After all this drama I rewatched eazy vs geechi and I got give the W to the eazy bul. Outside of the Remy shyt geechi was meh, eazy had a good comeback to that and know the shyt he said about geechi case sounds fire
It's funny how people call adept a weirdo but eazy was saying the exact same thing.
This is the problem with this battle rap era, nikkas are too friendly/p*ssy behind the scenes. I bet just like Ave, nikkas will be scared to question the super Crip.

They shouldn’t even have one.
The matches aren’t there. The momentum isn’t there.
It was just be forced and dilute what is suppose to be the Super Bowl of battle rap.
URL probably don't have enough funding anymore to throw events like that. That's why they're so few and far apart.
They're probably keeping their head above water through the app, but that's not enough to sustain.
They need to find some new sponsorships or other avenues to generate money
If Smack and Beasley were smart, they would've sold URL at its height and stayed on as consultants owning some percentage of the company. Now they're gonna have to probably work dumb hard to bring the brands value back up enough for someone to want to buy it.

In the past, when the money wasn’t there, they would go hard on finding new talent and doing pgs. They didn’t really have to pay those guys.
I remember after SM3, they damn near spent the following year just throwing pgs. It was that class of Ty law, SNO, Danny Myers, KG, Jay Rell, Anubis, etc.
Those weren’t stage guys or anything, but they were able to make it work because they were just small room battles and the pgs were respected back then.
Their most effective approach since the pgs has retired is introducing talent through the UF tournament. They need to do this through YouTube.
The URL really needs to make a commitment to doing content for Youtube. How about freestyles, interviews, etc? Of course that would require actual work.

Well we see that URL's vision was short-sightedURL trying to maximize profits and minimize costs/risks
You need free mediums like YouTube and even Caffeine to showcase new stars. This app shyt has been overdone. What happens when matchups start to runout? There couldve been at least two new stars and two more strong talents, and tons of matchup combinations that would hold them over for the next year and a half. oh well

Hell the matchups have run out, Caffeine was a gift and a curse. We got full card events every damn week because they had to meet the content quota lol.

after all that loyalty talk, slowly but surely the url flag-bearers are either joining other non url approved cards (hitman) or crawling back to eazy the scab captain (danny, swamp).

random: i like arp's discussions, but his content has become unwatchable. the nigg talks about drake and kendrick every fukkin day. i get thats what's feeding his algorithm but i dont think he realizes how old and lame that shyt makes him look when im sure he believes he's staying up with "current" hiphop news. even these youngins (outside of the glazers) are sick of hearing about every micro transaction of this shyt. its fukkin ricos, murders and planes falling out the sky dog. this nigg eyes be lit up talking about fukkin drake every day. oh well, thats an unfollow.

Yep. All ARP does with his podcast is talk about the shyt all the other channels talk about, but he does it a day later than everyone else
