You haven't realized that Caffeine is team Quantity over Quality yet??

I'm not complaining but this feels like over saturation and unlike most of 2020 things are open again.
Caffeine needs something else to pop. And I'm guessing the dancing contest didn't do too well. Maybe the world series of spades show might do it.

It’ll be fine breh. If URL is holding second halves guys are less likely to choke and bring trash anyway since money is the motivator. Battle rap isn’t close to being over saturated yet, it’s just not the same as it was which is throwing a lot of hardcore fans off.

Massa Smack doing too much. A lot of these niccas just battled. Short prep equals a bunch of half ass material. Card looks wack af

idk this Traffic card has been in the making for a while. some people on this card were teasing being on Traffic back in September/October. this shyt been booked
And is this actually a Caffeine event? Thought this was app-only with a crowd like Civil War. Don't see Caffeine anywhere on that flyer and i dont recall smack saying anything about it last night

Still, like this card for the rising class and the important folk who need to battle down for the culture to potentially make new stars (rum and danny)

They need to start putting the UM4 nikkas in rotation. Slade, MVP, Real Name Brandon etc,

UM4 class is :trash:

I completely understand the hesitation.

When I was watching that class, I was thinking the URL would have been better off doing a tournament with existing known talent that have gotten lost in the shuffle. A tournament with nyggas like danja zone, both qp’s. Nyggas that been complaining like Gwitty and Brooklyn Carter. That shyt would have been way better then the shyt we got from UM4. He’ll throw in that nygga Hennyman.

These guys aren’t new, but you can definitely repackage them, as they’ve never made an impact on the url. That caffeine audience wouldn’t know them.

I feel you but they can only get better with repetition. I think Slade, MVP and Brandon at least deserve some lower card looks

i also don’t think it’s possible to do a 16 man tournament with unknown nyggas every year. There’s no way you are going to find 16 quality new battlers in one year. They should have waited until 2022 to try a new class imo. There were just too many wack nyggas. We gotta have some quality control.
