Spektikul 10-19-06 01:27 AM

marvellous......................

Spektikul 10-19-06 01:52 AM

Anyone else find it odd that R.Christensen and Possible rhymed the same words in their bars this week?????? :huh:

Diet Coke 10-19-06 02:03 AM

^ Pfff... stop bitchin' fellas, you're just jealous.

Spektikul 10-19-06 02:04 AM

They both rhymed those words...I really am jelous, I wanna use those in my bars this week too fellas!

P.S. I heard those words in an Eminem tune.

BLAHHHHH!

grams 10-19-06 02:23 AM

Grams - Grams is the shit for the reason alone that he goes to Indiana University, the best college in the United States. He hasn't been texting that long, but can drop some cool punchlines. He just needs to up his creativity a bit and come more consistent. If he can do that, he should do well.


^^^exactly........Ohio State is going down bitches.

HA! he prolly didn't even write his lines back then...

http://community.rapverse.com/showthread.php?t=220258

^only ONE of the MANY times he's had that happen. left for like half a yr and changed his name hopin' nobody would remember. ANK!!!!!

DaTrusHurtz 10-19-06 11:33 AM

lol, looks like everyone has easy personals on him for the rest of the season

I see Chrit left... oh well, that sucks, but I'm not changing the rules for just 1 person.

R.Christensen 10-19-06 12:39 PM

Well my votes are explained just fine without some cheesy ass line by line shit...


you can just edit in lol or nah for me and the lines to coincide with my vote

Cocaine 10-19-06 12:45 PM

SPuL who are u to say anything about ghostwriters biting or cheating bruvvah.. voting for yourself?? biting joke sites??? come on man.. you've been banned numberous times.. i havent been banned once..

Pro. 10-19-06 01:41 PM

ha good mag...seems very sporty like...coo.

an..

Nat Turner - Nat Turner, or better known as Vlad on RB, is a decent text head. He still has a lot of elevating to do, but he seems to keep improving over time. He also seems very dedicated to elevating so watch out for him as the season goes on.
^lol

yea,I was horibbly known as coldsteel here also..Ive champ'd..nadda..ha.

yea an watch for me..Ill knock ur ass out!PLOW!!

N.Tavarez 10-19-06 02:04 PM

Im going to eat a can of cold beans and guzzle a gallon of spoiled mik and SHIT on you hoes this season.....
btw that voting councils a good idea

fuck yuu 10-19-06 02:17 PM

Voting council would make it less active... and people would probably not like it... IMO

I've only been banned once for fuckin' around with that alias (showstopper), never bit (otherwise I'd be banned for that, which I'm not.) So i don't see what you'rte talkin' about. YOU on the otherhand rep like you've accomplished shit, when the only time you did do shit it was either Ike or Mimesis. and why would you get banned for that? All it does it shows how much confidence you have in your skill, which obviously wasn't a lot. And i don't blame you, cuz you suck unless mim or ike wrote shit for you. period

First off, I want to say that I am very excited about this season. Last season went well, but this is the season I really want to get this league on the map. With some very dope additions to the league, I'm hoping to accomplish just that this season. With that, I'm soon gonna kick it off about what to look forward to this season, but first...

Season 1 Finals:
As you all may have seen, the voting is extremely close between Artistik and Spul for the title of season 1. If you have yet to drop a vote, drop a vote! I am going to leave this battle open an extra week so a winner can be more clearly decided.

Season 2 League Changes:
This league will run very similarly to last season. Everyone who hasn't read the rules should do so, because as everyone I think learned from last season, I'm a mod who actually enforces rules. Now, one dope change we've added this season is some dollas. Untold has generously offered to shell out $50 to this season's champion. This isn't some empty promise, if you champ this league, you will win money. Hell, you can tell your friends you've won money from texting.

Now, there is one other change I am considering making this season, but I am seeking your opinions. I am considering implementing a voting panel of roughly 7 people this season. With each battle only being a total of 4 bars, voting does not take long, and I can imagine that there would be 7 people who would be willing to do this voting. Of course, only unbiased and veteran heads would be invited to be on this voting panel. However, do you all think this is a good idea? Why or why not? I'm hoping to come to a decision on this issue in the next few days.

If you have any other ideas for the league, feel free to suggest things! I'm open to anything crazy if I think it will make the league better. I'm even considering having a themed week later in the season. Really, any ideas are cool.

