After watching both 1st rounds from Mook and Verb I have ask.....

What do people see in Mook as a battle rapper?

Like seriously. To me he's a chore to watch and has little replay value. I only go back and watch his battle against Party Arty.

I gave the first to Verb, he was more direct and overall better performance than Mook. Mook had some bars but his flow was choppy, especially with the drawn out schemes it mad them hit less. I seriously don't understand why he's a GOAT when all he did was battle on Smack camera first.

However...

Mook is a fukkkk1ng idiot for not battling in this era. His style would go so over. All he needs to do is update it. Plus it helps he can get through his rounds clean and knows how to sell a fight. He could have just battled twice a year at NOME or SM and get a bag for that.

I have no idea what KG is saying here but

Cortez vs Ryda was FOUR months ago and it still ain’t out :dead:

That's part of what he's saying.
The economic forecast for battle rap is bad. If they can't make money from youtube views, than they have to sell PPV. Battle rap fans have been raised on being able to watch battles for free. It's only a matter of time until that PPV money starts to dry up. Especially if people aren't satisfied with the event.

Let's take Summer Madness 7 for instance. In the past we would have heard how bad it was, but if you weren't there you don't fully take peoples word for it. Then URL releases the best battles (probably Hitman vs Tay Roc and Iron Solomon vs JC), those battles generate a lot of views and URL makes money off those views. By that time their next event is up and they can trickle out some of those other battles as well as the best battles of the most recent event. They can't do that now. They have to sell battle rap fans on the event being good enough to purchase a PPV.

Now, I'm whining and victimizing because I called your ass out for always trying to argue? I've been said its cool to disagree with me but this isn't first time you been a weirdo about something I said either. No targeting but you obviously when it comes to me it seems...its always some dumb shyt lately. So why don't you take a step back check your actions first before you go at me. Last few times me and you communicated, you been on some smug shyt from the way it comes across.

And KG said it, Mook got everyone thinking that they get in like he did with bread. And that spread. You can disbelieve it all you want but everyine remembers Iron vs. Mook and what Mook said. So you're going to deny battle rappers started to count the money Smack URL was making around then is what you're telling me? Ok believe that shyt if you want.
Mook is the devil for getting paid and having other battlers wanting to get paid as well. I see the logic now. My fault.

Has anybody's value dropped as fast as Twork? My goodness. Full blown interviews with league owners, Lux mentioning him, blogs, etc....within the last 3 weeks. He needs to take a long break.
