Get the F out of here with that BS.

Every Olympic sports is judged. There doesnt seem to be issues there. The UFF is judged, and the right person always won. KOTD even judges battles.

URL has the best talent but they're battling for NO REASON if it isn't judged. The point of a sport is to have WINNERS and LOSERS, that is what makes any competition compelling.

Do you think Mayweather would be who he is if boxing fans were a bunch of dikkriders who woudn't allow the sport to be judged? No, and 44 times May went into that ring knowing anything can happen with the judges and still won. That is what makes sports. URL is nothing but glorified sparring, nothing more nothing less.

Cut off the emotional BS.

Battle rap is not a physical sport. It's a sport of opinions. Your losing sight of what the platforms are for. The whole point of battle rap is to use the platform to build a name, network, & move on to bigger things. The URL/KOTD staffs have said this numerous times. A lot of guys just stay there because they enjoy it, or stay because they can't make music to develop a following.

Judging also encourages battle rappers to dumb it down to please the crowd & judges.

Who's to say there wouldn't be corrupt judging?

Let's take DNA/Chilla. DNA won in the building. If that battle was judged, there's a high possibility he would have won the battle. The footage drops. The perception has changed. Your able to catch everything Chilla says. Many felt Chilla's bars overwhelmed DNA's performance.

Alot of people want to hear clever shyt, be entertained, & hear bars. There's alot of people who don't even care about winners/losers. Your reasoning for the sport being judged is that your tire of fans dikkriding certain battle rappers. Who gives a fukk what someone else thinks? How would judging stop dikkriding? If someone enjoys watching some perform, they will continue watching them because they enjoy their style.

When it comes to battle rap & music, it's all subjective. You will never see me get in an argument over let's say, a common argument is who is better between biggie, pac, nas & jay-z. Reality of it is they are all top tier guys, it just comes down to what you like. There is no right or wrong answer.

You cant compare battle rap to sports. Way too much subjective shyt. We not talking about punches thrown and landed bruh.Battling is more intricate.

That's why you don't battle people in their hoods/let their homeboys be the judges. Pretty simple problem to solve actually.

Look at the Gattas/Sarah Kana battle. Everyone knows Gattas won that but since it was in Sarah's hood they gave it to her. Yes the wrong person won but guess what? That's what makes the battle, because it had stakes. Someone still won and someone lost, which is why we even still talk about that battle today.

Those was rap legends who robbed Tech 9 and Cortez. They wasnt ice or goodz homeboys as far as we know.

Like I said judging in battle rap won't solve anything. Take battles for what they're worth.

He's right, how can you have a league with no decided winners or losers.

If you were to ask, probably about 5 battlers right now think they're undefeated :stopitslime:

He's not right. Stop looking at battling like its a cut and dry look at the scoreboard type sport. It being judged is just going to cause controversy from suspect wins.

We got undefeated nikkas with 4 losses :lolbron:

No hard feelings battle fam, I just really hate the way debatables are killing the game. Either you won or loss IMO. Even if its close, someone has to officially win or lose for me.
