Didn't T Rex get in a car accident when he was suppose to battle Ill Will tho?
Its crazy to think while battle rap is as big as its ever been, battlers would flex how many " 1 million view battles" they have as a stamp of popularity and dominance. Meanwhile them Filipino battlers be getting 20-40 million views and we never heard of em nor respect it lol. Let alone other countries...
I mean the biggest url battle got what? Maybe 5-7 million views? I see why they stop fuckin wit youtube cuz in reality its still a VERY nitch audience.
Shit youtubers like Vlad TV and shit do bigger numbers.
Na i get that. I should of specified in the youtube hayday of releasing battles it was still those numbers. The PPVs, the caffeine's etc all came about as a result that it wasnt gettin the numbers. The censorship was nail in the coffin tho.CS URL being super niche.
But you gotta look at the numbers in context when comparing it to platforms like Vlad. Most of the battles have already been seen on the app, caffeine, watchbattlelive, etc before it hits YT months later.
Similar to the Budden pod. After I hear the pod on Spotify, I rarely ever go back and watch it again on YT. That's why the numbers on YT don't fully represent how big the JBP is, same with URL.
I was surprised when I went on versetracker & saw a league doing crazy numbers. URL wouldn't book a Flipino battler, we know KOTD will just like they did with Oxy. Overall, I think Caffeine helped them a lot, before the deal. We never seen any billboards about URL now we do but being able to live stream any event for free took away their most money.Its crazy to think while battle rap is as big as its ever been, battlers would flex how many " 1 million view battles" they have as a stamp of popularity and dominance.
