The only problem battle rap has is capitalism. Even Q-Tip said capitalism was the problem we're dealing with in Hip-hop when Math interviewed him. If you take an artform that takes time to develop for it to be quality and overwork the artists and saturate the market, this is the natural result of it. We should've known this would be a problem as soon as choking and stumbling became more acceptable in battles, because that was a side effect of too many battles happening frequently. The URL app was also one of the stupidest decisions they could've made. Whether you like it or not, the people that made the most decisions and had the most power, responsibility and money are to blame, and that's the league owners. The artists fucked up in that they allowed the league owners to make all of this money off of them, only to screw them over in the end. As fans we just want to see good battles and don't really care that much about what league it's on, so the only people creating real value in the artform are the artists, but because they don't have a collective mindset or understand the value of their labour, the league owners divided them and exploited them to the bone and here we are. Like, for Smack to make it public that the well is dry means it was going dry or already dry for at least a year or two. Of course as a league owner he's blaming artists for "charging too much", but in reality this would've been mitigated if battlers were paid well from the beginning and their battles were more spaced out. Like, most of the matchups don't even make sense these days and they just make anyone battle who's available. I'm tired of not caring about battles lol.

I think URL biggest downfall is the app/caffeine. Majority of BR fans don't have the app... Imagine if they stayed on YT and dropped all the battles on their channel. Fans can't even see a lot of battles they want to, without paying $7 a month. URL having so many cards a year is also a bad look... URL should only have 4 BIG cards a year. Not these bs terrible cards they been having consistently.. And these vets only have so many battles left.. THEN WHAT? - BRING SURF BACK! #Freedawavee 🌊🌊
