I know we like to clown JC & Danny Myers for battling random nobodies every other day but unless you have a primary source of income outside BR, it’s only way to keep the lights on.

For someone of Geechi’s notoriety/tier, battling that much is not feasible because his price is exponentially higher than theirs and most small leagues can’t afford it consistently. We all know the type of figures Mook sees from his battles and we also saw his living conditions. I remember at one point K-Shine was showing off his ATL mini-mansion and new whips. Once he fell out with URL and the battles slowed up, he’s back in Harlem sitting on a porch with Rex.

Besides Hitman, DNA, and Math…most of these dudes is down bad foreal.

Geechi battles damn near as much as they do

JC just battled P.A.Y.N.E 2 weeks ago. Danny Myers battled Reverse Live (not making that up I swear) around the same time.

Couldn’t tell you when Geechi’s last battle was. If it was small league, I’m sure it was at a huge discount from his normal fee.

The thing is that Geechi isn't some knuckle head that is stuck in the trenches, he's an acclaimed battle-rap that has earned more money and had access to way more opportunities than a regular street nikka ever could. He should've never had to have needed to go back to the streets. He could've very well parlayed the success he had and the money he made as a battle rapper into anything else. Geechie knew better.

He battled on small leagues all the time

Tay roc is another one that battles way too much despite his status.

These guys think they’re too famous/lit to get real jobs…that’s the problem, imo. Geechi, who is one of the biggest battlers pause, who hit like a 7-10k lick battling maybe once a month, can’t afford to just live off battle rap. Specially not how he wants to live…with the Pradas and Guccis and chains, etc… we been seeing him in. Cali rent/mortgage…hella kids…a wife, all that.

Winning tournaments and having big PPV battles ain’t a frequent and concrete thing…especially not anymore. Go put in an application man, smh…yall shoulda been working instead of now having to apply for jobs at like 40, smh. I always liked Geechi, not so much as a rapper but his personality and all that…but how this looks bro ain’t touching the street until he damn near 50 anyway, smh
This is true for 90 of battlers but on top of battles he won a tournament ( can't remember but didn't he win 2 times) and Coty money 3 times, even without consistent battles he's one of the few who could live off it if he invested.

I mean dude was on Kai cenat who is big as shyt

First step should been leave expensive ass LA. nikkas like Suge who isn't really that successful live in Atlanta for a reason
