Exposure (appearance fees, t-shirt merchandising, etc)... I would say that's 1 hell of a parlay from SM2, while Mook is on a Harlem Street corner tryin to convince bums he broke Solomon 'down to the last molecule' with a paper machet brimmed new era on :snoop:

People that listen to Howard Stern would never go to a Smack battle or listen to his music
Best route to get young fans nowadays is the internet
And his presence on the web is weak
I respect his grind n his team for getting him those interviews
But that shyt is misdirected

am i suppose to know? i aint up on the battle tip breh :beli:

He didn't start in battle raps. You never watched Smack DVDs? They was the most popular DVDs out in the early-mid 2000s. Pretty much every major rap artist has been on them DVDs. He was the camera man. Going through different Hoods, interviewing mainstream to underground artists, getting their names out there. A lot of rappers got famous off them Smack DVDs.

Co sign. And I still think Serius Jones style of battling still holds up for him because he got the delivery and charisma to punctuate his humor; not everybody can go up there and spit what he spit and win the crowd over like he did.

He would do fine. Serius was rusty as hell. Maybe a slight change & to cut out some of the corniness & he would be cool.

i just listened to the big t interview on battle rap arena, and i gotta say that the hate for philly rappers from the past is ridiculous, according to big t, gun bars from philly artists won't work in the url really? :what:

99% of url battles involve gun bars, he was better off saying their particular delivery with their raps won't work in the url ( we all know majority of them outside of reign-man, slaughter rico and freeway rap the same)

i think maybe reign-man can stand a chance against some of the competition in the url, reed and meek not so much.....they have that traditional philly style and it'll get old halfway through the 2nd round, i already expect somebody to mock their style in any given round....that's the most obvious angle, but dope if done right.....
