Would anyone be interested...
 

In participating in a weekly battle hosted in the Lyricist Lounge?

It could be text, audio or topical.........No graphics bullshit..

The way it would work, is we would start off with 2 battlers who I will choose based on who I think is actually worth the time of day to have a battle thread stickied in the lounge. And after votes are polled and a winner is decided, each week a new challenger can step up and battle last weeks winner..

Competitions would be done in say, 3 or 4 week segments consisting of around 3 or 4 battles, naturally.... At the end of each competition; new contestants would be chosen to take part.

Possible prizes for now are RV money unless someone wants to fund the shit.. But the emphasis isnt on prizes, its on friendly competition and hopefully elevation.. If theres enough interest and two battlers who I actually think would put on a good show step up to participate. Then this will begin next week.

I would prefer audio battles by far, so if two 'good' (and i actually mean good, not 'i bought a mic a month ago and I think i'm really elevating good) battlers step up, then this will get really interesting.. But at the end of the day, if only text cats are signing up, then thatll be how it goes...

I'm only interested in people who actually have talent to participate in these battles cause nobody wants to vote on crap each week.. But this is a chance to show that your worth a damn in one of the more active forums on the site.

So if you think you got what it takes...
Post clearly stating you want in, and post a link to your soundclick (IN YOUR POST, NOT YOUR SIG), or if your text, post one of your verses (NO LINKS, I'm lazy and wont click text links).

Edit: Also post whether you want to do a 'song battle' or a 'diss battle' for audio cats.
And I'll say again, SOUNDCLICK LINKS MUST BE IN YOUR POST.

And you will be considered..

hmmm...can we "battle" by simply making songs..or does this have to be diss battling...

no one ever does TOpical audio battles

Yeah definatly.. If a few people want to battle that way, by all means..

I think that'd bring an interesting twist on things..

im down for this.....

^I told you how your supposed to post an entry...
Soundclick link...

And post whether you want to do a song battle like Q said, or a diss battle..

im down for audio and/or text... links for text and s/click are in my sig

lmao @ people not listening to what nos said... -_-

Good idea but.

good idea...won't participate yet coz my home computers fucked...but it would bring even more activity to LL though

however...leagues & tourneys are normally inactive...this might happen here too

But it wouldnt be inactive because in theory, it would be desired. One battle a week, people would want to be in it to show off their skills and shit.

Its wierd though... having to put all this stuff in LL cos its the most active place -_- ...

Word... Peoples lack of intelligence on this site scares me..

Anyone who doesent leave a soundclick link IN THEIR POST also detailing whether they want to do a diss battle or a track battle wont even be considered.

If they cant read properly....Fuck em.

ermm, yea i ain't audio.....wateva

but if any text shit happens,

well here's a verse....

====================================

Yea check it, before I rip ya allow me to stop and cough..
Now let’s ‘get right down to it’,
…………………wait kid! I didn’t mean suck me off..
This bitch ain’t a young blaze, he lacks that fiery component
Cuz my rhymes ‘rain down on him’,
………………………………SHIT! Now I’ve got no opponent!!
“Young Blaze gone burn-out!” yea, I’ll diss ya with verbal expressions
Nah! I’m just “forcing wordplay” like Young Blaze impressions
So kid ure dope are ya, I mean you are rookie of the year
But I’ll still ‘knock chips in ya shit’ like ‘shoving cookies up ya rear’
Blaze is confident to win, so ya know he’ll brush the dirt off
Cuz he’s beaten a stack of MC’s, that nobodies heard of
I thank Blaze for shop assistance, he helped me stack up a pile
I said “I’m shopping for herbs” He replied “check the east aisle.” (e-style)
I’ll break down Blaze’s fences, but he can protest all he likes
Cuz I’ll ‘fire up this match’ and still leave Blaze ‘on-strike’
Yea, Blaze is like ‘first morning meals’, he’s quick to ‘break-fast’
Cuz he ain’t dope, that’s why he had to ask how to go up a weight class *
Ya got no hopes to win, even ya sig shows ya style is faded
I cud ‘push all ya top level buttons’, you still wudn’t be elevated
I’m givin Blaze a quick loss, I don’t care if he’s got his rec hyped
I’ll keep this ‘short and simple’ and I ain’t talking bout his sex life
This is a losing battle, this kids like potheads outside the store
I try to confiscate his wackness, and he just blazes up some more
I beat the aged, and y’all know that Blaze is past his time
So I’ll have him ‘fallin back’ and I don’t mean his ‘receding hairline’
Dude’s a failed emcee, cuz when it comes down to the crunch
How’s blaze gone ‘son kids’ when he can’t even ‘adopt a decent punch’
I tell Blaze he's gone lose cuz I'm a straight 'rape his chance'
Then instead of dropping punches, Blaze went and dropped his pants
Dude’s got a ‘limp rep’ and yo, I’m talking about Blaze’s top sex
Cuz I’ll leave him ‘dead in the sack’ and it’d be considered progress

