I remember when ARP came in the game. He was very "pro battle rapper." "Yeah battle rappers should battle where they want to."
I guarantee he felt salty every time "his guys" battled outside RBE. Let's take J Murda. Remember how he was giving him all these looks, and then this dude does a PG? You stopped seeing him on a few RBE cards for awhile.
How about embracing Craig Lamar, giving him looks, and then he goes to the URL and does a PG?
Oops has been lowkey battling on Street Status & KOTD recently. Why isn't he battling on RBE?
I'm gonna be watching Jimz. If he's not on the next couple of cards, I'm gonna start thinking ARP felt some type of way with him battling on the URL.
For RBE to be able to elevate, they need to create their own talent. I do respect they were able to put their stamp on guys like Jimz, Showoff, Oops, & Jmurda. They were never really URL guys. It's more than UDubb ever did. Only guy Udubb ever pushed was Rad B.
For me, that's the next step for RBE. However, are they trying to be a league with their own talent? Or are they just cool with throwing events reaching out to guys and just making battles?
