I don't know man. You seem to be only looking at the big stage where I'm looking at the overall product. I clearly remember seeing battles like qleen vs bmagic as a pg. I remember there being great pg battles.

In fact, there have been a couple of URL years where the PG battles were the best content the URL was putting out.

Maybe I'm tripping, but I should be able to click on any battle whether it's pg, midtier, or big stage and get some solid match ups.

me and you don't see eye to eye on a lot but you get what i mean. salute.

I didn't know Kendrick battled Charles Hamilton. I do remember Charles Hamilton got washed by Serius Jones though.
I also remember a young Adam Ferrone (Rone) giving Charles Hamilton some work also. That made Worldstar, and it was before Rone ever did a Grind Time battle.

I went to youtube to see if I could find a vid. Found this, I guess I remember this wrong, it was more of a cypher than a battle.



Jones did body him in his barbershop though lol

I don't expect that at all. The PGs are intended to be a showcase. They aren't really "the product", they're try-out battles.
When you watched Qleen vs B Magic it was two guys trying to show you how talented they were. I don't remember it for the personal attacks.

Another function that the PGs serve is to eliminate competition. The same guy that has a local name and might get a few hundred to battle will clear his plate to do a PG battle. He might have headlined a small event, but instead he's traveling to NYC to do a PG, because the world keeps telling him they want to see him on the "big stage". Either that, or a small league will pay Norbes to host, and GIVE Norbes their best footage. I was initially annoyed at how the whole PG process has been whored out, but I understand it now. And if you put the PGs on a separate channel, it makes that dangling carrot a bit smaller, so they will continue to get dropped on the main channel.
Completely False breh.
They were DEFINITELY goin personal.
Them nikkas was set tripping HEAVY throughout their battle, you just gotta catch it :wow:


Soft ass Crip, you talk that shyt
This nikka prolly Bleed if I smacked him with my bytch cloth
Now get hard in the place and I'm gettin on yo Goof' ass
Snappin 6 stars in yo face *spits* spittin on that Flu rag
Vice Lord ridin on him, shooting when we shoot passed
I'm in that super coupe class
You know, Maserati's
And who the FUKK got this Subaru gassed
My connect cheap tickets
Got me moving through bags
My team with it
We hit that I-75 grouped with a few bags
Careful what you chose to do faq
cause all my V's viscous
And we keep biscuits for E-rickets
You got a muthafukkin problem, then leap Cricket

But once that Black & Gold rag wrap that black and chrome Mac
B listen, this shyt bout to be wicked- Qleen vs B Magic

That gang shyt personal breh

I fux with that Bing Nation vs Fettucini battle for that same reason:wow:
If Karma's a bytch, then I'mma choke her just call me Beasley - Bing :banderas::wow::damn:
Top5 bars of the year :salute:

No set trippin, more like punchin in when I put that 9 to 5 -
Bing

We rose up AR K's (Rosa Parks) like we get tough back
You get ya mugshot behind bars if you don't bust/bus back -
Bing

That battle reminded me of Qleen vs B Magic with all that set trippin mid-battle

They both definitely deserved to get a PG after that dope ass battle

Pg's are showcase battles and part of the overall product. If they were simply just "try out battles" and nothing more, the url would just put them all out. A large chunk of the battles have not come out, because they weren't up to standard.

These showcase battles are a cheap way to get content because they don't have to pay these guys. They also usually film a large volume of these battles and select what they feel are the best ones. How is this not part of their product?

A lot of these battlers they recruit already have footage out there, so during the matchmaking process for their first pg, the recruiter should have an idea in their head if this would be a good battle. Therefore, why shouldn't i expect a solid of battle?

I don't care enough about Battle Truth's life to get through multiple 30 minutes blogs about it, especially from someone I don't know and that seems kinda slow.

At least Chris Unbias made it entertaining.

Word. A lot of what he was talking about couldve been condensed into one blog.

Truth having an online wife and being a gigolo is hilarious though :mjlol:

Listening to psa. Lux didn't like his performance against Arsonal. Said he had too much going on.

He said he would love to battle Verb, but he has to give us something. He was hoping he would do well in the top/brizz battle. Verb just needs to gain some momentum, maybe win a couple of battles in a row.

Charles Hamilton got washed by Rhymefest as well. Rhymefest beat Eminem too.
