This battle was suppose to happen at their last event & one of the guys didn't show, so they just did it there.

Regardless, I don't really like it. I don't like that extra shyt like 3 way battles, quiet room bullshyt, cages, & even 2 on 2's, males vs females, etc.

Get 2 people, get some nyggas around them, & let em rap.


Black Ice is what I would describe as hood cute. She doesn't really have standout looks or anything, but I like her.:yeshrug:
I think it would be cooler with a cage that people can grab onto or something. A lil bit like that Don't Flop when they be making a racket along with cheering lol. I doubt it will be a thing for them though.

Scanned through the PSA/War Report episodes

Surf was on PSA. It was basically just a longer version of the "in studio." One thing that stood out is he said he believes Verb is the one guy in battle rap that can beat anybody regardless of their style. Cortez came on PSA to rant.

Cortez was on the war report & was pretty much ranting about the same shyt he said on PSA. He basically feels overlooked & wants big battles. Verb was also on War Report backing up Cortez. One thing he said is he's tired of fans saying they want to see the old Verb. He says the problem with that is you have to change your entire approach on a stage and kind of dumb yourself down as opposed to a room. He said everyone does well in a room. Verb also said a lot of the problems Cortez was having was that he was wearing a chain & was too clean during his battles & that they fans like to root for the dirty nyggas/underdogs. Said Danjazone is on fire, because he's very receptive to criticism & that Danja studied Verb & Cortez during their time in Arizona for Duel in the desert.

Why does Verb always concern himself with other dudes appearances?

I don't see it as anything abnormal. Do you? Whether it comes from me growing up loving hip-hop, or it come from me being from Harlem, appearance has always been a part of my identity.
These dudes get paid to pick each other apart, and Verb calls himself "Captain Marketable", so it seems natural for him to talk about appearance.

It's like wrestling, Ric Flair would talk about appearance all the time, and it was entertaining because it was part of his character. Naturally Dusty Rhodes wouldn't talk about appearance, because he clearly didn't care.
