I forgot Geechi was locked up. Has there been any updates on what’s going on with him

Conceited vs Tsu Surf is my go to battle for putting people on

Thats sad battle rap is fye

Could be facing from 3-10.

I heard a lot of them getting sniped for exclusive contracts for streaming battle ish and stuff outside of battle Rap is what hurt battle Rap a lot this decade with all their mid tier to top talent and then started alking for way too much money when they would come back

Joe budden had a segment on it and the politics too earlier this year

I BANG NIGGA

Tayroc trying out wrestling now lol

I used to say this every week for like 2 years

Nigga hilarious

i still say that s*** too every now and then

I never thought I would see TayRoc doing backflips 😂

If Smack can get some sort of deal with YouTube, Twitch or Kick then battle rap will be back

fascinating arc

I wonder if he’s even looking for that

1.Too greedy

2. Youtube not looking that way cause (once again) this s*** too niche. It’ll end up like every other deal that url has ever gotten.

Vote we change thread title to discussion bout the state of battle rap cause this DNA interview is interesting @op

Interesting to read that battle rap is "dead" over there too

I was a huge follower during a lot of years of battle rap in spanish and i guess its kind of dead and trending down too nowdays

In the spanish scene its get carried by the yearly Red Bull events (these still attrack a lot of people) and a league called FMS

Wonder if it just dying worlwide because it reached a good peak but not there wasnt enough of a generational takeover so nog enough new interesting names

Beasley kinda alluded to it in an interview with HipHopIsReal.

Smack streamed an event on Twitch late last year but complained about the viewership. He blamed it on ppl bootlegging but tbh URL did horrible promoting it.

A youtube deal is definitely a stretch but I’m sure Twitch and Kick is possible. S*** even KOTD had a twitch deal at one point.

Them new york niggas definitely following the jay z “ownership is king” formula they not gon go for anything they not having 100% ownership over so of course they not promoting twitch lmao

reminds me of where standup comedy is @

Man this is my first time learning it was a twitch event for smack lmaooooo

Standup feels like it’s been taken over by really dumb comedians

It used to be so exciting both on and off the stage.

You’d get top tier performances and also other independent media perspectives and recaps within that community.

Queenzflip, JayBlac, ARP, Angryfan had his crazy rants, then there’s 15MOF that had pre-battle and post-battle interviews and hilarious game show content, etc etc.

Now its just everyone choking or getting locked up, and one or two cards that seem interesting because everyone has already battled everyone.
