I have no problem with people getting they money. But asking for outrageous numbers like mook is just silly. Mook could of easily got over 200k by doing 2-3 battles a year over the past 3 years. Yet he priced himself too high and is making nothing.

Doesnt make sense,

At the end of the day your spitting 9 mins of rap. In what world do u think that's worth 100k?

Like look at twork. He probably not making more then 5k a battle. Yet he probably made MORE then that from hosting events. Twork is branding himself FAST and is caking off it.

DNA/Shine is out here on battle rap tours. On Espn.

Mook out here waiting for his phone to ring for a imaginary check :snoop:

Yeah this is the problem with Mook. He couldvd been battled already but he priced himself out and still talks crazy.

Ehhhhh again hes sitting on Ms so he could talk like that.

Mook battled for free when battlerap wasnt poppin big time like that. That means more to be honest.

And how would the artists recoup through shows? Any fans the artist brings to battlerap are their fans that would go to their shows regardless.

He said INDUSTRY artist. I know Mook is technically signed, but I wouldn't put him in that category.

KOTD just dropped Suge vs Shotti P and there's a lot of comments in Russian. That's a good look for KOTD, and battle rap in general. If new fans come in that genuinely appreciate the craft, and don't want to b*stardize or dilute it then that's great.

If there was any science to dropping the Suge v Shotti P battle after Diz & Oxy, what do y'all think it was?
it was already scheduled to come out mad long ago on the mass 3 schedule for droping battles

vada fly is wack as hell to me, lol but the other 3 fire

I actually think Vada is the most professional out of the 3. Blac is the host and Tech is the personalty. Vada to me was always the "analyst" of the group. Which makes sense as out of the 3 he goes to the most events. He provides the insight of actually being there while Blac and Tech speaks for the youtuber.


All in all the core 3 def works and build around each other. It's the guests who sticks out(and not in a good way) Besides Jaz.

With that said Vada and Jaz are interchangeable. They do the same job lol.
