only thing that hurt chilla was his 10 minute rounds. If he had quicker rounds it would have been alot closer live.

judged battles will give the ones with performance an edge and will cause the ones with complex bars to dumb it down which I'm not a fan of..

I don't need a judge to tell me who won, let's keep it a stack.. MOST of the times real fans know who lost, who won, and which battles are debatable..

in the long run, having judges will have more essential cons than pro's imo..

Only issue I might have with judging is it may encourage a guy like Chilla Jones to dumb it down. Everyone said he lost to DNA in the building. That shyt came out on film, & that nygga was fire.

These are the points I keep making over and over but these guys want to live in a fantasy land where judging will get rid of every battler they think is wack lyrically and so battlers cant say they didnt lose a battle everyone knows they did.

The good outweighs the bad when it comes to judges. :manny:

With judged battles you can offer more money to the winner, giving battlers an incentive to bring their 'A' game. You also get a ladder for up and coming battlers to climb.


:whoa: There will be f*ck decisions, but that overall it will be an improvement, and lets not just assume judges are not gonna be fukking wit Chilla :comeon: In fact I think at least one 'bars over everything' judge should be a requirement.
But we all know you need more than bars to be nice :sas2:
Right now we got niqqas that have battled each other both sayin they undefeated :rudy: Sh*t is mad corny.

Does anyone actually listen to the war report? It's like pg radio. Everytime I check their blogtalkradio page, it's nothing but pg nyggas getting interviewed. I understand it has to be done, but I can't listen to it.

As far as judging, I don't really care. My interest in battle rap has been slowly dwindling over time. For me, it's similar to how my interest in new music has dwindled. The guys I enjoyed get older & fall off, & the newer guys coming in just don't really do it for me. I'm not through with battle rap yet, but I just know there's gonna be a time when imma fall back from it.

Mook vs DNA
Surf vs (insert Rex, Cortez, K-Shine, or one of Smack's PG favorites here)
Big T vs (insert Rex, Cortez, K-Shine, or one of Smack's PG favorites here)
Ill Will vs (insert Rex, Cortez, K-Shine, or one of Smack's PG favorites here)

This is what we have to look forward to since, you know, bad performances mean nothing.

Technology people. They can rewind the bars in damn near real time and ya'll know this.

I'm stepping back out of this now. :stopitslime:

I don't think Jaz/40 will be a preference battle though. They are both in a similar lane, so I believe there will be a clear winner. I believe someone is gonna be better than the other. I agree with the consistency vs haymakers though. Lux & Hollow are in 2 completely different lanes. Hollow has more of that grindtime feel.

I'll say this. We'll take Gattas for example. If Gattas vs a top tier QOTR both come with their A Game, it will always be a preference battle. She's in a lane of her own.

I get your point, just find it hard to believe someone will clearly win considering they are both so good. I will say this though, you know how AngryFan has a facebook group? Well QOTR has a secret group too of only a couple hundred people in there and that's where the female battle rappers talk shyt to each other in there. Apparently, Jaz is gunna get REAL personal with 40. They said she plans to do have quicker set ups and talk about how 40 is a "bisexual mom", how she is always high around her kids, as well as how 40 had to live in a shelter with her kids at one point, which is apparently true as well. I just gotta see this battle.

Judged battles won't solve a single fukking thing, stop this madness. What will solve the most pressing issues - which are quality matchups the fans want, that make sense - is someone other than a black garden gnome who can't stop saying nahmean, yahurd, and nahmsayin long enough to stop running URL like a fukk nikka fraternity to put together thoughtful, well-run events.

No more DNA battles on big cards, period. New blood on big cards. Battlers who have been putting in work against supposed top tiers. No battles that should've happened 5 years ago but are boring and pointless at this point. Incentives that encourage battlers to bring their A game to big events. These obtuse nikkas gonna keep booking their friends and associates for lackluster events and watch everything they built walk right out the door and make someone else major money.

When you have 2 people that do the same thing, there's usually somebody better at it & it's very noticeable. This is the same reason why I picked 40 to 3-0 Bonnie, who is a very capable battle rapper. This is why it's such a risky battle for both. Someone is gonna lose imo. I believe this is why Norbes wanted Jaz/Gattas. As long as both come with it, no one loses that battle. Jaz really wanted the 40 battle though.

Initially i dismissed Jaz' chances, but as the battle gets closer, I give her a great chance to win. 40 taking 3 battles within 30 days is wack, although she had ample time to prepare. I know what 40 is gonna bring. I don't know what Jaz is gonna bring, because she rarely battles.

Look at DNA/Ill Will. They have a different image, but very similar as far as their rap style. Both freestyle, both are kinda corny, both joke, both are kinda grindtime style mc's. It wasn't even competitive.

Look at QB/Phara. Same lane. It's gonna be a screaming match. I think QB does everything better. She'll win

B-Magic vs Conceited at SM4. Someone is gonna lose.
