funny how i am not too big of fan of how they handle their battle politics.
but shyt like this makes me respect them a lot. dope song.
EDIT: i need to find the song that 9th Wonder sampled for a track he made a while ago that Rain used for this beat. i don't think it was Skyzoo or Torae. shyt was a banger.

The thing with this whole ARP thing and Organik is guilty of this too it seems.

It seems like they flat out be giving these dudes money sometimes just off the strength of them having good business dealings with each other and think that buys them some type of loyalty. [Only saying this because they keep saying such and such looked out for them or did them a favor]

These dudes should've listened to Norbes a long time ago when he did that blog saying these nikkas need to get an actual job and stop trying to rely on battle rap money and then get upset when they don't always get the amount that they want.

Chilla and B-Magic made for a nice duo but 2 on 2's are more reliant on haymakers and moments..and their styles together just don't do that

My thing is...I get that some of these guys got wrapped up in the street life but...what in the world made them think that a few thousand here or there or better yet...a few hundred here and there is the way to go. When there is dry spots in the sport for them or the league...that should be a sign right there. Or maybe they feel like a job restricts their freedom to constantly get money and jerk smaller leagues whether its to no show or give shytty performances. But yeah, battle rap money has always fluctuated; its not even big enough now to just give all of these guys sustainable income all around.
