He was writing for Dr. Dre, he didn't need battle rap.

Guys like Rain are never gonna be big industry stars. He's gonna make music that will have a small core fan base and make most of his money writing for big artists. That's how guys like Rain eat.

Not saying you're wrong but he obviously wants to be known as a solo act. That's the end game he's pursuing. And battle rap/ Smack URL is helping him get on in a major way

Even with the fans not liking him initially, they know who he is. which is more than can be said for 98% of mixtape rappers out there

It's not that he's just vulgar, he's clever,witty, & vulgar. This type of combination right there is just ugly.

Just listening to this nygga in interviews & diss tracks, if he where to somehow make that translate to a stage (which we all know is an entirely different environment), he would have nyggas visibly upset. These nyggas for the most part become numb to the shyt said to them on stage (except Math).'

That actually makes for a good topic to go into. For a form of entertainment where nyggas generally become numb, what are some recent battles where nyggas where getting visibly upset by what was being said to them?

Oh my, what a nice coincidence that the league he's affiliated with has him involved in a feud where he releases a song the day before the event that's named after his album

Could be a watershed moment for battle rap if they're able to promote him to a higher level off this :ehh:

If he wasn't affiliated with battle rap, we wouldn't be talking about him or know who he is, bet that

There are thousands of Rain's out there on soundcloud or w/e that we'll never find out about

The battle rap connection is an extremely good look for rain. It's just a gift and a curse because it definitely it comes with stigma attached and fans make judgments. though it seems like he's finally shaking that and standing out on his own
I'm not sure that is accurate. Battle fans rarely support batters on the music side so how can you expect fans to support a rapper that don't battle? The reason I believe that being affiliated with battle rap is not that helpful, is because of the hate. Imo rain album is fire. But the majority of battle fans haven't even listen to it, and many battle fans are saying it is trash just to say it which cause less people to check it out.

Are there some pros? Sure but who knows what management or looks he would get without URL.
