you dont think it'd still roughly round out to the same nikkas? :ld:

the only real anomaly would be lux cuz he got 2 battles that prolly add up to like 7-8 milly by themselves :manny:

Nah not really. Those KOTD and Grindtime guys have waaaaaay more battles than the Smack/URL guys. Theasarus, Dizaster, Illmac, DNA, Ars, Soul Khan, Dirtbag Dan are really high because they have a lot of battles in different leagues.

For example, Illmac is ahead of Surf, but I guarantee Surf averages a good 300K views more per battle than Illmac.

i was talking specifically about the URL dudes :manny: the order might be different but it's gonna be the same nikkas essentially

Listened to the last two Angryfan radios, some cat called up and said that URL is working on signing artists to URL... Prez also hinted on his episode that URL was doing something big that the other leagues can't compete with, he also said Smack/Beasley helped him get an apartment and some money in his pocket so this may be true.

them nikkas who came from that total slaughter shyt told URL what time it was over there and they know they had to do somethin
Well I was saying here before that... For structures sake... But yeah... It has to be structured... People always say "URL battlers" or "KOTD" Nah, if you're not under a contract you're not property to ANYONE. Dudes better get their business right.

It must be a TV deal. Smack's been after one for a while.

idk how good of an idea it is to sign to a certain league, the way beasley was talking about it is he wouldn't want them to do battles else where period. Meaning they could put you on ice for a while and then offer you a shytty battle just to put you out there again.

if the battlers were smart they'd have something stating they can take 2-3 battles per year on outside leagues of their choosing as long as those leagues pay for everything



but then again i wouldn't sign no contract to be a professional battle rapper :yeshrug:

nikkas said fukk usin this as a platform we're here to stay :pachaha:

The problem with battlers is they rely strictly on battles for money which leads to them signing these contracts with Smack. People have been signed to Smack for years. I remember Ars and T-Rex talking about nikkas signing exclusive deals to Smack over 2 years ago

wasn't that one of the reasons ars had a problem with them in the first place?

No WAY it's gonna be that amateur... Come on man... There should be deals just for some kind of order alone... No way it's gonna be as simple as "we signed you, you only batte here and we're throwing two events a year" no way.
