Quality control. Yung Ill was clearly out of it and put on a bad performance and Cortez under performed. I respect them for not releasing battles that are subpar. That was one of Grind Time's problems towards the end.

Maybe they need to be put under pressure. Competition makes everyone step it up. In the age of Youtube and torrents, either they have an ulterior motive, or they're plain super lazy. There is no realistic way to sell them, not worth the cost of pressing them up.
Conceited
ahhh my fukking fault.
Yeah, I forgot they claim they have a project they are saving it for. We'll see. It's been 8 months.

Wow really? That's a shame...Young Ill is one of my favs...As for the bolded I can understand...I wish KOTD did the same with Canibus vs Dizaster lol. Goddamn, that's probably the biggest L I have ever seen in any battle. I would hate to see Young Ill in the same position as Canibus lol.
Aint nobody talking about another league having a battle as the reason URL is in trouble.
The reason that we are saying this is because, Smack doesnt release battles that the people want to see until months later. If UW can continue to release great battle matchups, they can possibly snatch the throne, because Smack is leaving the door cracked for someone else to sneak through.
UW already has better presentation, quality, audio, and releases their battles in a timely fashion. Let UW start putting together top tier battles and it's a wrap for Smack/URL.
Dont forget....WE built Smack. Not P Diddy, Q-Tip, Busta Rhymes or any other celebrity dikk riding now that it's becoming bigger and bigger. WE'VE been supporting battle rap non-stop when the mainstream said it was dead after Fight Klub went off MTV2.
We aint asking for shyt, but to see the footage that's already done so we can continue to support the culture and get them views up on youtube. We still aint even seen all of the battles from NOME yet breh.
Don't forget WE had Smack/URL trending on twitter back when Smack was just asking for us to follow him before he would release a video. Now this nikka getting Hollyhood on us taking pics and posing with celebs, while the people responsible for URL being what it is, is left waiting for the already edited/completed footage to drop?
UW wasnt even out last year for real like it is now. Arsonal stepped his game up dramatically and is doing big things.
Battle rap "face offs" = innovative =
= UW can be a threat.Smack is taking advatnage of the fact hes cleary the best option in town, its like overcharging at the airport but honestly between the shiity audio which could literally be fixed at extrmely low cost and the real nikka time releasing of the battles its like cmon breh you cant be a little more professional?
Hes lucky GT was run by morons who shot themselves in the foot. Also hes lucky cause even at its peak GT had waay too many corny rappers, same with KOTD.
Now Im not saying UW is taking over but the one reason they could be a real alternate option to Smack is they dont have the corniess of GT or KOTD (Arsonal is prob the corniest one in the whole league and even hes been significantly less corny starting with his battle with Calicoe), thier production is way better than Smack and so is their releasing of the battles at least so far. And theyve put together a couple of very good cards so far.

Its just his 2nd event tho. UW is gonna have to stick around a lil bit first before I even consider a "takeover" lol No hate its just how I look at it.
