It's not unrealistic to expect an anniversary card to seem like a major event at allthat's literally what the majority of companies try to do in entertainment on anniversaries
Card should be all of the biggest names that battle on KOTD, i didnt follow the situation they had with Diz so i cant say who would realistically work with them again
I get it, but you said imagine if Beasley and Smack did this. The reality is the standards are completely different. Other leagues can do some shyt like this and nothing happens, which is why KOTD would put out a card like this.

They can't afford to bring in top level names in their current financial state, plus they've seemingly burned bridges with top tier guys who would've normally did them a solid. RBE is the main competition to URL now, KOTD needs to reconnect with the Grindtime crowd and try and corner that lane again.
The best thing they could've done IMO (especially considering its in Toronto) is make Decade entirely nostalgia based. Have every former KOTD champ (especially the Canadian ones) on the card, the washed Canadians like PoRich will damn near battle for free. Think of the Royal Rumble in WWE, someone from the past like Hacksaw Jim Duggan is gonna get a bigger crowd pop than a returning current wrestler like Bray Wyatt.

Just finished watching Bodied and it’s left me feeling confused.
The first 2/3 of the film was pretty entertaining as a satirical view on battle rap and how awkwardly white people try to fit in but then the last third of the film took this sort of weird social commentary view that battle rap (or hip-hop culture, in general) is a space devoid of morality and is a cesspool for [insert label here] and that a “good” person wouldn’t participate in it. I found the ending weird because it didn’t feel like there was a payoff for it all besides saying “Yeah, this is for degenerates but so what?”
The positive was getting to see the battle rappers get a bit of shine. Lux and Hollow was the highlight of the film but Diz’s writing was so prevalent throughout this film. Everything was a damn multi

I think it was less the commentary on battle rap as a whole and more of the lack of a payoff for an outsider entering a culture they don't truly understand. Adam fully buys-in to what he perceives makes a successful battler and as a result he loses his girlfriend, his school, and the friendship of his mentor. I liked that after the 2 on 2 him and Ben didn't just magically patch things up because they won.

If that’s the case, I don’t understand the message it was trying to convey. Was it trying to say to that White people can’t be good in battle rap unless they void themselves of their morals and embrace negative stereotypes? Was Pat Stay meant to be the extreme version of what a white battle rapper needs to be?
