Essential The Official Battle Rap Random Thoughts Thread (URL, KOTD, UW etc...)

[FreshAIG]

It's bugged, but when you think the dearth of decent looking women in battle rap, how poorly these battle events are run, and the sheer amount of unhelpful, wanna be cool mofos that fill up the stage at any given Smack event, it makes more sense. Every event, Nunu was doing WHATEVER she could to help it run smoother. When she hosts events, it seems like she really tries to keep them orderly, plus she cares about how the footage comes out. She's not afraid to bark on people when they aren't quiet. It helps that she's a woman, because otherwise some of those loud dudes in the crowd would be looking for a fight if you told them to "shut the fukk up". Her being center stage for so many big Smack battles was her come up, because I'm sure that's how most celebs know of her. Her networking and grind took care of the rest. She blew past Raine because Raine is a battle rapper herself, and has an ego. What became of the "Bosschick" movement? Even with the interviews Raine does now, I feel like she's trying to portray something and it seems awkward.

There was that time period where the only person involved with Smack that actually wanted to be in front of a camera was Norbes. That probably helped make her a little more tolerable too.

Yeah it’s weird. I remember first seeing NuNu in person at a Smack event in 2013, and she was in line like the rest of us but you could tell she had a relationship with the other battlers because she was chatting them up, at that point I didn’t know anything about her other than being Boss Chick’s friend and then slowly she got more in the forefront of the battles and I guess was like a mix between Jaz and Mickey Factz for Smack.

And yeah only thing I’ll give Boss Chick Raine she might be technically the first battle rap blogger. She was doing videos on battle rap back in 2008 I think. I feel like she’s just trying to go back to her roots since the battle world is over for her. I actually like her show.

All these Black American battle rap bloggers c00ning for Oxxy got me fukkin sick. Putting Russian in their titles and shyt as if they really gave a fukk about the guy a week ago.

If you really cared about street battle rap you'd be making blogs challenging Oxxy to come to URL and battle Roc, Surf, DNA, Clips, Con, Brizz, anyone like that. Instead they're fukking blushing over the views which aren't even from people who can speak English. fukking scust.

The dikkriding these man are doing is disgusting

Y'all cats are spot on. Hearing some of these cats recaps and dudes expressing how scared they were of Russians was way over the top

I don't think he did. It was actually a good battle and it was close. I just think nikkas are so used to giving Diz a loss that its easy to attack him at this point. I mean, he fukked up with the Hollow battle but before the quoting Lux incident (which he tried to do), he was goin' in on Hollow. Everyone talks about the second time around when him and Cassidy battled and but the first time, Diz was cookin' him and Cassidy even stumbled before they rematched it. He did fukk up against Serius Jones tho. Just my opinion tho....

I’m not trying to hear that he was quoting Lux shyt. Diz was a Trump supporter so he lose all benefit of the doubt.

But I really do think Oxxxy bodied him, and that is not just because I don’t like Diz. Was Oxxxy gassed? Definitely, but he broke Diz all the way down for three straight rds.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

I'm calling this now. If Diz clearly beats Roc at Traffic 3, some cats gonna go to the excuse of "Diz is from Cali, so the crowd was" bias"

Or "Nobody gives a shyt about the Traffic card

And for the record, I have Roc winning 2-1

I'd rather listen to nunu talk about the battles the norbes. It should be nunu and the Hughes dude if they can't get champion for their ppvs.

Norbes is a terrible personality. The battle rap arena crew somehow worked back in the day.

Well, I dunno bro...she did on that platform but that Rapmatic shyt looks slick tho. The cam quality and the website. Raine Boss Chick on the come up herself.

My bad, I might be rushing to judgment with Rapmatic thing. I don't think I gave it enough chances to form a concrete opinion. If y'all say it's solid then I'm going to give it a couple more shots. Which interviews were your favorites?

Jaz needs to be a regular

This was their best episode by a mile. Tech9 really getting better too.

 

[wtfyomom]

They def on his dikk, the battle isnt no classic, its better than i expected but, even if we want to throw in international battles in english, shotty/ars is much better. but since this is gonna get mad views, i mean i dont blame them really. never liked vada fly, i cant recall off the top of my head but he makes mistakes too with certain battle rap history, i feel like hes pretty much a semi bandwagoner, first time I saw Tec 9 in a suit I was dying not taking him seriously but then he was great.

That's fine because he did fukk up doing that; didn't say he didn't. His whole idea of supporting Trump made him look stupid as well and I won't get into that (that interview on AFM summed it up), I'll keep it movin' off that.

But as far as battle rap goes, with wins and losses on some fair shyt, my point still is...Diz gets handed Ls even when he does good. I don't think he got bodied in this. But I do think we're used to giving him losses at this point even when he is on point.

I did like the Head ICE interview. I'm gonna go on the site and check out more of the content. Its really well done as a website.

 

[RickyGQ]

I don't want to kill Kiki too much because getting in front of a camera is hard but boy does she sound lost every time she speaks. smfh.

Agreed. She just needs to get more comfortable. She should come with notes and be a bit more prepared tho.

Norbes is a terrible personality. The battle rap arena crew someone worked back in the day.

They CAN get the Champion crew, apparently URL doesn't think they're worth paying for. A shame. Not only is the Champion crew entertaining, but they would add a level of professionalism to URL PPVs.

I agree. I should have typed WON'T instead of can't, but that's how it goes typing from my phone.

URL isn't going to pay for Champion, because anybody can hire the crew. They aren't exclusive to the URL brand.

No one gives a shyt about this battle. Diz lost to Jones, Oxxy, arguably Solomon when is the last time he beat anyone?

I got me 2-1 over Diz right now on some Queenzflip shyt.

I WANNA BATTLE! I SAID AYO!!!!!