Recruiting
Speaking of making the league better, and I know this isn't really related to a season preview, but if you could all recruit your friends, I would appreciate it. Seriously, if many of you can just bring 1 new head to this league, you've helped out a lot. Of course, only invite good text heads, I don't want garbage in this league. Poor quality heads only ruin voting and make people not take the league as seriously. With that said, though, lets get some more people in here! We got 28 signins right now, I'm shooting for 36 by Week 1, but more if we get it.

Who's Back
This roster of heads shows many familiar faces from last season. Here's a listing of everyone who was in last season who has returned.

N. Tavarez - After a great regular season where he only had 1 loss, N. Tavarez suffered a tough loss to Spul in the final 4 where he lost in a 2-1 vote. As a former 1-2 punchline champion, his talent and fire should make him a threat for this season.
Spul - Spul suffered a few regular season losses last season which knocked him down to a lowly 8 seed in the playoffs, but he had a great playoff run which landed him in the title. The title is still undecided, but Spul might possibly be trying to defend a title this season.
Daubs - Daubs suffered 2 losses in the regular season last season, but both were due to being out of town and not showing. Therefore, Daubs only really lost 1 battle last season, in the playoffs. He's been around for awhile and is obviously a threat and someone to look out for.
Untold - Untold never dropped quite as dope as some of the top competition in the league last season, but he certainly has the ability to as he has shown in the LBL and other leagues around the net. With him being the supplier of money this season, it is sure he will compete his hardest so he only has to pay himself for being the champion.
L.I. - L.I. was very quiet last season, but as a member of the RV legends section and numerous accomplishments, not to mention being a mod of this league, he can certainly be a threat when motivated by good competition. Do not take him lightly.
DaTrusHurtz - I was knocked out of the playoffs early, but after going undefeated in the regular season and winning the last 4 LBL champ matches, I'm writing as well as I ever have. Last season I was slightly unmotivated by many of the punchlines dropped against me, I would like you all to bring me your best stuff.
Wordz Ahgod - Wordz Ahgod was having a nice season last season, but decided to signout near the end when he wasn't having as much fun texting, but he has returned this season. He still needs some work, but he has elevated pretty quickly to the point that he is at right now.
D. Stroyer - D. Stroyer disappeared last season, but he has returned for this one and once again seems to be active on the site. He's not as polished as some of the other dope heads here and needs work on his concepts, but a decent battler who will win some battles in this league.
Tony Brown - Tony Brown started texting about the same time that I did. He has always been a decent head, but he has never really quite reached that next level. He finished a respectable 4-3 here last season, and he will be looking to improve on that this season.
Cocaine - Cocaine at one point champed the old PLL here, but hasn't really elevated since that time while others have. He can come really nice sometimes, just needs to work on coming less played and more consistent with his punchlines.
~Luciano~ - Luciano has been texting for awhile, but has never really elevated due to his commitment to audio. He's a dedicated head to the league, but he will need to come more creative and word his punchlines better if he wants to make the playoffs this season.

Who's New
There are some new heads in the league who are poised to cause some damage and shake things up. Here's everyone who is new to the league.

