of the battles. The more Marv Won advanced, the more I watched tbh.

Yea it went on for a big chunk of the year iirc

Prize was 50k and it was judged the whole way

Right. I still feel a way about Saynt winning the judges vote like that but the votes had Marv winning. Saynt did his thing but I think Marv outclassed him in the first two rounds.

To be a league, you have to have your own talent IMO

When was the last time RBE had an event that didn't revolve around URL rappers?

What do you do when you work hard, build your own talent(showoff) then attempt to solidify him vs URL talent(o-red) and the face of your league gets his body bag put in a body bag?:jbhmm:
...and your other guy(jimz) gets slapped/punched on stage by goodz .





To a lesser degree, same thing happened with Bad Newz when he battled Roc.
