All the bloggers need to go away at this point. After hearing Rome on AFR it's clear everyone is too attached to their narratives to promote battlers and battles well. All they do is scream their personal biases against certain battlers over each other.

Rome put Shine's business out there. He is truly fukking up.

I'm really kinda sick of seeing this assessment of that battle. You would post this and make a novice thing YK got smoked and swave was killing shyt.

Let's be honest, that was at a point where swave Was known as the gate keeper and YK fukked up in performance, overall that battle is bad and it might even be debatable. Swave literally said nothing and bullied his way to to perceiving that he won. Battle ain't worth watching even a 2nd time, I'm sure you couldn't post 1 bar from that battle you even remember and it in no way should continue to be held over YK head. Verb killed swave a lot worst than swave beat yk. Yet no one holds the verb loss over swave. We can't keep doing this. YK been consistent and prepared and comes with it every battle. Those guys need to be rewarded not have a trash battle that happend like 5 years ago, held over they head.

Whats is a Young Kannon? A .22? :mjlol:

Lol YK lost badly to Swave. Not only werent YKs performance not good (that shyt he tried with the shoes was whack), Swave was saying some shyt and made YK look like a bum and it did fukk up his stock.

And Swave was having good battles around that time. What does that even have to do with how Swave did against YK? That's irrelevent and doesnt counter what I said.

Same shyt happened to Swave when he lost to Verb, after calling out Verb and chasing him down for the longest.

This is really the answer. I don't know how we can look at tay roc who lost to clips a lot worst than yk lost to swave, again that battle is trash, and continue to hold that over him, but tay roc gets looked at like the come back kid.

YK issue is probably more in the choices of battles he took, leagues he was on. For awhile he was doing a lot of battles on off brand league battling Kung fu Harold and that hurt his brand, cheapened his status.

Who is holding that L to Swave over his head?

Plus your example with Roc is terrible too, Roc got his stock back up having good battles and had a rematch with Clips and redeemed himself.

You're fooling yourself if you think losses dont matter. You have to redeem yourself after you take get bodybagged. Thats why Roc was able to take off and no one gives a fukk about Midwest Miles

To be honest ROME is the only overtly biased blogger. Jayblac avoids the fukkery and CAPS goes in on everybody

:stopitslime: tay roc just lost to calicoe and rum nitty. Yet he about to get a match with hollow, why? Because fans are fickle and pick and choose who they want to like, so when you liked your losses are omitted. Same way suge lost to big t and turned around and got hitman. Clips lost to hollow turned around and got lux. Losses only count to the battle rappers people don't like. People will overlook the fact verb beat real deal, John john, goodz and brizz, but since he not liked hold the k shine loss over his head like a noose.

YK isn't liked, so whenever he mentioned swave comes up, again that battle trash but yk is not liked so it's all that will be said for him until the perception of him changes, then people will realize he has either beat or had debatable with all your favorite rappers.

I don't really fukk with the blogging outside of watching Champion episodes to see if Tech is stopping the microwave or not; what did Rome say about Shine?

:usure:

And the examples you are using aren't really good, or relatable to Young Kannon. Assuming Roc lost to Cal and Nitty (he didn't), he and Hollow pretty much have the same win-loss record for the last couple of years, if it's just about losses. But those guys are established as legends essentially at this point, so debatables aren't going to hurt them. Clips-Lux and Hitman-Suge were battles people wanted to see for a long time so they weren't going to be derailed by anything except a pure bodybag on a Smack stage, and even then it probably wouldn't have mattered; it's akin to how Pacquiao getting knocked out by Marquez didn't stop the Mayweather fight from popping off.

YK is a very good or great battle rapper, but he never hit the status of anyone else you named. People don't really point out YK's losses like that in reality because, people don't really point out YK at all. :yeshrug: It is what it is. It's almost a lower level of what Cortez deals with in a way.

And Verb is the worst of worst examples lol, people don't really hold the K Shine loss over his head as much as they hold all of the constant choking, stumbles, and coming unprepared to battles over his head. And even with all of that, all Verb would have to do is have two good performances in a row and people would be on his nuts again; look at the resurgence Clips had.

Honestly the only blogger I watch is Blac and its mainly for the reaction parts. The Untold Truth is good too.
I like Champion only for Tech because he keeps it real and backs up his points. When he says your garbage he quotes your garbage lines verbatim and it is never personal or attached to any narrative.

Chris Unbias recaps were the best but he's probably going to prison for life :patrice:

He said before battles, Shine has to put something on his lip. Like it's a bump or somethin'. And said it was common knowledge. I'm like dawg...Shine is going to go at your head for that and how the he'll is that common knowledge? Bad enough he had to fight thru allegations of being a transexual and he fought a gay dude by biting him. And I know he knows Shine got hands and has a quick temper. Smdh.

Pretty much. shyt like that is outside of battlerap and is uncalled for. If KShine goes upside his head I cant blame him.

Folks tryna be like Chris Unbias with the fukkery but dont have whatever it was that kept battlers from violating him. Guys like Rome need to keep it battlerap.[/QUOTE]
