Can be good if they get the right people on. Bring back the freestyles and all other good stuff.

So I watched most of it. It's nostalgic energy but it did get old after the first few segments. Obviously I'm and don't keep up w all the young guys but they look like they're having a blast. The French and Durk song kinda goes.

I wonder about this. Back in the Smack DVD days people found out stuff on those DVDs.

We have the internet. Rappers constantly post new songs, share news etc. and you can hear it in an instant.

So I watched this earlier, and here's what I thought:

1) It's 2 hours and 20 minutes, which is slightly too long for a free online video magazine. Most people aren't going to go through that even while skimming it like I did. Navigating back and forth becomes hard too.

2) It's mostly in-studio, on-stage and on-location music performances. There isn't much BTS footage beside that.

3) It lacks interviews. Shout-outs and basic introductions don't count as interviews.

4) It's good that it has timestamps, but there's only one artist name per timestamp even when there's multiple in it. I can't even find the segment where a bunch of guys were rapping one after the other, and I don't know what their names were either.

5) Having the artist name timestamped but no other context about where or what the segment is about is an oversight. Even the music performance should have the song labeled.

6) Most of the footage is from night time. It lacks daytime footage.

7) They got rapper Jim Jones in here. That curse is very real. This whole project could flop based on that alone. It's just a bad look in general to have him on Volume 1 and it's not him getting beat up, chased or verbally shat on.

8) I mostly skipped the rap battle at the end. Just a personal preference.

9) This is an acceptable Volume 1, but it needs to improve or else the views will keep dipping with each release. It's new and it's already boring to me.

10) They need to get this shyt on Rumble and Odysee because the YouTube version is already age-restricted.

11) They need to highlight more buzzing rappers from other regions. That's what will make this series really take off. Get footage from places like Minnesota, Detroit, DC, Maryland, and even smaller sections and towns.

12) The lesser-known rapper needs to introduce themselves better. Where did they grow up? What did they do growing up before becoming a professional rapper? When did they start rapping? When was their first album or mixtape release?

C’mon man nyggas work 40 plus hours a week. Not everyone has time to check out every new song or artist.

A platform like this showcases the hottest artists and has its place if it’s done right.

I actually still got a couple of them DVD'S for nostalgia, even the G-Unit radio mixtapes along with other DJ's like Kayslay, and Whoo Kid.

I like the idea but with these new age restriction identity laws causing this uproar.

I'm not sure how this thing is going to work because every now and again the DVD era showed booty and etc. These new identity sites to register your age some are asking for phone number verification, bank details, drivers license, I don't know if it will effect YouTube too.

Ofcom are receiving mad number of complaints. (for those outside USA)

This is what has been missing from Battle Rap. All the DVD guys are still the stars of battle rap because people got to know them on the same platform they battled on, and it was in the proximity of bigger stars. It made you believe these new people battling each other might actually achieve something like the famous people on the DVD had.

The 2010s were the best of all worlds, particularly the first half. After 2014–2016, shyt went really downhill.

Now rappers don't even upload their music on mixtape sites. The cover artwork is usually ass and looks like they paid $20 to some 15-year-old to make it.

Datpiff and newer sites like Spinrilla went down, taking tons of music with them. A lot of that shyt is gone forever. Spinrilla only lasted a few years, so they should have never courted rappers like they did if they had no intention of staying online.

It tried but failed to capture that magic. There was nothing particularly interesting or controversial in it.

This Coke Smack volume was tame and it's still age-restricted. Sub 0 DVDs were like 50% ass and titties. His schtick was to bring the strip club and rappers to your home.
