This nigga Vator. Lol. @Adonis are you referring to a site vs site topical battle? If so, idk how that would work really. I guess the admins from this site would have to put something like that together.

Cereal_Killa · 03-28-2013, 06:28 AM

just read zygote's verse..
I see how it is, shit has officially became real..

It's play time :)

Mike Wrecka · 03-28-2013, 08:01 AM

site battles = an incredible waste of time

everyone votes for their own sites representatives. its a cluster fuck

IamBenT · 03-28-2013, 08:58 AM

A topical is your exploration of a topic... I feel that you have to put forth a clear thesis or argument when doing a topical. It's an argumentative essay, in rap form. Still expect you to use metaphors, similes, and other such rhetorical devices, as well as concrete examples. Those are the best topicals. Edutainment of sorts and something that can really change your perspective. I think "New World Water" by Mos Def or "Reagan" by Killa Mike. When judging a topical verse, I look first for the thrust (what are you saying), then the style, voice, and devices (how did you say it). Slightly different criteria from judging a story, where the focus is more on plot development, characterization, dramatic tension, symbolism etc.

That being said, I would be fascinated to see an "all-topicals, all day" type of league. However, I don't think I would participate in such a league lol.

We've done it before but added all fazes. So a few regular battles and a few topical battle. Who's the admins? Ima set this up. Basically something like top 6 people from each site battle for bragging writes. Maybe we can add actual songs too, like recordings as a battle. Get @ me, shit is fun

We don't wtf??? We've had site battles on our site where our members unainmously would vote us as the loser. I do know that other sites vote for themselves. Were too old for that shit though, we let the real man win

IamBenT · 03-28-2013, 11:24 AM

@Adonis, I hate the topic we got man. Just sayin lol

Mac · 03-28-2013, 11:33 AM

Zen · 03-28-2013, 11:38 AM

Frank · 03-28-2013, 12:14 PM

League Vs League would be dope; But let us solidify this site with a season first; and let their league start up again.

Focus on the AOWL. This league is like a site battle in itself.

That's it exactly.. U express ur voice on the matter with concious n direct points to sell that view/belief..

Where as a story has characters n dialogue etc.. Whether their is a point behind it or not..

Thanx mos def is a topical master "life in marvolous times" hands down my favourite topical track ever..