Sorry Vera, your cool n everythin but...

a topical audio battle? and your dissing text? LOL...Ok girl, have fun with that, yo..

how can this help with elevation if nos only wants to choose battlers who he believes are worth seeing a battle thread from....its like the battlers have to be good already before they get an opportunity to elevate........its the same principal as the rich getting richer while the poor struggle
is there contradiction in his idea or is it just me?

Listening to better people's tracks and picking up on their techniques is a way to elevate. Look.. I dont know what kind of simple idealistic approach you take on rap, but in the real world; some people have it.. And some dont.

I will be choosing people who I think have potential and who will be able to put on a good show. I WONT be choosing people who I think are garbage and probably dont have the talent to elevate to a professional level anyway. That would be pointless.

This is about fun, not about giving wack kids that cant rap a chance to prove this to everyone.

L's talking bout text losers...........Im offended

audio is a mic hooked to a fucking pc...thats cool?
u aint signed either.......dont diss the textcees man we
far out way audio on RV

blah something quick , text battle diss, topical

radom lines:

Dont mind L. Veracity he's another gayrapper in disguise alias
This fag is doused with piss like when I.P his address *read it slow*
Leaving him bloody like a matress, inside of a treehouse
You talk about dicks when yours is that of a wee mouse
"Your life is in jepeardy so call me Trabec".....bleeckkk....!
Fag, you get more "beamed up" then the crew of Star Trek
Standing erect whenever its some farm animals chillin
He hops yards and touchdown the pigskin like Corey Dillon
Im a villian, come in here an get a scenic view of the killin
Yo rhymes come up short like midgets jumpin at the ceiling

yea yea

Dont start beef here.

This is for sign ups.....

do i have to do a text battle verse and topical verse if i want in both??

Um...for entertainment purposes? Not every battle is about elevation or proving you're better than someone.

I'm down for text. Will post more verses if desired, but I'll start with one.

Vs. King Solo, back when he had his name changed to I'm Sorry...WHO?? and Ice-D in the same week, just so you get the plays.

You're cocky as hell, but before that your skill we hardly knew
Someone said "Solo's dope!" I just replied "I'm Sorry...Who??"
I've persevered, earned a rep, but your hopes were so bleak
You changed your name so you could hop my nuts if I hit a cold streak
"So weak" is an understatement, your spittin' is cursed
You're the center of attention…when we see where you positioned your verse
Yeah, "solo" lines are played, but really you don't bring forces
Only d/r's, oh, sorry, I mean all the King's horses
But if I accused you of that, you'd get bent out of shape like limbos
You couldn't bring the pane if you were installin' my windows
Claim to be royalty, but I remain skeptical
And have your rhymes throne…in the trash receptacle

my replie:

