GT Battle rappers don't come across the same as URL battle Rappers. I've seen a few GT battles but found them hard to watch..URL is better at putting together actual battles people want to see. GT just lets anybody get on and get Camera time. URL is a lot more discriminating with it's selection as to who can battle on URL's stage. URL to me is the better league but GT does have a lot of variety when it comes to battle rappers. I don't find them to be believable too many Stage Gansta's in GT.
@question3030 That's not going to happen.It's not lucrative for URL to do that. URL setting up battled with Battle rappers that are in their league only means they keep all the money. And if they do cross battles DVD rights, making money from that you can't control someone uploading a battle but once it's uploaded you can't get a person to buy it. And they would have to split the money with the other league. Why do that when they can keep all the money. It's business and URL does it well.
It's 2012, nobody cares about The 5 Elements, especially offline...outside of Jin & Iron Soloman SMACK was always street shit. He followed BMF, Fab, & Jeezy around, he was never trying to prove how hip hop he was. GT comes off like it's where the dudes who get picked on at school go to be superheroes. All of that "this is real hip hop(ie unpopular music)" is played the fuck out.
If I was asked what is the difference between Url and GT ? I would answer sarcastically and say, YOU SEE BLACKS, WHITES,LATINS,ASIANS,AND MIDDLE EASTERNS!!!
@whoflylikeeagleman the thing is d-rect is the only person who records all of these battles and uploads them. On top of that he is recording battles from all 4 corners of the earth for GT. So I can see why it takes him forever to go through everything and upload them consistently. Now URL is another story because the battle events take place in one day/night and in one place so there is no excuse, the battles should be uploaded easily and consistently. example: KOTD uploads an event promptly.
@whoflylikeeagleman, Not really, GT actually does upload battles quicker, the only time Smack actually upload battles quicker are when there's a holiday or a special event, Big T vs Surf isn't coming out till the Super Bowl, so that's another 3 weeks till we get another battle from him, GT's most recent event was being released 2 weeks after the event happened, GT releases battles every week while Smack uploads shit 3 weeks to a month.
@tjmack010 If URL uploads battles quickly URL can't make money off of it in DVD sales, so URL is not going to do that. If you want to see a battle buy the ticket or just wait for it to be uploaded, but You can't expect URL which is a business that thrives by making money to give you a Battle for free and as URL grows and becomes bigger you may not ever see another battle from them for free unless they're trying to promote a battle rapper on their roster so they can make money off of him/her.
@MizzFabulous1000, URL gets money off of views, we're the source of their income, there's no real excuse to why they release their battles so late, I'm a film maker myself and it doesn't take 3 to 5 months to edit a video like theirs, because it doesn't involve complicated cuts or edits, it's linear filming and linear filming takes atleast 2 to 3 hours to do, I really have no problem with how they release their videos, I was just making a caparison to URL's and GT's.
@tjmack010 Can people stop saying they get money off views. They get 1/10 of a cent per view. 1 million views = $1000. So if one battle gets 500k views thats only 500$ they pay one battler more than that. Come on bro, stop with the views thing. How much do u think they get per view? 10$ the money they get from views aint shit. They have to build the brand, and stop saying we're the source, are movies in the theater free? NO because it cause money to make films google ads dont do shit
@tjmack010 I see your point. I do believe they get paid for views but I've often heard them mention DVD sales so they get money from that too but your point of view is understandable.
GT is for niccas who think people still care about The 5 Elements. Hippity hoppers & bippity boppers. People stuck in 1994..& there's no such thing as real hip hop. Biggie & Nas have rapped about material shit & killing people too. When did "real hip hop" become music for lonely angry dudes pissed off because they don't fit in? Angry Bullied At School Hop. Thank Eminem.
swave ma nigga. cal vs philly swain would b a good fuckin match tho. passwordz vs surf maybe?... ness lee vs jc....u kno wat, fuckit i wanna see dizaster vs cal
GT and url isnt as different as people think, at the end of the day you got to face the Nigga in front of you and perform, dont get caught up in that bullshit folks
If you mad at the fact swave vs ice is on grindtime yous a sucka ass nigga, at least we wont wait 3 months for it to come out, plus swave is just showing his loyalty for grindtime
wen they started mixing url and grindtime names i almost threw up i swear to god wtf dirtbag dan and tsu surf i swear if i ever hear that battle is coming out im killing somebody wtf is that the only dudes who should comeover that are back packers are dizaster and real deal thats it niggas like philly swain and most of grindtime east is good for it but please no cali back packers oh and maybe passwurdz and nocando
GT doesn't represent "real hip hop". People prefer to be racially diplomatic, but Hip Hop culture is originally a black inner city street culture. As Hip Hop got mass marketed, whites/suburbans began to participate, then gradually Hip Hop evolved into everyone's culture.
Anybody can rhyme words , but it doesn't mean they're able to capture the soul and essence of that hood culture, which is the foundation. GT represents a group of nerdy suburbanites who rhyme words, but that's not Hip Hop.
@JerseySHIEST "QUOTE"Anybody can rhyme words , but it doesn't mean they're able to capture the soul and essence of that hood culture, which is the foundation. GT represents a group of nerdy suburbanites who rhyme words, but that's not Hip Hop. "QUOTE"
Hip Hop was never about the hood, even tho it originated in the hood. Its essence is art and performance. Rap, Breakdancing, DJing, Graffitti, its all about art.
@JerseySHIEST, Bruh get outta here with that shit, you act like Black people where the only people in the ghettos, Latinos and WHITES were there too, it's just Blacks were more into it, Hip-hop started in the 70's, in that time, Hip-hop was just party music that anyone could listen to, the whole "hood rap" shit didn't really start till the 80's, so quit being ignorant with the whole "Hip-hop was a black thing", that's like saying Rock and Roll is a white thing.
@tjmack010 up HIp Hop crosses all boundaries, but originally it was a field of music created from the African American community and majority of the artist were also African American. And Rock & Roll is predominately white artist. Now Rock & Roll was originally started in the 40's Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, and more but all cultures like it. It's fine that a certain culture starts it but once a music genre becomes popular it can cross all cultural boundaries which is a good thing.
@MALIRIPPA Well true..URL does that to make sure the production of the DVD and editing is done properly also URL has to make their money off the DVD and all of that. If they give every battle away for free they wont make a lot of money so they are smart business men.
WOW!!! Sometimes these battles get a little to personal and maybe this really isn't for everyone, as far as URL and G/T it's a matter of preference for me anyway because I'm not going to say I like all the MCs in any league, if I'm not mistaken isn't Sevahs' whole team G/T ppl, well that might will explain his take on this...You have several leagues out there that have alot of talent and potential to become an artist if that's their goal, so it's no longer just about URL and GT
I honestly think I'd pay to see top grindtime mc's to go against top url mc's. Thing is, so many dudes have done both so it's hard to really put them into any of the 2.
@jspears19 it wouldn't bring more money for URL cuz if URL only let battle rappers battle that are only in URL they get all the money and they don't have to split it. And the problem with dealing with GT is they put the battles up for free way to soon after the battles. And URL would not be able to make more money off the DVD sales if GT puts the battles up for free. It would be to difficult to work out with money and all. It's a business first and money would be a factor
Grindtime represents real hiphop. It is diverse, they are lyrical, the are inclusive. Url is just a bunch of black people. Norbes has to do something about that.
