:snoop: Why is this battle taking place in some fukking no name league


You know why.... and it's damn near sad because both of those guys did it to themselves.
JC laid the blueprint for Xcel to follow (taking back alley battles for a quick check), but what makes it worse is Xcel isn't nearly as polished as JC.

These dudes probably rode the same Chinatown bus out there....

You want to know what's even worse? Odds are, Nellz probably got paid more than both of them did.

:snoop: Why is this battle taking place in some fukking no name league


So much struggle in this picture brehs:mjcry:

I swear JC is the dajuan wagner of battle rap

I really believe they are building Suge's profile & want to wait to do the battle, but there's no guarantee he'll be as hot as he is now.

Suge's status is the only reason why this battle hasn't been comfortably made imo.

If Suge goes on SM & kills Verb, throws shots at Holla, says fukk St Louis, then the battle is even bigger.

Sometimes I think the Suge/ Hitman battle isn't happening on URL because of politics or wanting to build it up some more.

But honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Smack sorta just lives in his own world and doesn't realize the buzz for this battle is as hot as it is right now

True story, after NOME 5 I was walking around the city and saw Hitman and Smack just chillin like two blocks from Irving plaza.

I dapped em both, Smack thanked me for comin out. Here's the funny thing, Hitman and Smack were talking and Hitman asked Smack if he saw the stare down that Suge and he had on stage in between one of the battles. He showed Smack a picture of it on his phone.

Smack was like "oh word? i was in the back and i ain't even see that". It sounded like dude was hearing about their beef the first time, I kid you not

Hitman has been calling out Suge since the Arsonal battle....yet he's pricing himself out to make sure it doesn't happen on URL

Bout sick of conversations about battle rap cash flow, pricing, politics, finances, etc. I engage in it sometimes, but lately, in the absence of actual fukking battles, it's been too damn much.

I can't even be mad at ya'll (but I want to be) tho. Ain't shyt else poppin' off.

It's not a fetish, Todd and DNA have connections to sponsors & other people that have helped Smack do bigger events & expand his brand.
Not so sure about what Verb's situation is though.

And the sad part is that Verb rarely gets a fair shake in NY. I would almost be reluctant to battle there at this point.

I think Verb said Smack was like "lets set up you and Rex for the next sm" not remembering they already battled on SM2

This was the case up to maybe 2013. Do you think it's still the case now?

I've never been able to get through the John John & Goodz battles, but from what I saw I don't think the crowd was against him. Maybe Jada was a little extra for Goodz bars, but the crowd didn't ruin the footage.

I watched the Brizz battle, the crowd was biased in favor of all the rookies so maybe you could say he didn't get a fair shake, but the crowd didn't ruin the footage & Verb still won convincingly.
K-Shine whupped Verb's ass, I don't feel like hometown bias influenced the outcome of that battle. People were rocking with Verb in the first but he fell off a cliff with that stupid "talking to a bottle" angle.

And you can't come to the pause/no homo capital of the world talking that "My heart is full of semen" business.

He didnt say semen though and if you were following the scheme I dont even know why your mind would go there, in NY they look for shyt to say no homo, I do it as a joke but Im not gonna interrupt a performance for a sound alike word thats taking it too far. lmao, I dont think Verbs 3rd shouldve gotten booed, he lost but it wasnt completely wack, the crowd in the building vs brizz thought he lost clearly and imo thats the only reason people dont think thats a great showing by verb cause he spazzed to me, jjdd they like less than verb and verb did deserve boos in his 3rd with that I am a rooster shyt. If verb ever does get lux and its in NY you better believe the crowd will be waiting to boo him. now in the midwest he would get more leeway too, every city is biased but most of the battles on URL are in NY so

"Shout out to Exclusiv Vodka, nahmean SMIIIDDDDDDDDDDDIIIITT"...

Smack's cool but as far as these events go, he knows where the cameras are, when the ring card girls come out, and how much vodka there is left in his bottle. That's it.
