The Are Bee PreSS: Week I
Posted: October 11th, 2003 - 12:20 A.M. EST.

[ Introduction . ]

I am very lucky to have one of Sacred Scriptures' own members co-author our weekly newsletter for the week ._ Auspicious took it upon himself to write mach summaries and his actions are commendable in my book._ As for the week, the stars of SS shined brightly._ Camarac held off Bribeone1 with a legendary piece while Evolve proved that he was more than a battle emcee in nearly knocking off understatement._ I still don't understand how the hell LaRyan Shabaz loses, I don't think yuh'guys understand the sophistication in his drops._

[ Match Summaries . ]

T-Square vs . LaRyan Shabaz

T pulled Out The Win In The Longest Lasting
Battle Of The Week. SS Agrees.. LaRyan Needs
To Upp His Game If He Wants To Be A Solid
Competitor This Week Against Chrit.

Feeble Minded vs. King Of Theives

Feeble Handed Out A Loss To KOT In
What Quite Possibly Could Be The Worst
Topic In SS History, As KOT Said In His
Finisher.. That Could Have Very Well
Cost Him The Loss. Feeble Went With
A Short Approach And Scorched KOT
In This Bout.

Evolve vs. Understatement

One Of The Weeks Best. Both Created
Great Imagery And Had Sum Deep Story-Telling
Here. Votes Bombaurded Back And Forth
But In The End Maven Topped Out The Victory.
Would Make A Great ReMatch In Weeks To come.

]Taktik vs. Fgee

Another Close Match From The Weeks Past.
Fgee Flipped The Topic Sum, Which Most
Members Liked. Taktik Came Straight But Lacked
The Creativity To Beat Fgee's Experience.

Whitelightning vs. 2HotTaHandle

This Bout, Debuted As One Of The Weeks Worse.
Elevation Is Key Here Fellas. Whitelightning Easily
Took The Topic As One Of SS's Underated Contender.
We All Look To Hope 2Hot Can Upp His Game
For Serious Elevation Against Newcomer, Kobra.

Hi My Name Is vs Ray Zor

Not A Real Great Battle Here, As Ray Zor
Rushed A Quick 8 Liner, Leaving Open A Very
Easy Win For "Hi My Name Is" To Pick Up.

Mystery Murdera vs. Auspicious

'Spicious Pulled Out An Easy Win Over MM
Last Week. 'spicious Was On Point With His
Story Telling But Lacked Originality.. SS Seen
Potential In MM, But He Didn't Demonstrate It
In This Bout.

Ill Mental vs. Sonn In Time

Sonn Showed Potential Coming Into This.. But
Mental Just Fired Back And Blew His Chances..
Sonn Continously Cried About The Votes, So He'll
Have To Face It In His Casket Match This Week
Against King Of Thieves.

Camarac vs. BribeOne1

Met In Pre-Season And Carried It Over To Wk1
Camarac Again With Impressive Topical Material
As He Took Awe's Of All Those WHo Read. Bribe
Answered Back With Good Effort But Failed To Shut
Down Cam Here.

G. Hod vs. Chrit

Chrit, Not Feeling The Topic Pulled Out A Short
Arrangement This Week. G.Hod, Who Had His Sites
On This Topic.. No Showed, Therefore Giving
Chrit The Win.

[ Predictions . ]

Championship Match: Camarac v. Auspicious
*Cam will emerge victorious, but not before Auspicious raises a few eye-brows (wow, what a terrible figure of speech).

Casket Match: Sonn-In-Time v. King of Thieves
*I feel that King of Thieves will edge this one out in the battle of the bottom-feeders.

Edicius v. Deacon
*Deacon comes to the league with a poetic mindframe which could haunt his opponents . ._ Edicius has found refuge in the new, domineering topical crew "ClaustrophobicS" and is improving immensely._ I'm going to go with Edicius, by a hair.

Faze v. A2Z
*Faze is league champion Camarac's protegé who has jumped crews to join the ClaustrophobicS as well._ A2Z is a seasoned topical veteran, however I think Faze has the upper-hand in this match-up.

G. Hod v. Mad Man
*I, G. Hod, havechance to oust the former owner of the famed Rapbattles.net from his topical booster seat._ Vote = Mad Man

Chrit v. LaRyan Shabaz
*Upset Special: LaRyan Shabaz takes it in the closest match of the week!_ Chrit's topical repertoire is growing, but he better not take Shabaz lightly.

Micatic v. Calda Merda
*New-comer Calda Merda will knock off the reincarnated Hands of God in a close match._ Could be a stepping stone for either participant.

HiMyNameIs v. Whitelightning
*Honestly, I'm not that familiar with either of these two._ I'll take Whitelightning 'cos he didn't quote Eminem in his user name.

AddLibb v. Mystery~Murdera
*Unfortunately, I think MM will no-show in this match-up._ Regardless, Addlibb is growing as a lyricist, and MM is yet to improve himself in a topical venue.

Evolve v. Fgee
*Could be the marquee match of the week with two traditionally LLL heads being paired._ I'll take Fgee in the semi-upset.

Feeble Minded v. T-Square
*Yet another intriguing pairing plotting two different styles against each other._ Feeble Minded will pull this one out, but barely.

2Hot2Handle v. Kobra
*Kobra will take this fairly easily, unfortunately._ Prove me wrong, 2hot._ Please do.

Maddawg MKN v. Bizzurk
*Bizzurk will have a strong, topical showing as he takes care of Maddawg in a victory via knockout._ G'Luck, Maddawg.

Phrantik v. Understatement
*I lied._ This is the marquee match-up of the week, as long as both of them show up._ It will pit former Word Perfect members against each other in a battle of epic proportions (cue scary background music and highlight reels)._ I'll take Understatement, 'cos it was just his birthday and 'tik may be a bit rusty.

[ Conclusions .]

There are many intriguing match-ups taking place in this week's league._ I see the range and talent of topically-inclined writers on Are Bee increasing by the day._ Anyone I've doubted, prove me wrong; anybody I've favored, stake your claim(s)._ G'luck to everybody, and don't know-show!

Jihhad.
