Battlerappers do NOT deserve $500K a battle.

Battlers started gettin low 4 figures and didn’t know how to act when high 4 figures were offered and ain’t recover since.

nikkas acting like choking and no-shows not an elephant in the room that been hurting the culture for YEARS.

Failing to hold artists accountable creates bad work culture. The same bad work culture we can all see in the likes of Twork, Chess etc.

The Surf and current developing Geechi story bein examples of ppl not holding artists accountable for their decisions doesn’t help the collective and its future.

Refusal to hold them accountable prevents changed behaviour and only repeats the cycle.

SMACK sayin “I got all I need” after Surf’s underperformance vs Lux was a loud negative message enabled by favoritism when it shoulda been about culture.

To now argue they deserve more shows poor mentality and collective financial illiteracy.

You don’t reward underperformance with more money expecting better behavior.

That’s bad business, as quality should always be at the center of your product if you want longterm success. Especially when culture is involved.

Everytime nikkas talk about how much money they get I just don't believe it. Remember when that mayor had that event?? The way nikkas was talking it was like he was making everyone a millionaire

And I think geechi was there too
