Blac making T*ch 9 a regular on CHAMPION was one of the worst things he did.
Most will say “Tech brought entertainment.
You need an antagonist to do numbers”
My reply to that is: That’s the problem. Why do you need anybody bringing blatant bad takes to a platform that’s designed to bring credibility and structure to a culture, to cater to YOUR ignorant view of entertainment? All because y’all are addicted to nikkas yellin at eachother and bein in conflict instead of building through organized debate between knowledgeable panel members.
Entertainment would’ve been inevitable and came naturally when we factor in the outcome of well constructed critique and rankings etc to help push the artform forward.
Especially considering JayBlac
Already had the credibility.
Already had the notoriety.
Already did the numbers.
He didn’t NEED these bad takes diluting The authenticity of the artform on his platform.
Well informed credible takes would sell CHAMPION by itself because of the money incentive + the cultural value he offered on top of everything mentioned prior.
When Chris Unbias did stock drop lists they impacted the culture structure wise and they did numbers too because of the respect his knowledge commanded, same thing.
I hope Blac goes back to the drawing board with who he chooses to be panel members and trims the fat after this year’s COTY.

Beautiful display of objectivity
