They're no longer an independent entity

Yep i saw that on the caffeine site

"Red Bull TV, DreamHack, Riot Games, Fox Sports, and Faceit logos, and brands are property of their respective owners."

When that conflict of interest starts hittin believe companies who buy you out are just gonna let you rock forever no questions asked brehs




Also twork's implosion (cuz it's definitely gonna happen) is gonna be a super quick overnight thing

To be fair, with the way Norbes talks to and about people, him getting stomped out like that (again) was inevitable anyway.

To be even more fair, no respectable business puts up with shyt like this, regardless if it was justified by man code

And i also hope they have clauses against choking and rapping for less time than you were paid now.

If the unprofessional nikkas don't get weeded out eventually these new investors gonna get tired of the juelzing and pull out

No matter how many moves forward they make with marketing and finding money of the actually battlers and staff dont evolve with it this shyt will never reach max potential

That shyt would backfire. I dont really see how you can control choking anyway to the point where it could be penalized. Choking isn't always a preparation thing anyway, it's just one of those things that happens, at any live performance type of thing.

The rapping less than the time limit I can see getting penalized for, but then you're gonna end up with more guys doing the Verb/K shyt where they won't even rap one second past the limit since they're not only not getting paid for it, they get penalized with the reverse.

You could always just do the logical thing and simply not book the guys who consistently fall short with the chokes if they feel it's that serious but obviously that's not gonna happen.

My Norbes reference was simply talking about Norbes himself. I'm not saying Twork shouldn't face consequences.

I might be late but I just read somewhere that Serius Jones is locked up?

Saw the rbe trailer. I didn’t really like the way 40 delivered his material. Having said that, it was a very short clip. I’m now interested just based on the responses from the battle.

Literally everything Ill Will stated he needed to work on, was evident in that clip. None of this is surprising, as it’s his first battle in this era, but if he really needs that much work, I don’t see how he could have won the battle. However, I won’t know until it’s released.

There should have been a framework put in place from the Math vs Dose situation.

These guys are getting paid nice 4 & 5 figure sums to spit bars, professionalism should have been mandated from day, long before caffeine got involved.

Both sides (URL & the battle rappers) are equally at fault

I wouldn't say equally, but I agree there should have been something concrete put in place.
No one should be wondering whether or not there will be repercussions… and there should be some idea of what those will be to deter this kind of behavior.


That said, Twork seems like a completely lost nikka with talent. I don't see him leaving the fukkery alone any time soon.

40 cal link anyone? Pm me

I was counting down in my head when it would happen and who would do it. I was wondering if Danny was gonna flex his old boxing skills on Norbes one day since low key hates on him. Lol. As much as Norbes rides whatever wave coming in, I didn't expect Twork to be the one either.

I was listening to Battle Truth recap Geechi vs Twork (don’t judge me) and Drizzy from Black Compass called in and he was saying he knew about the Norbes and Twork drama from like 6 weeks ago. He said that day was the first time Twork saw Norbes since whatever happened happened. So it wasn’t recent events that caused it but he said Norbes had it coming.

Either way, Smack should ban Twork for a full year. And Norbes should be demoted even further.

 

[superchoops]

I get what people are saying about Twork but idk man. shyt sounds like extenuating circumstances to me.

If the new era is going to have actual disciplinary action and award professionalism, Geechi bout to eat, people like Verb/Dna should get more plates, and i have to wonder if they gonna do somethin bout Ars showin that shyt on his phone

I’m still trying to figure out what does Norbes actually do now. Once he moved to Atlanta, his role has really been diminished, from the outside looking in.

The whole Black Market team pretty much handles what Norbes use to do as far as finding new talent. That whole old War Report team elevated and surpassed Norbes in every way.

Norbes has let his weight get extremely out of control. He’s bigger then ever. He can’t do any media stuff, because he isn’t camera ready and Champion is the better option.

I know he’s put together the last two born legacy cards. What else is he doing? It isn’t like he contributes to the app. He makes content for himself.

I couldn’t imagine having an issue with a nygga nearly 15 years younger then me. What type of shyt is that?

Snitch and get 5 years brehs.
