Essential The Official Battle Rap Random Thoughts Thread (URL, KOTD, UW etc...)

[King Harlem]

I'm anticipating this more without knowing who's going to battle.
I like some of those names, but I kinda like the surprise element. But nothing stays a secret in battle rap anymore.

Brilliant move by URL. With PPV and what I heard about the strike card (being at a large venue, but largely empty), it sounds like it's been hard to sell tickets to events recently.
This should allow them to sell a lot of tickets and get them youtube views back up.
I kinda miss the pre-PPV era.

Although I do think this is dope, I doubt they've really been struggling to fill venues. The Strike 2.5 was an event that hardly had a real main event headlining at least to me. They were finally returning to NYC but it really wasn't an event catering to what NYC expects imo. Event hardly had any buzz or steam leading to it after having the debacle that was Summer Madness 7. The venue turned out larger than the card warranted. It looked like they've packed the venues pretty well throughout last year aside from the weird small room they used for Initiation at the last minute. They're likely to use that venue again imo and itll be packed for a Summer Madness or something. That venue was way too big for that card. Seemed like it was damn near Webster Hall capacity.

No surprise, but I guess Yung ill officially backed out of the battle. ARP is probably never getting that deposit back

Amazura (The Strike venue) holds about 3k. Not sure why URL stopped themselves from filling up the venue, but they really should hold SM there unless there’s still complications with hip hop events and NYC’s willingness to host them

They definitely should. Avocado and Jayblac gave it rave reviews.
They had no business using a venue of that size for that card lol. Only big cards can fill that out.

Even if ARP successfully sues Verb it's gonna be a Pyrrhic victory for him.

Cassidy will make you think he'll body Hollow, Lux and Mook on a 3 on 1 battle.

YK killed this boy so bad I got embarrassed for him.
