I’m fukking crying. Hitman probably sponsored it
I may watch if it’s a short battle

I think both dudes are awful to listen to, which is why they are where they’re at, right at the bottom of the card

Danja has a couple of battles I like but that’s well over a decade again.

KD has the most punchable voice in battlerap.

Batlerap dead. Over-saturation, battlers being unprepared because they chasing checks and bootlegs have killed this culture.

You cant pay me to click play on a NJT or Clips battle anymore.

BR so dry, i dunno what has gotten less attention from their fans; roc vs. will or bam dropping 83.

drama been frontlining the culture for a couple years now. i think we need to officially name this new era.
no disrespect to grind time, kotd, etc but in terms of moving the culture in numbers you had smack era, url/youtube era, caffeine and everything after eazy/remy/pap. im calling this the algorithm era where battles mean little but drama and beefing is the only thing that holds attention longer than a 24 hour span. shout out to millz, he def shifted things also, but his shyt was the offspring from drama so im giving his diss era a subsidiary label. if these dudes still making records by the end of the year, i'll go head and give it its own era tag.
just go look at the first few pages of when this thread first started/the continuation from the BR thread on Sohh, the excitement from then compared to now is jarring & it’s enough blame to go around

I made this post about URL three yrs ago but really BR in general now is like WCW when Vince bought it
URL in 2023 looking like WCW in 2000
