I was so with Joe on this one. If y'all don't cut all that "When you come from where we come from..." bullshyt trying to shoot these nikkas some bail for an absolute bonehead decision

nikkas is almost 40 and worried about some bum nikkas cracking jokes cause you went and got a job, instead of putting your whole freedom at risk and not being there for your family at all. You can't use the excuse of trying to feed your family, while you allegedly are making 6 figures. Either make that shyt work, because despite what Ish thinks, that's enough to be at least decent, or if those numbers are not what your actually bringing in, swallow your fukking pride and GO GET A fukkING JOB. Stealing and flipping pills should not be your go to response to trying to make it out here at that age with exposure to other avenues. And no disrespect, but you a battle rapper, nobody fukking knows who you are. Them excuses was ridiculous.

Another issue with Ish's take is battle rappers dont need to spend a stupid amount of money to keep up appearances when they battle. Especially Geechi, he not one of them "im so rich" battlers like a Goodz. I feel like most battlers just have plain shyt. Surf battled more than once in regular sweats and a shirt/wife beater. Ish talking like battling is like fighters in ufc/boxing. Fighters gotta pay a lot to train to prepare for the fight, split the purse with their coach and all that other shyt. Battlers dont have none of that, they write they shyt and memorize it. They may research some shyt if they not lazy, but most the shyt be general bars. Hell Geechi has been guilty of freestyling some shyt in a battle or two.

But they also fly around... That's not free.. And they ain't coming alone... That's not free.. And they staying at hotels, that's not free

And I've yet to see a battler doing 15 fukking battles a year... So 150k is wrong

Then there's the parties after, the women, the lifestyle... They still work on music, so everything that comes with studio time, releasing, beats, etc

You don't have to be Goodz to need a clothes, a chain, watch, car............

You got a girl? Kids?? Add them into that. Insurance out of pocket is no joke. He lives in Cali... Big money




We can go on. Not saying it's impossible. Like Mark said. Most people in America make less than 60k a year.. But most people aren't living like rappers or trying to...

But I highly doubt Geechi did 10 battles in 2025... And when you can get another 100k off a quick lick... Sometimes you take a chance. I know too many ex-cons who cannot leave that fast money alone

Palming a mans head in a bed I suppose is ok if they're dying

fukk outta here with this weirdo shyt Joe and them are on

ANYTHING is ok when your friend won't be on Earth forever.. nikkas act like their lips was touching. I seen enough clips of nikkas knocking foreheads in some brute show of brotherhood.. Now it's gay when someone is dying out?

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

I wonder if flip got some type of open relationship or arrangement with his wife dude be doing this type stuff, in front of his son too. Crazy.

Married since 21.... and famous

Those the prime candidates for "Do what you want, just don't bring nothing home" arrangements

Flights/hotels and shyt are paid by the league they battling at most the time, especially the leagues someone like a Geechi would be on. 150k isnt wrong, no one said Geechi was battling 15x a year, they were saying he cleared 150k a year and shouldve managed his money better to not be in this position.

This wasnt 100k off a quick lick. From the numbers eazy was giving out, mightve been 20k If they were lucky. That gets bussed down 4 ways.

So Joe has a problem with Shadee going through his phone, but thinks they should 100% be able to just because she's a girl

No... Joe said "Even if you making 10k a battle... Do 15 battles a year and that's 150k...."

Then they starting arguing like any of it was facts. First off, they said the TOP battlers get 15k a show now.. And again.. nobody battling no 15 fukking times a year. And flying YOU out with a telly is not flying out those other 5 nikkas standing behind you. And that's for the top leagues. You think Joe Schmoe Battle League is paying all that money out??

The whole premise of the talk was that battle rap is in shambles and NOBODY is getting paid like that anymore and leagues are dead.




Bro had over 3,000 pills on him. Selling them for $10 each (they don't sell for $10 each) is 30k alone... And this isn't the first time. They hit a STRING of places and was followed when they landed.. You think they just let them rob these places? Nah this is what they already had stashed. They was coming to commit MORE crimes. Them nikkas BEEN doing this

 

[MicIsGod]

Why not just sell weed and be a Cali plug is my question lol if you’re going that route.
