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

[Cool Dr. Money]

The game was kinda corny and just some shyt to get people talking but I think he was just making a point and for the most part he made it. Many are not fans like that. And as I said its just a popularity contest and as mad as angry fan and 3letterman want to get, they do the popularity shyt too. I'm a nas fan, on call I can damn near recite at least 1 verse for 90% of his catalog. We gotta be honest most of us are just fans of the battles not really of the battle rappers

Most these dudes going lux crazy can't even spit 4 bars in a row in his battle for miles. I'm pissed at lux right and on call I can damn near spit his whole 2nd rd miles.



People can get mad at verb but when the last time a new dude set shyt off like this? The fact they can't Is why they can't take the top tier dudes spots

Verb was right about people being fanatics or just casual fans and black people wanting everything for free, standing on stage trying to get camera time. But asking a caller what fitted a rapper had on in a battle is ridiculous we listen to the bars while we watch the battle

Chillas probably my fav battler but 4 bars from the cash eatin battle off the top of my head? I can probably do it on here with some time to think but on air? That game was dumb as shyt nikkas don't memorize EVERY battle like that only they're favorites. nikkas should have started spittin o solo rounds.

that whole game was just a troll to get nikkas thinkin imo , just to make nikkas shut up for a second and listen before he really got into the main points he wanted to make

and he pulled that shyt off masterfully had 3letterman over there frothin at the mouth

I bet these dudes will be listening closely to they fav battle rappers bars now lol

He spit a ton of real shyt after that game. Truth of the matter most fans do sway really easily and the new dudes ain't turning it up the way verb, calicoe, hitman, Cortez , hollow etc did when URL first started. It was because of them and others that URL became number 1.

Now this shyt is just about popular names on cards on events. Ain't no hype or anticipation with this shyt no more

It's so much riding on this lux hollow shyt. If that battle is wack the game in trouble because we literally would have nothing to look forward to. These dudes ain't doing nothing to keep the game interesting .

i was really with him on the point of alot of new dudes aint even spittin real bars anymore, everybody tryna spit the same lyrical miracles/schemes

last 2 battles i seen nikkas kickin that real man shyt was Bigg K and Goodz and BOTH of them won imo against nikkas who was focused only on bars

shyt even head ice got outbarred against daylyt but it's debatable either way cuz he was spittin real shyt


sidenote: im still fukkin dead when he said "k-shine may have clearly tried to fukk another man but nikkas is still cheerin for him, yall nikkas aint real"

 

[Cool Dr. Money]

Verb was right about shyt being oversaturated every week its a new league, new card, a new "star" ready to batttle magic, chilla, etc

Battles WILL be on YouTube:

UW Battle League denies allegations that it will not release Loaded Lux's battle with Hollow Da Don on YouTube.

UW Battle League has confirmed that it will release Hollow Da Don versus Loaded Lux on YouTube, but it is set to be handled differently from what Battle Rap leagues have traditionally done with high-profile match-ups.

"The 'High Stakes' battles will not be immediately aired on YouTube like previous events hosted by UW," D Rock, a co-owner of UW Battle League, says in an exclusive statement to HipHopDX. "However, it will be aired at some point. We don't believe in holding battles hostage like some may do."

D Rock also explained why the company is not set to air the battle on YouTube immediately.

"As a company, we're striving to push the envelope, to encourage innovation and to expand the culture of Battle Rap," D Rock says. "The 'High Stakes' event gave UW Battle League the opportunity to accomplish all three goals. Our pay-per-view business model is a breakthrough opportunity which may come as a shock to many at first, given that its something different, but in the long run, it will only help advance the sport of Battle Rap."

UW Addresses Dependability Of Live Streaming PPV

UW's "High Stakes" is set to be aired live. Battle Rap leagues have had reservations regarding pay-per-view streaming in the past, at least in part due to a fear of the stream's feed dropping during live events. Canada's King of the Dot, for instance, has a pay-per-view strategy that requires a delay for a day for all pay-per-view streams, including its "Blackout 4" event, which scheduled for this weekend (January 24-25). SMACK/URL, an American Battle Rap league, does not have a pay-per-view option for any of its events.

D Rock was asked about what precautions the league has taken to ensure the pay-per-view's reliability. "The 'High Stakes' event will be hosted and produced by a trusted production company via UStream's live pay-per-view capability," D Rock says. "One additional perk for pay-per-view customers is that they will have access to the content for an ample amount of time, allowing them to rewind something they might have missed. We're confident on the positive impact this event will have on the culture."

UW Says No Date Set For YouTube Release Of Hollow Da Don Vs. Loaded Lux

Still, no timetable has been set for the YouTube release of the battle.

"Eventually the battles will be available on YouTube," D Rock says, "but UW will not give any specific time because even better options are being negotiated, so at the end of the day, the fans will be pleased. The fans are the priority."

UW's "High Stakes" event is set to feature several battles, including B Magic Vs. Daylyt and Hollow Da Don Vs. Loaded Lux. Hollow has said that Lux's camp requested that the battle not be released via YouTube.

"Me and Lux battle can only be witnessed in person or on da PPV," Hollow said in a December Twitter post. "No youtube at all...they got a tracker for bootlegs too."

In a series of posts, Hollow also referred to Loaded Lux as "greedy."

Lux's publicist, Jack Macnasty, spoke with HipHopDX January 6 about whether the battle would be posted on YouTube.

"These claims of greed being the motivation behind the pay-per-view not going directly to YouTube are more ridiculous than true," Jack Macnasty's statement said. "It just sounds like a ploy by the empty messenger to distract the fan. It’s not going to work. If greed were the motivation, Loaded Lux would be battling on as many cards as he could get on, and he could get on all of them. But it’s not greed. It’s the future survival of the culture and the people that started it remaining in control of it that drives the business decisions that were made. And no it’s not in Lux’s contract that the battle can’t go on YouTube. That is a lie. One of many that the empty messenger has told."

I have to say, Verb sounding like a battle rapper that think he's a fukking superstar. Son asking fans whether they are fanatics like son playing with words. This shyt sounds retarded .

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Verb was on some corny trollin shyt

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Angry Fan was goin in

 

[A.R.$]

Why are people so serious? Verb was obviously trolling. Its like when people take daylyt serious.

 

[Blaze007]

at this whole Verb interview b. This is a Classic BRA show.

Also, I agree with Verbs main point as well. especially the fact that back then they didn't need the whole "Proving ground" stage and some of them even got big names after 2 battles. Them nikkas had to fight for their lives

These new nikkas while some of them are dope they aren't as interesting as the big names were when they first came out

Edit: also when he mentioned how some of these battle rappers get passes for BS was the fukking truth

 

[FreshAIG]

Verb was saying some real shyt though

 

[dappadonna]

This nikka talking that Lightskin/Darkskin shyt
