Google images: Surrealistic art, morbid photography, vivid manipulation etc. and whatever in those categories should give you some interesting pictures to choose from.

Also stuff that has to do with; Silent abuse, subtle violence etc. Just put artwork/project or whatever to it as well and you should get some dope results.

Based on the quality of previous weeks during the regular season the topics with the best turn out/number of entertaining contests were; the week with "this is a SPLIT topic" and the week with the short phrase with double meanings - Adonis we had "innocence born from contempt" that week. If you look back through the season those topics stimulated competition and creative writing.

Platinum
Pohfig vs TopicalDood5 - Sweet fuck, Pohfigs been top 3 fav of mine in the league and I'm pretty sure Topical would be up in there as well if I was more familiar with his work. Was very impressed by what I've read from him thus far, however I can't go against Pohfig on this one. Early BotW candidate.

Zygote vs Split - Split is my broseph but Zygote has had an absolutely incredible season I don't see him allowing himself to be knocked out first round.

Red Glare vs Zenland - Ermagerd, haven't bolded a name as of yet.. This one is going to be cloooooose. Read some memorable pieces from Zen that have been reeeeally fucking dope but I remember reading fire from Red most recently, he gets the last second bolding here.

Adonis vs IamBenT - Wow another one where I have to actually sit back and think.. Be it luck of the draw or straight up serendipity, I can't believe how dope these matchups look. Taking this season into consideration it is a fitting end.. Adonis had a fire season no doubt. Went from a relative unknown on my personal radar to someone I respect. After writing that, the exact same can be said for BenT.. I think this battle will be decided by a vote, and that the vote will be influenced by this post, so I'm giving BenT the bold because Adonis is the hero we need to run this league and he can't be wasting his time participating as well! I jk of course but for real, we all appreciate you stepping up and keeping this ball rolling.

Titanium
Frank vs Genocide - Fawwwkkkk is Frank still alive even? I hope this match goes down because it would make for one hell of a read. I can't recall these two clashing before but it would be epic. I gave Gen the bold because of the two, I generally enjoy his writing more.. Obviously no insult to Frank as he too is one of this sites finest writers. Hope both show up for this one, I'ma keep my eye on it.

Mike Wrecka vs Witty - Ahhh these two motherfuckers!!! Mike and Witty have come with some hot verses this season. I also can recall at least one verse from each that I feel didn't live up to their writing potential, however I expect to both posting with their game faces for this one. Gonna give Witty the slight edge although this is definitely one I could be wrong on.

Patrown vs DeadMan - Patrown could be the unluckiest 3rd seed in the existence of seeding. --> IF <-- Dead shows, you've got to like his odds here. He's been on and off lately, can't remember the last time I vibed out to one of his verses. Patrown is no slouch though and can definitely put together a solid verse, but I feel that if both post, and do so at their potential, Dead takes this.

Nigma vs Objective - I'm going to devour your soul, bitch.

Word...This week I've been working hard on a bunch of shit and simply don't have the time nor desire to delay the opening round another day

It will be pictures because obviously that is quickest for me

As for the other topics, I will need help with them please. If you have anything to contribute for next week let me know via PM and we can get a list together and use that as topics.

Also, horrible example because I fucking hated that topic. I hated that verse, and hated you that week. <3

@Nigma

Pure LOLZ bro, i hate you

but you're prediction on your own battle is HOF worthy

At the end of the day, we can't rely on Adonis to carry all the weight and expect him to make everyone happy. Help the homie out a bit with these topics

@Adonis Lulz and luv bro. Hate is a prerequisite <3

One of the dopest lines ever

Slug - "I love to hate you, hate to love you....hate always ends up above"

That's just like, your opinion man.

Fantastic breakdown from Nigma on the predictions. Some great looking matchups, imma post my predictions as well, and give yall the stone cold LOCKS of this huge first week in the playoffs. I'm hyped, i know my opponent is hyped, and fully expect to give poh and topical a run for their money in BOTW voting.

Predics coming soon

Word Bent

I been wanting to battle you all season...Fitting I guess

But you get -2 votes for having a gay as shit avy

Goddamn Geno & Frank got a dope fucking picture.

Pohfig vs TopicalDood5 -This has the potential for upset written all over it. Topical is one of my fav writers in the league, and if it wasnt for a super verse from Vulg and a no-show, this dude would be undefeated and most likely a champ or one of the best to rip it this year in the league. Pohfig is excellence in every aspect of the game, but had a few stumbles this year. Just looking at his response to the topic, he may lack the motivation to drop a gem, but this should be BOTW in my opinion. Giving Top the slight edge if he comes with it.

