I don't trust battletruth or piperboy with anything. They're both weirdos....but yeah if this is true....man.....damn. Yikes for the culture. Or anyone involved with the man.
Admittedly, I want to give Blac the benefit of the doubt, but, I think the most likely scenario is that when Tech 9 took time off, he was just like yo Blac I gotta handle some shit. When you have a friend that you trust, you don't really ask too many questions after that and respect their personal issues. It does get increasingly sketchy if Blac knew the cause of death (which is still not public as far as I know?) or if he knew about the specifics of Tech's cases or whomever is organizing the donations knew about his cases. I don't think that's something Blac would effortfully investigate like Vada Fly who was coming at him (how does that dude still have a following, anyways? SMH), because that mutual understanding is already there.He got jammed up in November around the time he went on hiatus from champion for "personal stuff". It's completely speculative but I personally feel he knew something regarding his friends situation, at least his actual cause of death. If he knew it wasn't just he died in his sleep as they were saying and they got a couple thousand out of fans to bury a man with ten counts of sexual misconduct towards a minor who couldn't face the music then he is accountable for that.
It's possible he was played just like us. But you can't be that close to someone and they actually get charged and no one knows about it. He went full private investigator to expose Vada Fly. An arrest involving child porn can't be hidden like that. And I'm basing that off of a child porn incident happening in my small hometown with a former teacher that was reported throughout the state.

That said, it's not a good look for Champion or Jayblac regardless. It's gonna be weird for a while, but I'm looking forward to involved parties making blogs about this.
It's a real damn shame for the whole damn battle rap community. I can already hear the Tech 9 bars in future battles coming.
Damn, they acted with the quickness on this, wow.Shit is crazy! Dont even know what to say!
And yes...Jakk did get a Tech 9 Tattoo on his neck smh! To be fair, he did it before he knew about the charges etc but wow....may as well quit battle rap now or cover that shit up asap!
Also, URL have pulled most of the Tech 9 battles from their channels which speaks volumes...
And at Born Legacy 6, Mike P apparently had a 3rd Round dedicated to Tech...yikes...
Very shady too with the Gofundme etc....He was reported to have died in his sleep but now peeps are saying he was found outside! I'm sure more will come to light in the coming days.
Just a terrible situation all round tbh...

Blac firing on all cylinders. He's not wrong, people are thirsty for the conspiracy theories.
People tryna put people's heads on a stake out of ignorance AND while those people are grieving. If people like Battletruth are tryna come up off of Jayblac's name in this crazy time, they should be ashamed. And I've no doubt that's what they're trying to do. The Vada Flys of the world that have no internal ethic. Same reason why I stopped watching Angryfan a year or so ago. Just shitstarters who are looking for controversy or creating it to get views. I like how Blac doesn't give them dignity by naming them either.
Ain't just you, everyone, including me on the previous page, was speculating as to whether Blac knew. That's the question on everyone's minds when something shocking like this happens. That's different from dragging, though, which is what I presume the haters on Twitter are doing and what Blac is reacting to; jumping to conclusions without doing the due diligence or speculating as to why someone wouldn't clear their own name while they're grieving. The Internet moves too fast for that.Right and sadly I feel bad for dragging the man as well. Not dragging but expecting more than what was the reality, he knew a personality not the man. He's strong for coming out and saying something. He didn't have to but he did. Now someone should get battle goof the fuck out of here
This battle is super fire! 2-1 either way, I think I edge A Ward though. FIRE!
It was, but i've heard too many of Charron's bars elsewhere. Lessened the impact of some of his material to me.Fiiiiiiiiiire battle. I feel like every round, A. Ward spit and I was like GODDAMN he's got this round in the bag, and Charron just did more, except in the third, or maybe it's just recency bias. 2-1 Charron for me. Goddamn there are some crazy religion bars in this.
That separate men from the boys bar is HARD
RBE: Brizz Rawsteen vs. Loso.
This is one of the biggest bodybags in years. This is BAD for Loso. If we all didn't know Loso could do better, this'd be a career ender. Even still, I still think this is going to hurt his stock. He walked into Chef Trez and Brizz back-to-back for some of their wildest performances.
That man said The Bible's a classic.. but it's no Illmatic
Early bar of the year contender
EDIT: I've watched this like 6 times now and it gets uglier every single time. I know there's gas, but it's well deserved. Brizz went Super Saiyan.
I just haven't had a chance to watch anything recently. Geechi and Rum was fire though, writing definitely on point. Gotta get around to these Charron battles.I just got home, it's been a great few weeks for battlerap, was sad the thread died....again. Anyways, i'm trying to catch up on what I an.
Cass dying...crowd booing and calling time....shouting 3-0....all of this was obvious from the beginning...i'm dying laughing though.Cassidy started off okay, but man, he couldn't keep it up. You can tell he's new to this shit, he started getting mad at the crowd when he started spitting cheesy bar after cheesy bar. I still edge him in the first but Goodz with a clear 2-1 or 3-0 depending on what you prefered in the first round IMO.

NOME 9 Full Card:
Loaded Lux vs. Aye Verb
Tsu Surf vs. Geechi Gotti
John John Da Don vs. Jakkboy Maine
Shotgun Suge vs. Pat Stay
Ave vs. Arsonal
K-Shine vs. Rum Nitty
Goddamn this has to be the highest budget for a card ever.
Predictions? I got Lux 2-1, Geechi Gotti 3-0, John John Da Don 3-0, Pat Stay 2-1 (debatable), Arsonal 2-1, and Nitty 2-1 (debatable).
RBE: Ill Will vs. Scotty.
I enjoyed this, nothing too crazy but entertaining. Debatable either way for me, maybe edging 2-1 to Will.
I had Bill 2-1. Material wise, probably some of Hitman's best written rounds though. Bill's first two rounds, had way more substance for me.Caught Hitman Holla vs. Bill Collector.
Clean 3-0 for Hitman IMO. Bill was entertaining, but inconsistent overall. Bill is a unique voice in battle rap but sometimes I'm like wtf is this random shit he's talking about now. Good battle, waaaaaay better than Hitman vs. Suge was, somehow. Hitman was wildin in the third, no way Bill could've come back from that.
Yup yupAyyy! Are you from Detroit?
Can never imagine when/where I'd run into a battle rapper lol
Something I touched on real briefly above but wanna ask you directly. Youtube has honestly played such a huge part in battlerap growing as a culture (and URL by extension). Do you think URL is going to lose any clout competing with other leagues, that are dropping content regularly on YT, when URL content is confined to an app for the most part?

The talent is obviously the most important part, if the app confines the ability of new people to get seen, and the leagues are able to book matchups people want to see, I feel like most are just going to go elsewhere, while it's free. Things are quiet now, because URL is having a major event...but once the next KOTD and RBE events happen and they start dropping battles, it's gonna look real quiet and sparse over on the URL side.
Then they drop this.....
Lux/Verb starting 2nd round now.I just got home, I caught recaps of Jakk/JJ and Pat/Suge...what's happening yall!
