Pretty much everyone who watches KOTD either watches or knows about Smack battles/battlers. I'd bet the vast majority of the paying Smack fan base doesn't give half of a fukk about KOTD battles unless there's a known Smack battler on there. And the inferiority complex starts right from there. That's why you'll hear KOTD fans in an attempt to big up somebody like Dizaster try to tear down the Mooks or Tsu Surfs, meanwhile you'll hardly ever hear Smack fans even speak on Diz, and he's arguably the biggest battler outside of that platform.

It reminds me of UFC vs. boxing to be honest.

But I've even seen URL fans dog the shyt out of Diz. And he did have some very down and out ass moments. But even he was on point, I've seen him get dogged. I don't want to get into the whole Tsu Surf and Mook thing because I have my own opinions about their situations.

URL fans don't really follow KOTD. They literally don't watch and couldn't tell you who the KOTD champion is.

However, a KOTD fan is open to watching the URL.

I hate to make this race related, but we (blacks) are gonna just stick to what we like. I only listen to rap & r&b. That is it. I couldn't tell you what is happening in rock or any other genre. That's how it is. Someone white is more likely to take an interest in music that caters to blacks than vice versa.

And thats the elephant in the room. What I didn't like that URL did was not bring back some of the folks I liked battling on that platform. Then they're black business which I respect. But they seem unorganized and then do extra shady to other battle leagues that are black owned as well and more than likely smaller. As someone who is black, I don't rock with that shyt. And don't give me the whole its business and its competition shyt because I get that. However, a bit more organization and respect to other leagues to a certain degree goes a long way.

I know way more about hip hop than I do any other genre you mentioned. R&B....it depends...but thats another story. Jazz, more so older shyt you dig and make beats with, I know about. I go as far as punk and indie rock when it comes to rock music; oddly enough, it was originally our shyt in the 50s, too. Lol.

KOTD fans are known for that. They say slick shyt about any street battler on KOTD.

KOTD as a staff record label and a crew are good money, but fukk their fans.

LOL. Aight, fair enough. I'll peep.

I'm convinced Ars just raps the first thing he wrote down.

So @Ardamus you gonna show us the examples of URL fans shytting on KOTD fans?

I'm still scrolling thru those battles MJ mentioned actually. Give me a sec.

We need someone to pull out another gay looking picture of Ars again...last time I enjoyed watching him in a battle was him against iLL and the mini run he went on after that...now he's back to spitting trash filler with aggression :gucci:
