So now it's completely mandatory to watch a 9 hour event?

No VOD?

Every time they do something that works for the fans they "upgrade" to some bullshyt

The drake bars are gonna be unbearable

You know DNA is gonna be on the cards so he's gonna have Drake bars about everything from male ducks to X-Drake from one Piece

In collaboration with a New York-based battle rap league called the Ultimate Rap League, Drake is going to stream rap battles on Caffeine, a big move for the platform. Keighran said that Drake wants to focus on bringing battle rap to a wider audience. Currently, battle rap is mostly a pay-per-view experience, but on Caffeine it will be livestreamed for free.

Drake will stream rap battles exclusively on Caffeine, a platform run by ex-Apple employees - CNN

Battle rap is becoming mainstream as fukk

Caffeine doesn't tell me nothing( honestly didn't even know they existed) but drake is huge

So I expect more new fans

I guess this answers it

Money must be real good for URL to step away from PPV

"Currently battle rap is mostly a pay per view experience"

So caffeine is gonna provide it for free?..........like......idk......YOUTUBE was

Im tired of being reminded how dumb people in battle rap are and how dumb they think fans are

LMAO Chill son

Nah man these dudes are a cotdamn joke, i can already picture what that meeting looked like.... smack and beasley sittin in a corner quiet as fukk while real businessmen toss around words they don't understand and they just nod in agreement

 

[theflyest]

Atleast Drake helps from a far, and let’s league owners do their thing whether it’s Organik or Smack.

You don’t see him out here trying to throw wack ass events like snoop and slaughterhouse.

 

[EA]

I hope this means URL free up with dropping battles on the app now. Since VOD isn’t an option, a card should drop on the app within 7 days after the event.

This is a bad comparison because the YouTube drops were never live PPV like the Caffeine app is. YouTube drops were battles that either were live with no PPV or battles that were on PPV that you had to purchase and eventually dropped on YouTube. The Caffeine app is free PPV live. That is nothing like the YouTube drops.

So wait, does this mean Avocado is out of the picture tho when it comes to streaming?
Nah, he has to still at least be shooting the footage of the battles.

Yep. nikkas forget all the wild shyt you can catch on a PPV stream. They started chopping up the battles and getting rid of the extra footage. The YouTube releases never have any of that.
