They most likely are, but it's still a mistake.
If u don’t value your product neither will your consumers
Strategic, and it’s keeps them from being dependent on google
Them going the app route kills two birds with one stone
YouTube watchers will probably never buy the app or go to an event, URL is only catering to people that are more than casual fans

I disagree. A slow trickle to YT is basically advertising that pays you. Especially the new guys. Moat people have zero clue who they are, and/or don't care. How else are casuals and non-fans supposed to be converted?

I have no idea why Lord Jamar was even at the face off. He clearly says here he doesn’t even follow it like that, which is why his perspective is so outdated.

Cas said he released several albums the last 6 months. I don’t understand why he doesn’t promote his music the way he does these battles.

Especially the part about battle rappers not being good at making rap music. The majority of battlers who make music nowadays are actually good at it...Surf, Twork, Shine, Geechi, Rum, Chess, Ave, Roc, Swamp, EZ, T-Top...and that’s just off top.

In fact, they make better music than Cassidy does now.

This was exactly the main thing I was referring to in my mind when I said outdated.

We all know that “can’t make music” to someone like Lord Jamar means can’t rap over beats. I heard him say this a few months ago on his show.

They are beyond that at this point. Now, if you don’t like the music, that’s one thing, but to imply they can’t rap over beats is an argument that has been over.
