@sraL I'm showing. I've never no-showed at Netcees. But since the extension was approved, most if not all extensions here at Netcees are for 24 hours right?

Take the 24 hours if needed. I'd always sooner you guys showed up.

It just throws next week off dates-wise that's all and votes aren't that likely to come in, ideally I wanted voting cast over 2-3 days and preferably the weekends.

Thanks so much @sraL.

@Atheist @RichardCorey you showing up?

so exciting.

I can also write tomorrow.

It's labor day weekend for ameribrahs so maybe why little slow too

I'm definitely showing up, if Pancake wants to take his verse down, he can.


I have till midnight PST tonight, right?

Yep.
@Split Eight you still looking good to post?

will get my votes in early Monday afternoon when I'm back in civilization.

Sir yes sir

Will have my verse up by the midnight PST deadline

Yeah. Wrote 70% last night until it was like 4 am then slept an ungodly amount

Forgot I had friends coming back to town

that was one of my uglier no show verses :/

You shouldn't have posted a no show verse, we have a reserve list for a reason.

@Certain @Witty you have 24 hours to post vs @Split Eight

First to post their complete verse up gets the battle.
@Split you have until your opponent posts to edit your verse!


LETS GET IT!!!!

Isn't that not how reserves work?


And nah, it's cool. I didn't post a no-show verse out of laziness. I could not write to that topic to save my life haha. Rust really showing I guess

So should I take you out and make it Certain vs Witty?

EDIT:

Can @Certain and I have a fresh topic?

It's basically a new matchup. I could technically have the advantage of having a week longer than Certain to write.

And he'd technically have the advantage where if I write to my opponent's strength's// weaknesses, I'm in a massive rush to get the verse edited before he drops. And if I finish editing after he's posted something, then I'd be DQ'd

Not really fair to either party, and I assumed I'd be notified of a sub-in when check-ins were due or when extension requests were due

I'd rather have a new start with a mutual deadline of midnight PST tonight

I would prefer to keep it in the 32-and-under range anyway.

New topic

LETS GO!

I read a few other verses and even read my old piece quoted in the mag and wow.......rust is an understatement ....or maybe whatever stds I've contracted from tinder have been slowly eating away at my brain.

Lol. Admittedly I didn't have the time j wanted but the piece I did throw up felt really labored. Won't even say how much time was spent LOL too much.

I'm try to drop some votes before the weekends out

Your flow was on point.

I wrote it to survival of the fittest while I was sitting at work. Maybe that's wat fucked me up......writing to a beat. I don't generally do that these days.

That is my favorite Mobb Deep track, ahead of "Shook Ones Pt. II" or "Extortion" or "Quiet Storm."

Agree

RIGHT GUYS, IT'S MONDAY 8.30AM HERE IN THE UK

I'M GONNA LEAVE VOTING OPEN UNTIL WEDNESDAY AM UK TIME AND THEN WE'LL HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO MOVE ON WITH THE SECOND ROUND!!

HUGE RESPECT TO EVERYONE THAT SHOWED AND HAS VOTED SO FAR, YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!

"Eye for an eye"?

Another classic. Mobb Deep probably is the most underrated rap group because their style was derivative, which allows people to ignore their quality and quantity.

"Right Back At You" takes the cake for me.

@Certain you're welcome for that spot lol

@Split Eight was online last night. No idea what happened. We could have just kept the original topic that he'd already written to.

i've got a 16 ready if @Split Eight doesn't show and you guys want another sub quick @Certain @sraL

It will cause too long a delay between rounds I feel to allow a further extension. I think we're just going to accept Certain winning and keep things moving in truth. 1/16 isn't bad.

Ok folks, who's your money on for the tournament?

Let's get some early predictions for a winner.
@Frank @big baby @dead man @Cimmerian @Bags @Vulgar @RichardCorey @Certain @Pinot Grij @eng @Soulstice @Pent uP @NYCSPITZ @PancakeBrah @god complex

I predict Bags wins.

Stay in your lane.

Current tallies:

Frank 4, big baby 3
Eŋg 4, Pinot Grij 2
dead man 5, NYCSPITZ 2
RichardCorey 4, PancakeBrah 0
Pent uP 5, Soulstice 0
Vulgar 6, UnbornBuddha 0
Cimmerian 5, Bags 0 —LOCKED
Certain W, Split Eight NS

Best of luck to the remaining opponents. Will try to vote, and vote more in depth, the rest of the way if I can find the time. Hope all of the participants of this tournament are ready to run it back in mid to late October for The Winter Topical.


@RichardCorey I didn't give you my best this round. Went for something different instead of safe and high quality. No excuses. Take it down.
