Yall notice how these "pen groups" never work out?

These "pen guys" are some of the biggest divas in battle rap. There's no way that a group solely built around "pen guys" will have any longevity. They act like women. They are the type of guys that if they are in a group, they have to be the only "pen guy." It's the exact same thing if you put a female in with a group of guys. There is not enough room for another female.

Based on what you typed, Joe sounds like a casual fan. Well, I will put it like this. He follows more than the typical casual fan, but he's far from a hardcore fan. Someone who knows what they are talking about can really put Buttons in his place.

I will definitely acknowledge that battle rap has a different "feel," which is why I don't get too enthusiastic about a lot of battles. However, it is far from dead.

One could argue that Buttons and Shady attempted to kill battlerap with their bullshyt representation of it. You are talking about a company that did not care to put out the best product possible. They treated the show like it was the freestyle era or some shyt, giving guys minimal time to prepare, showing chokes on tv, etc. They then proceeded to put out a crappy PPV hosted by Sway.

I hope Dre's homie Shawn is on. He has no problem getting at Buttons.
Yeah,
They really dropped the ball with Total Slaughter. It could of put battle rap In a different light, but it came and went because it was so underwhelming.
Battle rap is not dead but it is transitioning. It definitely don't' have the same feel it did from 2010 to 2012. It doesn't even have the same feel it two years ago. I think some of it is because I'm getting older, and some of it is the newer battles talking time to develop. Brizz is right on the edge of being a super top tier, but Top, Chess and Ave have all taking a step back imo. Trez is not progressing like I hoped he would. I thought Fliiko had the potential to be that dude but it didn't happen. I feel like Bullpen lost some steam. Twerk, Glue, Snake Eyez, Geechi all have potential, but have are not there yet. We will see how things goes after this weekend. SM6 looks like it will be dope.

That's my word I would go to summer madness if I could get the day off. I would call out sick but I just called out sick and went to the doctor last Friday :mjcry:

It's no point in me even copping the ppv cause I'll be at work smh.
