with Hollywood

Sn00p: Let's start with something simple: Whose alias are you?
And if you're not an alias, give us a little text background on yourself.


Hollywood: well no one takes my word for it but I battled years ago
under the name Hotboy. RBL & BB, another site too but I forget the name.
I'd like to think I'm much better now though, hundreds of RL freestyles later.
I decided to do this net shit again mostly for unbiased feedback

Alright. I'm glad you're better at battling than you are at picking names.
But then again, who am I to speak on a topic such as that. How do you
come up with names, though? I mean your last one was Hollywood Hulk
Flogan if I remember correctly. That's an ... unusual one to say the least.
How come?
And what did you think of all the noshows? If you were the mod, how'd
you combat them?


heh
well I wasn't really caring when I made that Flogan name, but thought just
Hollywood was cool? IDK but it stuck
an I hated all the no shows... Strikta & I could've had a good one but he
didn't show. I hate wasting verses, and I ALWAYS post one no matter what.
just make you apply punishments for no shows and non voters, that's all you
can do

Thanks for the input. And yes, that's what I'm doing
You'll get the noshow shine for that verse by the way. Well done. How do
you see your chances to champ this league? And who could get in the way?


hm, I think AK and Dom are threats off the top of my head. I battled AK and
won in a close one (BOTW I believe), haven't battled Dom yet, but I like his
style. I think I have a high chance of champing if I spend time on my verses.
oh and Muffy too, he's nice when he tries

Speaking of spending time on your verses, you have already dropped for your
battle. Why do you drop so early and why do you seldom PM verses? How do
you usually go about crafting a verse?


if you don't have confidence, why bother? I think it's pussy to wait, and it's
even more pussy to craft your verse around your opponent's verse after it's
dropped, so I give you the chance to do exactly that.. and still win. dropping
first sends a message, and if you drop right after me I respect it. unfortunitely
most cats don't lol
I usually just form concepts in my head based around everyday happenings
basically... could be from something someone says, to something I see, ran-
dom objects, shows, I don't fuckin know lol stuff just pops in my head. brain
is always thinking creative I guess

Alright. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. Any last words or shoutouts?

NP, shoutouts to the dohpe squizzle

@Hollywood (1-0)
@tyler (1-0)
@Muff (1-0)








Hollywood vs. Boredom
Who: Hollywood
How: 60-40
Why: More developed style. More experience.
Better wording.
But: Holly might underestimate. Or drop too early.

Allen Knight vs. Dystopian
Who: Allen Knight
How: 70-30
Why: More consistently decent. Less misses.
But: Dys could come with more lines like the one
that's quoted above.

tyler vs. Ox
Who: tyler
How: 60-40
Why: More experienced. Very good style that hits.
But: Ox seems very motivated. Could be a good alias.

Muff vs. Joe Boston
Who: Muff
How: 65-35
Why: Muff's a vet. Has very good concepts and wording.
But: Lines are also long. Joe could capitalize on that

kami vs. Roll
Who: kami
How: 55-45
Why: kami's a good battler. Always comes with some shit.
But: Could be rusty. Roll might be better than I remember.

Arch. vs. Split
Who: Arch.
How: 60-40
Why: Arch's a known vet. Pretends to not give a fuck, but
still does. Good concepts
But: Split is elevating fast. Might catch upsets along the way.

Defiant vs. NaymikZ.
Who: Defiant
How: 60-40
Why: I know him. He has bars that can beat most, but some-
times not the wording.
But: Nay might be an alias. Might be creative, because his
name seems longbar-ish.

Dominate vs. Grave Diggs
Who: Dominate
How: 70-30
Why: Dominate is a known force. Quite good with wordplay.
Pretty creative. Technically sound.
But: Grave might be a good alias, because his name's not
too bad.

Mr. DV vs. Knucklehead
Who: Knucklehead
How: 60-40
Why: More experience.
But: DV might be an alias. Knuckle might have problems
flipping the name and has personals against him.

Jay vs. RPK
Who: RPK
How: 55-45
Why: Dropped solid in the BA Tourney. Good setups, solid
wording.
But: Close. Jay's new too, but not bad either.

Vinzr vs. Tridium
Who: Vinzr
How: 60-40
Why: I've seen him before and thus, he should be more
experienced.
But: Tri might be an alias.

Beretta vs. megatron
Who: Beretta
How: 80-20
Why: I like his name more.
But: That's not a good basis to predict a battle on. Plus,
megatron is not too shabby either.

Mac vs. bleak
Who: bleak
How: 60-40
Why: Has been tutored. Has been around longer.
But: Mac hasn't battled yet. Might be an alias.

mdesanto vs. Hello Kitty
Who: HelloKitty
How: 60-40
Why: mdesanto didn't drop too good. Hello seems confident.
But: That might be without skill to back it up. Plus, mdesanto
said he keyed last week if I remember correctly.
