Which League Has Meant More To Battle Rap: Smack/URL, GT, Or KOTD?

[jordank]

I voted GT because I didn't see that SMACK DVD was included before I voted, I would prolly change my vote now but both are pretty close tbh

KOTD isnt even close

GT!! They changed the game totally. Smack had to step their game up after GT arrived.

GT brought diff cities & talent into it not just the cali & NY battle scenes that were already doing there thing

GT started the style clash most of us love & the city vs city , coast vs coast battles , race vs race & country vs country battles

GT made it acceptable for all races to battle (wasnt till GT that i saw alot of asian & hispanic batters )

edit: just saw your comment soda , i wouldn't have left you hangin , i remember the guidelines of these threads

but people are retarded and think this is about views. then again summer madness got a lot of attention from a lot of different celebraties. but at the same time i could give a fuck what drake or diddy think about battle rap. it depends what your opinion on what "the culture" means. i dont want it to get too mainstream.

GT easily, they made it blow up and become what it is today. Smackdvd was way to onedimensional and internal to take it to the same level. If URL was the only league to ever exist then battlerap wouldnt go international or blow up like that.

What do you think those views indicate though?

[QuadDamageNZ]

GT probably just cause of inspiring Smack to start his shit again, but realistically over the last five or so years Smack beeen doing it so big its hard not to vote. So i did. URL.

exactly , thats why a hate on SMACK & URL (NOT alot of the battlers of fans alot of them , there heavy in my top 10)
BUT
THE DIRECTION SMACK WANTS TO TAKE BATTLING ,
he even said he wants to "INDUSTRIALIZE BATTLING" and get on TV ,

i work as a casting asst. & P.A on films in New Orleans (just moved though) but i know the biz

gonna turn into a WWF / BATTLING / MMA / HIP HOP TREND circus type show , A MOCKERY OF THE CULTURE - A FUCKIN CARICATURE

manufactured beefs & blogs by writers ,
battlers rounds are gonna be revised & rewritten in certain parts , censored theres gonna be actors made out to be battlers w/ scrpted / written rounds
wardrobe that dresses battlers in trendy clothes for money

if you think this part of the culture should be destroyed by SMACK PLANS then you must not think of this as an art are prob one of these new school battle fans w/ no respect for the culture / elements then your a fuckin HERB

[OG Hater]

nobody from URL uses anything from GT or KOTD ... But them GT, KOTD, and DF sure do copy shit from URL

[festeelerfan]

Elements League tbh. Pat Stay is the reason GT/KOTD exist lol

That's some nice sensationalist & speculative propaganda you got going there.

no inevitable truth thats been stated by SMACK plenty times , one he signs that deal creative control from him & battler become obsolete , SMACK becomes a paid host & gets a percentage of the profit from production company & TV revenue (SMACK BECOME A HOST / PUPPET BUT GETS PAID)

SMACK BENIFITS FROM HIS PLANS MEANWHILE THE CULTURE DISSOLVES INTO A MAINSTREAM MOCKERY OF "BATTLING"

like houston said (IN MY SIG) it turns to "fake thug theater from men" in rhyme form mixed with the WWF dynamic

if thats real hip hop & battling to & good for the culture I dont even know what to say , if thats what you like what ever floats your boat but been heavy in the scene in NOLA & GT FL and been into battles since 97 when we barley got any on net

His latest comment was more along the lines of what I was looking for when I singled him out earlier. He held back though.
