Something about these UW battles feels disconnected. Smack Battles and even (and especially) those Battle America battles had a type of presence about them in regards to the production value that made you feel like you were watching a movie almost

Arsonal battles don't have that appeal anymore imo he's not evolving with the culture. shyt feels like we've heard every non-personal bar. nikka just looking for a check, can't be mad at that though.

OT but this nikka daylyt spit that :dwillhuh:

i think the issue with the last event was ars trying to hard to be better than smack that he not figuring out that what smack does work.

so ars drops the battles timely, but when smack delays them he making the buzz for them bigger. in marketing you learn that complaints travel 10x faster than good news. so with all the bickering people do on those battles is just makes the talk about the opponents and the anticipation for them bigger than it would be if he was just dropping them all willy nilly.

then ars has his whole audience sitting down. smack got people standing up. you have more energy to cheer and get riled up when you standing up. if you sitting down you liable to fall asleep and thats why the noise is so dead at the ars event.

now ars trying to go all out war against smack, when he needs to just focus on making his league more than a sideshow act until a smack battle is released. dudes just going there for a check. he needs to change that.

I agree, It really feels like he's missing the fundamentals of this sh)t. You gotta have crowds of people directly behind these MCs and nikkuhs standing in the crowd or else it feels like you're watching a Broadway show or some sh)t.

Some of the Camera angles on those battle america battles had me like :ohh:

Plus their "preview" game was on point.

Can someone give me a rundown of what happened between Ars and smack?

Just a bunch of shyt talking from Ars aimed directly at Smack, Smack throws sub shots back. Ars talkin shyt on the radio, till Beasley came thru on the Batphone and made Ars look real stupid live on the radio. Also when Ars did the 1st UW event he used URL footage without permission in a promo trailer and because he was chattin shyt about Smack at the same time they made him take down the video and re-edit it out without the Smack footage iirc.

Short Version.

very well put. It seem like he made UW to try to overthrow Smack and its not working at all.

Dude gotta try to climb his way up like Smack did and its gonna take years to do it, plus it doesn't help that Every battle on there doesn't have that much replay value.

Don't try to feed on whatever URL's flaws, cuz their fan base is already there and its growing, just do your own thing

until the uw gets respect like the url, they should just focus on getting the rappers hungriest to prove themselves instead of the best dudes with nothing to prove. Guys from KOTD, GrindTime, and PG that can't get on url cards would bring their best shyt to get more exposure than they have now, url rappers can bring their worst shyt because anyone watching a UW battle probably knows them already