Roger Glocks - Roger Glocks has not yet really won anything on the RV scene, but he has a battle in legends and for the second time has reached the title match in the LBL. His drops are very consistent week in and week out and he is surely a threat for the title.
R. Christensen - R. Christensen, or better known as Chrit, is surely one of the cockiest members of the league. However, he is also one of the most talented. As a former champion of the RB 1-2 punchline league, he is a definate threat to champion this league as well
Jo$hua - Jo$hua is one of the only league members that I am not very familiar with. However, I assure you he is not new, he has an alias which is very established. How dope he can come is unknown, but he will surprise many of you if you do not take him seriously.
Red Bull - When I think of RV, Red Bull is one of the people I think of. He is new to the 1-2-1 league, but not new to RV or battling at all. He is in the HOF, has 2 battles in the LBL legends section, and has accomplished just about anything else you can think of on this site. A 1-2-1 title is very possible.
Oneduh - Oneduh is an RM legend. If you have ever peeped any of his stuff, you should go check it out, he's been dope for a long time. He's come to this league for 1 reason. He's very confident the $50 will be his. There's definately a good chance that it will be if he takes this league seriously.
Undermine - Undermine, or better known as Spitacular, the RB legend, has also joined up for one reason, he believes the $50 will be his. Controversy sometimes surrounds him, but no one argues his talent. Definately one of the people to look out for this season.
Grams - Grams is the shit for the reason alone that he goes to Indiana University, the best college in the United States. He hasn't been texting that long, but can drop some cool punchlines. He just needs to up his creativity a bit and come more consistent. If he can do that, he should do well.
Te Ora - Te Ora is new to the league, but he has been battling in the LBL for the last month. I still haven't figured out his alias from another site, but he has dropped quite nicely in the LBL. He could definately sneak up on some people here.
Possible - Possible, or better known as Trepidation, the LLL mag writer from RB, has come to the RV punchline scene. I haven't seen him drop in awhile, so how he will come is a mystery to me. Fun side note, when we were both newbies a few years ago, I KO'd him. (Sorry, had to bring that up)
Nat Turner - Nat Turner, or better known as Vlad on RB, is a decent text head. He still has a lot of elevating to do, but he seems to keep improving over time. He also seems very dedicated to elevating so watch out for him as the season goes on.
Lord of Pens - Lord of Pens is one of the newer heads here when it comes to texting. He still has a lot of elevating to do, but he has started making a name for himself in the RB punchline league. We will see how he fares here against tougher competition.
Flagrant - Flagrant, or better known as Renegade, is a former LLL head on RB. He was elevating extremely quickly, but then disappeared for a bit. He's back, he will likely be rusty at first, but this guy has a lot of potential if he keeps working on his game.
PicturePerfect - PicturePerfect is hardly new to the RV scene, or even to the punchline league here, but he wasn't in this last season so I'm putting him in the new section. He's not quite a title contendor or anything, but likely will make the playoffs and can definately beat some dope heads if they don't try against him.
Spektikul - Spektikul is in the same boat as PicturePerfect. He hasn't been around for awhile, though, so he will surely be rusty at first. He used to drop some cool punchlines around here, though, so look out for him as the season goes on.
Ab0ve - Ab0ve is a younger text head who still needs a lot of elevation. Hopefully he takes this league seriously and tries his best. He will need to if he wants to beat some of the tougher heads around here.

Don't Get Cocky
These people made the playoffs last season, but will need to step up their game if they wish to make the playoffs again.

Ken' Pho - Ken' Pho enjoyed a nice regular season going 5-2, but this record might have been more attributed to luck than to skill with 4 of his wins coming from no-show. It is not likely Ken' will receive as many no-show wins this season so he will need to come prepared for battled.
Lampejo - Lampejo is a former mod of this site and is very familiar with 1-2 leagues. However, he finished only 4-3 last season and barely slipped into the playoffs. To reach the playoffs again, he will definately need to step up his game.

Pre-Season Power Rankings
There are a lot of dope heads in this league and its very hard to rank them. Ranks 3-8 are pretty much interchangable, but these are some initial rankings.

10. Untold - Untold just gained his first major accomplishment in winning the HW title in LLL, albeit against a wattered down league. This season might be the one he grows on his accomplishments.
9. Daubs - Daubs has always been a great battler at RV, but has never quite distinguished himself and risen above the rest. Maybe this will be the season he accomplishes this.
8. Red Bull - Red Bull hasn't written much lately, but he's still just as talented as he always was. The fact he hasn't battled much lately is pretty much the only reason he's this low.
7. R. Christensen - Chrit has champ'd the 1-2 league at RB. Will need to drop nicer than he did in the preseason to champ this league, but definately is a contender.
6. N. Tavarez - N. Tav is a former 1-2 champion on RV. Him champing the 1-2-1 here is not out of the question.
5. DaTrusHurtz - I hate ranking myself, but this seems about right. I plan on taking this season much more serious than the last given the tougher competition so you can be sure I will be coming dope.
4. Spul - It looks as if there is a decent chance that Spul will become the first 1-2-1 season champion. His playoff run has proved he will be one of the ones to beat this season.
3. Roger Glocks - With his recent suggest on this site and on BragginWrites, he could definately be the next big thing to come out in the world of text.
2. Undermine - Spit has accomplished everything there is to accomplish at RB. An RV 1-2-1 title is not out of the question. Definately one of the top runners in the league.
1. Oneduh - Oneduh is currently 17-0 in the RBL at RM. He has had many legendary battles, and will be extremely hard to beat if he takes this league seriously.

