I have read some of the feedback given and I feel out of place to be honest


I could offer my HUMBLE opinion on the pieces submitted but I FEAR it may be rather RUDIMENTARY (literally unsure if I used that word right) in comparison to other critiques offered thus far



Let's just call it a wash here


I'll agree not to vote and you all will agree that you are happy having me not do so.....

Also let the record show cimm squeaked by w a measly 5-1 robbery.

I maintain my topical glory.

a harvard alum should thrive alongside all these pretentious fucks.

LOL I see u owl

Rudimentary was a correct word choice.

For what it's worth, I enjoyed your verse. Cimmerian's style of uber short, laser precise verses present a problem to even the best in the game, in my opinion. Hard to pick apart.

most of the old guard rate him as one of the best. i've read like three verses - can't imagine he always wrote like that.

I wanted to do alot more w that verse ..... only had the one day to really work on it


I'm ashamed



Some really inspiring writing tho


Legit makes me want to have done better


Awesome first round

Knock it off

I've been reading him for 15 years. He's pretty much always written like that, to some degree.

This is from 2002:

All of his pieces were 12 or 16 or no more than 24 lines, with tight rhyming and unique phraseology.

well, shit. that's cool.

Yep. He was considered the best Open Mic writer on these sites when I was still new.

I predict I lose to dead man in the next round. There is a sort of melancholy underdog tone with unique phrasing, imagery, and good flow that is intertwined is his verses. How can you not root for that?

Strong STRONG pre anti-sway. You're above that.

ENG VS PINOT AND ONE OTHER BATTLE STILL UP FOR VOTES!

Just being honest since there was a call for predictions.

hey.

Would you do your topical pals a favor and vote on Frank vs. big baby?

Add my season 6 championship banner while you're at it

ONCE FRANK VS BIG BABY IS FINISHED, WE'LL GET THE QUARTER FINALS BATTLE THREADS SET!

I'm working on the QF mag as I type!

ay lars Id like to contribute a video for your mag, what ype of time frame am I looking at to have it to you by>?

2 days prob realistically

Wordup

Kind of a bad timing for me to see your mention and vote today @Certain. I'll see if I can get better at voting on some if I don't make it this round. I just don't put writing or even logging on in my schedule when I'm not writing any or being active on the site. I'll see if I can do some throughout the tourney tho.

Such good reads in the first round props to everyone involed

Fucking do it right now or I'll punch your face off.

U ARE VERY ERATIC THIS EVENING AND I'M NOT SURE HOW TO FAGOT U RIGHT THIS MOMENT

BUT REST ASSURED

THERE WILL BE FAGOTTING

I AWAIT THE FAGGOTING EAGERLY.

The preceding discourse is belligerent and absurd

Looks like it will be ...

Pent uP vs. Eŋg
RichardCorey vs. Vulgar
Cimmerian vs. dead man
Certain vs. Frank

Gulp

We've done this three times here. You're up 2-1. But I won the last one.

(Aside: I definitely remember battling you back in the day — and I'm sure you won — but I don't remember topical battling you.)

voting against everybody who voted against me.

adonis is a @Spoken tier voter.

That Certain vs. Frank topic is one of the better topics I've seen on here in awhile.

I'M HOPING TO SEE YOU ALL GO HAM THIS ROUND!!!!


ENJOY, PEOPLE!

I plan on recording my video tomorrow and uploading tomorrow night, mag is almost finished and I'll have the video up with the mag.

How we looking your end?

WORD!

LAST ROUND WAS CRAZY BUT THIS ROUNDS MATCH-UPS ARE LOOKING TO SHAPE UP EVEN STRONGER STILL IMO!!!

Got something big for u. Hope to record tonite. Will have it to u tomorrow if everything pans out.

@sraL, is anyone ranking the remaining competitors?

What do you mean, you want some kind of seeding now the first round is done?

I wasn't going to.

I could if you wanted it.
