Nobody dismissed Drake looking out for Twork.
Twork can be helped and still speak with honesty or simply refuse to answer. That’s a grown ass man.
Twork is an important figure in the Battlerap CULTURE so this behavior by a prominent figure when the world is watching isn’t insignificant.
If the integrity of a Battlerap can be BOUGHT so easily.
Who does this harm on a cultural level?
What does this say?
This transformation of the culture curated by artistic integrity,
to one curated by a financial class system.
Who benefit from this phenomenon first?
This within itself is why Battlers don’t like judges battles.
They don’t like it when suggested judges for battles are non-Battlers. they reject that system “because they’re not Battlers”
And when Battlers are suggested it’s “but such and such is biased” LMAOOOO
Meanwhile there are competitive sports that are subjective being monetized on the highest level.
This is a business model that could’ve been implemented in Battlerap, if the cultural integrity had been preserve. as this was the case in the early stages of Battlerap.
But yeah, be unaware how cultures get colonized all you want.
It’s not that deep when it’s ppl nikkas like, until the VLADs and Adam22s do the same thing
we talmbout Twork looking out for someone who looked out for him...you takin warp zones leapin from world to world...aight man it's all connected i'll entertain it
You talmbout the integrity of twork. the man who chokes time and time again, and is repeatedly caught stealing other people's bars. the integrity...of a purse snatcher who still got fans en masse. integrity BEEN cooked what are we doing here?
i'm not even mad at the rest of your babble but it hinges on this idea that battle rap as a whole is growing, and furthermore, growing into something profitable to the point where someone would go purchase it. These mfs usually spend money to make money and it doesn't seem like right now the returns justify the investments. Why else them Caffeine budgets shrink? How many million view battles we have in the last few years? Battles aint getting good payouts from Youtube? They gotta purchase a standalone app? this shyt been broke, a judged battle aint gon do shyt
anywho i aint mad at Tay Roc vs Jerry Wess on NOME, especially with how few URL events are coming out nowadays
