Clips has more followers on twitter

That's gotta mean something, no? Not sure how else you'd want to measure it

The problem with twitter is followers can be bought.

I'll use Math as an example. About a year ago, he had 35k followers. Over the course of 2 days, he added 20k followers & Diz called him out on it. It's corny, but I guess you gotta do what you have to.

So now, Math has more followers than guys like Diz, K-Shine, Hitman, etc

If Math never did that, I would say it's fair to say his real number of followers would probably be close to Verb's imo.

You can always go to Twitter Audit to find out how many followers are fake/real for anybody

Yeah Con is on a whole 'nother level as far as popularity goes. He's an actual celebrity at this point.

And if you want to keep it all the way real, Surf is more popular than Clips too... :sas2:

Facts. Conceited has more IG followers than Hitman, Mook and Surf put together. And Hitman and Mook at about 100K.

and yeah Surf is definitely more popular than Clips and Hollow.

I can't front that battle of the mixtape shyt that Angryfan Radio is doing is fire.

Yeah it's dope idea. The way they did it made me analyze what I liked and didn't like about each track.

Bigg K's bars were stupid, but the actual beat he rapped on didn't do much for me. I don't know if that reflects his taste in beats, or if it's just that particular beat I didn't like. That Bigg K/Hanz joint will probably be ridiculous.

The vibe of the Math track was ill. Initially I though the hook was kinda gay (I'm an old head) but it really clicks with the song and it stuck in my head afterwards. The beat was really hypnotic.

Gist's freestyles had wild bars, and Jag's track may have been the best put together out of all of them.

Man I'm telling you URL has all the power behind their brand.. If they just took a chance with actually nice emcees and dope matches, that shyt would be a success. If URL markets anything the way they did RvV that shyt would do well no matter who is on the card. Stop paying for these overpriced and overhyped vets.

URL is is giving their fans what they want, when Smack based an entire Summer Madness on the concept of bars over names, everyone bytched and complained because Lux vs hollow wasn't on the card. URL fans wanted names, so now he's giving it to them :manny:

The only thing I remember is people complaining about LuxvHollow, SM being in the fall and Smack waiting forever to drop the matchups. As far as names are concerned, that card was just like any other Smack card, it was just marketed poorly.
