Maybe JayBlac doesn't see the need to raise money when Smack can afford to pay these guys more.

I'm from Harlem. At any given time I may try to relate something to the movie "Paid In Full".

SM7, Smack's blog & the subsequent fall of NJ Twork = "I AIN'T EATING"

URL is allowing Twork to be the fall guy when THEY don't give him a rest, nor do they pay him well enough to take a break. Twork pulled the dummy move and started dissing the fans.

So the guy in the red has to be Twork... smh they gave Ryda his chain lol


I don’t necessarily disagree but Twork is also known to charge most leagues around here like 1500 for 3 rounds, so he’s partly to blame for any money issues. He was doing that at the peak of his hype

Also explains the recycling and choking. He was probably eating good off 3000 a month for 4.5 rounds until it reached critical mass and his stock got hurt because of it

The only thing holding back Bill Collector from being up there on the best battlers of the year list is that he's not doing enough three rounders :manny:

The biggest issue is the leagues keep booking certain rappers for multiple battles at a time and not utilising their entire talent pool. NJT can fukk up on SM7 because he knows he’s already been booked for SM8. If the leagues booked rappers one battle at a time, it would make performances mean more because shytting the bed could be the difference between being on the next card and sitting down for a while. Rather than giving him a plate, why not book Jerry Wess or Mr Wavy (who’s last battle was a win against NJT).

Also, URL created this beast. Smack is on camera sayin he didn’t mind that Surf only came with 2 rounds at Nome and they insisted on booking Chess for every card when he was fukking up.

Facts. Couldn't agree more.
Seriously...why would you reward your new talent that fukks up future endeavors that quickly? Demote them. hell, make them battle someone they don't want to, make them sit out, or something'. But don't reward them with the bread and the looks. If KOTD did that with Charron and he was fukking up like that.....or hell, Bullpen with Bad News and he was fukking up like that...its the same because the owner is rewarding bad habits, terrible attitudes, and below average work ethic.

Battle rappers on strike.

Yep. Apparently a few of them a trying to create a union like CAPS and DME have been saying for a long time. I think its Hitman, Cortez, and a few other folks. Announced on AFM.

I was there for that. I remember someone harassing Roc before the battle, telling him how tired he is of hearing him saying "That's light".

From what I remember, one of the mics was malfunctioning.
During JC & Roc, JC had the bad mic. During Yung Ill & K Shine, Yung Ill had the bad mic. Whoever was on the left side of the stage (the viewer's right) got the bad mic. So that means B Magic had the bad mic vs Ill Will.

I think Clips had the bad mic for Surf, and STILL bust Surf's ass lmao.
yeah i was there i remember that, i hardly heard anything during shine/ill, I just know k shine was louder lol, on cam i had Ill

lol..... the battlers and the leagues had times they should’ve done this... both too late
Unless they got a fund to help pay the battlers who live off of events this shyt wont work

You gotta make a union

And you gotta have some type of requirements/applications to determine who's protected by the union and who isnt, Slick Sam shouldnt be covered when nobody even checkin for him


Now if they JUST striking against URL it could easily work :ehh: those wannabe leagues stay overpaying cuz they thirsty
