I'll argue the lyricism has gotten worse, and only the energy has improved

I've heard the Tay Rocs, K Shines, Tworks and they sound like clones of what niggas was doing in 2010. Bunch of dudes that yell and have gun bars. Nothing crazy about any of their pens

Rum Nitty on the other hand, he's got a pen. Bigg K has a pen.

The problem is this is what the fans are settling for. Geechi’s one of the best guys out right now but I just got done watching him vs K and am still smh why the crowd lost it over

‘I put metal in kids...Scooby Doo’
And
‘I put an AR in front of K...it ain’t Noah’s Ark’

Shits trash but he says it mean so the crowd eats it up. It’s more emphasis on performance over bars lately and the results ain’t always pretty.

Haven’t seen that yet. Stopped paying for the app a while back because I wasn’t watching as much. Got a little more time on my hands lately though so might be time to re-up

I respect SMACK & the prestige that the league has, but they're fuckin up their money doing dumb shit

I was out after Goodz vs Cassidy in Atlanta. Getting back into business with Cassidy obviously is a money decision but giving him a few main events set battle rap back about 5 years.
