Can def see why someone would be over Brizz/Mook happening...to much fukkery so it might be too late now to make that battle enticing for some. Me personally I'd still be hyped to see it but yeah, the shenanigans aren'/t helping.

Yea i don't see Goodz as being overprotective, he just didn't turn into a month to month battler like everyone else tried to do. there never was a "pay verb" or "2 round clips" version of Goodz career ever. he takes battles when he wants, respectfully has 3 rounds remembered, and just in general moves more like someone who isn't living off of battle rap paychecks. And when he DOES critique other people from the sidelines i dont see him spending mad time on it like alot of others.


as good as Jaz is i dont give a fukk about seeing her. will diss everyone in the world but not spit a single bar for years.

same with Brizz

same with Lux

all bozos i don't care about seeing.


what we actually get from their battles is not enough to warrant the amount of pump faking and posturing we see from them :camby: alot of it just comes off as them saving face so when they go to contract negotiations they can talk a certain way, but that just falls back to battle rap immaturity IMO






geechi's work ethic REALLY tossed 99% of battlers excuses for shyt in the bushes if we being honest but I'm just rambling now :pachaha:fukk you gotta be overprotective for if you actually take your job seriously, remember the rounds and give us quality material?
I kinda get that but Geechi is also just repackaging the same shyt over and over to us. I don’t think he’s the best comparison. But he’s mastered it.

I have to actually see Lux vs Daylyt announced before I believe that battle will happen. I think if Lux wanted it to happen, it would happen.

I can’t be the only one who low key thinks Lux waits for certain battles to go cold. I think the public will demand for certain battles like a JC or Daylyt, but instead of jumping on these battles when it’s hot, he falls back, it gets cold, and it doesn’t happen.

We’re talking about a guy that will jump on a hot battle asap (hollow, Charlie, surf).

Goodz to me is the smartest. Because even if he takes a battle that may not make sense for him, he knows to do it on a league where nobody cares about the outcome and it doesn't matter. And he makes sure to take all the big battles on URL. Even when he battled on RBE, he knew to take people who don't matter.

He has broken down how he goes about battling before and it made sense. He doesn’t want to oversaturate himself but at the same time…knows when to pop back out there and get it in. That’s why I wasn’t too mad about him not battling Math right off the back. He had said it before how he moves and I respect it. Plus, he got products out based on battle rap that no one has really tried which is pretty fukking smart.

Mickey recently said back in 2017 when JC battle was at it's peak, Lux asked him "Should I battle JC" and Mickey said yeah. Then Lux said "Aight if he beats Illmac on RBE, I'll take him" and once he lost, Lux was like "I'm cool". Then I think he gave Jc another chance, and then JC lost two more times after that so he was cool.

I think Lux wants to battle Daylyt. I don't think he ever wanted to battle JC.

all we get is repackaged gun bars by most of these nikkas anyway, literally

that's what's supposed to make it difficult IMO and only a handful of nikkas consistently pass that challenge even tho EVERYONE has the talent to do it

Being protective of your brand still matters. There's a lot of battlers with Geechi's worth ethic (Danny Myers, JC, Cortez, A Ward, etc..) they all put on solid to great performances every time out, and none of them are remotely close to Geechi name brand wise or status. So you can't say being overprotective is an excuse and that if a battler gives quality performances that battling a lot won't hurt them. That's simply not true. We've seen it. Geechi is more of an anomaly than the blueprint.

The URL latched on the Geechi as their main gunner once Twork became a liability. That's why he's been rewarded and his trajectory has gone how it's gone.

For someone like Goodz, he gives himself the ability to get bags from any league while at the same time maintaining his status on URL, so when he finally returns his name is still intact. The others will take battles and have debatable or lose to no-name/or big name nikkas on off-brand leagues, battle for little money, get little to no views and then come back to URL thinking URL about to give them whoever they want just because they put some metaphors together well. That's not how this works.

Goodz battles Gauge on Gorilla Warfare and gets 800K
Danny battles Mega Savage on Gorilla Warfare and 33K

There's a reason why Goodz comes back and main events and Danny still gotta battle these barely out the Crucible type nikkas.

I think Lux wants to battle Daylyt. I don't think he ever wanted to battle JC.

The time would have been right after summer madness, when JC beat Rum Nitty. That’s when you step in and make it happen , but as you said, I don’t think he ever had interest in battling Lux.

Daylyt? Again the time would have been after SM, when he beat Roc. The shyt is getting cold.

Im just going off his actions.

I think the issue with Daylyt before was Lux being hesitant and unsure of how serious Daylyt actually was.

That, and the fact that they both want to do the battle on their own terms, without a league in order to get the most bread, but don’t really have the infrastructure in place to do it. I’m pretty sure if they both were to just accept the battle being on URL (or another league I suppose) without question this battle would have gotten done this year. The way they’ve both talked about doing the battle, they would have to both be business partners and then battle.

had to pause right there, you just named a bunch of people who shot themselves in the foot repeatedly when it mattered in their careers. so no they didn't put on solid to great performances every time out and that's exactly why they aren't close. Yall were just saying how Lux looked at JC against illmac/twork etc. and didn't wanna battle him anymore, that was his own fault, we aint see gotti do that.

The man paid attention to any complaints fans had and adjusted his style accordingly for the most part. JC had fans rallying against him for his style change that ended up getting him beatend and moved out the paint. Cortez still making the same mistakes being corny and unlikable in ugly losses, Danny Myers giving concrete carl 3 crazy rounds then crying telling Smack he's tired because he decided to battle every week. A ward has no impact and doesn't seem to be doing anything to create a situation to prove that he is that, luckily gotti is letting him get a rematch, maybe he can do something.

these nikkas all did it to themselves by not paying attention and takin the shyt seriously every time and imo that's work ethic :manny: the ONLY anomaly about gotti imo is he had the certified crip gangbangin west coast background before he started this. Can't recreate that