I Predict:
These are some of my predictions for this season. If you don't like them, prove me wrong.

I predict...RV heads will have to deal with D/R accusations throughout the season

I predict...I will struggle to convince Chrit to follow the bar by bar voting rules

I predict...Wordz Ahgod will signout at some point to concentrate on audio

I predict...No one will go undefeated this season

I predict...Everyone will find these predictions very boring

I predict...Everyone who finds these predictions boring will get massacred in the league by me

Conclusion:
I've pretty much said everything I wanted to say. There are a lot of talented heads in this league, many of which weren't even mentioned in this mag. I'm expecting some dope drops this season. Everyone please do as much to help with recruiting, voting, and helping this season run smoothly. It should be a good one. Pzz

you stole my pzz saying at the end... you bastard

Flagrant 10-19-06 02:58 PM

Dope mag brah..

Keep it up the league looks fresh ass hell

Diet Coke 10-19-06 06:23 PM

DaTrusHurtz 10-19-06 06:44 PM

Possible 10-19-06 06:47 PM

DaTrusHurtz 10-19-06 07:22 PM

not allowing an extension during preseason would be the gayest thing ever lol

That was funny what u did to Spek

Untold 10-19-06 07:49 PM

yea.. spek-test-ikals is a fool.

but wtf @ not lettin an extension.. like u said, it's preseason.

what would it matter.. just let it stay since it won't count for or against.

also, it'd be fun to see how the voters react. and really, i don't think red bull would care.

it's mutha fuckin pre-season. aside from that, peep the music i was talkin bout.

Te Ora 10-20-06 05:16 AM

if wordz aghod no shows, do i have to drop a second bar or will i jus win by default?

^ that was original, never heard that one before.... :shoot: :shoot:

DaTrusHurtz 10-21-06 03:38 AM

Te Ora, the rule is if they don't drop, u don't have to, but you should just cuz its only another bar and if they show late, it allows the battle to just go on.

J. Luth 10-21-06 08:49 AM

word sonsssssssssssss

Wordz AhGod 10-22-06 11:31 AM

bwahahahah

I'll do my best to show DTH. I aint in the Audio league no more but your probably right though.lol

R.Christensen 10-22-06 08:52 PM

I still say, let me vote how I want

you can fucking edit in "lol" "nah" and "coo" based on what I say

line by line voting is a waste of my time

DaTrusHurtz 10-23-06 11:25 AM

I can't make an exception for one member. I will then be questioned to do the same for others. Argue all you want, but look at the voting here and look at the voting at RB's 1-2 league. Here, everything is explained, there, its all 1 liners. Thats what happens when you don't make set rules about voting. If you are willing to do this, let me know.

R.Christensen 10-23-06 11:55 AM

fine... I'll vote my way...

and then just copy the punches in there and put "lol" or "nah" randomly to be like half of these idiots...

DaTrusHurtz 10-23-06 12:19 PM

nah, if your not really going to vote the real way and just appear to don't bother

v/blah

a:
such and such concept is way overdone, other punches wording was off...

b: came better.. fresher concepts...

N.Tavarez 10-23-06 02:27 PM

thats true^
it should just be a good vote and leave it at that

DaTrusHurtz 10-23-06 02:29 PM

actually, almost everyone breaks it down bar by bar with real explanations. The few people that do as you just explained will be warned when I review their voting patterns.

You don't need much feedback per line... I prefer a lot, but if you just say "lol, cool wordplay" or "nah, kinda played", thats sufficient.. can you handle that?

DaTrusHurtz 10-23-06 02:31 PM

And I think ur missing the point. I have implemented this bar by bar method just to standardize good voting. Yes, its very possible to leave a good vote without doing it bar by bar. But then, who's to say whats a good vote and what isn't? I'm sure in your years you've seen many votes which are pretty questionable... maybe somewhat explained, but not really.

With the way it is now, everyones votes can't really be called into question. If you broke it down bar by bar, you should have explained your vote well.

R.Christensen 10-23-06 02:49 PM

I just refuse to have my voting questioned when I see horrible voting in here.

The way I vote shows a clear winner and usually involves feedback on each punch... I just refuse to format it in the way that so many people use when leaving shitty votes.
