Strategic Incline
Mag #2
Intro
A decent start to the tourney, sorry for the no shows but shit should run smoothly now. For the people who did drop thank you. Saw some decent match ups this week to get things started, wasn’t as hype as I was hoping for but week one did have it’s share of dope material. This week has some dope set ups as well as the jump which should be entertaining to see.
Spot Light
The 2 MC’s to look out for
Marcus Reese
Not sure why the so many name changes, but for you who don’t know he is also know as Nick Fletcher or The Original, this guy seems to get props and respect from a lot of dope heads around here, I personally haven’t yet to see much from him but he has proven he pretty much knows what he’s talking about. Now I know by his last week verse he doesn’t seem like a threat but we are well informed that it was a jokes no show verse, so I am looking forward to seeing him in action.
Alphabetized
Not a veteran of RV but for sure has had his experience in the battle scene, I know this dude as a well rounded writer period. What ever the topic he is sure to deliver. I like his style, he delivers the dopest punches that make you think he’s going to say something to follow the saying but then he turns it around to punch you in the mouth, lol not sure what those punches are called, but peep his battles you’ll know what Im saying.
Verse of the week
This week it goes to Bobericc_lyrics, well done dude.

				dios GOTTA be on something.. I mean to think you'll level with this 
please... you couldn't be class -a- if you WERE the heroin bitch! 
your attempting a miss, in survival of fits, I aim for heads 
and if your inclined to strategize... you'd just be playing dead 
so cam was more original, round one greets this fortunate fool 
as your flipping shit till nightfall... top of the morning to you! 
enduring this feud, your hip hop-less, this kid will be faltered, 
you haven't elevated from your wack self... just heavily altered 
sympathy offers, cryptic nameplays, kid's no better than horrid  
if DIOS catches an L in his ass backwords, he'll still never be SOLID 
I said he aint got this.. no biggie, but your mothers an addict dammit 
hops out the bushes to light that ass up, like crack commandments 
your catching feelings cause I'm a slew of success in compilation 
your talking legend stats? I don't even think you got a nomination 
fucker, stop it.. or keep fooling around and act mad retarded 
your heading directly to the jump, like a dumb trapeze artist!

Voter of the week
Gkillaz, congrats man, and thank you for taking the time.
SO ALL YOU KNOW CIVIL HAS OFFERED A CASH PRIZE TO THE VOTER OF THE WEEK EACH WEEK.
Even though there is money given out voting still has a lot of room for improvement, advice and critique is the most important thing, cash will only be given out if voting improves, if no one votes worth a shit then no one will get the money, so lets be cool about this cause we all would like to see an extra couple votes in our battles, or a extra couple detailed votes.
Most potential
JTR
Gunna give it to this dude, he definitely has the skills to produce the material. I have saw some nice lines by this guy, but on the same end it almost seems like he doesn’t always apply himself or give a consistent effort. But note the skills cause they are there and don’t be surprised if he spits fire.
The down Low
Well this is where I talk about the bad stuff about last week, I’ll start with the bad……Voting for one, not saying that you all suck and don’t know how to vote, but the voting was lazy and not everyone took the time to do it, you should vote on at least four battles they are shit load……and a reminder that no one forgets about the jump, just follow the link and vote there too. Also I was a bit disappointed in the amount of no shows this week, please post a verse if you signed up to do so, everything should work out now. I would also like to take the time to thank the people who did vote and post their verses.
Ins and outs 
Spul out for his own reasons, C.A.L.I in to test his skills…….don’t think there was anything else.
