It’s not nearly the same thing re: Organik. A lot variables to live performances as opposed to typical contracted work. He’s basically saying if a basketball player misses a free throw they need to dock his pay.
That analogy isn't that accurate. I won't say memorizing 12-15 minutes of new rhymes doesn't have a degree of difficulty, but we also know that it can and has been done for over a decade on all levels. There is no excuse anymore, especially when getting RACKS to do so. If you're too busy, jammed up, whatever, give the deposit back and say no thanks. shyt is embarrassing. Especially when there's 10 guys who don't get booked for bullshyt reasons and politics that will go up there and rap like their lives depended on it without all the bullshyt.

I don't think rappers should be docked pay for the battle they show up to but it should affect the next battle especially if they are booked back to back. 20% of the agreed upon price of the next battle. Something I dunno lol.

More like a broadway actor forgetting their lines in a live show.

I didn’t give Roc a round live. I’m more disappointed with this than his battle with Goodz. These two battles were to test and see if Roc elevated his superstar intangibles like presence and delivery to the likes of Goodz and Hitman, and he just don’t got it like they do
Yep

Same against clips/Calicoe/surf

Roc hasn't really shaken any of the top guys outside of his 2nd vs Hollow

shyt looked like the end of Infinity War:mjlol:
nikkas whispering Jersey as they vanish to rich dollaz summer time share :dead:


I hope the shyttiness if ill will doesnt get forgotten about with all these chokes being the talk of the town

I never seen no shyt like that :hhh:


O red needs props somewhat too, people who've never lost their voice have no idea how out-of-nowhere and immediately frustrating it is, he obviously wrote 3 fire rounds and was able to get them out in his 3rd

They better get champion of the night right :martin: Reed/JC/DNA(even tho i dislike him)

Geechi underperformed
Hitman too imo, he's supposed to bring a "moment" to the event

No, he's saying if a basketball player didnt even condition their bodies enough to be able to play a full game their pay should be docked, you can miss shots, but at LEAST be able to run the floor and put up a fight

I agree. If we're comparing battlerap to basketball we need to be a bit more concise.

missing shots = having punches/lines that are hit or miss or bad. The point is that you actually tried, and while you may not have hit the mark, the effort is there. You still did what you were supposed to do.

fukking up plays/pulling a JR smith = stubmling. The effort is still there but you just fukked up bad when you were supposed to know better

The only thing that you really can't compare to basketball is choking, because there are several factors that decide whether or not it totally fukks up the battle. Like which round you choked in, how much of your verse you spit before you choked and so on.

So with that in mind we should just talk about choking and how we should punish withing the confines of battlerap. and I think that you should lose a chunk of your second half if you choke period. each round you choke you lose a chunk. SO if you chole all 3 rounds you might not even see your second half. and the battler shouldn't be booked on any more major cards for a while. but if the fans stll want to see him, put him on one of the smaller cards like Born legacy or even survivor series.

Leagues really need to start punishing these nikkas man, nikkas should be scared to death to choke on URL the biggest platform. Or any league for that matter. Only way is the make them feel it in their pockets and their stock.

I couldn't watch but any non Math haters can tell me did he fukked k up as bad as the blogs people are saying? After that 3 peat I had high hopes. I literally just now watched a vada fly vid(heard if him here never saw him) and he was saying Math looked unconfident and lethargic out the gate.

I like Math, but he stumbled every couple bars the entire battle. He was choking or on the verge of choking virtually the entire time.
