Detour VS Dizaster

but even for kotd...THEY DO PAY PER VIEW BRO...

it's impossible for kotd to survive without pay per view...I think doing pay per view events an then later releasing the battles for free is the way to go, same way UFC does it with pay per view an spike tv...

but a kotd event cost easily well over 25K to throw an realistically over 30K...u got fifteen battles an u payin 20K in performance fees alone if not more, plus travel hotels venue fees etc...they couldn't do it without charging viewers WHICH THEY DO...

as I said before I am NOT down with what rapbattlenetwork did at all, my point is that for gow to say he be damned if he ever pays to watch a battle emcee is not only selfish but it belittles what we do...like "Oh I'd pay to wath a musician or a mma fighter ur I ain't givin up no money for battle rappers y'all ain't worth it"...that's INSULTING bro...

an I've had convos with him before where he pretty much told me that rappers shouldn't get paid an should be content to do it for the love of hip hop...so my response is also taking into account these prior convos...

people constantly belittle the worth of battle emcees an make comments about how we just battle or they'll never pay to watch us or this that an the other..:like cuz it's a battle it makes u worth less even tho u put just as much time an effort in...
