Californ-i-a by way of BK
And a caller brought up a good point, that club was closing soon. No way Swave/Day was gonna be allowed to happen at 2 AM in the morning. Everyone with a brain new Math/Serius was the last battle of night no matter what. Club already was shutting shyt down before that battle even happened. You can tell it was true cause when the caller brought it up to Beasley he didn't dispute it.

No way they was letting Smack finish that show. and as I said before, it's for the better, because the last two battles needed a fresh crowd. Starting 3 and a half hours later let me know all the battles weren't gonna take place

If Math isn't permanently banned it's a sign of weakness. This is subjective of course, but he ain't even that nice anyway. It's not like it's a loss to the url.

How can URL permanently ban Math when they themselves use the dose punch as a marketing tool?

If they do, they'll be hypocrites.



I see what you're saying but what else could they have used to promote that battle? Dose hasn't battled or made any moves in years and the only thing people know him for is the punch.

I agree with him to an extent, but to chastise Math for his lack of professionalism, to say he'll hold the culture back, and not hold Smack and the league accountable for the same lack of professionalism, and for fostering the type of environment that leads to shyt like this, is almost hypocritical. don't get me wrong, while I empathize with Math because I've had one of those reflex type moments too,it's no excuse and I still think he deserve some the blame he's getting, I just think Smack needs to be taking more heat for this.

Like someone else said, part of the appeal to some is the thought that shyt could pop off at any moment during these battles, and that image is being pushed onto people- willingly or not- because the lack of any type of rules to minimize contact or enforce any "processional" standard, is exacerbating that same image and creating the type of situations that lead up to someone possibly getting punched. I mean, Norbes is telling dudes that they should limit there rounds to 4 or 4 and a half minutes, but that's an open ended request because he's not mandating it as a rule, so it leads to a situation where Math is pissed at Serius for going over a supposed time limit, and Serius is pissed for being interrupted during his round, and both end up having a legitimate gripe because the language of the rules wasn't made clear or enforced by the people who should've been doing it. Not to mention the the excessive wait times between battles, allowing battlers to interrupt each other and get in each others faces, allowing the battlers to drink before going on stage( why allow that if you want to ensure a quality battle?), all helping to create this tinder box situation.

That's why I don't agree with URL being a victim of any sorts; They're trying to hold the battlers to standards they're not holding themselves to,did an extra shytty job of running that venue that night, and because up until now Smack has had no problem profiting from situations like this ( that dose video is still on the site) and from all the extra aggression that he doesn't feel the need to curb during battles. As far as I'm concerned, URL failed the battlers and the fans that night just as much as Math failed his fans.

Edit: Cornercommsion2k12 made a good ass post on the last page, if the URL and Math are victims of anything, it's the double standards that exists when it comes to preception of black and white ran businesses, and the the stereotypes being levied against them right now. KoTD is just as guilty for letting shyt like this fly, yet they don't receive half the criticism, and right now people are writing off The URL for the same shyt.

That's why they booked it!!! I've been saying this. Smack exploited Math punching a dude and now they're furious he punched another dude.

Hypocrites to the fullest

It was Math's idea. Don't remember the interview but him and Dose were on the phone and Math said he presented URL with the idea to battle Dose again and said they started laughing but he convinced them. Y'all dudes just don't wanna like URL TBH. What would you have them do at this point? Release the footage of Serius getting rocked and hype that sh*t up and just indulge in the ignorance? If they did, n*ggas would complain about that too.

Well I do like URL. I just think they should take some responsibility in this. All I'm hearing is Math fukked up, Math disrespected the league, Math disrespected the culture.

The "culture" is dudes getting in each other's faces and threatening each other. Point blank. Hip hop is a beautiful thing and I do tip my hat to all these leagues getting money and keeping us entertained but stop parading around like it's this extremely positive art form and how could a rapper possibly start an altercation during a battle.

Point is, Smack and his cronies are making a ton of bread on dude's being overly aggressive and rather than looking at the root of the problem and why this happened and what they could do to prevent it from happening again, they want the onus on Math. Math got heated and threw a punch, it happens. You got cats like Daylyt coming with an entourage of gang members talking about killing somebody's mother and saying he extorted Smack for money but yea it's all positive shyt over here. Get real.
