Random note, but its a damn shame what happened to Yung Ill. From his entrance into URL, he faced Calicoe, Tsu Surf, DNA, Rich Dollaz, Conceited and T Rex with NO clear losses, and he beat Hitman on StreetStatus before all that too. It wasnt even a gradual fall off either, dude was on fire up until the Cortez battle and then all off a sudden lost his shyt. He did aight vs Clips and Shine when he returned, but it was never the same :to:
That Ored battle was just said. I could never look at ill the same again.

tbh this blog beef shyt is slightly entertaining to me :manny:

is it corny? Yea, but after a long day of work, sometimes I just wanna sit back and look at fukkery
battle rap really is wwe, a lot of shyt you can see it takes talent to put on that show, but some things are just foolish, but you still watch for the fukkery lol

I think URL should chill on signing more people to contracts, if they can get the current SDH crop to sign since they did theirs already, focus on them and the ones they have signed.

Young X had 2 battles and disappeared
Sno disappeared for a minute

This will be 3 pg classes that can all battle with each other to gain noteriety and popularity. And it'll save URL some money to book them rather than paying these vets who openly admits to half assing battles

I definitely agree with you. They should develop what they have, but they aren't gonna do that.

The PG's is nothing but a hustle. It's just a way for the URL to get free content. They don't use none of those nyggas.

Knowing this, I kind of wish the pg battles where like they where in 2013. Those pg battles where just bars. Some high quality pg battles that year. It just showed the URL could put on the best small room battles that would put other leagues to shame if they wanted, because they have access to talent all over.

I don't fully understand what the hell they are trying to do with the PG's. The best thing I can come up with is, that they are casting a super wide net and waiting for that next "one" that comes up and pushes battlerap forward a little more. Otherwise they are just half assing the effort to turn new talent into true talent and replace the divas currently on the top. I don't really get it.. Is it that they don't have the voice strong enough to tell the (casual) fan what to like, or that they don't really have the long term plan to put new talent on their main events?

Either way it's beyond stale and starting to get moldy. I don't want to see Verb, DNA, Hitman, Clips, etc at any more than one major even and maybe one off event on URL in any future years.

PG's is just a way to get free content until their big events.

The reality of it is you aren't gonna come across too many guys that can entertain hundreds of people. When they do finally get guys who are able to do it (Bigg K, Ill Will) they have a falling out with them.

That's my problem with Trez. He has no believability.

Is Craig even getting a pg? It's obvious he's a small room guy. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't get one.

craig newer than trez and fliiko so I doubt It would be any time soon, depends if smack was fukkin wit him in that triple threat I guess, he's a danny myers type of rapper so he'll cap out at mid tier if he brings 3 rounds consistently
