The future of Total Slaughter would mean more money available to pay battle rappers. They'd basically get concert money, but with streaming and sponsors, the amount wouldn't be that crazy.

Battle rappers would have to be on their A Game to warrant the price as well. By A Game, it's more performance and the crowd/audience response to it. Bars basically decides whether they win or lose (plays a major factor).

To me that means all battlers should have a baseline amount unless you are clearly the main event and have some money up for grabs based off wins and losses.

lol he called Sub 0 a snitch multiple times. He didn't say why, but it makes me wonder if Sub had anything to do with the cops shutting the St. Louis vs NY battle down.
You have anything that showed he said that?. I want to get an idea what sub 0 snitched about. I thought he was official?.

40 K might have been up front money, then he made another 40 K based off his deal with the revenue stream money, money at the door etc...remember Lux is the one who came up with the PPV idea for the show and all of that.

Well, Drect proposed that idea with Lux to set up something with rapgrid

Lux took that idea & proposed it to Smack :russ:

And nikkas was talking shyt about Smack. If Smack would have listened to a lot of you armchair CEOs his shyt would have been out of business. Lux ain't worth $40k with $35k in his pockets.

It didn't happen because
1. Smack/URL lost the Webster Hall venue (which meant smaller capacity venue, less profit from the event, less attractive for sponsors)
2. Smack/URL refuses to do PPV

But if Smack still had Webster Hall, I think there was a chance that Lux would have gotten that 40k and conceded on the PPV. We can't say "Lux ain't worth" blah blah blah when it's now being reported he made more than 40k off of UW. We all knew about the 40k upfront asking price. But why would UW give him anything on the back end BEFORE they recouped? They must have turned a decent profit.

Damn Shareef. Don't Beloved still owe Tech-9 like a hunnid $ :deadrose:
Where’s that $1000 you owe Tech Nine? :stopitslime:
I mean what happened to Lion’s Den?
They’re known for holding footage and cut-throating,
lying to battlers, it’ll be on HBO just told him,
this for every footage held and every buck stolen,:ufdup:
I’ll give you a round and you lying then, you’ll never get up loaded :birdman:

For all the work he's put in to the culture he sure is worth it. Just as much as any other legend in battle rap. they all worth it breh. smack is worth it too...you nikkas so quick to take these people for granted. this battle rap shyt is entertaining as fukk. millions of people watch this shyt.

not like he charging us 40k...but for the show he puts on..what wrong with getting $10 from 4,000 viewers? hell..even $5 from 8000 viewers. these nikkas get MILLIONS of viewers breh. who dont pay a DIME...so whats wrong with getting sponsers to pay him for his craft in exchange for advertisement?

Only a handful of battle rappers get million view battles. Hitman always bragged about views but don't get paid off none of them shyts, no battle rapper has. Lux/Mook are the only smart ones to actually get serious money off their work in that ring. 40/80k (whatever the real asking price is) for 12 minutes of bars?! (4 minute rounds)....shyt it sound like a W to me as a man. Nyggas can't blame Lux, blame UW for accepting his offer.

keep in mind those 12 minutes of bars can take weeks sometimes months of work. Lets not lose sight of that. Just like 3 min music video takes hours and sometimes days of work. the output seems simple, but all the input that goes into it is where the worth comes in. you got companies paying millions to get a 1 min commercial during the superbowl..why? because of all the views it will get. This world is a big place and theres a reason why some people are successful and some arent. know your worth and strive for it.

I understand it may be disheartening to see nikkas getting paid your yearly salary for 20 min battle (and thats the real reason for the hate)...but use that as motivation. get on your grind and learn how to make money work for you

Exactly.....everybody is so stuck on the love for battle rap, it's easy to forget this is a business....nyggas is gettin' racks off battling. If i put on arguably one of the greatest comeback/performances in battle rap history after an 8 year hiatus, and i'm the most talked about battle rapper on the planet, i'm tryna get as much money as i can. How can anybody call him a culture vulture if he's tryna progress his brand as a battle rapper. Nyggas forget the ny vs. philly event where NOBODY got paid, url owed Clips 8 thousand....but Lux is stealing from the culture lmao.

nikkas act like he went in THEIR pockets for 40K :mjlol: that bread didnt come from one place or one person. correct me if im wrong its been a minute, but wasnt there a Mcdonalds sponsorship during the battle? amongst other companies?

and UW is still able to put out another card within six months. so they obviously not hurting.

the only thing nikkas should be mad at is if they watched the battle and got a craving for a big mac.:mjlol:

some battle rappers get a cut of the youtube adsense...I know Arsonal was one of them and Smack look pissed when he mentioned it in his round. I forget who he was battling though
