We really comparing Daylyt's antic using Drake at the height of the Meek Mill beef getting a Million views on DJ VLAD to Lux?

C'mon my nikka

We might as well compare URL's numbers to AHAT

Antic, trolling, the fukk I care how nikkas name it.

The nikka used a fake drake nikka on the song and named Drake in the feature
Dj put it up with World Premier as a misleading title to get views like he always does.
Mind you he did in at the height of the Drake / Meek Mill Beef
So ofcourse his dumbass fans gonna click on it regardless.

Him getting a million + views on DJ vlad's channel (which has a million subscribers) doesn't mean shyt (he's at 70K views on his own channel w/ the same song)

Breh, outside of battle rap, nobody gives a inch of a damn about either of these dudes. They music don't sell, they mixtapes flop even with big stars on it, they are never on the radio, and they don't have the star power to even open up for small time artist like joey bad ass etc. They can't put together a 10 city tour and fill even small clubs up. Their power is all in battle rap.

I'm not against a man earning his money but they are making the game stagnant and it's really hurting url. This will be the 3rd summer madness in a row where rumors of those 2 being on the card drew initial interest but just like before likely neither will be On the card which will damper the momentum of the event. Battle rap, url especially, need to move on from those 2 cause it's making them look bad.


Don't confuse the mesaage, I never said no one wanted to see them in the ring again, although I could care less, I'm fair enough to understand it's still a ton of battle rap fans stuck in the smack era and won't let it go enough to want to still see these 2. But at some point the game needs to flip and make them 2 need battle rap enough where they can get in the ring, or just go away. Cause for url rumors of match ups with them, radio interviews etc when we are not going to see them in the ring anytime soon is bad for fans. Just let them go industry hunt, and when they find out quick they have no legs in that game they will crawl back to battle rap. But that can't happen if the leagues mainly url continues to keep these dudes around enough to keep them talked about. Let them go.

They definitely need to let those nyggas go. The URL camp shouldn't mention them at all in interviews or on the war report. If asked by another platform, just give a short answer & move on.

I don't blame them for getting the most money possible. However, I still feel like they have lost sight of what battle rap is suppose to do. I feel like the exposure is more important than the money. If Total Slaughter never would have came, we wouldn't even be talking about Mook at all. That battle opened up the opportunity to do Gladiator school, get features from Snoop, etc.

I'm just trying to give them the large picture.

I get what some of yall are saying about lux & mook....well mainly lux cause nobody really care about Mook. Its a let down cause it was anticipated he'd return....it seemed set in stone which is fukked up. Idk what main event can make up for that...THIS soon. Should of just set it up in Dec. like Clips wanted....give him enough time to write his will out and get his funeral arrangements in order lol.

i think i proved my point. his numbers are peanuts. get the fukk outta here with this loaded lux is poppin outside of battle rap. no he isn't


Rite is uploaded twice, one is at 800k one is 400k. He has several other songs over 100k.
If you think 100k views for an indie artist video is peanuts you really know nothing about how the music game works. A guy like Homeboy Sandman does shows worldwide and doesn't have the views from his music videos that Lux does. So Lux is doing decent for himself, that's why he can hold out.
Get out of your feelings, stop crying about another man's money.

Mood and Lux need battle rap to stay relevant but they can get away with doing one battle a year because that's all it takes to keep their name buzzing enough. Mook does work with Dame, and I know him and his wife just opened up a new shop and they both can get money for walk through so and stuff like that. But they definitely need battle rap
