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

[Reptile]

RIP Dilla no disrespect to that man he a goat but

Lux & Black Milk......even though all the verses been recycled for years thats besides the point. When they both was on Sway in the morning after Sm2, Lux danced all over them beats especially "When it all falls" (the last beat played)

If I remember correctly, he even expressed an interest in working with Lux in that clip. The thing with Lux is that I don't think he has any interest in making that type of music. Ironically, he would be a bigger artist if he made that type of music.

If Lux would have done that Primo album in 2014, he would have been better off for it. You start there and slowly start to expand your sound. Instead, he comes up with these corny ass attempts at mainstream success. As a result, his own battle rap fans aren't trying to hear his music.

Such a corny debate. Surf/Jakkboy acting like URL is a fair league. You get battles based on your relationships with Beasley/Smack esp those on contract.

Now all of a sudden Jayblac Champion of the Year matters to them..

 

[FreshAIG]

Alchemist really fukked with Hollow, as he produced a couple of songs for him. If Hollow were a better artist, there is a possibility there could have been a Hollow project produced by Alchemist IMO. Lux & Primo almost happened.

I bring up this question, who is a battler and a producer you would like to see create a project together?

Lux and Harry Fraud

Lux and Madlib

I heard this whole thing yesterday, and they're right. Jay Blac is lying saying if RBE threw more events than URL, the champion of the year wouldn't need a URL battle. CAP.

Champion is basically a URL platform, but for business purposes Jay Blac has to act like he's impartial and cover other leagues just to be on the safe side in case him and URL ever have a falling out.

It’a not that.

Making URL, a COMPANY the end all be of a CULTURE is anti-progressive and anti-cultural.

Surf is slick saying “To be COTY you need a battle on URL”

Anyone that loves Battlerap as a culture should cringe at that statement in an attempt to let URL monopolize Battlerap.

Because those that follow URL know that 9/10 they require battlers to sign a longterm deal with them in order to even appear on their platform, X’ing out other Battlerap platforms.

This would mean that by accepting that you would give URL the leverage to put battlers in worse contracts they already have.

Chris Unbias and Piperboy to name a few broke that thing down in their videos.

Spanish Harlem already proved they’re shady business tactics to strangle battlers in contracts they don’t fulfill.

These are real lives we’re talking about.
Giving a league the power to just give a battler 1 battle and just sit at home doin nuffin because “they don’t like that you talked a media platform” ain’t it

I think Surf's point is because URL is the biggest brand, that you would need a battle on there to win an award on a platform like Champion, which is basically a URL affiliated program/channel.

I wouldn't call URL a monopoly or anything close to it really. A Monopoly would make it where no one else can compete in the market, and therefore URL is creating astronomical price points for events or PPVs or apps, etc...They don't do any of that. Battlers battle on other leagues all the time. If you're under a URL contract, obviously you won't be able to battle on direct competition platform, but you can still battle.

Now what they are is petty and vindictive, I'll give you that. But pretty much all CEOs and higher ups are, that's not unique to URL.

Nah you buggin fam, Lux has come up with some dope joints musically. "Gravy" was probably the best single he's come up with to push on the radio so far. He pushed that one the most. It was catchy, smooth, had a "feel good" vibe, the hook was solid, and could easily be played at family bbq's.

He's come a loooooong way from the songs he use to drop on Undeniable Tv.

[superchoops]

is Ward wrong tho?

P told Ward "I'm interested in your matchup vs Fonz to see where you stand on here" and that was before Fonz came up on Lu Castro

URL or at least P definitely has a "suck our dikk or you won't get booked" vibe to em and its weird as shyt . That Spanish Harlem incident, as well as the Gwitty/High Stakes card was nasty work. Also P getting off the live, coming back and offering JC as an opponent was no better. Glad someone told that nikka to stop getting on the lives because he was nothing but detrimental

He has made good songs sure, but overall he makes bad projects

Aye Verb & J.U.S.T.I.C.E League or Aye Verb and Bink would be a classic

Lux & The Soul Council would be fire as well.
