Why does Smack pay a 3 year old to run his audio and graphics.


One time audio was only on the left side, typical Stereo/Mono mistake.

Sometimes I think these guys copped the cheapest mics they can, run it through the sound system and then let the camera mic pick up the audio YOU end up hearin.

It ain't even hard to clean this up, a couple good decisions before the event could solve everything with a little post processing.

Sh*t I could clean up the existing audio even, but it doesn't seem like they try and/or care.

Meanwhile KOTD got the Red HD Digital Camera Red Digital Cinema Camera Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

With direct audio from the mic'd opponents actually being mastered before release. With real post processin, and they get less views and make less money :pacspit:

Like c'mon Smack, Mr. Classic but all ya videos look and sound like it's 1999.

your right its pretty much inexcusable, theyre the only league with this prob, even when Grindtime was alive the sound was always great, its a joke actually that Smack is this bad

I wouldn't say clearly (I actually have X winning 3-0) but if there's any round I wouldn't be mad about ppl saying Verb won it's the first. But X-Factor won...clearly....no debating

I dont know about no debating, Verb was fire too, I go with X but a case can easily be made for Verb

First of all, the audio is a big problem. I know nikkas will tell me to stop complaining but I don't care. The fact that I can't hear a lot of bars because of shytty audio is inexcusable. X-Factor got the battle but I was a little underwhelmed aside from X's 3rd... that round won him the battle

Earl came to visit Verb but it wasn't nearly as bad as the twitter guys made it seem. Still surprising to see though. Verb better go in vs Rex.. these up and down performances are getting annoying

I dont know that you can say this was a down performance though, he did his thing he just lost. It wasnt like his showing vs Clips

300 murders a year
Verb was spitting

X Factor barely even rhymed

He just won cause his angles and Verb choked. Verb was on his way to winning that third before the choke. And his second was too short.

yea to act like verb was mediocre is not right

verb came with it this battle.

his angles just didnt land well because in comparison to x factor scheme verb couldnt compete.

verb felt that pressure for the first time in his career. x factor made it very personal and the crowd was feeling what x was saying. that knocked verb off his game.

but honestly, without that choke verb was cooking in that 3rd. but because of the choke, it didnt land well. if he was in a type of zone and it was no fumbles then i think more people would give him the 2-1 decision.

but right now it seems 90% 2-1 for x factor.

I don't even count that "choke" against verb in the 3rd. I count that sorry ass "see" bullshyt though. He was doing cool up until that specific point. Ion't know what or who the fuk told him to rock with that shyt cuz it wasn't hitting at all. I say he lost (and I use to be a bigger verb fan than x), but whatever round he lost, it was close as fuk. Wasn't no bodybag or anything on anybody's behalf.

KOTD is african famine status right now. Can't eat good wit da shyt they serving.


Pretty much every battle from the Cannibus event (including the main event) was straight basura or just underwhelming so far. And their future cards don't look any better.

shyt, even the Poison Pen joint coming up with Math vs Marvwon, Suge vs Sevah looking better than them.

Man that nikka Verb was fooling in that 3rd until the choke. That was the best either was spitting in the entire battle so far. The blindfold was corny, he was better off just turning his back and spitting them bars.

X Factor was cool, he prolly edged this off the personals and the choke. He ain't win with bars
