MY EXPERT OPINION EP# 207: K SHINE EXPOSES BATTLE RAP CULTURE, DISLOYALTY, BROTHERHOOD +MUCH MORE

For sure one of my favs.

Moral of the story..understand what you are signing and never sign anything without a trustworthy attorney present..Hopefully Shine can get through this and make a major comeback cause it ain’t the same without him and Surf

[@Psn.HerCake_MyFace]

Battle rap has been fine without him or surf. ARP and Rbe is holding it down

[@JhuslieLyfleur]

​@@Psn.HerCake_MyFacenaw..I miss surf

[@JamesJones-vn8qo]

❤ ok

[@DominantElting-wj6pk]

@@Psn.HerCake_MyFacewhat are u talking about , that has nothing to do with the issue how leagues do wrong by the artist’s allegedly. I normally don’t even comment but this was a irrelevant comment and pessimistic.

Big Salute to SHINE. "New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings." Lao Tzu

[@Klasik489]

This was a great interview! S/o to K Shine definitely a legend in battle rap! Can’t wait to see what’s next for him in battle rap! Salute to Swave and Ike P!

[@Just_KennySTL314]

Ohhhhh Hitman’s story about his dealings with Url would be crazy

[@TarellHudson]

So basically, Shine is a private contractor not beholden to URL. No guarantees to him per se but he’s beholden to them as far as who he battles. And because it was blank names with upfront payment and backend fees, technically they could pay him $15k today to battle Taco Tony and $2k next month to battle Lux.

Makes me respect Bigg K's refusal to cave in and still create a lane. Talent can beat everything in the end.

[@biggfacts6083]

Yea he just battled on KOTD. But ok

[@jrrd4069]

@@biggfacts6083 What's that got to do with the convo sir. He's not signing to any predatory contracts.

[@nimmha6708]

Yeah so he ain't doing business with the URLeeches. Good for him. RBE, Chrome, GTX, KOTD all better for these emcees nowadays. @@biggfacts6083

Same with a ward

44:51 That “curtain” analogy is on point 💯

[@Just_KennySTL314]

This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 content it needs to be brought to the light 🫡 K-Shine

[@Just_KennySTL314]

Now we gotta get Daylyt side of the story Math👀 😂 then you gotta bring Rex and Verb back together and tie everything in from the inception of url

[@johnrussell1248]

Yhea we need that fr

[@kashflokevo450]

I love to see how far Math Hoffa has came (pause)….he went from getting the short piece of bread to getting getting his own loaf…much love

[@Uncleboogie478]

Brizz said it best vs wavy "This is a battle I DON'T NEED OR LIKE" they been setting up these kind of matches

[@arcadestickgaming6601]

"They give a championship match to a nigga who DONT EVEN FIGHT"

[@N3KR0SiS_YT]

Damn i wanna see some brizz battles man

[@kristopherwilliams5270]

Whatever happened to Brizz?

[@N3KR0SiS_YT]

@@kristopherwilliams5270 no idea man. But he was B(rizz) when he was on stage and that wavvy battle is some pinnacle shit. O-red battle another good one. Like bro never let you down from what i see. Granted people like what they like and judge accordingly but he's one of my favorites for sure.

[@nimmha6708]

He "ran" away from battlerap after having an altercation at an event. Mook & Calicoe vs Brizz & T-Top. Brizz was weird that night, Mook punched AT him and then the event was basically over. @@kristopherwilliams5270

[@veemajor1721]

Finally ! Shine is spending time with us 💁🏾‍♀️👏🏿✊🏿

[@thehighbridz]

Aye Verb broke ALL OF THIS BATTLE RAP CONTRACT SITUATION down so INTRICATELY a while back. It's almost eerie because everything Shine said about URL was exactly what Verb said about countless other rappers. He even tried to warn the new guys coming in about things like this and most of them didn't listen. I know everyone has different life situations, but to keep seeing your peers tell the same stories yet you still end up in the same situation is wild. URL must have Dirt and possible career ending info on dudes because this sounds like some Big Red from The 5 Heartbeats type of sh!t😅

[@walkermusicandother3374]

Yea they make them compromise

[@KatoOnTheTrack1]

So in other words everything is in the contracts and they sign anyway…

[@JPitamus]

Daylyt too!

