"Is it possible to be fixed? Do people kinda bring their people?"

She literally figured out battle rap and made the whole shyt look stupid within the first minute of this hahahahaha fukk

What exactly did she figure out? How did she make battle rap "look stupid"? It's a very odd perspective for a "battle rap fan" to have.

yea I don't really think she made it look stupid, i think she was just curious, but the crowd is too big now for bringing ya own people to rig the audience reaction that much

There also aren't any officially judged battles on Smack URL, so the youtube viewers can evaluate the battles for themselves.
I mean they had a mock battle on Empire, I didn't watch the mock battle, but I see this as nothing more than an opportunity for Smack to get free press. I doubt anyone who watches a mock battle on Empire will watch this interview and question the integrity of what Smack is doing lol.

Yeah true, you're right about that. I don't think it necessarily hurts Smack or his brand. It's just very similar to when pro wrestling was getting attention and the news people first thing go "well, it's fake right?" Not discrediting it entirely, but .... pretty much. Average person in their head is going "ok, so it's fixed, there's no judges, it's just whoever brings the most people". And the reason people fukk with sports and shyt like that is because it's "fair" Whether or not it ACTUALLY is, is another story. But you have to atleast provide that illusion of fairness lol. Battle rap fan cares about the legend of Loaded Lux and gay shyt like that. This interview reached a WHOLE LOT of average joes and it's funny that the legitimacy is immediately brought up. And it's Fox News. I mean, put 2 and 2 together.

Stop posting trash :camby:

Damn bruh.. I mean.. I understand there's a little bit of bitterness/annoyance with some of URL's habits.. but.. damn bruh. :mjcry:

The nikkas just landed an interview on national news AND after Empire (please no more Empire bars). That's a good look for battle rap, at least on the respect and recognition scale. :mjcry:

Not sure if I picture the average joes you mentioned thinking about battle rap in such stringent terms of "fairness." I get the WWE-type analogy, but it seems off in this situation, where the audience just watched a scripted battle on Empire and might be wondering "damn I wonder what battle rap is reall like?" No better source than the dudes who make a living off it, and, fake or not, they represent what it really is today.
