I couldn't champ 1-2 because I don't understand what makes a punch played tbh

Like you could scour your brain for 20 min and come up with a completely original bar out of left field & people will be like "Nah way too simple/ played"

Also for battle rappings my delivery is shit

Maybe I just been around too long....but even wen I listen to rap...my played signal goes off....like.....meh......that shit played as fuck.....I'll let u slide on this one tho jay

^I do it too.

lmao in fairness played shit can be made to seem fresh if it's worded strongly enough

I never thought I'd say that but a couple recently had me feeling that way

because people tend to see a WORD (A SINGLE WORD) in the bar and auto-sume the shit played

a lot of word plays get that type of reaction tho

and of course the generic cliches

Aye but flo real used a potato line on me and nobody said it was played.

FUCK U GUYS.

lol jk i ain't mad atchya.

lmao that shit was a "digging up dirt" line IMO

the potato was just the tie in

it was funny tbh but you got him both rounds last week

lol fair enough, fair enough.

My girl was listening to something the other day I said something was played and she told me it wasn't a netcee poem

But word I do it a lot

this is kinda true

I don't do the whole word shit but I can see it gets done, a lot

the cliche shit can still be cool if flipped correct imo
, it's just that so many have been done and done the same way (vultures circling your head, anyone?) that ppl steer clear of them

Resin is usually good for fresh ish in this way

LMAO BETH SCHNOZZBERG KNOWS WE EXIST?!

I just posted a 70 line OM I wrote on the fly.

ijs.

Gone

yeah lmao

she thinks all of our battles/topicals are shitty and nerdy

she enjoys a good lars or bags thread and reads roast with me though

I think I could champ aowl an poetry 1-2 is always my weakest tho an I never stay motivated enough to stick with aowl. Poetry is doable but I don't have the time for all 3 leagues. Only reason I'm doing 2 now is 1-2 only needs a bar a week

This is my point though... The 1-2 is just one bar a week. It should be easy and open to a lot of us champing it.

The poetry league has records disabled so EVERYONE should be taking part in there. They've nothing to lose and everything to gain.

The AOWL is the toughest but Razah (a text battler) was in the Champ Match last week. Even that is beatable to you all. All three is possible, it's just about who has that consistency to show week in week out to do it.

The first to complete this is Iron Man of NC's IMO. It's probably why it hasn't been done yet, its deceiving in the way it looks so easy to do on paper but most people have hot and cold weeks - few keep it consistently at a high level, even fewer across multiple formats.

From what I've seen only me, YDK and Witty have took up the challenge. I'd like to see more of you competing though.

Maybe Three-peat was the wrong word but The Tri-umph seems more accurate to what I meant. Champ all three leagues the site is currently running. There's enough weeks left in them all for it to be done.

I think we should start a lyrics Olympics weekly

Champ decides the format

^That'd be pretty dope imo.

kinda like you have to overthrow the champ at their forte to be able to change what kinda match?

I understand the champ having the privilege of choosing, but that might just mean them choosing 'text battle' every week and playing to their strength

a TRUE challenge imo would be letting the challenger choose what kinda battle they do

that's a true lyric olympian champ

beating the challengers at their own game
