Smack is just acknowledging affirmative action by giving that german Norbes a job...who cares about PGs..

The PG's breathed life into battle rap in a major way. The magic of the PG's is gone, because the exclusivity is pretty much gone. But c'mon. The whole "road to top tier" story has become a huge part of the Smack URL experience. No matter how many of these guys fell off, or fell by the wayside, it's still valid.

You actually wanted to hear more from Diz? :scust:. 2 minutes round is enough, and knowing Diz he'll go over the time limit anyway

That's perfect for those 2.

If it was any battle that you could predict to be horrible

It would be this one.
I just feel like 2 minute rounds come off as incomplete. 3 minutes is ideal imo and especially if it's a main event.

Surf, Hitman, Cal, Ill, Big T never called themselves PGs...no self-respecting rapper above the age of 18 should call themselves a rookie if they're being paid as a professional battler...just my opinion

I doubt pg's get paid.

What does your opinion mean to the rest of the fans though? If you had your way, we would have very little to watch. Those people you named sit around picking and choosing their battles, some of them slacking off, demanding outrageous paydays and only bringing one or two good rounds, etc.
There has to be a way to farm new talent, especially with battle rap growing as fast as it did because of the exposure that the people you named were getting. Just say "I don't fukk with Norbes" and be done with it. Don't let your dislike for dude make you say irrational shyt.

I don't like that Emerson Kennedy brought up the car crash though. Fukk that shyt, really no need to go there in a PG battle.

Edit

Damn, neither guy (Emerson or Cali) is ready for the main stage, but I fux with both more than Gjonaj
:lolbron:
Gjonaj pen might be a tiny bit better, but I can't get into how he presents his material.
I'd like to see one of them take Gjonaj on in a small room/small venue.

Besides Todd who really came through the pgs and is a toptier atm? No nock on pg system. Cause it gave us a lot of good/classic battles but I really cant think of a lot of battle rappers that are where they are through the pgs.
