I've already said no 3 on here, and I agree on no 1. With the Norbes lawsuit hanging over their heads Smack may not want to put URLTV branding on new ventures.

I don't think they have paperwork to support the idea that Norbes was an employee & not a partner. And Norbes was always introduced as a partner, whether in interviews, in person, etc. The work that he was doing supports the idea he was a partner. The one time I met them, Beasley introduced him as a partner.

He's going to get paid, but what if the judge says he's entitled to partial ownership of the brand too? They have to brand their products something else. "Midnight Madness".... "Chrome 23"...... etc

exactly. Or he gets an injunction granted to halt or dissolve the business. I think we're headed there or what you just said. And I pray they're not using some conflict of interest ass Caffeine lawyer. I wouldn't be surprised tho. But yeah Norbes was talking heavy on some " oh..I'm GOING to win". It's wild bcuz they probably could have dropped Lux/Mook type bag early to get him to bow out prior to the lawsuit.

On Chris recent blog about organik saying url bit blackout for banned, chris mentioned one reason smack was mad is cause the battlers would ask smack for more money than kotd but isnt that only cause smack was the bigger company and could afford more? people try to hide behind that black business shyt but what about the black workers or private contractors ?

see now we gotta look at the details of all this from years prior. because between Mook saying what he got Smack when he battled Iron and DNA bringing in Harry as a sponsor (using those as examples), these battlers may have figured out something and approached other leagues like KOTD with different numbers.

Exactly, I’ve been sayin this FOR YEARS.

nikkas don’t hate oppression/the system like that.
They just don’t like not bein on the controlling end of it.
The second they have the opportunity
they turn around and oppressor OTHER nikkaS that are smaller than them.

And the crazy part is, nikkas on the sideline will actually champion that shyt :dead:

And the second CAPS or Chris Unbias say sumn about it. Dumb nikkas in the comments like:
“T-t-they just hatin on URL :mjcry:

The whole idea of bein a fan and still bein able to think and be critical is unimaginable to them.

If URL blocked that shyt, it’s Pure Koonery.

Whenever URL’s feet got held to the fire it’s “b-b-but we’re a BLACK business y’all :mjcry:

But they’ll turn around and do shyt like this to ANOTHER Black business and hide behind “it’s just business”

And nikkas will actually defend that shyt thinking they’re smart smh

If true, that woulda been “business” but it would be the total opposite of that “Black business” smoke they continuously blow towards Battlerap fans

He been saying from the door that MM came to be from talks him, Surf, and Beasley were having. Surf countered by denying URL was ever involved, obviously that's not true
so basically it was gonna be honest business, Surf went and did his usual bozo mind control behavior, got Beasley and co. on board, then proceeded to lie and paint this picture like he was doing something he wasn't


battle rap never stops being weird :dead: I really don't know how nikkas like Verb and Goodz stayed around for so long, second them cameras cut they be wantin nothin to do wit these nikkas

The bolded aint just battle rap :sas2:

But I digress, I don't have issue with URL using KOTD ideas and rebranding them... BUT I thought it was 'follow the innovators not the imitators, ya heard'
