Back to Basics 1 was a really dope event. B2B2 was...forgettable. Damn near every battle was one-sided. The only two guys who really stepped up were Caddy Ron (who was on his shock bars game and had body of the night) and Only One (who raps really well...but has less focus on bars and more on rapping well). Of the match-ups that counted,

Diz sort of spazzed but was still on the sloppy delivery tip and managed to focus bars on Math, Organik, Daylyt, PH, his grandmother and the fans in a two round battle. His style sells really well against a Chilla but damn near all of his highlights were about other people.
Chilla had his moments but a disappointing performance after the Math battle where I thought he was able to hold his own even though the style clash favored Math.

Day vs Danja was Daylyt at his most average. Danja Zone did his thing, seemed like a clear win for him. Day was disappointing here.

JC vs Psycoses had my attention, but it's a pure style clash. I can see heads giving Psycoses the win because he throws flurries but where he had haymakers mixed in against Remy D, he didn't get the impact on his punches this time. He still does some things well and has potential but JC got that 2-1 or even 3-0 but not a body.

Remy D had a really great round in memory of PH. Chedda is a what you see is what you get cat. Weird battle because Remy went first and Chedda had to spit a typical round after the memorial bars for PH and it's hard to give Remy the win when he forfeited a round albeit for a great reason.

QP vs Bulletz was good. Bulletz has been surprisingly good lately (or I was just sleeping on him of past performances) and QP was vintage QP, pen game at a high level. That's the sleeper battle of the event. The crowd wasn't giving QP enough love (typical with his style) but overall, they both did their thing and did it well which is more than I can say for most of the match-ups.

I really like this series and the format because it lends itself to back and forth match-ups feeling like classics...but the battles have to be close. This time, putting up and comers against vets got most of the up and comers exposed and smashed on. They need more even match-ups rather than just throwing new guys to the wolves. The one vet to get smoked was Cutter and he's Cutter...he actually tried something new in his first but it flopped MISERABLY. It was a full round of a "so Organik hit me up" story...I mean, that's different, just not good at all. :wtb:

This interview is terrible so far. The real issue is they want Mook to come down on his price, but it only gets mentioned once or twice. Mook is willing to battle Surf (or Hollow), he had to tell Surf that they (Mook & URL) were negotiating the battle. Surf is trying to make Mook feel like he needs to battle him, obviously Mook isn't going for any of that. Surf tried to run with the "Drake said battle me, then you can battle him" but as Mook told him, that's not what Drake said. Drake said "We'll see", which means "Don't call me after you beat Surf, I'll be on tour in another continent getting bad reception".
Between Mook & Surf bouncing a bunch of corny sports metaphors back and forth, and Jesserican & Norbes throwing their two cents in, meh.
I'm hoping the part where Math comes on is more entertaining.

Surf kinda took some shots at Serius Jones, I want to see how that plays out....

Not sure how they are going to come up with a good card for Summer Madness at this point. They better figure out something though, they can't do bars over names again.

Really what's been "locked in" thus far?

Official v Ms Hustle - good matchup

K-Shine v Hitman possibly- we want Hitman v Suge, but this could be good.

lol is Danny Myers v Rex gonna be on there?

these random events popping up is gonna throw off match ups because sure Smack can book them for SM but if they have a battle a little before or after SM then their attention is gonna be divided and we get yet more subpar performances on a big stage.

I couldn't imagine the URL giving Danny Myers a slot on SM. That goes for any talent that isn't a URL regular or someone they haven't invested time in. They aren't gonna give them that type of look.

Did Jesse Rican join the war report?
