** Intro - My Brothers Keeper Tag Team Tournament **

Hey guys Incredible here interested in this tourney for sure and happy to help and take part in this, even if its just for the mags, I may not be doing one every round but I decided to put a little somthing together for the first one, just a shorty. We got a lot of really good teams here, a lot of unexpected teams, teaming up here. Most surprised about GhostBoston and Sex Symbols to be honest. Both are going to be interesting to see for sure, dug back a little bit and couldnt really find much from big baby and Pan, maybe I wasnt looking in the right spot, So thats an interesting team too. A couple really strong teams, that are expected to go far. I feel like if everyone tried and took their time, that this could really go anyway and looking forward to how it all pans out. So lets get into this.



** My Brothers Keeper - Predictions **

Most Hated vs Droppin Bombs Stackin Bodies:

I think this is going to be a real close match up here, Body has been stepping it up and a few other people have noticed to, bombz always come with some good shit. Think that Lenox and bleak will have to step it up a little bit to get the W here, but if they can do that, it'll be a real close battle. But for me in the end I got Droppin Bombs Stackin Bodies taken this in the end. good luck guys.

Blue Waffle vs Not Showing:
This is a real tough battle for Not Showing, going to be interesting to see how much they can step it up, which I feel like they will need to do a lot in order to pick up this win. Not downplaying anyones skills here but blue and muff been on a hot streak and muffs only loss in awhile was against the guy he is teamed up with. So with that being said I think Blue Waffle will take this pretty easy. Best of luck to both teams.

Something Old vs Sex Symbols:

This should be interesting for sure, Aero and Zelph have that always confident factor, if they can translate that extra confidence into their verses I think it could be close here. But if they slack off at all I think des and nik will catch them and take this. None of these battlers have been super active with Des and Nik being a little bit more experienced and track record for going far in tourney I'm going with Something Old picking up the win here. Either way I am looking forward to this one for sure and good luck guys.

Cashtration vs Finnys Pizza Toppings:

Whoa, this is going to be a brawl, knuckles to knuckles. Probably going to be the best battle of the round and the one battle a lot of people are going to be waiting to read. Cashius coming back for his first battle since beating his tag partner in the Winter Classics, we will see if he starts back on a good note, no slacking can be had from ethier side, cause both bring some very create bars, Diablo has a comical factor that could play a part in this if he can pull it off the right way with some awesome creativity, hope this battle turns out to be as awesome as I think it will and best of luck to both team. I got this going either way, toss up for sure.

mustachiaa vs Akbar:

I am still a little bit skeptical about big baby and Pan actually showing up. No offense meant and I am sure you have the skill to do this. Just worried about if they have the will or the want to do this. They are in for a tough battle for sure though. Barcotic has been staying active and not really lacking in many areas, AK coming back for his first battle in a little bit may have a little rust. But dont feel like Pan and BB are going to captilize on that. Really no offense meant to you guys, just how I feel about the battle. I got Akbar taking this pretty easily, maybe I'll get proved wrong. Good luck guys.

Ghost Boston vs Double G’s:

A interesting battle here that is for sure, with Cred and Orc never lacking in the creativity and crowd pleasing bars, its going to be interesting to see how much effort Ghost puts into this, I think JB is going to tell himself he needs to step it up here and I hope he realizes that and can put out some fresh creative bars. Both teams have the potential for sure just for me in the end I got Double G's taken this. Good luck to both.

Thank you for asking. I am two months deep into the Jitsu, and I am falling in love. I will also let you all in on a little secret. I am currently 30000 words into my next novel. On June 22nd my family and I are going on a road trip. The plan is to head westward and stop in Abilene Texas. Two characters in the book will live there. I need to absorb the spirit of the place. There is also a statue called "Jacob's Dream" that would be excellent to take a picture at. Google it. We will then proceed to Roswell, then eventually end up at Zion National Park. I am going to conquer my fear of heights by climbing Angel's Landing. Google it. Thank you for asking.

What do you think of the current text state of NC's? We have been running strong....Tourney, League, League & Tourney, all going pretty successfull so far, How do you feel about it and whats your take on the current text scence?

Good question. I am admittedly frustrated with the "text" scene, as I have always been considered an outsider to it. I find this sentiment ironic and if I actually gave a crap, insulting. Think about it. I am arguably first ballot hall of fame discussion. I have been "texting" for almost 20 years. I have always strove to push the envelope. I have an unique style that is far ahead of its time, so it is misunderstood and thus slept on. I have come to accept this.

What I do not accept is how everyone copies the same styles, be it battling or open mics. Everyone wants to be Karaoke. Everyone wants to be Deadman. I read things that people think are dope, and I catch myself thinking: "How?". Suffice it to say that this is how it has always been, and probably how it will always be. Thus my logical provides the answer of: The same as it has always been.

Now onto the current Tag Tourney, we got a lot of really good Teams here, anyone you are excited about reading? or any teams you think will flop?

I think that this gimmick has potential. If people show it will work. If people no-show, it will flop. I really like the idea of having "odd couples" team up. I am also very surprised that this is just now happening.

Whats your opinion on the two Rival Teams? GhostBoston and Sex Symbols, do you think they are going to mesh together well with having past bad blood?

see my previous answer. I really like how ya'll matched them up, but Boston Joe looks like a sloppy Snorlax. So I doubt it. I am not sure who is on Sex Symbols. I really like the Finny's team name.

Who do you think will make it to the finals?

I honestly do not know. If I had to bet I would say the KAraoke Infiltration team.

Will you send the winners of this tourney a copy of your book as a prize?

I will. I promise.

Anything else you would like to say? final thoughts? Shout outs....btw thanks again

No problem. Thank you for the honor. In closing: consider in your minds how I revolutionized the discussion forum and pushed it forward to the next levels. why would I not do the same when it comes to battles and opens? Why do you espouse Ill-nik-a? Dude is terrible. I told him that he looks like he sells bootleg DVDS in the subway. Just go back and read my work and see that I am, as always, many steps ahead and waiting on you. I love you. Good day.

** Outro **
Well guys thats all I got for this one writing this little mag got me even more intrested in doing this and even more hype to reading these battles. I will be voting on them to help with that, everyone needs to do their part too, damn near all the active battlers are in this tourney so that shouldnt be a problem. I am of course not happy about having less people in the BAL but I understand the focus on this that is needed, tough competition for sure and good luck to everyone involved, not worried about any no shows so lets get this in and get it done right, peace and dont forget to remember the fallen soldiers on this day of rememberance, be greatful and stay positive.
