Can we talk how Lottazay got robbed in the UFF? He clearly beat Ill Will, no debating. nikkas gonna tell me Ill Will won those 1st two rounds? He might've had the line of the battle but that was it. This is why battles can't be judge in URL. The game is all politics and favoritism.

while we talkin bout black ice can anyone ID these beats playin in the background tho?



that last one knocks :ohlawd:


Why the hell would leagues just give Smack footage? :why:
How are other leagues suppose to build their brand when nikkas want everything to drop under the URL name?

The business behind this battlerap shyt is so weird.

exactly, that fukk shyt Gracie and them was trying to do might have fukked up the game cuz now nikkas can just be like "i'll take the battle if you put it on smack page"

:snoop: tryin too hard to get the smack cosign when they really dont even need it if they just book dope battles

This is just my opinion from the outside looking in.

Mz Gracie is playing the game. I didn't listen to the whole back & forth, but I don't need when I can just look at your actions.

She's on some funny shyt. The Awakening trailer dropped on URL's channel, so perhaps the people (battle rappers included) were lead to believe the battles would also drop on URL's channel.

She didn't want to announce they were one round battles.

When they split the battles, she got the battles that had potential to get more views.

In that Big T BRA I was referring to a couple pages back, I finally finished it. He said him & Ms Gracie had a falling out & he just don't fukk with her. Big T isn't the type of guy to really go into it. No grown man is gonna beef with a woman, but he just kind of gave you the impression that she's funny style.

I also notice how Gorilla Warfare is kind of distancing itself from Smack, who has always shown love. In their most recent trailer for "The Crown" event, they didn't use any URL footage, which I feel was intentional. With the battle rappers that haven't battled on their brand, they used footage from Battle Rap America.

It's like they finally feel they are in position to compete. I feel Gracie played the game. Used her "brother" Smack for a cosigned. They peeped Black Ice Cartel's footage game, so reached out to them to shoot the battles for "The Awakening." Whether you like their visual style or not with the sound effects, it's different & nyggas are fukking with it.

I feel what Black Ice was saying about the door. ARP touched on it as well. Your missing out on money when you let in all those nyggas in for free. This is a business

all that gonna do is hurt them in the end, John Dough effects be takin battles to the next level, and once smack/url gets their shyt together and starts puttin out shyt regularly again everybody gonna run back to them

Californ-i-a by way of BK
@FreshAIG

Do you know the nikka in the green? I went to school with this nikka.. For the love of me I can't figure out why he is everywhere in the battle world despite not battling. Is he selling that work? :damn:

The nikka is literally on cam everywhere at these events. :wtf:

I was wondering the same thing. I see him all the time but have no clue who he is

nikka was always extra social with everybody but damn... He flipping coins, on stage, in vlad vlogs, etc. :dahell:
I can't figure it out. :yeshrug:
More power to him though.

The amount of non battling "hood celebs" the battle world has produced is crazy. Everybody has a name now, especially New York nikkas. Look at Nellz.. Check cashing girl by day, "boss chick Nellz" at night. :mjlol:
