i have my muse...

Watson!!!...my brush!

Was hoping for a more joyful topic, gonna end up typecast at this rate.

i would have loved your topic haha...

I do lol, i was just saying

hopefully i give topicaldude a run for his money..prolly not but still

Smoothtung's protege?---you should go and do your research lol

well im sure hes a well dressed person but im still trying my best.

lol read that prodigy my bad
get it prada g? hahahahahaha

that was horrible..im going to bed now lol

This nigga Vator. Lol. @Adonis are you referring to a site vs site topical battle? If so, idk how that would work really. I guess the admins from this site would have to put something like that together.

just read zygote's verse..
I see how it is, shit has officially became real..

It's play time :)

site battles = an incredible waste of time

everyone votes for their own sites representatives. its a cluster fuck

A topical is your exploration of a topic... I feel that you have to put forth a clear thesis or argument when doing a topical. It's an argumentative essay, in rap form. Still expect you to use metaphors, similes, and other such rhetorical devices, as well as concrete examples. Those are the best topicals. Edutainment of sorts and something that can really change your perspective. I think "New World Water" by Mos Def or "Reagan" by Killa Mike. When judging a topical verse, I look first for the thrust (what are you saying), then the style, voice, and devices (how did you say it). Slightly different criteria from judging a story, where the focus is more on plot development, characterization, dramatic tension, symbolism etc.

That being said, I would be fascinated to see an "all-topicals, all day" type of league. However, I don't think I would participate in such a league lol.

We've done it before but added all fazes. So a few regular battles and a few topical battle. Who's the admins? Ima set this up. Basically something like top 6 people from each site battle for bragging writes. Maybe we can add actual songs too, like recordings as a battle. Get @ me, shit is fun

We don't wtf??? We've had site battles on our site where our members unainmously would vote us as the loser. I do know that other sites vote for themselves. Were too old for that shit though, we let the real man win

@Adonis, I hate the topic we got man. Just sayin lol

it's me or i'm missing my battle??
i think its bcs i didnt vote last week right?

i'm still in the rankings n stuff and i dont see me where it says "out for no participation etc"

Bent you may have the greatest avy ever. KRS ONE.

Forgot my wallet today..and I was starving..bossman came through
With some lunch...soda and all.

Its a good day

League Vs League would be dope; But let us solidify this site with a season first; and let their league start up again.

Focus on the AOWL. This league is like a site battle in itself.

That's it exactly.. U express ur voice on the matter with concious n direct points to sell that view/belief..

Where as a story has characters n dialogue etc.. Whether their is a point behind it or not..

Thanx mos def is a topical master "life in marvolous times" hands down my favourite topical track ever..

Agreed..

Just dropped. I'm trying to practice writing on the spot. Let's hope it works lol

@c.d.m. I just read through your verse and I fuckin loved it.

Can we do horror core here?

My verse this week was basically horror core so I assume yes @Innovator. I see no reason why not

Ama peep that..but I ment as a topic..

We could even pimp it up and combine it with the movie idea..

Horror movie week lol..

Would make for some interesting verse

Oh I see. That sounds like a pretty good idea actually. Maybe play like the characters from horror movies like Jason, Freddy etc. I like it.

The horror movie idea sounds pretty dope

If this happens, I'm killing it....trust.

but horrorcore is the weakest form of topical

Im telling yall.. @ZenLand thats dope..write from the killers perspective..
@Witty, no doubt, when do u not kill it tho lol.
@Exoduzt

Tell the world!!!

Lol

Split be more positive...especially since I just dropped a horror core piece..........

Thanks @Innovator. Appreciate it

I disagree, I think a lot of the people who do it just don't do it right, it seems cliched and old.

Done right it can be as fresh as any theme.

Does every week have to be an over the top philosophical topic
About the plight of the feather and the sand bag..and how it relates
To your head?

Lol

I was just thinkin that yesterday lol. Let's freshen this shit up. I'm tired of soul searchin for awhile haha

@ZenLand

It could be used to keep people interested...plus

Yez its the weakest form of topical...but you gonna tell me you wouldnt
Want to read a horror piece feom the likes of zygote, frank or pent?

Shit I would.
