You do understand that Vanity Fare, which is distinct from the novel and magazine entitled Vanity Fair, is UK pop group for the 60s?

You want me to write a rap about them?

Pinot Grij 01-14-2016 10:06 PM

Yea, @Adonis - I'm not sure if it's a typo or a play on words in this case.

Write about whatever you can.


I did not know that and fair is a different word. I meant the topic to be more along the lines of, Vanity fare = The Price of being Vain


But whatever you can create from it is an endless possibility.

@Pinot Grij

not sure if that clarified, maybe I'm using wrong tense?

Vanities Fare?

Argh 01-14-2016 10:12 PM

No images this week? Boo...

Pinot Grij 01-14-2016 10:21 PM

@Adonis The proper term is Vanity Fair. That's where the confusion comes in. Vanity Fare does not exist. Vanity Fair is a very common phrase based upon a classic novel and popular contemporary magazine.

That's two different things though.

I'm lost to this type of shit because I'm self educated in all things


But to me, Vanity Fare clearly means the price of being into ones self

Vanity Fair means the, well a few things but none of which is what I intended.


Either way, Cimmerian or Witty are more then welcome to use either fair/fare for inspiration

Or I can change it, makes no difference. Wish I were smarter.





and @Argh

sorry bout not doing picks. I just hosted AOWL, this sites version of RHYME, just hosted the playoffs with 6 straight weeks of photos then 16 photos this week. Running out of shit to search for as far as images go. I did ask for help though, nobody cared then

Adonis 01-14-2016 10:31 PM

@Pent uP

delete your fucking inbox bro. HAHA

I actually just discovered a little tab where you can delete everything at once.

Pent uP 01-14-2016 10:34 PM

Yeah man i know about the tab.
Im not lazy im a hoarder of memories

I'm just razzing you. I'll come up with something. Thanks for hosting.

TYSON vs. Razah

Argh vs. Mr. J
Topic: Everything I Have

Frank vs. Vividlyvague

NYCSPITZ vs. Diode

Topic: Vanity Fare

Objective 01-15-2016 02:24 AM

Fuck, I completely forgot about this! Haven't logged on the site since sunday or monday or so. Sorry for no-showing @Adonis. Good luck to you and everyone else with the rest of the tournament though. :)

Witty 01-15-2016 09:24 AM

This will be good. I always get the person I consider to be the favourite in round 2 lol but that's good...that's why I enter these tournaments, I consider myself on par with anyone, and battles like this are when I have to walk the walk. God knows I'm going to have to write my ass off, and I plan to. It will be a pleasure @Cimmerian, I am a big fan of your work, let's make it memorable.

Diode 01-15-2016 09:33 AM

aren't we vindictive?

Witty 01-15-2016 09:34 AM

Are we?

Diode 01-15-2016 10:18 AM

was in reference to adonis, not you, fox friend.

Haven't you beaten NYCSPITZ?

Edit: Never mind.

Soulstice 01-15-2016 12:34 PM

GodComplex vs. Pent uP - botw candidate
Dead Man vs. Pie - dont know enough about pie
Tyson vs. Razah - razah is definitely underrated
Argh vs. Mr. J - dark horse upset potential, thought BE was a little rusty rhymeswise
Frank vs. VividlyVague - another botw candidate
NYCSPITZ vs. Diode - havent read much of diode but hear good things
Pinot Grij vs. Soulstice - good luck. another stylistic clash (although pinot style is pretty unique anyway)
Witty vs. Cimmerian - I read some old school cimm verses and thought they were tight. botw candidate #3.

dope matchups.

Diode 01-15-2016 02:21 PM

so i mean this is definitely arbitrary assignment, right? there can't possibly be a bracket, because GodComplex should have TYSON easily (in the event GodComplex is #1 seed).

grafx 01-15-2016 02:29 PM

oh shit this is a tournament lol. didn't see that when I joined... anyways will edit here later... good luck to everyone in rnd 2. sorry for week 1 dis appointing drop - also for lack of voting I didn't get done... will keep track of this tournament though - good luck to all.. will put predictions down on pad after work

I can't imagine Godcomplex being the No. 1 seed, with all respect to his recent Art of Writing League victory.

Witty 01-15-2016 03:32 PM

I think he was though, judging from the first mag.

Adonis 01-15-2016 04:23 PM

There's no Re seeding. Buddha was number one seed purely based on the fact he was fresh off the aowl title. He was matched with the winner of the 15/16 match. If there was Re seeding like the NFL he would face Tyson as he was the lowest seed to advance. But it's not, so I followed the bracket.

Diode 01-15-2016 04:32 PM

if you do alts tho, there def should be reseeding.. there's no planet on which pent is a 15/16 seed lol

UnbornBuddha 01-15-2016 04:42 PM

Plant any seed and let it flower and blossom.

I hear you there. But that would have messed up the entire bracket and I didn't want to have to go back and do it. Pent was the only exception, and it sucks he fell into the top match, but every match up here is a great read and potential BOTW.

Theoretically you are correct, but this field is ridiculously competitive where no matter who you face (almost) is a beast. Every competitor with the exception of one has either won title, made a finals or at the very least made a deep push in a tourney. Every single one with the exception of Tyson.

Witty 01-15-2016 06:31 PM

Da fuq is pie?

Thanks, man. Good luck. Coincidentally, years ago, I dropped a verse entitled "Vanity Fair." I'll try to come up with something fresh.

asylum 01-16-2016 06:39 AM

looking forward to the reading material! if yall need someone to write a sub verse in case of noshow get at me @Adonis

Construct your fucking face

That is all.

Oh yeah,

and eat a dick

@Frank ...So, I just read that. A few things:

I chose to vote on your battle because I thought both verses were interesting and showed promise. The feedback I left wasn't intended to hurt your feelings (which clearly it did). If you can't take constructive criticism at face value, then perhaps you should reconsider playing in this space.

The personal digs you make don't bother me, and I welcome the opportunity to square off against you, the "superior writer," any time.

I am also welcoming the opportunity for you to get your square off against me.

B.E tampered with the original quote

Argh 01-16-2016 07:05 PM

I removed exactly two words ("Voting Argh").

Adonis 01-16-2016 09:40 PM

Franklin da God.

UnbornBuddha 01-17-2016 04:45 PM

This is an exciting week. I myself, am done with my verse, time to wait now. I know Pent is going to bring it.

I see Cimmerian already posted, @Witty don't no-show my friend, many of us are excited about the bout, don't let us down ;)
