I could be reaching, but without Dread vs Danny I don't know if we ever hear of a guy like Geechi.
Dread saw what the West was missing years ago, he just wasn't equipped to be the guy to be at the forefront.

I didn’t realize that was Danny Myers Twitter when I typed that. Thought it was some random battler that typed that.

A lot of these guys are rappers first. Dread didn’t seem like a rapper, which is why he couldn’t be at the forefront. More like a street guy that happens to rap, hence the reason we haven’t seen him. Probably more worried about real life stuff.

:stopitslime: Jimz hooked off on Goodz pretty well a FEW times. I don't think Goodz himself got anymore hits after the initial snuff.

Jimz is good in my book.
It’s more about people feeling comfortable enough to swing on you. Jimz used to talk like he was the biggest gangster in NY in them old blogs.

Caps is right, battle rap needs a union or something or at least some kinda of committee or system where when things like this happen there's a penalty. It shouldn't just be RBE banning Goodz. URL and KOTD shouldn't book him either or what is the point?

I feel like a swing should be an automatic year suspension from the main leagues. (KOTD, URL, Don't Flop, UDubb, RBE, Bullpen, and a few others). If they lose a venue over your fight, a 2 year suspension and you should have to be voted back in to be allowed to battle on a big league again.

A choke should be a deduction in pay

Back to back chokes should be a 2 month suspension

Negus get snuffed everyday B. Long as you don't drop and get your shyt off, you're good.
Math lost most of his aura once Diz swung on him. I agree that getting swung on doesn't mean you're soft, but the perception of you changes. Especially if you got swung on and then nothing really happens.

Maybe it's unfair, but when you portray an image of this wild tough nikka and someone snuffs you, didn't knock you out but they're tweeting and posting blogs an hour later, and they live in your city, it looks kinda wild. That's why playing the gangster rap role is always shaky because it's easy to lose and hard to gain.

Not sure if that will help or hurt. I think in some instances it will but in other instances people might lose the fight, it boils over into the battle too.

I still think there needs to be structure and penalities when you swing on someone. Bans, fines all that. It can’t be the Wild Wild West

Nah breh. Jimz is out here getting punched because people feel comfortable enough punching him, on cam at that. That's an issue that can't be ignored.
Exactly. Nobody is ever gonna punch Swave, or Head Ice. Ever since the video of Jimz getting snuffed the first time and doing nothing surfaced, he's been looked at as food ever since. That's how it works when you play the tough guy role.

I see what you're and Caps is saying breh, but at the end of the day these are all independent businesses/leagues. It wouldn't be good for them all to be under the same governing body. That type of shyt is a slippery slope. We compare battle rap to sports all of the time -- if you get thrown out of the NBA and you're not under contract, it's not going to stop you from playing in Europe. If you're banned from the Nevada State Commission in boxing, it's not going to stop New York State from allowing you to fight there. Now they can CHOOSE not to, just like these other leagues an CHOOSE to not book Goodz, but I don't think it should be anything mandatory. If you're willing to risk having Goodz come in and fukk up your event, then hire him. :yeshrug: Just don't be mad when he brings that fukkery to your stage.
