Danny has become more tolerable but the way he transitions to the next bar is still lackluster and he always has those corny lines
Agreed, i think he doesnt write everything at once in the same place, he prolly does that Hollow thing where they just create random lines all over the place then stick em together

Its not even the corny lines. I just cant fukk with his delivery. I feel exhausted just listening to him.

I tried to put Danny v Glu on my flatscreen and my wife kept turning the volume down when Danny came on. I could see it was really getting to her. I love battle rap, but I felt bad.. this nikka Danny sounds like a madman.

I'm going to ask this question before seeing the battle.

Did T-Top take a dive? Is there anything he stood to gain by losing this battle? Was he a little nervous putting that pen to the paper this time around, knowing that he might have different sets of eyes on him? I doubt he made any type of references to Pontiac or Detroit locals. Is the next match-up he's locked in so good, that this was just "whatever"? I'm curious. I don't recall ever hearing a unanimous "T-Top lost" before.

His worst performance ever, though I never watched UFF, so I might be wrong.

It seems like a RBE style matchup for me. It really took a Mook card for nyggas to notice HOW RBE books battles.

I'm telling you, ARP just books the type of battles that he wants to see.

I would have matched Iron Solomon Vs Danny Myers, kicked Bigg K off the card, & found someone else for Pat.

I'm not mad that ARP is doing that. He comes across not like he is just only a league but a true genuine fan as a well as a business man.

Most of the time, I feel like Smack, Beasley, Norbes, and Chico do that if they get the chance. And sometimes, they gotta run with whoever their sponsorship is present something and they run with it IF the budget looks right. Like that dude Harry that always wanted DNA on all those cards because he is a sponsor.

Im talking about battles where someone wins 2 rounds CLEARLY and chokes in the other (that hasnt been the case with any Surf battle ever)

And fukk that 2 rounds shyt, too. Chokes take away from the battles period. You count them when they happen and people remember it.

Serious question, What does a Smack Sponsor get in return?

Beside that annoying Mexican with the blunts, I've never seen a 3rd party commercial before a URL video.

What do said sponsors get in return?

Sponsors use these platforms to get their product out. That's why they pay for advertisement. Same why all sponsors work. All commercials are sponsors paying for ad time on TV and radio, magazines etc...so they can get exposure for their product.

And go back to the old Smack URL joints, all these sponsors had product placement at the beginning or somewhere in the video. You don't remember Exclusive Vodca?

i never got battle rap retirement announcements. you dont have to file papers or anything. just stop rapping. then when you wanna come back, rap again.

a very clear parallel to messageboard retirement threads. just stop typing
I get what you're saying but it's mainly for their hardcore fans.
