I know how debating works. I've done it before, several times. I just wasn't interested in caring out a pointless debate over this when I've already done it over and over and over to the point where it gets tiring.

Yes, you're right, the only connection between TMNT and the Artists is their names. Yes, the TMNT are a team, and it'd make sense for them to rap all together. And I absolutely agree, the Artists should not rap together at all. On the same side, yes, but each should get their own verse. That's why I prefer the idea of TMNT rapping as a team while each artist comes in and disses them or it starts out with Leonardo vs Leonardo and each turtle and artist comes in to diss one another. The TMNT DOES have enough material for each turtle to be unique on their own, remember that. They've gone through several different incarnations and generations that there will certainly be enough material for them not to reuse jokes per verse. And for the record, the TMNT and the Renaissance Artists do have a slight historical connection in that by being named after the Artists, it helped making the Artists more popular and recognizable. Yes, Da Vinci and Michelangelo were already incredibly famous on their own, but Raphael was barely that memorable and I doubt Donatello was very memorable at all. If the TMNT hadn't been named after them, I'm sure only Da Vinci and Michelangelo would get in, maybe Raphael, but I doubt it. It allows the use of Donatello and helps bring in less recognizable but still very influential figures. While that's not an incredibly powerful connection, it's still something to take into consideration. And yes, ERB expressing interest in the suggestion of TMNT vs Artists IS important, as while they may not always do suggestions they show interest in, they tend to definitely use characters in general that they show interest in, and quite specifically this comment:



shows that Peter is VERY interested in using the TMNT in a battle. As well, they have said before that they had TMNT vs Artists planned.



While it doesn't mean too much, it's still something to heavily take into consideration.
