aw I hope its Bigg K vs Hitman. I cant wait to see the body Kenneth is gonna put him in :banderas:

I doubt Hitman does that battle. However, I do feel GW getting Bigg K on the card vs somebody would be a good move.

So he could've got 10k, and possibly hosted a party in NY Summer Madness weekend.

And now, nothing. But the short money he'll get for hosting parties anyway.

At this point the way y'all make it sound, why do Smack &them even run the URL if it's just whiny, egotistical artists and no profit involved? I guess fwiw they really do love "the culture"

Well I'll say this..... no one should question why the PG's are under exclusive contracts anymore. Unfortunately, they just haven't been able to produce another Holla/Surf/Calicoe/K-Shine etc yet.
URL really has to hope Chess & Wavy show out.

Dot is a little hitman at this point though. @Walt out here was trolling, but getting bodied was the best thing to happen to Dot.

Battle rap needs a new league, with some serious money. Not just rich guys looking to throw a shytty event every now and then (Ether) and bounce.

Exclusive contracts, judged battles and some kind of championship is necessary.

Also, they have to be willing to start completely fresh and use rappers who have never been on Smack or KOTD. We just need a complete reset with STRUCTURE at this point.

I've always clamored about the structure being needed (and got into countless arguments) but at this point the relationships are so bad I just don't know how you continue with the way its going. You need it damn near totally corporate where guys know they are being sued if they pull some funny shyt like breaching contracts and holding deposits.

The minute some corporate can sign 20-30 rappers exclusive and create a league, battle rap will be much better off.

The Summer Madness card that I was told is actually worse than the card y'all think it is lmao. Which is even more sad.

King Los vs. Charlie Clips (Still working on this, could end up being Clips vs. Goodz. Yes you read that correctly)
Tay Roc vs. JJDD
Verb vs. Suge
T-Top vs. T-Rex

goddamn thats even more awful, if thats the card I probably wont go and I always go

Roc shouldnt have to be reduced to favor battles for Smack.

I know Smack personally said he's gonna get JJDD more battles, but if someone isnt tryna battle him at SM, Then just wait for the next card

That's true.... but he's somewhere between Tech 9 and Hitman to me. Dot could play out quickly if he doesn't keep progressing. I think he still has somewhat of an inside joke status.
