Essential The Official Battle Rap Random Thoughts Thread (URL, KOTD, UW etc...)

[stepbackj34spud]

Been off the zone for about a week.. Just spend like 45+ reading what I missed.

We must really be hurting for new material, because 75% of the last 2 weeks posts have been about Lux and Mook. Ya'll have to eventually get burned out off that shyt.

Wondering if the Danja/Magic fallout is due to Magics rather lackluster enthusiasm combined with Danja's obvious focus on selling his bars and projecting to the room.

And yet nikkas won't stop talking about them.. The discussion is wild corny too.

Let's talk about URL's approach on a potential rematch card

When I heard Beasley speak on a rematch card, he kind of went into a direction I would expect the URL to go to. He only mentioned potential rematches to battles that actually happened on the URL. You know how the URL is. If it didn't happen on the URL, it doesn't count. It's as if it never happened at all.

I was thinking they should have a mix. There should be rematches of battles that happened on other platforms that should of happened on the URL.

MY URL Rematch Card

I'm not real big on rematches, so I'm struggling to come up with a card. I just hope when people post there's, it's rematches that make sense as opposed to wanting rematches because their guy lost.

Hollow Da Don Vs Arsonal Da Rebel It just makes sense. It would have made sense last year when Ars had a little run going. Ars is cold right now, but it really only takes a couple of battles for him to heat up with the type of following he has.
Tay Roc vs Shotgun Suge Battle of the fukking night.

Bigg K Vs ??? (Bmagic?, Suge?, Verb?) Very Unrealistic that Bigg K would ever appear on the URL again. Bigg K had several battles that on paper should have been dope, but where forgettable. Shotgun Suge, B Magic, Aye Verb, etc

They called that cac Caustic Dellevedova...lol

LOL.
I can't front tho. Caustic did beat alot of muthafukkas. Only person from URL I'll have him losing to is Bigg K.
LMAO at Surf, swear that dude is the best salesman in battle rap. And I think everyone in that circle talking is better than him.
But at the very least, he makes better music.

I hear you, it does get stale after a while.

I'll try to fall back with the arguing, I just wish yall would miss me with this "Mook aint ducking" talk.

Not taking battles = ducking.

Y'all can try to spin the sh1t however you want but at the end of the day being "selective" is code for "I don't want to battle" which is... DUCKING.

And before TBZ starts defending Mook's nonsense as strategic/ financially motivated etc. Let me just reiterate...

Pricing yourself out = knowing you won't get booked = not battling = DUCKING

Talk that SHYT nikka!!!!

And to add to your argument. Hollow told nikkas he'd take a paycut to battle Bigg K for the sportsmanship and the culture, like a champ

Instead nikkas out here defending that bytchass nikka Mook while he's clearly duckin FOH

U in the league but ur jersey just don't sell

I wouldn't mind seeing Math redeem himself vs Cal, I always thought he shoulda won that

 

[MJ Truth]

Disagree.

Getting an offer to battle Arsonal for $70k, turning it down and asking for $100k is low key ducking

Deep down inside Mook knows any of these new dudes could smoke him in the ring and destroy his "brand". So he's holding out for uber paydays rather than risk taking that inevitable L.

LOL, nobody who willingly battled Lux after Hollow is going to be ducking Arsonal. shyt doesn't even make any logical sense. Mook would wash Arsonal out of the building anyway.

The thing is, most of y'all (reasonably) treat this shyt as a sport. A lot of battlers do too. Mook (and Lux) treat the shyt like a business. Judging by a lot of your posts, you're just thinking from the point of view of a fan who wants to be entertained (which we all basically are), but Mook is looking at this from a financial/business/career angle, so him turning down $70,000 because he thinks he can get $100,000 is more than reasonable.

 

[MJ Truth]

Until Mook can show us he has 70k + laying around in an account or shoebox somewhere he's ducking. Thats a huge number for 3 rounds of rapping. I can put on a promote a whole rap show of established artist for 70k and make money. Mook is pricing himself out to add to his legend and see if someone takes the bait like cassidy did.

Man...

 

[FreshAIG]

Lol so if you don't have the amount of money that you turn down for a battle you're ducking? How does that make sense?
