This thread is to follow up on me saying that I could trace literally any concept back to some other sourse. Why? Because the english language is 900+ years old. You aren't the first to say anything and definitely won't be the last. Topicals resemble entire concepts. Battles resembles smaller concepts and entire lines. But onto the point:

Here's the first 8 battles in Elevated Front Lines:

OMB vs. Kesse

OMB: who woulda thought, pulled up by bent cops,
get a set shock when they plant some fresh rocks

Dave Chapelle eluded to this exact point in "Killin em softly" whne he said the cops make everything look drug related by 'sprinklin some crack on em'.

Kesse: i worked at a department store, respected and well paid
had a family which i cared for, every night i would pray

Mr. Lif has a song called "Post Mortem" that has a line very similar to this, but the entire concept of Mr. Lif's song is based on the same topic this line is


Indeph vs. CounTREE jay

Indeph: well I guess thats what success is...I guess thats my messege..
but what I still don't get...is why we' being tried seperate?
Its all good..We gettin boarders...same case...different lawyers..
Different this different that...we always different... for what?

Concept is identical to SHYNE's complaints with puff, not to mention going to court with Jay-Z is the topic of "Not Guilty" the trackof Jay-Z's "Dynasty" album.

CounTREE jay: Life goes on, went back to the block with the same mentality,
Women and all the drugs, help me slip in and out of reality.

Killa Army had a line in their self titled track that delivered a lot liek this. Nas had an entire verse in Drunk By Myself that was this identical concept.

MiStA AuThEnTiC: the night turn dark, the moon shows its full view in the sky
My veins starts to turn into an deformed mutiny of rage disease
My teeths get sharper, pure visions turning into yellow eyes
My Face gets hairy, finger nails gets longer, my yawns are growls

This is the identical opener for the "Thriller" video

Final vs. Untraceable:

Final: I'd quote the entire verse, but long story short, the entire verse is nearly identical to the story fomr "It's a Wonderful Life" the christmas movie.

Untraceable: Trying to deminish and win this election to become a producer
Abuser of what had brought him succesion, slowly becomes a loser
Looser minded people saw that his reign wasnt going to last
With passed time he began to realize his dreams started to pass

This chunk is the story for Shakespears Julias Caesar play, step-by-step, prior to the old "et tu Bruté" line.



Schema vs. Cinncinatius:

Fatal Lyricz (cinncinatius): This Kid Couldn't Smell Defeat With Both His Shoes Off*

Do I really have to cite a source for the infamous "de-feet" line?

Schema:real vets dont need a clone machine to get a double-you...[b]

I'm sure I don't need to cite a "double-you" line, but I used one against someone named "M", I've seen others use it as well and I'm sure as shit you cna think of someone off the dome that has. If not, I'll get you links.

Schema: [b]dreams of sonnin me...ho come back to reality...
watch this fatal lyrik catch a lyrical fatality...

B-boys.com - One Man Crew vs. Ramathon:
Your skills inanimate
best fast reality You cant survive this lyrical fatality

Parallel vs. Final: Your momies like your little maid, slave and your Nurse
Everything in your life went wrong, probably a Curse..

Who HASN'T heard of someoen saying someoen elses mom is their nurse?

Copywrite vs. Final: superior faces torn criteria of races feeble kind commited genocide
vaxine gasp's every breath corrupted molicues exumed like paroxide

"Powder" of Bonethug's off-shoot group made a track about Genecide and the trajedies that jews had to endure. One line discusses the gassing of jews much like this. As a matter of fact, anything that EVER mentions the halacaust in any detail will discuss the gassing of jews - liek this does.

Final: plotted a plan take the axe, strike the door till its impaled...
...sleak steel was noticed therefore the plan was to no avail

This is a description of the scene form "The shining" with the infamous "iiittttsssssssss'sss JOHNNY" line.

Cincinatius vs. Picture Perfect 2:

Cincinatius: Picture A Perfect Picture, That's Not Even Perfect
10 Line Battle? Kid Your Ass Wasn't Even Worth It

This is voted "#1 Excuse".

Cincinatius: Ya Wouldn't Have A Chance Of Beating Me In Dreams
Ya Verse Is As Worn An Broken As Ya Moms Knees

Someone jsut busted a line about someone elses style being as worn out as the spot in your mom's jeans. I could keep this going line by line on ANY battle on this board.

Picture Perfect: yo you remind me of G-unit, even though u aint got muscle or fame
but because cincanatus is the type not to go far with the game

Do I really need to cite some "g-unit/game" lines? If I do, just listen to my "bye to the game" track




This broke down the first 9 posts in Elevated Front Lines at the time I went in. That's 7 topicals and 2 regular battles. I just picked essentially random lines, or the shit that stuck out the most and if this were all regular battles the examples would have been WAAAYYYYY more blatant. Do I think anyone here bit? Nope. Definitely not. Are the concepts and execution the same? Definitely. And it always will be. Nothing you see or hear is original. Nothing is new. It's jsut a matter of if YOU'VE seen it yet. Come to terms with it and you'll make your life a lot easier.<--make sure to remember that one.

BTW - to further prove the point, post any verse fomr any rapper (established or not) fomr any place and I'll show you at LEAST one other place that at LEAST one line could be traced back to. The concept at the very least.
