Aight, I gotta question. CAPS brought this up in his blog going at Vada...can't remember which one but he mentioned that whole battle rap union thing again. This time, he said, there should be one for the bloggers and one for the battlers. My thing is: shouldn't there just be one union for battle rap and there's a write up of articles of shyt you can/cannot do? No matter if you are a league owner, battle rapper, blogger, and etc. Certain rules will apply to other specifically for battle rappers (ghost writing), battle league owners (blocking battles), and bloggers (revenge porn type shyt), but I think something that is written in effect should be considered. As much as people say battle rap is a sport and a business now, why not have taken more seriously to that level so there won't be another re-storing of the order.

Well at this point, I can't even say just too many street nikkas; but you're right tho. Seems like weirdos and people with other kinds of personality disorders are in this shyt now. Its bad enough that one of the top bloggers got indicted on rape charges, battle rappers/battle rap fans are raping and killing kids, and etc. With that said, its up to the OGs to form this shyt. Money can be the motivation but it would take a lot for it to happen with a battle rap union.

:mjlol:

Jayblac had to be in denial because the whole situation is bizarre.

What makes the whole situation bizarre is that he’s lying and creating fake accounts where there is no benefit. When you tell Jayblac “KOTD is flying me out,” how does it benefit you to lie? Nygga you wanted those Oxxxymiron views.

Going from War Report, to eventually joining Champion, and using Champion to build his channel. These things make sense. I understand these moves.

Everything else after that has just been weirdo. The guy is a weirdo.

IF Chris Bisexual comes out of his situation unscathed, battle rap would welcome him back before they welcome Vadafly imo.

That shyt is very very weird. I definitely remember Kenny Lewis starting the whole “keke is wack why is she on here” thing there. Others may have thought it but he was the first to say it on every video. What’s crazy I think he actually replied to me before when I defended her :francis:

Problem with this is too many leagues. In sports, each sport, whether it be Basketball, Football, whatever, there's multiple leagues, and they all have unions. Each union has different regulations and rules. It's gonna be hard for leagues to operate under these specific guidelines also because of lack of balance. For example, URL can afford to not book someone for ghostwriting. But can a league that's got 7K Youtube subscribers? Especially if it's a rapper that might be affordable and can draw attention to their league?

It's a good idea in theory, and I do believe you can build something off that premise but it would have to be ironed out more and figured out how the rules wont hurt smaller leagues.

:dead: Avacado is CLEARLY better than twizz and ya boy clip at this point

Tryna make it a race thing is corny as fukk, that man shot 2 of the cleanest ppv's URL ever had, even the official drop is noticeably better, idgaf what he looks like.


And no @Momentum you haven't said explicitly that it's a race thing, but your wording is EXACTLY what someone would do if they didn't wanna be called out for it :lufdup:

We ain't stupid nikka

and URL had plenty of video/audio fukk ups so I'm not rolling on that Ored/Brizz angle either, I bought the ppv and it looks good there so I'm fine
Clearly said I didn't care what color the cameraman was. I should neg this.

We'll ok, just an idea...hear me out...but let's say there's some shyt like a process for leagues to be accredited. If you get accredited like a school or whatever, you can have access to potential sponsors that help the cost of the event. Because everyone cares the most about money in this shyt anyway. Where would the money come from? I dunno. But if a league was a accredited or certified or whatevr, they could have better chances of being to grow as businesses. Maybe it's a bit too optimistic and organized but it's something to consider.
