Lyt or Twork......I don't know if Lux even knows that JC battled Hollow in all seriousness. It wasn't heavily talked about, post battle at all. No "Jc went crazy", no "Hollow was in his bag".
It was another battle that happened, the App kills match ups like that, because nobody wanna get it. It's either YouTube or nothin'.
He liked Smacks post about the battle on instagram. He probably ain't see it though.

Yep
It's crazy how in 2025 everyone else is making huge bags from YouTube and twitch but URL pretty much let battle rap die by leaving/avoiding those platforms, no one's stock has gone up, and they too stubborn to go back
There isn't a single matchup that could compel me to buy that bullshyt app again

oh are folks making bread on youtube like from battlerap? I guess they're less likely to get demonetized for that content than URL? I don't know why URL hasn't tried Twitch though
There are no huge bags from youtube for promoters. Where are you getting this from?

QOTR - Basically gone
RBE - Gone
URL gotta do what they gotta do to stay profitable. They decided the App was the way to do it. Can't really knock them since everyone else who used the Youtube model is basically out of the paint.
shyt sucks but it is what it is. Things are open for someone else to step in and make a mark. Maybe it will be Chilla or Hitman or Remy, etc.
Nah they take shortcuts by using existing talent that everyone else uses. They don’t want to build from the ground up.