Zygote vs Split - A great matchup between a thorough writer and a poet with troublesome internet availability. I expect strong showings from both, but will not be surprised if Zygote gives us a B- level verse, much as he did against Zeedee in the last champ match. If he does, look for a close match, because perhaps Split has a little hunger in him and will decide to write a strong piece. If he does, there is a chance he could take it. But tbt the ball is in Zygote's court and I feel he would have to slack and Split would have to step it up, for Zy to catch a loss. He's just really really good, even with "throw away" verses.

Red Glare vs Zenland - I see a very possible upset here. Ever since the 100-bar fiasco, haven't seen or heard much from RG. Don't get me wrong, he has all the tools in the toolbox to make a deep run. But Zen has really caught my eye, as he has turned his focus to coupling his awesome rhyming skills with telling engaging stories and a stronger attention to detail. I feel that if he drops a full and creative 48, he can take this and shock most of us around here. We know RG can do the max, but can he recreate the excitement and wonder of "Superman" or or the emotional intensity of "Ambulance"? Dont know, man.

Titanium

Frank vs Genocide - Tougher battle than it looks, because Geno is so talented, just a peek at the open mic will tell you that. His flow is strong, and can just put things together so naturally. I fear, however, that Frank has reenergized into beast mode, and things shall get very hairy for all of his opponents. we all know he can go Max Lines with ease, and his sense of plot, character, and description, as well as the flexibility to go topical and do it well, just give him too many weapons here.

Mike Wrecka vs Witty - A heartwrencher for me as Im forced to watch two of my crewmates put it all on the line for the greater glory of the AOWL undisputed champ belt. Witty is such an underrated force, able to do everything and do it well, but Mike is the paragon of consistent excellence. I see him stepping it up yet another notch and storming this battle, strong. I would like to cheer for the boy and his ugly fox, but I just don't see big Mike losing.

Patrown vs DeadMan - Damn Patrizzy. Great to see you in the playoffs, you have gone a long way in your writing and some of the pieces I have read from you this year have been mesmerizing. that said, this a mighty foe in DeadMan, he's toppled writing legends, and can weave tales that are extraordinary to say the least. I hope you slap us all in the face and prove us wrong, Patrown, cuz you are a cool dude.. but Dead is the favorite here.

Nigma vs Objective -I really love the strides Objective has taken over the last few weeks in crafting creative and eye-popping rhymes with whip-smart stories, but i feel he still has a bit to go. Nigma at full strength and with a solid show will win this battle, but it may go close as I know that several folks following objective are really seeing him come into his own. Gonna be a great match

That's all i got fellas. See you at the finish line.

Do whatever you want. I'm busy this week as well. Haven't been home for 3 weeks now. Been sleeping over at other peoples houses and I'm currently visiting my mother, lol. Just hope that I get to write some decent stuff now that I should be writing the best shit to date rather than focusing on real life people, haha.

No need to sign out. Its playoffs. But you are now switched with alternate

@Frank @zygote

I know one of you, not sure which...was talking to me about topics

I'm going to need help this week getting some because I simply don't have much time.

I'm sitting down now to write my verse, then I go camping/Birthday bash weekend

Come back on Monday on my grind working again and not Sure how I'm going to fit certain stuff into schedule League wise

So if anyone in this league can 1. Come up with a concept for Topics and 2. PM me them that would be fucking amazing. There will be a total of 8 battles next week..If you can't come up with 8 good ones do what you can and I will help out.

Next week's battles will be up along with topics by Wednesday mid day @Nigma and any other foreign bitches we may have

@IamBenT , you are OATMEAL from Project Rhyme a few seasons ago?

Nigma vs. Objective - I think this will be very close. I would say OB with the slight edge but as he posted about lack of time I'll go Nigma cuz He seemed pumped about topic or somthing this week

Frank vs. Genocide - I want to go Frank, but I don't think he's wrote in like a month here...Oh wait, Geno hasn't in double that....Weird match, maybe a rusty one? I've liked every verse Geno has produced so he wins by a vote??

Mike Wrecka vs. Witty - I'll go Mike Wrecka...But stylistically you two are extremely similar which calls for a dope match...Should be a good one.

Pohfig vs. Topical - I'll go Pent up just cause he's PR, but this WILL be a great read from both

Patrown vs. DeadMan -Patrown easy. Dead just hasn't had it all season.

Glare vs. Zenland - Not sure if @Zenland is even going to show??? But no matter which one shows, either Zen or alternate I got Glare going beast mode ala him vs. Pohfig part 1

Zygote vs. Split - I doubt I vote against Zygote until he loses or faces me

Me vs. Bent - Bent sucks didick so....I CUM correct naddimean?
