why do people get mad at jay blac for being biased towards certain battlers

he's a guy with a day job who also has cameras, egg crate, and a few mics lmao he's not a journalist
It's only because Jay Blac is biased towards a rapper that they don't actually like. If the bias was for Hollow Da Don or Bigg K this wouldn't be an issue.

I don't know about everyone else but Hollow is one of my fav. but I know he isn't perfect and when he losses, I accept that. And Bigg K, I gave him more losses than other folks have. So what you sayin'?

It's not about wins or losses or any of that. I'm saying people have such a big issue with Jay Blac having a bias towards Surf because those same people dislike Surf anyway. If it had been another battler it would go unnoticed essentially. Blac and other bloggers have other biases that don't get spoken on.

I'm a huge fan of Surf's talent. I just wish he went as hard as his fans do. Dude has to humble himself a little, no matter what.

At this point he needs to be at his best. There are no excuses now. You battle rap, you work on your music, you do whatever you want to do media-wise, and that's it. Work hard, stay free, you may be a household name in a few years. Not saying it will happen, but he has a fighting chance.
He needs to move out of Newark. I hate to say it but if he stays there’s no way he doesn’t end up back in prison

Because Surf has been overhyped and the one person who could probably keep it a buck with him is Jay Blac. And it feels like he isn't from the way he presents it. Who knows...maybe behind the scenes he tells him to do certain things but it doesn't look like it.

i like surf but i've always said he was overhyped, doesnt win, reaches, and chokes. when he's reaching or choking, he has good projection, pretty nice with the pen, and puts on a good show. that's literally all i ask for from battle rappers. i leave the hand-wringing about believability, girlfriends exposing personal stuff on IG and PSA call-ins to you man, i dont care if someone defends him or not

jay blac isnt a journalist because he's a dude with mics and a camera. his whole show was born from him doing recaps of battles, now he's cleaned it up a little and he's clearly invested, a little funny sometimes, and knowledgeable. that's it. he doesn't have to abide by journalism ethics, if he says funny shyt and talks about battle rap, im straight, i watch his show while i shave in the morning

this man Blac put on a suit and tie and sat down for once and got you guys thinking he's Charles Blow fukk outta here

Check the forum because there are some battles that did drop.

The thing is Jay Blac does have influence in battle rap. That's part of the reason why this being discussed. I think in order to make more battle rap more fair, or better yet (Swave Sevah voice) Restore Order, we have to call out elephants in the room like this. Its about the overall game going in battle rap with bias. We all have it. From leagues to the battle rappers and etc,

My nikka however you wanna try to Juelz explain it, at the end of the day, Blac IS a journalist. He literally has a first take/ Undisputed style show. The nikka actually goes to events and has a panel show literally giving post and pre battle analysis :dead:

i dont know what else to say except that you have a lower bar of "journalism" than i do and you offering first take as an example proves that well. a guy giving his opinion while being recorded is not the same thing

making a blog is what journalism school graduates do before they get hired as journalists and have to follow codes of conduct and ethics

Naw we see it. Either you're a blogger, or you want to become one lol.
That angle is uninteresting to me, but you might be able to do 5k views off it if you do it right.
I told you before I did it in 2013, I deleted that shyt before anyone found it. Battle rap is full of weirdos who worship the strangest people. I'm just here to be a truth teller now...
