Lol oh Diz...lets not forget how he lost to Cortez on that KOTD stage after all that time of calling him out, smdh...
It's really crazy the amount of disrespect Cortez is shown when his career is legendary. A lot of these fools talk shyt and have jokes, but catch Ls off him, or duck.

Cortez already beat Diz acapella. What does Cor have to prove here? He could dust Diz off MUCH worse over a beat, and get this dude all the way outta here.

Weirdo rappers need to fall back if they can't find a rhythm over a beat. Have fun with your multi-syllabic rhyming words, but don't get too out of pocket if you can't really rap.

damn KOTD didnt even get their main event on an already lackluster card. only thing saving them they still have a ton of subscribers but this aint a good look. They deserve heat anyway, URL just had a great event in sm8 and on paper vol 3 is dope. and url got killed for sm7 and basically for everything they ever do wrong. kotd gonna face some heat now but one thing, yeah now rbe i think card wise has passed them but looking at subscribers it isnt close between them.

Was the film this bad?
I'd say give it a shot and come to your own conclusion about it for real.
Even if you watch it for 5 to 10 minutes and can't watch anymore of it, just to see what you think.

I overall do think though, battle rap needs a movie like Juice to give it that original feel.

i dont think bodied was that bad. i think i was more suprised when the trailer first came out, but by the time i saw it, i was expecting a gt/kotd story. I dont disagree with like the idea yeah we should get a url/smack version but this is still way more like current battle rap than 8 mile. 8 mile may have been a better story like more realistic but i liked seeing certain battlers. they did at least mention that its cultural appropriation, they did call the white dude racist mad times, like even dumbfounded was like yeah its battle rap but youre still racist. not saying it was perfect at all. its just a cool movie that if youre a battle rap fan, youll prob get smthg out of watching it once, even though you maybe annoyed here and there. not great, not terrible.

Even tho Eminem was the focus, I remember battles being way more like that.
Point is tho, Battle Truth is biased to a degree too against I guess you could say towards the "KOTD" crowd as well so I wouldn't go off it on his review completely. To be honest, I'm surprised he even watched it knowing how he is.
