Not sure why y'all are upset about Mook wanting a lot of money to come back. Isn't he at the top of the food chain?

He is not one of these bum azz battle rappers that needs to jump out of bed for a couple thousand.

If URL has no interest in working with him, he will just stay where he's at.

Nobody is upset. We just think he's delusional

Breh has been asking for $70k, $100k whatever to battle for years now. Its not gonna happen

Ironic thing is if dude took 2 battles a year for $40k/ each since the Iron Solomon battle he'd have his $400k. But he was too dumb to realize that and priced himself out of the game instead

Not one person gives a fukk about Mook. He beat lux and everyone was like, "damn that was terrible of lux.... Hope he battles Charlie next" :mjlol:

He tried to come out "who y'all wanna see me battle" at that nome. Everyone was like "man can you believe that glass of absolute was 25 bucks? :dame: "

I think the assumption that he missed out on anything is off base. He was locked in for 70k for the Surf battle, but that fell through. He didn't start ASKING anyone to book him. The fans constantly ask him, John John called him out and said he can get the sponsors, now we are here.

Once you stop looking at it like he desperately needs bread, you'll see he's just putting a business proposition out there. It's safe to say he will be promoting a new musical project next year under Busta's Conglomerate. Battling multiple times in a year would help him promote the project. Also, multiple battles means that his naysayers can't discredit everything he's ever done if he has a rough night. And I'm sure there are even more reasons beyond that, because dude is all about mapping things out.

You're calling him dumb when he's managed his career better than damn near anyone in battle rap. Especially when you consider he doesn't translate all that well to people that don't follow battle rap. Your favorite battle rappers would be pretty excited to get advice from Mook. You have guys out here like Math, Rex, Verb, Daylyt, etc. that are in limbo. They want to move on from battle rap, but they don't have the means to do so. Mook is chilling.

URL wasn't trying to pay Lux 40k when Lux had the highest stock in battle rap history......for a battle EVERYONE wanted to see........but he's gonna agree to a 350k commitment to Mook. Yea aight lol

They were dead set against PPV at the time. They are doing PPV now. So there's no "salary cap" anymore. Besides, this money wouldn't be coming from URL anyway, it's all about sponsors stepping up.

If you don't want to see him, pay him no mind.
I just think all the attempts to rally against him are kinda gay. If the leagues can make it happen, they will pay. The money is not coming out of our pockets. Battle rap wouldn't be what it is today without him. So where does all the resentment come from?

Some of you nyggas click a few youtube links, then start acting like you pay taxes out of your bi-weekly check that go towards battle rap. That's corny.

Yeah I don't know Mook's personal income but he's clearly not hurting for money. Whatever means he's making the money (I'm sure between co owning the hair shop with his wife, signing bonus to Conglomerate and movie deals he's pulling in some nice income), he's doing good enough to live comfortably

It would be one thing if Mook was out here looking like Jakkboy with Mexican Jordans and dirty braids but Mook looks like he's doing just fine
