Just how big is this battle? Is it the biggest battle that can be made in London?
Yeah prolly one of the biggest battles the UK could have right now Soul was the champ for a couple years of what used to be their top league before it folded (Don't Flop) and is dumb nice and Gemini been on a roll pretty much the last couple years and would have prolly went for the Don't Flop title. Perfect addition to this card for London. Any UK home card and this would be the headliner.

Considering them to be names in London, its big for their scene. SMACK URL playing to what the crowd wants over there is a good look. Not mad at that.
By no means do I know everything about Gemini and Soul. What I do know is that Gemini been around for a minute and Soul has been consistent within the circles of Don't Flop and KOTD.
By standards of SMACK URL tho when it comes to fans, I don't see the usual/casual league fan fukking with this battle. Especially muthafukkas who complain about their accents.

Ness pan fried this guy :russ:



Ness & Bill Collector should be a team. Not so much for two on twos, but Ness should be sparring with Bill to spice up his lyrical content a little, because Bill is so spacey. Bill has an overflow of creative material, he just has a hard time being taken seriously.

I felt like Ness had a few lines here that were a little bit more clever than I expected from him.

I will say this...one of the last battles I saw Soul in was against Caustic way after he punched him over exposing that Jefferson dude in a 3rd round. And that battle was awful. But the thing is...Soul was acting awkward and scared. SO hopefully none of that bullshyt happens.

he was way off in that battle he was much much better vs Shox and in pretty much every other battle.

Yep. I think so as well. But I know the UK been had a more street demographic that likes URL more than Don't Flop out there.

Mostly but being URL I bet more "street" and causal fans show up just like when Arsenal went over to battle on Don't Flop. It's also gonna be on PPV and YouTube of course so the live crowd isn't the end all.

Yep and also, lets not forget that Norbes was trying to make some things happen out there before. So some of the fanbase and maybe a few of the battlers that have connected SMACK URL in the past will be there.

he was way off in that battle he was much much better vs Shox and in pretty much every other battle.

Yeah I give Soul that. I have seen glimpses or clips of him in other battles where he has done better.

URL is more popular here than Don’t Flop. The casual battle rap fan knows who Loaded Lux, Hollow and Arsonal are and can’t name one person from Don’t Flop’s roster.

I’m sure the Geechi/Nitty battle isn’t actually in the building. If I heard correctly in the trailer, they’re going to be live-streamed from elsewhere doing the battle in a Banned type setting. Which makes sense because there’s no way Geechi’s getting into the country :russ:

I’m sure this battle was made to soften the blow for when they announce that TODD “couldn’t make it”
