The only match on the riot card that is surprising is Real Name Brandon Vs Fonz. That’s a battle the URL would do.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all of the URL purchased the battle or worked out an arrangement with Geechi to acquire the footage.

Day is what Prodigy called Keith Murray :mjlol:but I'm not going to lie I watch some of his shyt because his takes be off the wall but sometimes his predictions or assements be on point

Edit: Also watching the battle again Geechi/Lux....yeah I think Lux needs to go back to the drawing board..he's doing that shyt again that I don't like which is saying "nikka" or adlibing after a bar..it ruins the rhythm for me

Aviator hat with goggle Lux would have been a better match against Geechi

It’s a shame because I absolutely believe this.

It’s one thing to have New Era vs Legends on some competitive shyt. But it’s corny if it turns into straight hating.

I can somewhat understand when it Happens to Mook but Lux shows everyone love so it’s corny when they try to front on him like that.

It is what it is. Something about hip hop (and the Black community in general a lot of times) makes this young generation vs old generation thing more than it’s supposed to be. And battle rap also has a thing where the active battlers (and fans) rail against the guys who battle infrequently. It’s the angle Verb took against both Mook and Lux, to great support.

You really saw this shyt when Cass came back to battle Goodz though, where all of the

URL called Mickey Factz to battle B Dot on the Drake card.

Mickey declined the battle because he gave ARP and B Dot his word that he’d battle him on RBE.

Said B Dot blew up in the meantime and ended up giving his word to URL, so that’s why it hasn’t happened yet

I respect his stance

PS: Danny woulda been COTY if he listened to Mickey’s marketingplan smh :snoop:

Squid games...
I have a question
How would you all feel if battlers HAD to plug in a current event (into their bars) because of sponsoring? You would think Hwang and Netflix was in the building. I know current event bars is nothing new but ya know...can current event bars still be creative or is it :manny: status?

As pretentious as it might sound, it would cheapen & distill br and accelerate its demise

The ‘bag’ always has an unaccounted price

Sounds like Lux is a great rapper...I'd never tell him to give it up :hubie:

yeah, just because he had a bad game or took a loss doesn’t mean he needs to give up. Lux is a great lyricist who has worked on his craft well; homie had a bad night. besides, everyone in this shyt takes Ls. even the fans.
