If not on Dirtbag Dan's shyt, I'm guessing....it might be P&R. They do good shyt every once in a while. They put on QP vs. Real Deal which was fiyah. And this shouldn't surprise because Geechi already battled Madflex on a league outside of KOTD anyway. Guess its to grab the check. In any case, Geech is still consistent and still doesn't back down from a battle. I personally think he matches up better with another hood cat but hell, it is what it is. He seems to be able move as a free agent.

Few things. (1) I feel like all Black Ice has to do is let other leagues know if they want to book their talent other places, to do business with them first since they are representing their roster. (2) Its not secret that Black Ice and Jon Dough own other businesses and do good for themselves but, yeah, those of us who don't know that or live in the area they are in even know about that; we just want to see them drop battles. (3) Dude laughing at Jimz getting sucker punched is a bad look.

Mickey being back with the url is so dope. The nygga flat out said the way the new system is going to be set up, a guy like joe wouldn't make the stage.

Joe is an ibattleleague level battler.

Yeah, Joe seems like he would work his way up on KOTD and then, if he does well enough, he'll battle some SMACK/URL talent. But it would be on that platform. Or maybe even get a shot on another leagues. I think his pen is good and he does well in the small rooms. Against Franchise, he came across awkward to me on stage. Same time, he hasn't come across completely wack to me in the PGs so, I dunno. He might have to do like Nunn Nunn and pick up some scrimmage games then work his way up some more.

Red had no debatables this year.. He won all his battles clearly. He beat Ave clearly even with Smack fukking with his time and Ave spitting stolen bars. He also bodied KShine.. that wasn't just a "win", that was a body bag. They were spitting two totally different levels of bars.

Some of you stan for URL so hard, you can't even give a nikka his proper due respect because he isn't battling on your favorite platform. Disgusting.

If a reputable league makes a "battler of the year" card next month and books Cortez vs O-Red as the main event, are y'all paying for PPV?

I would. If fans are going to argue it then why not make this something more substantial?

Trez dumb as hell for doing that PG vs Dre Dennis lolol. nikka had like 15k followers on twitters before he battled B Magic and was the face of a league that looked like they were about shoot up the ranks. nikka couldve went straight to SM or BL had he waited and stayed on Bullpen (he was the 2nd biggest name there). nikkas be so eager get on URL they fukking go through the PGs when they dont even need them. nikkas let these leagues determine their worth.
Nah, you can tell URL wants Trez to headline a Summer Madness or some shyt; they're giving him every opportunity, he isn't cashing in on them. Personally I just don't think he's as good as maybe people want to think he is. URL is doing/has done the same thing with Chess, even though I think the talent with him is clearly there but he's dropping the ball also.

You're literally making shyt up. Nobody said anything like that. It was mentioned that Red hasn't had clean performances and that another BOTY contender (Cortez) is at least having a comparable year, nobody discredited anything Red did.
