Californ-i-a by way of BK
That's not true bro, he's just showing the fan the flaws in his logic.


The one he's replying to is the stereotypical uneducated post SM2 "URL-ONLY" fan (not "BATTLERAP" fan like us)



Nah it is true tho, 37K on a no named league against a no name opponent is great. Especially for only 3 weeks.I get his point and yes URL helps a lot and Twork wouldn't be getting 37K against a no name opponent if he never had been on URL probably. But even that isn't for sure. Any non big league battle that does over 200 K either one of the battlers is huge or it went viral for another reason.

Well you say this but it still got talked about and it is a part of battle rap; I'm not trying to start an argument but its not like we don't keep up with the current events that happen in battle rap either that isn't based on just a street style. Even though they aren't street style and as you have said, this forum is geared more towards it, and you have more of a preference for that street style, I feel like its still connected battle rap. Especially since some of the street style battle rappers go over there to battle even though its not their base as a league.

You are like the minority as far as KOTD supporters on this forum, so this response is not too surprising.

But I also support RBE, Bullpen, Black Ice (whenever they do drop something), and even if I'm extra critical of SMACK URL, I do support them.

I think A ward showing the difference in numbers is overshadowing the point he was making.
What he's saying is, numbers don't equate TALENT.
He's saying Twork is fire wether he's having a 400K battle on URL or 40K on a no name league.
He even uses himself using the fans logic by saying he did 50K on a noname league (outside of KOTD) which in essence is the same thing as Twork doing 40K on a noname league, that's undeniable.

Not saying they're equally talent, but the point is the same. Views don't equate TALENT.
B Dot woulda had the exact same point with that fan.
Funny enough B Dot (who debated the same stigma cause he wasn't on URL) agreed and co-signed A Ward's point

Verb vs Hennyman on a noname leaugue 100K
Twork vs Radio B on a noname league 40K
Rex vs Billy on a noname league 100K

The same battlers do 1M on URL.
His point is, they are FIRE regardless.
They don't hit that M if they're not on URL, that's undeniable and the point A Ward was making.

DOT does 800K on URL, that's their fan base pushing his numbers.
Cause DOT does 80K on Syndicate which is a known league.
Therefor A Ward said, people can't downplay his talent cause he does 50K on a noname league like other popular battlers on the biggest league by using hat logic.

So no, he wasn't dissing Twork he was showing the reality of being on URL and OFF URL
B Dot, A Ward, Loso are all saying the same thing if you're following their Twitter debates with those fans that downplay their talent cause their not on URL

A Ward is so corny. All he does is troll url battlers all day on twitter. Dude is way to regular to even be talkin about anything.

I get that you don't like Mike P but I'm not gonna call this battle. I like the hype behind it though. They have been talking shyt back and forth. Got my attention for it even more.
I'm one of the biggest Mike P fans in this thread :gucci:

Ya'll have to stop this bullshyt with me, please.
Facts, but it's clear the invisible hand is not going to give Mike a big look :sas2:
Mike P was wiggin :scust:

I got one foot on the Rum Nitty bandwagon, son almost on Godtier with the punches. Con better see that man :ufdup:
Mike P is too good to get "bodied" straight up without antics. Suge had to use three moves on him.

KG on the baseline :wow:
Why not? Mike, Glu, and Bigg K all need to be on URL. They'd be wasted on KOTD or RBE. Everyone can't be a main event they are good mid tier guys.

Edit: Bigg K would obviously be main event or co-main eventing on URL.

Good job JC (and Will)...got this nikka thinking he did something.:beli: Until the next time he loses. Hell, between his hairline getting exposed and CAPS sonning the fukk out of him, he should catch a couple good Ls in 2018. Delusional ass Goonie nikkas:snoop:

EDIT: I don't do the Twitter shyt. Someone please save the file so we can shyt on him the next time he gets washed.

Twork vs Diz will end up the same way Roc vs Diz went. A 30

Twork in 2018 needs to battle Nitty/Ave/Roc/Clips

Roc in 2018 needs to battle Con/Holla/Twork/Gun titles vs whoever.

Twork low key is the only battler with a style that can overcome Clips "always makes it a debatable" style.

I swear Clips somehow always manages to eke out a debatable battle even though nikkas can never recite a hot bar from him after the battle. Something about this nikka just seems to sap the confidence out his opponents. But I feel Twork would bark on this nikka and dead all that.

Lux & Hollow killed him, nothing debatable about those Ls

Lux was debatable mostly because Clips made sure there was so much non battle related fukkery on stage.

Agreed on Hollow but you'll still find half of battle rap fans sayin it was debatable.

Low key, John John bodied him too but the argument there is that Clips doesn't consider that a real battle.

So, bout that whole "restore order" thing? I think if they want to restore order, they need to do away with the whole narrative issue. Wonder what that is?

It's a how Clips never "took the battle seriously"

It's daylyts entire career really (If he decides to rap it's wrap!)

Chess ain't lose a battle, he just ain't showed his potential yet (Heard this way too many times, nikka sucks until further notice)

Tsu surf didn't lose all of his battles, they're just debatable.

If order is to actually be restored, Battle rap needs to be about winning again. This current era is battle rap entertainment.

Narratives sell the fights, so that won't happen completely. I think in 2017 battle rap did a good job of giving the people who win all the time better opportunities. JC, YK, O-Red, Cortez, etc.

People were asking for JC v Lux, so battle rap is more about winning than it has been in the past few years.

The battlers who don't want to put any energy into keeping the fans engaged should just quit. Battle rap can't sustain itself on judged battles.
