Nome Announcements are 1-2 so far, I actually like the Yunus vs Chess matchup. Not really interested too much in the other two battles.

Top and Hustle? Why?
Man the URL is out of touch.

They're not out of touch....the money ain't there and other platforms are booking the better battles on paper, that should ideally be on their league.
It's been that way since Hitman vs Eazy tbh. They lucky they was able to book Lux vs Nitty. Then again URL pulled Nitty's coat tail not to go to RBE.

Can't the Coli's 6 certs 6 figures 7ft gang swoop in and sponsor some URL battles?

Ofcourse itβs possible, itβs just not smart.
Battlerap culture has normalized not doing your job.
That is wild behavior when you think about it.
Not showing up is grounds to get fired and lawsuit in any other professional industry.
Battlerap just normalized it and was like:
βYou know what, those are just No Shows
β and moved on. Who does that
If youβre a sponsor, why would you put REAL money in a culture where such unprofessionalism is normalized and has become common work culture.
Itβs weird and the elephant in the room when it comes to Battlerap not expanding and having realized its full potential.
The UFF era was the closest Battlerap was to breaking through the ceiling and redefine work-culture, but it failed because of short-term capitalist greed excusing unprofessionalism.
If unprofessionalism and favoratism would been fought, it woulda made Battlerap more stable longterm, having more stable talent inflow, better product, better events, and a more stable consumerbase.
Making sponsorship a way better investment.
The money was there to develop Battlerap as an industry.
Itβs just not a good investment when you canβt even guarantee ppl will have quality rounds together, let alone even show up.
About time
Smack needed some sort of content for YouTube.
I like this, it gives that old feel.
This beat is fire, way too fire to be wasted on some battle rap diss.
He should have made a real song to this.
because Jaz is refusing to give Hustle a rematch
Anytime real money came into battle rap something always prevents it from progressing.Ofcourse itβs possible, itβs just not smart.

Usually it was bad production, then it became battlers just looking at it like a one big paycheck and give a poor performance so nobody wanted to invest.
Then it was the silent investors, then battlers decided it was ok to just show up and battle. dodge face offs, no promoting it on social media
Good bars but off beat