9th probley a white rapper from Norway, damn thats amazing,
fuck 9th, cuz im about to burn till hell raising,
we got a clueless idiot.and K.S probley a dude from australia,
my loss would be an outrage.like chong doing time for paraphenalia,
funny man.fuck rhyming do stand up like dave chappelle,
oh and heres a newsflash dunnie. 9TH the founder of Big L,
Can it be?, nah...lol
always hatin on hustler yall know you cant beat me,
callin me out is dangerous.like mixin vodka and ecstasy,
you two fagots make a cute couple.go jump in a caridge,
then find your way to Canada, since they legalized same sex marriage
boring ass rapper, when K.S N 9TH rap's, realize no one cares
cuz ya is like the times… skill's takes a leap only once every fourth year

yup! that auto-do-it

Not really, but try again later...a lot later.

fraud.. Whoever the fuck you are.. If you keep posting crap in this thread you will be banned for a week.

So was I considered Nos?

Yeah.. If it ends up being text.. You'll be one that I'll pick..

jhyfgyigyikioji

We dont get freestyle friday over here.. Never seen an episode in my life -_-

stfu with your shows we dont get..

Mhm. Topicals.



Before a Bed of Flowers



The plain lent binding motions of the quotient between the child and his lilacs..
It seemed to be that he and glory were always adjacent to the ending climax..;
He is going nowhere; he’s groundwater rushing into the closest body of water..
The Tower of Babel separates him from speaking with the heavens’ daughter…
But I can see him lying amongst the flowers, and I can sense he’s very special,
And it’s probably to his subconscious that his iris from this height sees speckles.
The people below him are mere ants, but the things around him are the closest,
He whispered tongues to clouds and stars from beginning to ending moments…
The boy was a showman; I could feel it as I wait hesitant and make calculations,
And measurements in my mind; deciding, I go to meet a monster in the making.

And yet he's only six.

“Show yourself to me, and present an opportunity,” said the lonely child,
and even his egotistic attitude beguiles me into slowly resorting to a small smile.
“I’ve walked miles to see you, sir,” I said with every possible way of flattery,
as I could almost touch the invisible wire that connects us like sides of batteries.
In minutes we’ll be reduced to me and you goading each other and all chaffing,
But that’s just because we’re the polar opposites, but attract like two magnets..
He could feel something as well; it was obvious by the way his eyelids fluttered…
I’m so intent on staring into his countenance and making formulas I hear mutters.
“Pardon?” I can see the features on this future creature swiftly change at first,
Me? I can smell his innocence, but I’m branded, I’m stranded with my sad curse.

“I said the sun is bright, but can it be too much so?” An intelligent question.
He’d learned the first lesson, but who knows Tempter’s plan, I’m really guessing.
With cruel intentions I know he’d mold this model student to his own masterpiece,
I borrow a mortal’s sorrow for a moment because the future cruelty cannot cease.
Closing my eyes I understand he knew what was happening to in a small percent.
Even at such a young age he can see I’m the mirror image, and he’s the light bent.

He said…

“You’re lie sent,” In man’s tone, knowing he’d give up his childhood in tradeoff.
“Perhaps that’s the truth…
but you know inside you to come and join me, Adolph.”

lol...its on the like top ten rap countdown on bet...

every friday theres a freestyle battle...winner comes back next week...

im pretty sure theres no limit to how many times you can come back...

and you arent allowed to cuss...i think those are the only two differences...

oh...except they dont do text...that shit would be rediculous...

Oh yes, schema. They get a dais and put sheets of paper with text written on it and let the camera scan over each one.

Word.. This shit would kind of be like that, cept I'm jus doin it to replace the cypher thing that used to be stickied.. Bit of a change..

Why not..

:hitit2: :o

Am I in or am I not?

yea song battles would be cool...........

did i read that 9th verse b4?
1st line i remember.................

It was Battle of the Month for May. So you probably saw it.

Well we need more audio cats signing up for this..
