Talk about trying to strike while the irons hot :russ:


This nikka lost to Jimz a few months ago :beli:

Correction.. He lost a "judge" battle to Jimz on his (Jimz) home league. I dont even like Verb but I can guarantee you that if there were no judges everybody would have Verb winning. This is why judges battles are so pointless.

Could Chilla be in contention for champion of the year with one more good performance? Apparently he 3-0 Born and already had a good battle with Iron. I think one more good battle should get him in the conversation.

What does 3-0ing Born mean in 2018 though?

This is what Champion needs to establish:

There should be at least a three battle minimum imo & most importantly, strength of schedule. You gotta rank the battle rappers.

Someone could beat Bigg K, Bmagic, & T-Rex in 2018. At first glance it seems nice, but if you've been following battle rap, it's actually a weak schedule based on how those guys have been performing.

I don’t disagree. That is why I think Chilla need one more good battle to be in consideration. I also agree it need to be some type of system.

I want to know how many people bought the RBE ppv. Everyone keep saying that ARP made a crazy amount of money and Mook is worth what he asking for.

We don't need those numbers, look at the response from the fans on TBZ

The SM7 & Rare Breed threads have the same amount of posts, so it's reasonable to assume the RBE event did well.

We also have to talk promotion, when we talk money. Mook promoted this event as if he was getting something off the backend. He brought a level of professionalism to the promotion of this battle that we rarely see from battlers.

Mook and Verb had two faceoffs with classic moments and quotes in each. GOAT promo.

I'm not too surprised Chilla did good against Born. nikkas forget Chilla had some pretty performances and still call him boring.

Lmao you know damn well what happened, no one here knows more about Born than you.

Nice try though. Why not try to slide that L right up under the shadow of Twork's no show....

Lmao. Yo i dead ass checked all their twitters no one said anything when i looked.

Besides i had Chilla winning when the shyt was announced lmao.

Verb is going about it the right way...Calicoe did the same thing with Mook n Lux...disrespecting them all over the URL stage (remember the Shine n Ars battles)...Verb keeps this up, he'll get Beloved soon..

This is how he should've been moving anyway why is a legend battling John John Da Don at a summer madness, losing to Jimz...

Lux told him before SM1, fix up and you'll get him...7 years on he finally gets it
I also feel like you get the best Lux when someone talks a lot of shyt to him, when Verb was saying Lux was ducking after a string of half assed check chasing performances I wasn't to hype to see it, now that he has shown some hunger and has hype coming from the Mook shyt I'm ready to see it.

See, this shyt is getting out of hand. I'll just quote my question and ask it and put it in bold.

I have a question though because its bothered me. This whole "who's the next star" thing in battle rap I have never liked. Because of issues like this within the business have yet to be rectified completely by a union or whatever that can stop this from happening in the beginning. And other issues, I see. But my thing is with someone like Twork or Prez or even B-Magic now that he is a name....is it something going on to where we as fans, even battle rap leagues, rush to have these battle rappers as stars instead of making sure first they aren't no showers/chokers/deposit stealers/unmedia trained battle rappers at first?

I think Swave is right. Twork got comfy real quick.
