Roc and Brizz seem like good guys, I have no idea why they would want to be shooting fake crime scenes with Surf at a time like this. shyt can easily go left in so many ways.

shyt, I have people I won't even ride in the car with because I know how they're moving out here. I always drive myself to functions with certain people involved, learned that lesson the hard way.

This is how out of touch he is. I just clicked his most recent interview. He's clowning K-Shine for battling on the middle of the card.

We all know that most battlers PREFER not to go last. K-Shine just wasn't able to really articulate this for some reason.
Nah, that response doesn’t really work because it’s beside his point. He’s just saying Shine isn’t a headliner and that’s why Shine didn’t really have a response.

In his own words he claims he had a private convo with Smack and Smack went public first when Millz said he wanted 100k :mjlol: Which in Smack's defense is outrageous. Millz doesn't understand that Shady backed Total Slaughter, the URL don't got that kind of budget and Millz in 2018 won't yield that kind of return.
Millz said himself he knew nobody was giving him $100,000, he just made that demand so everyone would know they have to come to him with a serious offer. It’s no different than what Mook did.

Millz was talking that shyt on the BossChick show so I decided to go back and watch his "legendary" fukk Everybody round. Millz is going to die badly. You can't get off that type of simple rhymes with no beat. We've had YEARS of hearing Verb, Diz, etc. give us the best multi accapellas ever. No way "fukk ya Moms, fukk ya squad" is going to work. Millz might fukk around and get booed.

I have a hard time believing Sir Castro was a beast like that.. when I first saw him Smack DVD he was wack to me..

I think it's more of a Respect thing.. I wonder has he thought about coming back?

ARP will pay him :mjlol:

Sire Castro vs. O Solo lol

I didn't take it as out of touch, I think he just said it to play him. You have to push angles even if you don't agree, but you know the fans will buy into it.

There’s an accumulation of things that makes me think he’s out of touch.

One of the biggest ones is that he’s seeking advice from Mook, as opposed to emcees that are really active.

Don’t get me wrong, Mook can give advice as far as “this is what I learned, this is what I should have done,” etc. However, these guys nowadays battle so much that they have way more experience then the “legends.”

However, the URL vets have more experience then the “legends.”

One of the telling signs that Mook could lose to Verb was when I heard Rex’s rounds for Reed. Mook heard Rex’s rounds and allowed him to get on stage and spit THAT? Said a lot about his standards for good and bad in today’s era

Damn, I ain't know he was that nice. That's crazy :ohhh:

It's fukked up we ain't get to see him in his prime cause it was before people was recording battles and putting them out like that.



You said it, he's not gonna be some megastar and because of that he is battling but if he could be a megastar with young money instead you think he wouldn't rather be a megastar. You think he wasn't trying to blow up and be a megatstar before? In fact, that's why he stopped battling and didn't battle in the URL era so he could take his career more serious.

Lloyd Banks would do it because he is lyrical, likes the culture and he knows he didn't work hard enough to blow up like he should have so he figures why not since he is not that big of a star.

When King Los did it was a step down, he did it cause his career didn't lead to much success aside from maybe writing for Diddy and being known as someone who freestyles very well.

With that said it can open the door to new opportunities, I mean look at Clips and them rapping on Wild N Out. However it's a step down imo from being a megatstar or even having a solid music career with a dedicated fan base because the money is not the same nor is the level of opportunity. I'm a fan of battle rap but even I have to admit it's not on the same level as being an artist with a fanbase and in fact battling right now is on the decline but I hope things turn around.

How is battle rap declining?

lulz Rex told us that Lux heard his rounds for Danny. I think the problem you speak of has nothing to do with Mook at all.

True but Mook caught a lot of flack for that too lol.

Harlem nikkas always trying to hustle some shyt, why he had to go that far out the window with his negotiations :russ: you think that was fair?

Lol are you blind breh? It's not as popping as it was back when SM2 dropped and to me it seems ever since that total slaughter event went down it has been on a decline. The viewership and even the buzz behind different battles is not the same as it was years ago. I mean shyt used to be so big that I used to watch different vlogs and Angry Fan's show, even Heavy Bags, after awhile I stopped paying attention to all that and I'm sure others did too.

I mean, to be fair, that's LEGITIMATELY the way people should negotiate. It's just that theirs was more public. You don't come in with a number that's "reasonable" to you, because chances are the other party was willing to pay you more anyway. When you have leverage, you come in with a number that you're sure they're going to say no to, in hopes that they'll likely come back with a number higher than what you were willing to take in the first place. :yeshrug: It's not about being "fair" breh, it's about getting to the bag.

Nygga I wanted to get your perspective. Based on your response, you are definitely a casual fan. It was basically the response that I expected.

If battle rap was truly on this decline that you speak of, there is no way in hell the URL would be doing the volume of events they are doing. The emergence of PPV has changed everything.

Stop comparing every event to SM2. No event will ever be as big as that.

You have posted nothing but long paragraphs of nonsense.

You're in here talking about Heavy Bags vlogs, so clearly you don't know what the fukk is going on in battle rap currently. Please save your opinions for the uninformed, thanks.
