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

[H. Selassie]

I get URL’s perspective. In business, you strive to dominate competitors. It’s not Walmart’s responsibility to make the game fair for local grocery stores.

I don’t think ARP is being disingenuous. He’s a businessman too. Him convincing battle rappers that they have the leverage makes it easier for him to compete.

I agree 100% with this. It's why APR has to take that stance. My point is that he has to. If everyone was locked up in URL contracts he'd be out of business.

I agree with everything he’s saying…especially how it should be the battlers and not the leagues controlling the culture and how deciding to battle on a certain platform shouldn’t exclude you from ever battling on another.

So do you believe professional wrestlers, that are also independent contractors, should be free to wrestle on different platforms week to week? Wrestle on wwe today, aew next week, nxt the next week, etc?

 

[theflyest]

It would be silly as hell for the URL to put these upcoming battlers on UM4, and after the tournament, just allow them to battle on RBE.


Also, the reason the url had to create these contracts is because the battlers were choking everywhere. People have a very short memory.

ARP relies on url talent to book battles. Do you think he would even have an interest in AVE vs Bigg K if AVE didn’t go through the url program?

This whole Hitman/Byron Blake thing is silly

I feel like Byron’s version is closest to the truth but none of it matters and he’s trying to get clout off Hitman’s name.

I agree

I don’t think either guy is lying, just giving their interpretation of what happened. It’s very easy to pick apart someone like Hitman, because i don’t think he bothers to remember all the details. Nygga don’t remember shyt lol

Regardless, Byron is lying saying he isn’t using this to get clout, when clearly he is. He’s really blogging about a situation that had nothing to do with him.

Call me what you want, but there's something about 99% of white battlers that makes it hard for me to get into their style.

I don’t believe anything they say.

Early Bigg K is an exception. The pre KOTD Bigg K. After he started exclusively batting on KOTD, he adapted to that crowd and has been kind of corny ever since IMO.
