215 Uptown!
Im far from a JJDD fan but yall bugging saying he got no bars.

He was great vs Hitman. He killed prep. Him vs Math is a underrated battle. He had a couple dope lines n the 2v2 he was just in. Magic vs JJDD will always be a great battle.


You can't be wack and be in the position JJDD is in. I know it's the cool thing to hate on him but u not just gonna lie on that man.

This Nikka Verb is wild

Hitman did great in the interview

Another thing, these guys really underestimate how much Smack and them make. Not to shyt on them, but I know the cost of renting out venues. Webster Hall is like 15-20 K. Cool. They selling 100 for GA, probably around 1,000 tickets. That's 100 K. VIP is usually like 250, they sell another 150 that's another 37.5 K, plus another 100 for stage passes, which is abut 300 a piece, which is 30K. So they're bringing in 167,000 dollars. I'm not even counting if they have a part of the bar. Security plus venue is about 25 K. That leaves 142.5 K.

Let's say you do a 6 battle card

Maineventers = 40 K
Semi Main = 15 K
Undercard = 12 K
Undercard = 8 K
Undercard = 6 K
Undercard = 6 K

That leaves 57.5 thousand to split between mostly Cheeko, Smack and Beas. They all bringing home 15 K or so a piece, if they split it evenly, with a remaining 12 K, which goes to I guess the Norbes, other people who helped, and other expenses that arise. Now I'm not saying their getting rich off these events, but they're clearly bringing in profits. Smack is a hustler from Queens, nikkas honestly think he'd still be running 5-6 events a year if he wasn't making profits? I'm not saying he's balling from battle rap, and I'm not saying he's never took losses, but to act like these guys are struggling to put events together is hogwash.

They don't do venues or make money like Smack. The millionaire analogy by Hitman was applicable.

I've been saying this from day one. Plus with Youtube he has sponsors like the cigarillo company and the Youtube views. They eating good. They cry poor a lot but anyone with a business mind sees what's going on.

You better enjoy the last Hitman, Surf, Lux, Mook and Hollow battles you see on URL. I doubt they'll ever book them again unless its a 2 vs 2 or PPV.

A lot of these rookies are battling for FREE! And still packing venues.

Nick Cannon has been to Hitman's crib. You really think Holla can't make one phone call and get a Wild'N Out event booked with all legit battles, headlined by him and Suge?

Of course battle-wise it would be a Total Slaughter/Teddy Grizzly situation where the platform would almost make the battles not count, but my point is Hitman CAN make this battle happen. He just knows it will be better on URL, but URL ain't fukking with him like that. Tough place to be in.

Unbias had the best idea which is take something like 20 and PPV which is how Lux battles over there, Hitman was game for it. They just need URL to come around on booking him.
