I was somewhat amused but there's a clear double standard at play, and I'm guilty of it as well.

Let Beasley do something petty.... yeah he's underhanded but most of the time he's somewhat clever with it. It's almost a shtick.

Now if Norbes does something this petty, we want to take his head off.

It has everything to do with the fact that I can relate to Beasley better than I can relate to Norbes. Norbes has done a lot, but listening to him defend his viewpoints has always been such an unenjoyable experience. That's another post though.

In a way, the trailer highlights why this "Loso shouldn't do a PG" argument is a waste of time. URL got their way in every other instance. They have no reason to play softball with Loso, regardless of his previous "accomplishments".
There's nothing really wrong with double standards though. The fact of the matter is Beasley is simply more likeable than Norbes (or, rather, Norbes is so much more UNlikable than everyone else in the game) so his fukkery can be entertained.

Beasley is petty but entertaining and I feel he's only petty after someone crosses him or URL in general.

And Norbes....well he's the n!kka that work for the n!kka that work the n!kka that go get the dutches for Smack

The person that is better at articulating their rationale gets less flack usually, that's in life in general

So then maybe Norbes isn't as big of a problem as some fans make him out to be. I just think it's wild to see people try to rationalize what seems to be such a simple issue in other ways. To many he comes across as an unlikable person, so the criticism of him is harsher than it is of other people. But to treat him as if he's some type of enemy of battle rap culture is absurd.

URL doesn't need Bigg K at all. Not sure how he benefits from such a move. Besides, which part of Beasley's musings was a lie?

The gist of Beasley musings is this.....Bigg K ain't did shyt since he left us, which is bullshyt cause K been one of the most consistent battlers out for quite some time. "sometimes on our path to glory....we get led astray on a path that leads us to nowhere".... that's a blatant slap in the face to Bigg K work ethic so far. As a business how do you bring someone back to your company, and talk shyt about em' the very next sentence on a video trailer??. On their promo return to YOUR establishment at that.

This just proves Rome doesn’t have a life 2 minutes in and the other 57 minutes can confirm that without being watched so that’s the lesson Imma take

Rome might wanna chill on continuing to expose people. He caught a body with Vada but bruh, if he ends trying to make this a habit to gain something, he'll embarrass himself and possibly Black Compass.

That's a fair comment and I totally understand where you're coming from. My interpretation was more 'You used to put numbers in the NBA, you did your thing in Europe but welcome back to the NBA' with a little :lolbron: on the side. It's a bit braggadocious but that's Beasely all over, more hilarious than disrespectful imo
