Not sure what yall see in battle truth

Dude has the least amount of knowledge on battlerap and sounds like a fukkin retard

And he just lost a debate to fukkin romedmv on angryfan :facepalm:

1. I think he's entertaining most of the time.
2. I often find his perspective more relatable, provided he's fully informed on his subject matter.

But when he doesn't know about something, he's just an awful blabbering mess. I totally see why people DON'T mess with him at all. Battle Truth's debates need a timer & a scoring system WAY MORE than battle rap does.

As for Rome, he does a pretty good job of backing away from a losing argument, where Battle Truth will just go on forever. Rome isn't entertaining, but he's reasonably intelligent, and committed to moving with the new information so it gives him a lane. He doesn't work off of his personal concept of what battle rap should be as much as the other bloggers.

Nah I can't give Rome the win on AFM, bruh; he comes off way too defensive. BT might be delusional but Rome still comes off like he may be agent to push the newer class. And him not knowing who AFM was and blogging on him thru hearsay is a facepalm moment.

Tdot.. till the death of me
He's funny. And I do agree with him on battles more than I thought I would.

1. I think he's entertaining most of the time.
2. I often find his perspective more relatable, provided he's fully informed on his subject matter.

But when he doesn't know about something, he's just an awful blabbering mess. I totally see why people DON'T mess with him at all. Battle Truth's debates need a timer & a scoring system WAY MORE than battle rap does.

To each is own. I dont find him entertaining at all.

Rome is a nerd with shaky opinions but like you said atleast he's intelligent and can back away from a losing argument. BT might have the least amount of battle rap knowledge out of all the bloggers yet he acts like his opinions hold weight. :stopitslime: his opinions also be shaky at times.

I don't fukk with either of them nikkas for different reasons but seeing people gravitate to BT baffles me..

I'm reaching, but imagine if B-Dot ends up being a guy who helps tie knowledge of Black culture back into the gang life? Back in the day a lot of the illest criminals in NYC were NGE affiliated and had knowledge of self. I'm with damn near anything that gets street nyggas to read more.

After seeing Kendrick's success, it's clear there's a lane in music for a guy like B-Dot. Speaking for myself, Kendrick being a pipsqueak doing funny voices kinda bothers me. Dude is immensely talented, but it takes away a little bit from his appeal. B-Dot is really believable, it's just that Furious Styles shyt I spoke on last year.

Random - B Dot curbed a battle with Aye Verb when Verb started his "retirement" run, and is now arguably more marketable than Captain Marketable himself. If B Dot ever gets that viral look that Lux got, he will do a much better job of capitalizing.

And oh yeah, people know and respect Cortez in real life. If you believe some of these fans, you'll think he's struggling, waiting for Smack to call him.

Hearing his side and the other side is making more sense. He spoke with a fan that started her own league that was coming out to URL events. But I have to agree with AFM, JJDD should've said something earlier.

Plus from what I understand B Dot has family in the industry and even has songs with Kendrick.

@FreshAIG what you think about this overall now? i feel like a little from column A and from column B is giving us the actual truth now. i'm still with the whole don't set up shop and takeover shyt. but the whole do an event in the area to show love and connect with folks around here, that's fine.
