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..

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

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?
