Daylyt jus tweeted he no longer wants anything to do with hiphop...
Probably disgust at all the fukkery. Rats running wild, politics, trash "rappers" getting most of the shine, he's understandably frustrated








Or, this nikka trolling again :manny:

Am i the only one not watching any of these video battles?

shyt is stepped on, im good :hubie:

Nah its not just you

I tried to watch Bdot/Nitty because of the comments in here. Im watching Bdot go off in the 2nd, and the only thing im thinking is he shouldve saved this for a real battle. None of these "quarantine" wins or losses are gonna matter once real events resume.

But i guess the flipside though is a matchup like Bdot and Rum probably doesnt even get booked to begin with if everything was still the same

Yea i have a hard time believing both artists are actually trying


The situation just lends itself to dude who would never get that look going 110% while the bigger artists is just fukkin around, saving their best shyt for when this is over

Thats why i aint bother

Half of these are gonna turn into rematches when shyt opens back up anyway

I feel like it depends tho. Do you mean the RBE Quarantine joints or the joints SMACK URL got on the app? Because on the app, the Quarantine battles are teasers to see if these battles can be on the bigger stages once places are able to have bigger events. The RBE joints....yeah I can understand because they're not saying all that. Unless you like some creative and scenic visuals to match up with content, I can see you not wanting to check them out. I think its helped RBE level up some more because they dropped them back to back and still had content from their last big event. And SMACK URL is able to keep the content coming with their paying subscribers.

Nope. Not rockin' with y'all on that. We can agree to disagree. Look, they got it in, they got paid for the battles, certain folks got flown from point A to point B, and they are documented. Crowd or not. Event or no event. It's there. It's there for everyone to see. I guess maybe I just go by a battle being battle and that's it. All this well it didn't count because there isn't a event poppin' shyt don't mean anything to me. I mean, the league recorded it, sponsored it, and put it out to the public for consumption. Just what I'm seeing,

Tomorrow isn't promised. There may not be a "real event" for who knows how long bro. 5 months ago who would've guessed we'd be here? A year from now the whole world may be shut down for something else. We don't know anymore. They gotta get what they can get.

And while I definitely prefer settings with fans, I'm really over large crowd battles. Events with a lot of people almost always come out lackluster. I think Volume settings are the best kinda PPVs. What we have now is probably closer to that, than stage battles, which is why I probably enjoy them.

Facts these battles definitely count. I don't care about "This ain't a real battle" battlers trying to use as an excuse for a loss. You wrote your rounds, you won or lost. None of this other shyt.

I agree 100%. Can';t give these battlers any more reason to slack during a fukking pandemic. I mean damn, at least we should hold them accountable for how they perform for these quarantine battles.

unless it's Lux. if Lux loses in a quarantine battle I'll give him a pass :troll: He needs to be in the mountains to prepare :troll:

LMAO

But yeah if anything, they should be more prepared because they have no excuse of "crowd throwing me off" etc...people who aren't performing well are the ones who aren't good lyricist/rappers. It's exposing the nikkas who rely on everything but actually battle rapping.
