Thumbs up Rv Rap Idol III.: THE CHALLENGE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IP:

RV Rap Idol: Round III.

*Emcees, be sure to check in the official thread in the Rap Idol forum!
**Make sure you read the mini-tutorial I've included at the bottom of this challenge.


Challenge: Story Telling
Theme: In 16 (minimum) - 32 (max.) lines, tell a story about a burglary or robbery. The story MUST have a beginning, middle, and climax (ending). You may tell the story mainly in the 1st-person (I/we) or the 3rd person (he/they). In either case, be creative and relay the story with as much detail as possible.

Rules & Stipulations:
1. You MUST use one of the 3 beats I provide. Yes, you have a choice of

three beats this time on which to rap your story.

2. Track must be at least 2:00 minutes, no longer than 2:30.

3. NEW FACET: You MUST use these two words somewhere in your story/flow: DECISIVE & RECIPROCATE. (If you're not sure of their definition, look them up!)

4. Due Date: Sunday, October 30, 2005 by 11:59 p.m. EST.

Go here and select from 3 beat choices: Beat 1, Beat 2, or Beat 3

best emcees on the site. And, unfortunately, E.C. and -UNF- were
sent home packing.

STORY TELLING: Tutorial

We've all heard the highly respected rapper Slick Rick weave intricate
stories in his classic tracks. His attention to detail is what garnered
him the title of "Best Story Teller". However, for this challenge, I've
chosen to use my favorite emcee of all time as a focus, Biggie Smalls.
Biggie is regarded as one of the best story tellers of his time because
he used so much detail in his raps. If what he was saying wasn't true,
you damn sure wouldn't know it. When he laced a line in a story, it
furthers your understanding of the plot and provides much needed
detail/information that the story couldn't survive without. In other
words, be efficient with your words, but incorporate as much detail as
possible. If you're rapping about the inside of a bank, include details
about what it looks like, how people reacted in the situation, sounds
present during the robbery, etc. Remember, the focus is story telling,
but you still must be conscious of flow/delivery/rhyming. The winner of
this week's challenge will be the emcee that brings strong fundamentals
to the track (flow/delivery/rhyming), but also a creative and well
thought-out story.

I have included a classic track by Biggie Smalls, which is also one of
your beat choices, for your convenience to appreciate and study.
