@@justadrum You must not really be a part of the culture because they didn’t make it and they will tell you that BattleRap was way before there was a smack & arp They added to the culture
@@Utriedit215 I tried to ignore buddy earlier but both of y'all some boot lickin bootleggers 😂 Yes, BR existed before both Smack and ARP but what that got to do with what they've contributed? And why we on our knees cause we showing appreciation or respect? You know how many BR rappers they fed well? I swear this culture full of nobodies who wanna be somebodies so they say a bunch of nothing for attention 😂 Have at it my guys...I even liked both of your comments - for this dumb ahh culture.
Ppl going to fuck with bootleg because paying 60 bucks for an event to watch half the card choke or not even show up, mike problems, battlers showing up late
tbh I don't think bootlegs of major businesses, like an HBO or Paramount, hurt their bottom line too much - Game of Thrones used the fact that it was the most pirated show as a selling point, and companies that ran TV shows from even 10 years ago, like House, deliberately permit people to throw up basically the full show on TikTok because it renews and drives interest in the show that gets some people to go back through the normal channels and watch them It's completely different in a space like br, where all companies are small and even 20-30 people opting to watch a bootleg over paying significantly cuts into the bottom line. It also muddies the waters when people are intentionally not buying a PPV because they don't like the card, since viewers on the bootleg looks more like people like the card and just didn't wanna pay. Companies at this size are forced to listen when people make statements with their wallets, but that only works when it's clear that's happening. Doesn't benefit the leagues or the fans to bootleg, esp when all but one league eventually pushes all their battles to yt for free anyway
I always call myself the one man boycott. If I see someone treated wrongly, I’m out on the product or service on principle. I was shocked to see the opposite of that stance in that situation
I agree with all your points but when it comes to Bootlegging, it something that’s always going to be associated with entertainment. People are always going to find a way to get things, I understand that if you like something you should support it to get more but some people don’t care and just steal. I used to buy DVD’s at the local Chinese spot, I used to torrent terabytes of movies and shows back in 2012, not saying what I did was right but once you get used to that lifestyle it’s hard to stop.
ARP is truly a rare breed, one of the last of an almost extinct breed- not dying, but damn near extinct. I’ve always rocked with ARP since his days of investing with Star.. I knew he was solid, especially when that didn’t pan out- ARP used my comment when I went by Shred Fox during the debacle with Star. He probably won’t recall that, but I never forgot it.. solid individual, stand up guy.
I started out buying PPVs to "support the culture", but when it started feeling like leagues were stealing is when I stopped. Knowing a battle isn't happening but staying silent about it until hours into a PPV, or waiting until the battle is about to start before telling everyone that it's a 1 rounder? I was like I will never buy a ticket to an event, that's crazy,.
Back in the Napster/Limewire/Kazaa days I had so many movies and albums pirated the FBI emailed me on a private email threatening to arrest me if I didnt delete everything. At the time I was like 13-14 living with my parents I was so scared I reinstalled windows wiping my pc clean and never pirated again until fire sticks.
Respect a business that respect you. Other that then as you said. How can I feel sorry when a company or directors all evil behind the scenes. I’m just watching everybody crying wolf for my energy
I cant say i havent used the stick for a ppv fight like boxing and mma before. But ive never bootlegged a battle event at all. I always supported the sport. Because its still on the come up and getting more world wide known. Either way ARP and RBE is taking over fr. And they deserve it. He always makes great battles. And releases them on youtube fast asf. Unlike smack who holds battles for 20 yrs lol. And im glad people seeing that url is on bs.
Jon Jon has a history of trying to steal from fans remember that card that was all one rounders that we were not made aware of? Nothing on the flyer said it was all 1 rounders
Since we on the the topic… the last 2 Bootlegs I watched came from somebody named “Rarebreed Puppies” and even though we know it’s not ARP…. It still looks like you are personally involved some way!! And I think that a terrible look… to have bootleggers using your brand name!
the way i look at it yall was never gonna get the money that was bootleg. anyone that watching the bootleg wasnt gonna pay for the ppv. for example (you host a ppv for $100 and only 10 people watch it nobody else is willing to pay the $100. and one of those 10 people record IT AND SELL it for $5 to 20 people.) you didnt lose those 20 people $100 . they wasnt going to buy it. that extra $2000 wasnt going your way at all. you made your money with the 10 people. that extra 20 people $2000 isnt real customers becuase your price was out their range they was too broke for the $100 ppv. and also you spoke about rebuying an actual album you like to support because you thought it was a good album did you do the same for the trash bootleg album hell no. the reason why "Surf vs Hitman" is almost 10 million views is due to replay ability that the people love it to the point it can be rewatch over and over again. thr problem is the fans lost faith in the battles ability to perfom and produce and it not worth sacrificing the time or money to watch if you dont have it like that. and if you do have the money battles are making it easy for people to save they money. If a battle is great, classic,or whatever buzzword people will go and rewatch the offical youtube when it drop not look for the bootleg. the same went for the movies back in the day if the movie was that good on bootleg yea it got rewatch on tv mtv, usa, starz, hbo , max. in a perfect world if bootleg dont exist then the people who dont have wont watch til its free on youtube. the people who have it but dont wanna pay it gonna do the same and wait. and at that point you better hope the battle is good enough for more than 1 watch. a smart person can also wait til the end of the year pay $8 for the url app for 1 month and now they can watch a whole year of battles for $8. EITHER WAY URL AINT GETTING THE WHOLE PIE EITHER or you tell me 100 of battles on the URL APP is worth $8 for just a one time payment for 1 month.
Lmao he so bitter. How does someone say they're a pillar of a community and not holding up shit? The fans gotta change the culture?? You forgot to pin the donkey tail on yourself. Smh.

I swear if there was anybody input I was looking forward too on this topic it’s ARPs
Him and Smack have carte blanche to speak their minds concerning the culture. They made the culture 💯🙏🏿

@@icejones338 It was an empty threat they emailed alot of people back then if you had alot of downloads
@@icejones338 But yea the fbi is who you deal with for bootlegging
It took years for the laws to pass so in the meantime they tried to scare the people with alot of pirated content.

Checks and balances
Jon Jon has a history of trying to steal from fans remember that card that was all one rounders that we were not made aware of? Nothing on the flyer said it was all 1 rounders
Calling that a history like it wasn't only one time is egregious, exaggerated and borderline feminine.