[@LEvELSCALES]

URL got battlers in 2 year contracts 😂😂😂 Sat half of RBE artists and their own artists down.

[@DJKuroh]

It's easy: they were BROKE. Period. Geechi: When I finally met all my favorite battle rappers they all was broke

[@theoervin4755]

What needs to be understood by a lot of people is how deep contract law really is. In many instances contract law is above the law of the land. If you sign a contract the law of the land cannot save you and the average citizen isn't taught that Also what needs to be understood is that the business culture that he is speaking of it's not exclusive to underground rap battles or the music industry as many people believe. This is the business culture across-the-board. It doesn't matter if you were a W-2 worker or you're an independent contractor, this is happening more often than not. Profitability dictates that you spend low on resources and workers but charge high prices. This is coming from a person that had to learn the hard way.

fire interview i love math and shine growth its nothing but tremendous salute brothers!

Math has gotten really good at pushing back on certain points and extending the conversation. Good shit brother, i see the growth!

I noticed how shine say bro a lot.had me thinking of dna backstoy blogs 😁

[@ExoticAsianGoddess]

I'm so proud of Math, Swave, Ike, & Shine. I have watched all of you guys fight, hustle, battle, & perform to get where you are today. You guys are Artist. You guys are Men. You guys are Kings! 👑🐐's 🗣📢 #HoffaGang #TeamHomi #ZipEmUp #ForTheMuthafuckingCulture ‼️🩷

Thanks for bringing battlerap back onto the show math. Im a looooong time supporter, i feel you're at your best in this lane

[@mango1769]

This was a great episode however I think k-shine deserves at least a three-hour episode with his knowledge and experience I know he has so much more to say. He probably has some wild stories to tell

[@gazac5018]

“Battle rap ain’t what it seem, cuz they got 5 missing like the Submarine”-K-Shine

[@PookieKurt]

Much respect to you Math for giving Shine the opportunity to speak his peace 💪🏾

[@feetyler4244]

Why Math tell Champ to chill on the traveling 😂😂😂

[@gazac5018]

32:04 is When Shine told us he WOKE TF UP!!!

[@ntuthukobrendonbhengu7518]

What Math said summed it up perfectly, battle rap should be promoter-artist instead of label-artist. You can't have variety trying to mix up 1 small roster and the battlers with the highest profiles either do multiple leagues or stick to one but have bigger bags outside of battle rap.

[@majorant102]

Salute my brother 🙏🏾 💯 Thank you

man straight up and down ..Math episodes is so engaging and interesting…shh..came onto this episode off of Drinks champs recent episode with Meth…yeah 🥱…big up Math!!! keep it funky

I can Tell Math been taking a Lot of Wisdom and Jewels and advice from Vlad when them cameras go off. As well as other great people he been around and has interviewed. I love to see this for math and the ( My expert Opinion ) Podcast members imma say it every time 🎉🎉🎉 flowers going to always be given from me 💯🤞🏾

It’s unfortunate that it takes controversy for a battle rapper to get on the pod. Salute to shine and math. Hoping this situation clears up and both parties amicably agree to push the culture forward and put shine back on that big stage

Math wanted to get battle rappers but they all hates in the beginning. Now I'm sure they'll beg to be on here.

"Your perpetuity to the universe and beyond" is a real thing like that brother said and that shiii is hard as heck to reverse once you sign such a deal. This why from this very point on for all whos watching and listening LEARN BUSINESS,LEARN CONTRACTS,LEARN "WORDINGS" IN CONTRACTS ETC all of this is very important if you bet on you self then remember what Nipsey Hussle(Rip Nipsey Hussle)said its "A Marathon" That was a jewel drop if ever there was one.

[@fragrantbodyoilz76]

Love this episode, I do think when you sign the check you think differently. We are 20 years in business and everybody feels like the are worth more then what they are worth. When you are a business owner you take the biggest risk, so you should receive the biggest reward. From personal experience in working with some battle rappers and some mainstream rappers, their business acumen is less then exemplary. You have to use this to push merch and your celebrity to get money. The business model is unfair to battle rappers but the RESPECT you all get can translate into bread. Peace. Stay up Shine!
