If only Danny Myers had the best solution for his career

A broken clock is right twice a day. A dont forget Danny was the same nikka that stuck his nose in the Surf ghostwriting situation and came out looking stupid.

12 racks...losing to Steams...

Danny needs to sort himself out first.

Ok, do you agree about battles dropping no matter the case? Having that in a contract? Is that not fair? Don't clown this time either, just answer the question straight up.

No I dont agree with dropping battles no matter the case...that was one of the reasons Grindtime folded. No quality control. If I never saw Cortez vs Uno Lavoz or GE vs Calicoe I wont be mad. Fans claiming that theyll watch the battles regardless are full of shyt too, because the first thing they'll say if the battle turns out to be awful is that said league is falling off. We saw this with Bill Collector vs Wavy lol So if a league doesn't think that a battle lives up to their standard, they have a right not to put it out, because it affects their brand.

The board game trouble, probably just an American thing. The dice are in a bubble in the middle of the board and you have to pop it. Memories

Yeah we had that game over , was called something else though I def wouldn't of caught that bar

So ok, you're looking at the brands of the leagues more than the brands of the battle rappers. Ok I got you.

I agree, leagues shouldn't be obligated to PAY someone to edit your footage, then drop it on their channel. I'm sure you can negotiate something like that in the contract if you have enough leverage, but I don't know if it's worth bothering.

Outside of O-Red v Big Kannon, is there another unvaulted battle that just screams "You guys were going to vault this? WTF were you thinking?"

JC's third, fukkING STOP!

Trez spit a great battle and still had the Kevin Hart face in the end

JJDD vs QP comes to mind. Even though QP choked horribly in the 3rd, the battle was great.

I don't like the Grindtime argument because that's not what killed Grindtime at all. Grindtime just had bad business and lost a lot of battlers to URL or them just going on to other things. I know Caps says that a lot but it's not true. Also, Grindtime filmed waaaaay more battles per event then Smack, with really low quality battlers. URL pretty much has the best of the best, so even if a bad battle drops on the page here and there it's not gonna bring down the overall quality of the content on the channel because there's not gonna be enough bad battles to effect it.

I think all battles need to be dropped unless there's technical issues like fukked up audio or video.

I really wanted to see every vaulted Cortez battle. I wanted to see JC/Rich Dollarz.

I actually like watching people get dismantled. A bodybag can just be as entertaining as a close battle depending on if the guy was just that good. The bodybags where the guy just lost badly because he was just awful, I don't really care to see, but they should be released too. Since battle rap has a lot of story lines, missing battles is sorta equivalent to skipping over pages in a chapter of novel. Even if those pages weren't the best written, they kinda still need to be read to get a full grasp of everything.

Yea Grindtime just had too many seperate divisions run by different people and then you had oversaturation and battlers nobody cared about to fill those slots, and yea some big names left too, droppin all the battles from the people that have a lot of fans or are building a fan base is not a problem
