~No Show Shine~
Nigma – Fuck off. I thought this verse was a throw away, and the fact that you quickly wrote one so effectively was highly impressive. The imagery from walking through the jungle to a black man, WTF? In haiti, why the black guy gotta be hungry for human? To the salivating over a chicken to a bloody bath tub from the writers jugular. This verse was dope my man. No fat on it ironically. You penned something quick that struck a deep tune of cannibalism that was not overpowering or off turning, just the right amount of grotesque. Nothing about this verse did I not enjoy. Start to end. Honestly one of my favorite from you.
The Law or LA – First off, I am going to go back and read your verse last week because It is evident you are no slouch. As I'm writing this other battles are open and you are 2-0, I was originally not going to put you in a contenders match because two no show wins aint shit, but if you dropped two solid verses as this one, then it don't fucking matter. As for this verse.... This verse was not perfect by all means, but the good far outweighed the bad in my eyes. You have solid rhymes although a few grammatical errors had the record skip if you will. That, along with a few predictable bars due to your rap-like style, which I don't mind and prefer as long as it's not simple shit. You structured a character and built him, well, not from scratch because I feel like you used the dude from this movie as a reference some what. So, not from scratch, but using a recipe, you were still able to mold a figure and a mind state in my head and close extremely strong. I for one enjoy when a writer embraces the darkside because that's much better then the sentimental heart felt verse that is far more common for some reason. In any case, I think this verse well deserved a win over half the league this week, no show or not.
Asylum – This was DOPEEEE. You went full steam dark and executed nicely. You had great detail and imagery that opened up your play book of rhymes. You progressed an actual story smoothly aside from not having much in lieu of character build up. You wrote created a twisted scene with gruesome happenings about these voodoo Dr.s if you will. I enjoyed this a lot. It is actually one of my favorite three from this week along with Franks fucking novel and Nigma's short and sweet verse. You have improved your mechanics though, immensely I must say. I think you turned the corner at the right time, and if you can keep focused and not over think shit in the playoffs, continuing to set aside time to write, you can actually make a deep run. G/Luck brotha man.
~Week 15 Prediction~
Produced by:Asylum = SY & Adonis = AD
CopyPat vs. JESODIST
SY: I think
CopyPat will take this
70/30. He’s got the more refined approach and writes more solid pieces. Jesodist mechanics are top notch but he will not take this match on mechanics alone.
AD: Copy will have the more intriguing and groundbreaking concept as he always does in just about any battle. Jes seems like the talent is there but a bit raw. Copy is his own worst enemy, but I think he edges this one out in a decisive win.
Copy 73%
Mr. J vs. Godcomplex
SY:Mr. J went into hiding recently, I’m not really sure if he’s feeling it or what’s going on with him.. but Godcomplex is in it to win it this season. I just don’t see J coming at top speed right now.
Godcomplex 90/10.
AD: I nearly put this as the final contenders match because it's just deserving, but the two who made it there had the larger win streak and produced some solid verses as well. This will be close, not sure what Sy talking bout. Mr. J been dropping to the skill of his talent, and in this case, will need to produce Jay circa season 3 in his Title Streak to get the W. In the end though, God has too much depth for Mr. J to counter in my eyes.
Buddha 70%
Exis vs. 2tripple0
SY: This will be a decent matchup fsho, if 2k works on his approach and writes a solid piece he could take it. But chances are
Exis will drop what it takes to get him the win this week. I’ll call it
70/30.
AD: I think 2k has the opportunity to pick up a win if he stays focused, good luck with that though. I see Exis has already posted, I'm sure 2k will sooner then later. I got
Exis 77%
Rakontur vs. Frank
SY: Well from last week Rak didn’t seem to put in nearly as much effort as
Frank did. I’ll put this one at a
80/20. If Rak were to write a fully developed piece I’d put it about 50/50 because of Frank’s knack for antics and long syllable counts lately.
AD: I don't know who Rak has faced, but it's highly unlikely he has faced a writer like Frank yet, so this will tell a lot about him in my eyes. The only thing is, Frank will drop much longer then Rak and even if Rak drops a conceptual work with dope a flip a decent execution, franks length might still get him the win.
Frank 70%
Timeless vs. MMLP
SY: Timeless has potential, he’s put forward some sick work in his topical career. I just feel
mmlp is on a hotter streak right now. I’d put this at
60/40 for mmlp, depending on his sobriety level when he writes his verse!
AD: This will be a quick read to say the least. I think Time has lost focus more then not this season, almost like he's barely trying. Maybe he catches lightining in a bottle this week because he wants the playoffs, but maybe not. Either way.
Time 52%
Vividlyvague vs. Flo Real
SY: I think vv has the potential to knock out just about any top tier writer on his best day, if he stays focused. Flo has some sick flow, appropriately enough, but vivid gets in depth with his storylines. I think
VV will take it this week @
51/49.
AD: Fuck, Flo has faced a murderers row on the real. He draws another potential champion here. Flo has the potential to win a lot here. He's not elite, but if he executes a clear topic he can beat people. Vivid is on right now though. Nearly making the final Contenders match, his blade seems almost fully sharpened off of a what, a year hiatus.
Vivid 75%
Contenders: Asylum vs. The Law
SY: From what I’ve seen dude has flow, so I’m not going to touch this one. Best of luck to you, good sir.
AD: Hmmm. This battle is intriguing to me because not only does it hold extreme playoff implications, but both have dropped solid fucking verses in the past two to three weeks. I think Sy is coming into his own right now and will likely produce the better concept, but LA can write as well. This is a tough call.
Asylum 53%
Championship: (c) EtH vs. Nigma
SY: This one’s a toss up.. both are fully capable of beating one another. If both come as hard as they possibly can I think
Nigma will take this match like
60/40. But EtH is on a roll so the ball is in his court, he might push the limits with this next verse.
AD: A few weeks ago EtH snatched the belt from Nigma and each have been on a tear since. While I enjoy EtH, I think Nigma is more polished seems to take more time while writing then EtH, who, to me, seems like he's been squeaking by with quick writes. I got
Nigma in a close
