Essential The Official Battle Rap Random Thoughts Thread (URL, KOTD, UW etc...)

Looks like there's a new Smack Volume coming

Announcement 1: Tay Roc vs Ill Will

Might be a night of rematches, we'll see

I guess I don't see Danja as this super innocent ass nikka like everyone else. I get ghostwriting songs for labels or whatever, but ghostwriting in a competitive sport like battle rap is super corny. Danja and Verb combined their powers and still got walked by Cal and Geechi is the kicker.

Danja literally said "we ghostwriters" in his battle against Lotta Zay during that classic 2nd round, it was a double entendre but that means he meant it to be taken like that

"But what's a sin to God?
We ghostwriters, take that shyt you sold/soul, spear it/spirit, shyt i ascend to God
What's more concrete than The Block?"

I thought it was weird no one addressed him saying that and wrote off as they helping female battlers which we already know was happening

He was referencing Writer's Block as a whole tho

And you getting preyed (prayed) on
I turn this room to a Synagogue, you getting sent to God.
But what's a sin to God?
You'll see your soul ascend to God, after getting a blast from us (blasphemous)
We Ghost-writers, take that shyt you sold (soul), spear it(spirit) shyt I'll send/sin to God.
What's more concrete than the block/Bloque?!
I'll play center guard, in lieu/Lew of Alcindor

Spoiler: Alcindor

God. My Killer Instinct gon make me Flame and BODY this nikka, I'm like

.. GOD!!! - Danja Zone

That battle was a horror movie, JESUS

That whole stanza was incredible

Verb Stans tryna shift blame to Danja in bad faith to deflect.

The issue is the buyer of bars, which is Aye Verb.

All other finger pointing to ghostwriters is dishonest and not a new revelation in Hiphop or Battlerap in general.

The crime is and was always using another nikka bars.

Meh nobody asks for this. I'll will after all that RBE RBE bullshyt comes back to URL cause that weirdo ARP went bankrupt lol

He already lost before the battle

 

[theflyest]

Expecting civilians to put up money is insulting.

Where them get money nikkas at they be braggin bout every battle

Battlers are insane tryna shame ppl for rightfully addressing and pointing fingers at the unnecessary dumb shyt Geechi did that got him in this situation in the first place.

Nunna them keepin it real about him doin this to himself like Surf did tryna play PR games.

Cowards.

Very insulting. Civilians have already put money in his hands multiple times with the champion of the year shyt. His bum ass probably lost it in the casino the very next day.

Nygga be rollin 30 deep, and none of those nyggas can help him out. All they can say is “damn, free Geechi.”


That gang shyt is only cute for rolling deep and looking intimidating. There really are no benefits.

 

[T-K-G]

nikkas out here tryna divert attention from Verb to Mickey Factz and Danja Zone, because they crushed their views about him

VERB commisioned a ghostwriter, bring the smoke on THAT nikka

Verb lame for being a legend and falling off so bad he had to get help from a guy who had to learn how to not look like a dork at 30, his spot in battle rap history is up for grabs cuz we dont know how long he's been doing this.

Danja lame for helping other nikkas look good when he knows damn well that same Verb would've spoken to him like a peon if he was still a major player in battlerap. But i can understand if he just is looking at it as a means to take care of himself and family giving people verses.

Mickey lame cuz he honestly should have better things to do than just arguing with the toxic ass battle world, every other notable artist distanced themselves the second they noticed most of these nikkas were dusty scam artists, for some reason he stayed.

There's no excuse why he isn't with Lupe rn tryna get rap accredited at Ivy league institutions, none, he didn't even try to take Royce spot on the pod after Lu bodied him. nikka put out his own diss to Royce and submerged himself in the battle rap media world. Purposely slumming it up because he feels like a OG with them while everyone else in rap treats him like a duck.


He shouldn't even be in any kind of situation with a damn Aye Verb or Danja Zone, nikka coulda been on Joe Budden podcast if he moved smarter


As indoctrinated as Surf is, it's crazy how he outmaneuvered everyone else in battle rap in terms of entertainment industry networking

He did that shyt in-between being a fukking idiot selling drugs on IG and snap meanwhile the "smart battlers" still clearly tryna figure shyt out in their lives

 

[theflyest]

Speaking of Danja, I do think he benefited from Verb as well. Wasn’t he under Verb’s wing when he went on that run? I’ll have to check the timeline.

Collection plate from the poor every Sunday while driving a Rolls type shyt. FOH

And remember when they were tryna shame Nitty and DNA for having 9 to 5s?

Goofy as hell. Get a fukkin job.

Blame goes both ways Danja coulda told that nikka no and let everyone know verb looking for ghostwriters my rule of thumb is if you cant stand on other people knowing about something you did then you're at fault as well, "secrets" in art creation are for things you aren't proud of doing OR your worried someone will steal ideas from you, and we know which one ghostwriting falls under


Ghostwriters know the whole reason they are "ghost" is because they are choosing to be dishonest about how something got made


We know QP writes for people and it became less of a big deal when he started owning it you cant half ass it, you gotta either be completely transparent or take that shyt to the grave. Any other route you are taking an L somewhere

If Danja woulda said “no” and told the world, Stans woulda played “word vs word” probable deniability games for Verb arguing there’s “no proof”. We both know this.

We’ve seen this play out when Surf got exposed by Danny Myers for having Ah Di Boom write for him.

Battlerap is rooted in Messianism, not egalitarianism.

The secret isn’t on the ghostwriters, it’s on the BUYER of bars.
The rapper wants the writer to be ghosts, not the other way around.

To make it about ghostwriters fails to center the sin of having others write for you.

Same reason ppl don’t blame Nas for writing for Will Smith’s
“Gettin Jiggy Wit it” or Jay-Z writing for Dr Dre’s “Still DRE”.

But they do blame Drake for having ghostwriters.

The sin is on the buyer of bars and has always been.
