I'm not really trying to shyt on these guys, as you gotta do what you have to do, but I've said when it comes to battle rap, a lot of bloggers come off as if they are trying to make some income. The few guys that are articulate, they tend to excel, and don't really need to do this.

Look at someone like CAPS. His main channel basically maxed out at 35k. What's does he do? He creates two more channels. One is like 33k and the other is like 15k. It's most likely the same subscribers. He doesn't have the capability to grow because he's still doing those same outdated phone interviews with poor audio. Therefore, he would scatter his content across three different angryfan channels.

3 Letterman uses the same exact formula, just a little more structured and well put together. He started blogging to help grow his channel, but when you have shyt like Champion, Vada's show, Math Hoffa's show, etc it can be hard to really check for guys that haven't really advanced. It just feels like he's hoping to be picked up by somebody, but I doubt it ever happens. Hell, the best part about PSA is Shawn, and he's barely on. Why? Because he doesn't need to do it.
PSA best shot at getting on is through Joe Budden. He listens to them pretty regularly so if Joe ever creates a big enough platform, maybe he’ll throw Dre and them a bone. For now, maybe he should make a Patreon. He gets enough big guests on that someone will be willing to pay $5 a month for his content. Black Compass Youtube only has a few thousand subscribers but their Patreon has about 300 subscribers which is an extremely good considering how small
their podcast is to others, and they don’t have nearly the names Dre has on his platform (interview wise).

Im aware Joe listens to PSA, but I highly doubt he’ll put PSA on.

We’ve been listening to 3 letterman for years, so we are acclimated to him. Objectively, the guy is terrible. However, this isn’t the reason why I don’t think Joe would put PSA on.

What are y'all thoughts when Mickey Factz is on there?
Mickey Factz is simply the best figurehead in Battlerap and imo the best guest on CHAMPION

He’s clearly one of the most intelligent in BR.
One of the most articulate in BR.
The one that was ACTUALLY in the field for a lotta important moments in Battlerap history.
The one that got one of the Illest eyes for Battlerap talent.
The one that did a LOTTA important shyt in Battlerap behind the scenes that nikkas never heard about cause he’s not a brag type nikka
Mannn, if nikkas only knew smh :wow:
