UOTE="theflyesreaost: 13063682, member: 4148"]The URL looks at how you perform on their platform. His last performance on the URL was so forgettable. He's not even draw. Why even give him a slot for that? He's also lacking the "it" factor.

Big Kannon is nice though. He's better off on platforms like RBE.[/QUOTE]

His last battle was syahboy and he ran thru him as expected, that shyt wasn't even fair.

Big Kannon deserve that spot, he smoked Tez, smoked Big T, had a dope debatable with Ill Will, before that beat Bigg K ,would of had a debatable with Clips if not edge the battle 2-1 imo... every credible name in battle rap know he's a serious threat. He can't even get on a Born Legacy type.of card smh. That's just bullshyt to me.

:what:Why do you want him on the URL so bad? He gives better performances on other platforms. He has better opponents to choose from. There's more to battle rap than the URL.

The problem here is your not objective enough to break Big Kannon down. It's easy to see why he isn't on the url.

It's the same names tho.. Every big card.. The same names :mindblown:
Other than Clips vs Hollow, none of these battles will have replay value. I can see the fukkery now... dudes will force Roc V Surf to be a classic like Surf v Hitman. K Shine vs Verb will have zero replay value just like their last few big stage battles. DNA vs serius Jones :camby: :camby:

WTF Smack :snoop:
Jesus Christ dude, do you whine about everything? If you don't wanna watch the battles then :camby: but I've never seen anybody complain this much about something he doesn't even have to watch.

I did wonder whether the rookies/midtiers could carry a big card without it being themed under Rookies vs Vets. He'll just put a rookie or two on at least one battle I guess...

On a business front, I think Smack's bigger cards need the names to maximise sales of those $100 ticket prices (allegedly?) to people. Serius is a legend, people will come out to see him, for example

John John was nice in that KOTD battle from last weekend. shyt actually made me wanna watch his battle with Prep whenever Smack drop it. I've never been a fan of John John but you could tell he was going in.

And is Nellz gonna get mentioned in every battle from RvV? I feel like its already been like 3 out of the 4 that had fukkin Nu Nu Nellz lines in em

What you mean why?? Cause he deserve a spot on the main stage by now ....Red did Summer Madness, Tez did Nome, why would you NOT want to see one of most ducked battle rappers get that shine. So you wanna see the same names get pulled out of the URL hat for events??.

This is a business & I look at it as such. I understand why the URL wouldn't put him on SM/Nome while you seem oblivious. I gave you the answer, but you just can't accept it.

Big Kannon is dope. He has the capability to hang with anyone. The problem is he doesn't have any charisma & lacks the "it" factor. He doesn't have a great rap voice. There's nothing exciting or unique about him that generates views.

There's nyggas that I don't like, but I recognize they have "it," just as there's nyggas that I like, but recognize they don't have "it."

Between Gorilla Warfare & RBE, he's in a better position than a lot of nyggas that are dope, but lack in certain areas.

There's nothing to argue about here. That's simply what it is.

What are some battles where you went against the consensus?

I think a lot of us have Chilla beating DNA despite the fact that the consensus seems to be DNA won.

I recently watched Verb vs X Factor & I still have Verb winning, despite the fact Verb himself said X beat him on Battle rap arena back in the day.

You have verb beating X? What rounds? 2nd and 3rd were kinda ugly.
