Judges got removed because it was becoming difficult to book battles with judges and voting. And as others have said Cortez/ head ice will just be happening if we go to judges.

Besides judges will still only be judging reactions in the room so when Tay roc dose a Nikka and the crowd goes crazy for it judges will still give points for that. Not many judges going to say "homey was getting a little overhyped I was really listening the other dude got it"

Adding judges will just add controversy

No it wouldn't. Ya'll sound more scared than the artists. This isn't 2003 and it isn't Flight Klub. nikkas aren't battling over a pool table of money cutting side deals with judges.

We have FAR more options now. You can have judges in another location watching via cam, and with the ability to rewind, rewatch, etc.

I don't think ya'll see the vision... judging would make it very legit if done correctly. Again, UFF was the guinea pig and it worked well. The only controversial decision was Ty Law losing to Prez and the Lox themselves said Law had bars but they couldn't look past the choke.

Again, what's wrong with this?

I'm gonna wait for nikkas to be honest and state what the issue is lol.... "Well tay roc is gonna say dose you up and blah, blah" lol... ALL things will be judged and some people who live and die by "lyrical miracle" will be DYING if they don't get well-rounded. First time a nikka gets on a card and sees him name with a 0-2 on it, he'll either start getting on his shyt, or fall to the wayside...

You still haven't answered the question of how will they decide what's a good bar and what's not a good bar. How will that be tallied up in this fantasy you have? A bar can be dope to me and can go over your head and/or not have the same effect for you. That would make it *drumroll* SUBJECTIVE

You can't judge or define subjective. This is fact.

Only reason I would be against judging is because judging in Boxing and UFC be trash a lot of times and those are usually more clear cut than battling

The judges would have to b reputable people and also they'd have to have a scoring system to judge things. Almost like Math's bars system just not as tedious.

The rumored SM 4 card so far is

Charlie Clips vs Iron Solomon
Swave Sevah vs John John
Serius Jones vs Tech 9
X Factor vs K-Shine
Ty Law vs DNA

That looks like the worst card I have ever seen in my life. Not URL card I mean battle card period

It's not a good card I'll give you that.

Though I think Clips vs Solomon could be a surprisingly dope battle if Solomon comes back true to form. and I'm interested to see how Tech 9 will do being that he hasn't battled in a minute

But the rest of that line-up :scusthov:
