I'll vote tonight. Good luck everyone!

Sad to see you go man. Guess Rock wins his first battle. Congrats dude!

Good stuff I will vote tonight doing some errands since 8 this morning shit is hectic.


I might of pulled th trigger to soon though and it’s looking like I’ll be able to take care of my problems in time for playoffs
@Adverse good showing as always broski

That champ looks ridiculous

That's good news Inno. Playoffs wouldn't feel right without you.

And yeah, an 80 line limit does make for an epic match. Blame Universe, and also me for agreeing to it. :)

You guys are assholes

:D The ass-holy-est :D

It's only 6 lines longer than last week's champ match so just look at it like that

dope shit everyone, i'll drop votes tonight...

I as well am trying to find time to vote I finally started a new job today so trying to cram everything into my schedule, I've read some good verses thus far though!

Oh, and screw Universe and 6 feet for making this a dragged out vote for me, ya'll brothas are gonna have to wait because the length of your verses are ridiculous.

@Master Rock before I forget man I did base my verse this week on my relationship with my Dad. It's a factual piece been wanting to tell one like it all season I'm glad I got the opportunity

Damn you @Johnny 6 feet, for making these playoff rankings difficult for me now... ;)

So, um... yeah. Let me explain... lol

That topic was a difficult one. I immediately saw it and thought 'okay Windbreaker part 3 - Penguin's son's origin story...' but that felt redundant to me and the more I looked at it the more the topic was telling me it was about Overprotection and lack of control, how you can't safeguard against everything... so that's why I went down the road I did. I truly thought that relating plagiarism to kidnapping was a great metaphor... but maybe to rest my hat on that concept for an entire piece was a mistake... ugh.

I think Adverse nailed it saying that I got too ambitious with this one.. sorry guys, wish it was more competitive. I fucked up.

Congrats to Johnny on the KO... damn.

@Universe thanks man, tbh I thought I was going to lose. I felt you connected with the topic better and were more tech savvy than I was. This league is at such a high level it's pretty amazing that we've got so many people who can bring it, and I don't think it's a coincidence that the titles been passed around as much as it has.

So Champ eh? I'd like to thank my kids, but I don't have any... that I know of.

I think you hit the nail on the head... it's so hard to defend and everyone is so motivated. But I think it doesn't really matter if your technically proficient because people just want to be entertained - especially if you are going 80 lines plus. I think your verse was a lot clearer and read easier. I knew after I read it that you had me beat in the smooth read department and probably several others lol. Well done.

I got too deep, plain and simple. Lesson learned. Shoulda stuck with the popcorn superhero gimmick that everyone liked lol.

On to the playoffs. @Inno drop your Year End Awards vote plz we still got ties. Want to wrap that up for the mag.

Rankings updated and battles are closed. The stage is neat and clear for the playoffs and my OCD has stopped screaming at me. All is well.

EDIT- I'd like to add I think @Adverse deserves some kind of 'Iron Man' award for being the only competitor who's participated every single week this season. Also set the record for the most wins. Nice going man.

Master Rock's 1-1 @Johnny 6 feet

Ahhh! Correctitcorrectitcorrectit!

Ok, corrected.

EDIT: Also corrected Sinacog's record. He's 2-2, not 1-2.

Have people voted for the picture challenge? I don't think anyone else is dropping for that.

Like I said bro it wasn't a bad piece or topic it just had a lot of tiny moving parts and it didn't progress like your standard Uni piece, if it helps it took you 12 weeks to even almost drop the ball so you've done something right anyways throw this week and all others out they don't matter anymore it's playoffs time and everything is fair game. So many dope writers it'll be interesting to see what happens

@Johnny thanks for the recognition for being an "iron Man" I appreciate that I don't think anyone has voted for the pic challenge but I also don't think anyone has voted for Week 11's either so those are two things we need wrapped up

Also I'm Johnny's only L I just realized so that's pretty cool

Curse you @Adverse! I'll have my revenge yet! *shakes fist*

I appreciate the breakdown man. I definitely will focus more on storytelling going forward and leave the metaphorical approach behind.

And the seedings for #2, #3, and #4 slots are confusing because Adverse beat Johnny, I beat Adverse, then Johnny beat me... so it's sort of like we all deserve the #2 in a way lol... but Johnny will get it I believe. Lars at #1 if he signs in. Then I'm thinking myself at #3 and Addy at #4 (only because of the head-to-head results)

Fair?
