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

It is, but Jc put himself in that position. When you battle names of a higher status than you in battle rap, especially calling them out, while you still got Lux in your site your supposed to clip one of them at least 2-1 convincingly or at the most have a very debatable battle. He didn't do that vs Surf, Hollow, or Verb at all.

Same way Cal had to clip Math
Same way Verb had to clip Mook

Him and Verb and Hollow are debatable battles. And Surf a bytch why you even bring him up.

I agree 1000%, and been sayin the same thing.

JC has made terrible career management decisions.

Imagine battling scrubs in a basement when Lux responds to you in front of the world like this



JC was bettin against the odds and was letting them nikkas tell him he better than what he was

I would say it has nothing to do with London crowds, if anything they’re more appreciative of it.

Personally, I believe this specific matchup just shoulda been in the US.

It’s a personal view for this specific match up,
I’m not mad at the battle bein in London. Their crowds are good.

Maybe it’s recency bias because of the Lux vs Nitty battle which I really loved.

Sidebar: Twork getting Lux before JC is an insult to the integrity of Battlerap.

He been choking, scamming and no-showing FOR YEARS.

The umpteenth example over the years of URL not caring about Culture (anymore) and continuing to spread self-damaging work culture.

This behavior has been the most harmful thing they’ve done to long-term Battlerap culture, as it has and continues to send the wrong message of what gets rewarded.

Arsonal tweeted that Lux doesn't really want to battle JC because he was asking for $100k to battle him.

Lux vs Twork announced for Summer Madness



It's in London

the fukkery battle rap needs,

the debates already started just from the announcement,

JC took a L and he aint even battling

 

[TripleAgent]

It's not about merit, it's about popularity...which translates to ticket sales/PPVs/streams/whatever the means of recouping then seeing some kind of profits are...unfortunately. Twork vs Lux is a huge battle in battle rap, huge deal, that's all URL cares about. Nobody isn't gonna watch because Twork chokes and no shows and takes money, lol, everybody is still gonna tune in and be excited af, so..

Oh, I'm watching...just not paying

Danny clipped Tay Roc. Badly. So...

This got the potential to be the GOAT battle.

The Verb battle isn't debatable, the Hollow battle came and went it wasn't anything impactful or "must see tv" on JC performance at all. I brought up all of those names because regardless of how anybody views them. When those names on paper vs yours, you are supposed to go in for the kill every time, especially when the whole culture know you can do the shyt.

JC and Nitty are literally one in the same of just battling, and just doing the work, JC beat Nitty and Nitty still got Lux before him. That says a hell of a lot.

Danny clipped Tay Roc. Badly. So...

He absolutely did, but it still didn't launch him to get that Lux battle. I just told Rep the same thing, Nitty...JC ..Danny all battle any and everybody, yet Rum is the only one to get Lux. It's something about Danny and JC that's just off, or not appealing on the business end for a Lux battle.

Breh. It’s a business. It’s like anything else. If JC handles his career better he’d get the reward.

Danny has stated any time he's asked his life stops if he gets the Lux battle. Battles get unbooked, he locks in. He's willing to put it in writing. That's an excuse. If Lux/URL told him he has Lux next after he beat Roc, we wouldn't have seen him until the Lux battle.
