The Danny Myers slander is unwarranted. If you ever meet the dude, you get the feeling that he lives for battle rap. That he loves it more than anybody. He's keeping it alive and that's more than a message board post is worth.
But I agree, URL west has work to do. You have to understand that the west coast culture itself is TOTALLY different from the east coast. There's not really the industry out here to support a battle rap league. AHAT events is literally 100% rappers in the building, it's a weird atmosphere. I honestly think it has a lot of potential just based on the fact that no one is doing it right out here! If somebody managed a league properly, it would blow AHAT and whatever else out of the water. OD basically charges people to get in and he has his camera crew all set up so he gets his content. But he doesn't care about the state of battle rap, it's purely financial for him. So it almost works for him to build up his league like he does, and make it more of a "shyt ANYBODY can get on AHAT" type thing, because at the end of the day, everybody is his customers. OD's like yeah you can get your battle in no problem, cuz everybody pays to get in.
