URL's Beasley Responds To Loaded Lux's "Bout My Money"
URL responded to the song with a statement to HipHopDX yesterday (August 27), explaining their stance on the track.
"We thought it was dope and creative," Beasley said regarding the Loaded Lux song. "I think SMACK's blog is the equivalent to the effect of Kendrick Lamar's verse on 'Control.' We got guys showing up to battles prepared now, emcees making diss tracks and blogs. Lux is a super talent, but he is asking for a tremendous amount of money to battle that just isn't available in the culture at the present time. I can't put a price on his talent, but as business I have to do what's economically sound for URL and a battle between him and Hollow Da Don is more then we are willing and able to pay at the present time.
"Lux is smart and he's getting the fans pumped up," Beasley continued. "In a lot of ways we are viewed like a record label and he is playing the role of the disgruntled artist. The fans are looking at us like, 'Just pay him,' and we're like, 'From where?' All jokes aside, we have a plan in place to make this happen and Lux and Hollow want it to happen on URL as well, so stay tuned to URL's rebuttal to Lux's track. I promise you. It's going to shake the game up."

They're gonna charge us 200 for a ticket and I guarantee they drop a blog this week asking for donations to fund this battle. Either that or they booked a serious sponsor.
