Exactly what did KOTD do to Thesaurus?

I didnt really follow that

Not 100% sure but I think they aren't giving him anybody he wants and instead offered him somebody really low on the food chain

Which is supposedly KOTD slapping him on the wrist for exposing Charron and the energy company stuff

Again, that's what I think happened but I dont know all the details

:scust:

Lol at the idea of kotd and url merging. That would be awful. 2 different leagues that provide a completely different product.
Even the reasoning behind people wanting them to merge doesn't make sense. If y'all want URL to merge with KOTD for their production value, then they should just hire the people doing the production or hire someone else of the same quality, it's not a reason to merge lol.

#3 on my list of things that might make me quit battlerap for a while :russ: The thought of a card full of ebony/ivory battles scares me to death :picard:

:whoa: Hold on guys. I know...before you go crazy, lets look at this way. Because I know what that post meant. Its more than just battles that go into something like that. @theflyest you always mention things about business in battle rap so I think its more than just someone from KOTD battling someone from SMACK URL under one league.

I think it was EA saying it and I got what he meant. Its like you take certain departments, keep some and eliminate others to make a cohesive company (I've been thru one and its happened to my department). Just an idea and I don't think it would go perfect. But SMACK URL, the foundation of course, runs the talent recruiting and the cards for the most part. Take how KOTD runs merch and how they do advertising with the Blackout Events or even how they did some of the presentation of the Bunker, would dope. Plus, you could get a combo of Twizz and Avocado working together on either the camera work and editing if they wanted to on both the east and west,

Case in point: URL using Avocado for Traffic :manny:

A merge benefits KOTD way more than URL anyway.

Plus this is a business and competition. To be honest battle rap is better off with the two of them separate. Theyre in two different lanes anyway

Caustic vs Arcane could have been on another card. KOTD apparently had an obligation to Aktive and Thesaurus through Diz and said, "Thanks for the 20 million views, fukk your homies!" That's wild shady.

URL West is going to push KOTD out of LA especially if Smack is really connected in the streets. They already showed they will fukk up a KOTD event with no shyts given.

I am championing URL West to become something more. When the first Traffic card came up, I thought finally, they're going to expand permanently elsewhere and was amped for it. And I loved that Detroit event, too.

Yeah, see KOTD doing Aktive and Thesaurus wasn't right. Aktive been trying for while and he should have at least consideration. But Thesaurus, no matter how you feel about his style or what he does, they should have extended some more respect to him. Especially since they knew he had a name before them and they pretty much got shyt done together. But since KOTD babied Charron that much, they decided to screw over a vet on the Fresh Coast. SMDH. C'mon KOTD.
