SMACK/URL battles on BET with Bow Wow

WATCH ULTIMATE FREESTYLE FRIDAY LIVE ON TELEVISION EVERY FRIDAY FOR THE NEXT SIX WEEKS AND SUPPORT THE CULTURE: HIGHER RATINGS MEANS THE EXECS WILL POTENTIALLY COMMISSION MORE SHOWS.

The first battle dropped last night on 106; Ill Will vs Danja Zone. They're running a tourney for Ultimate Freestyle Friday, last man standing joint, every Friday. Next weeks is Real Deal vs Young Kannon; although these are decent battlers I'm hoping for one or two of the bigger names from URL to make a firmer impression on the audience at home and let them know what it's really about (Ayeverb, Hitman, Surf, Hollow, Conceited etc). Showcase the best to really capture the audience.

EDIT: I see they've got actually cypher sessions featuring some of the above names in each episode.

SMACK and Bow Wow hosting. Personally I didn't think it was a great first battle to drop but it wasn't terrible.

Also, it's the fire time URL/Smack battles are being officially judged (corny as fuck on crowd reaction but judged nonetheless).

Just read the battlers in the 8 man tourney:

Ill Will (progressed)
Danja Zone (defeated)
Tone Montana
Real Deal
Lottazay
M Ciddy
Sco
Young Kannon

A pretty tight line up but no BIG URL names. I'm wondering if they're maybe waiting to see how it takes off before they jump into it. Or saving the bigger names for a bigger televised event after the initial tourney.
