Hip Hop Battle Discussion Thread

[Midnight Green]

I’m going to have to go ahead and drop out of this competition I am currently in the process of moving and expect my internet time to be erratic throughout the next couple of weeks. I might be able to finish the current battle but even then I probably won’t be able to battles next round should I advance.

I will finish this battle either way though.

Lucky me? C'mon, he knew the writing was on the wall so he quit. If you wanna talk about getting lucky vcwannabe has it down pat. Hope I get him in the second round.

total _____/60

Originality - how original is the rhyme? have you heard something like this elsewhere?

Rhyme Scheme - how did the words rhyme? were the rhymes creative?

Creativity - this is sort of like originality. was the person creative? did he try something new? or did he have styles you already heard?

Rebutals - how strong were the person's rebutals. did he respond well to the attack?

Flow - how does the rhymes sound in your head?

 

[Chutney]

I think J_Ray was writing a response. Can we just let him get that in?

 

[Iggy]

yea i know jrays writing a response... soo leave that open

 

[Iggy]

yo brian do we post our scores? or do we just base or pick on our scores then say who we picked to win.

 

[Really Lost One]

Alright. Sure, but every other battle is closed. After J_Ray's response, the battle is over.

 

[Legacy]

What about VC?

 

[Trip]

What would the difference between Originality and Creativity be?

 

[Iggy]

umair man! i just gotta give you props.. i dont want you to be eliminated ... if you do can you just spit one last verse for me here on the discussion thread?!

 

[B.e.]

How long is voting gonna last?

 

[bbwSwish]

Vote in the Swish15 vs. Junoon thread!

 

[Iggy]

sorry bout that air fresh.. i hope you got me PM

 

[B.e.]

don't worry about it.

 

[Iggy]

aite man.. haha i guess i was caught up in the excitement... ming said he'll actually read it and post the real winner as his pick after...

 

[Chutney]

I honestly think vcwannabe15/Voodoo Child should have another day to get their battle on. VC's posted already, and I think we just need to make sure that they're on at the same time. Plus, I don't like the idea of vcwannabe getting through on a technicality.

I'm not sure about my battle against J_Ray. I'm sure J_Ray felt rushed, but I kind of wrote my first rap feeling that I would hit him harder when I had something to respond to. Even if I win, I don't mind adding in another verse each and voting again, if everyone feels it's fairer. The question is if the other rappers would feel it's unfair. What do you think J_Ray? And Brian? And anybody else?

Are you serious? That rap was good.

 

[Karma]

I really think there should be a Umair vs. VCWannabe rap battle at the end of this tourney for the best up-and-coming rapper at JBB award. I'd pay to see that battle.

 

[B.e.]
