The Elements Tourney

prviews

The Elements Previews

Cashius vs. Veritas

Cashius is the S&F champ so a win from him is expected, Veritas is a good writer but he's more of a topical/storyteller guy I do believe rather than a Swag and Flow guy.

Cashius 80/20

PancakeBrah vs. Untold

Pancake is a great swagger and flower and I've never seen Untold do any swaggage and flowage so a win from Pancake is my guess.

Pancake 70/30

SiK vs. Mike Wrecka

Now that SiK has learned what a swag and flow verse is he should wreck some shit up. However Mike is a great writer but I've never seen him do one of these.

DRAW

Pryde vs. Metts

Metts should take this. He's never done one of these but he's got it. he shows flow in his reg verses and of course big joe got swag. Never seen pryde do one.

Metts 65/35

Cymbicort vs. Nigma

Nigma is a good writer and I've never read a cymbicort verse.

Nigma 60/40

Genocide vs. Skepto

Geno needs this to stay alive in this tournament. Obviously skepto does too but its more important to geno in my opinion. Plus I think Geno is just more skilled in this area of writing.

Geno 75/25

Hush vs. Innovator

Hush is dope in S&F. I have never read anything from Innovator.

Hush 70/30

ill nik-A and Bags get byes due to Rayge and Knuck double no showing I think? So keep that in mind.

Utmost vs. Rawn Macdon.

rawn has this. Good writer. Utmost is solid but I dont think he can bring the type of swag and flow that rawn can.

Rawn 70/30

Xnub vs Loast

Loast should win this if he posts, but I think he will no show

Xnub 70/30 by no show

Atomic vs. Flo Real

Never seen either do swag and flow but by style I'd give Atomic the edge by an ok margin. Either can win.

Atomic 60/40

battle of the week


geno vs sik

geno

Zero to Hero.


Hardcore in the streets, dumb ass did whatever it took
A crook, who always hooked school and he never gets shook
Look, the type of dude who's thoughts weren't cleverly put
Cause he would hit the drugs hard, but never the books
So fellas smiled in his face and talked shit when he passed
Even the toughest niggas refrained from kicking his ass
He was the ice pick, cycle and axe, even had death in his eyes
Message was fine print, fuckin with me -it'd be better to die
As time went by, eventually new people moved into his realm
The mafia type, who took the citizens on a visit through hell
Criminal bells rang, his corners weren't as popular anymore
Forgot his purpose, was torn, nobody out -not a word on a porch
So his burden was warped, an idiot who's trapped in his head
Stressed, cause now he walks around without a crowd to impress
But his true identites about to get test, as he gets approached
Cloaked, from every angle by the people he knows
Evils been grown, and they need his fucking help for a change
To wander free through locked doors fore they dwell in thier cage
His imbecilic self is insane, strange, but he says he'd be down
And tells the rest to gather all the fucking weapons in town
His leaderships become exceptional now, a true general born
I mean -he won a lot of fights, but never the wars
A different concept has been formed, so he's mappin the block
Even the neighborhood watch threw distractions at cops
Cause if the bomb happens to drop, they don't want interferance
And for the first time ever, numbnuts said something coherant
Looked up at the clearance, that's the bldng the enemies moved
They crept silent, threw grenades and heard a deafening boom
The next day it was said in the news, illegal crime ring is destroyed
As time goes by, every throne finds a new king to employ


sik

Night rose, flakes are falling shadowing his sight post like a white ghost
His canteens ice, froze, he sighs: “great”, then hydrates with some light snow
Still, with his eyes closed he tries to rest, a tired mess tucked inside his vest
No fires left, frost is in his hair with the frigged air that’s engulfed his entire chest
Desires swept, his match was met, at the bottom standing at disasters steps
But passions kept, he sets off remembering the pep talk and tears that the pastor wept
The thought is sober…See, Sergeant Graves just had a battle and lost his soldiers
His haunted soul hurts, cause all he can picture..is them, disfigured and crossing over
He gains composure, bullets fly in the foreground; he has 7 mags each with four rounds
Looking for more now, searching the dead with evil lurking its head, he’s northbound
Ammunitions restored, proud, Sarge finds a grenade, and a soldier left to die in a grave
There’s a pulse! Light as it may, he’s alive, and as a soldier, ready to fight for the brave
He revives him in place..and they march to the fight, leaving behind the dark of the night
They embark to the site; led with pride towards the gunpowder that sparks n ignites
Reaching a distance that’s safe they commence fire while the enemy’s stricken with strafe
In a subliminal state and in urgency; he nervously fires 10 bullets, but misses with 8
His only soldier takes a hit to the face, 1 round n he’s gunned down, submission to fate
Graves shoots magazines number four…five, through the blood and the gore thrives
The type to see the fear through your eyes and intensify it with an overwhelming war cry
He’s a fighter, had bouts, so the conflict angers him, he detours from the sad route
Full of hate n being mad shouts: “frag out!” and grabs the last rounds from his mag pouch
Unloaded the clip in a massive rage, masses slain, no chance of stopping, there was no sign
Yet it’s a shame, Graves should have disengaged, but was lost in the war with his own mind
When the smoke cleared and with hope near, he discovered it was friendly fire the whole time



verse of the week

He loved that bench. Right next to the ferris wheel.

He wore a big coat, leather hung at his knees,
in Summer time, with a sweater tucked underneath.
At Coney Island, plucking his teeth and sucking a lime.
A former veteran, sunk in his seat. "What a wonderful time."
he said to himself to the ire of passerby's,
but with the sun at it's peak he never grew tired of batted eyes,
"I've seen your type a hundred times," he laughed and sighed.
He wore boots strapped and tied, both marked
with white graffiti of his own pen and type of thought,
next to a guitar case, with a Stratocaster, wires taught,
and one bottle of gin from his own private stock.
It was Hendricks, he preferred the bottle's aesthetics,
and it's produced mental fog begetted a loss of all he regretted.
Today he kept the cap virgin, unbroken and fine,
because nowadays fair goers never provoke enough for his mind.
There was a forgone time he'd drink, strumming a string,
every visit, and even to skeptics it was something to see.
He preferred Hendrix. Not for the flash, but the meaning,
the soul and the skill, spoke to his inside's caterwaul screaming.
Making close to fifty dollars a day, he was fine and carefree,
on a bench with a six string, carrying melodies,
with no problem searching a barren well to find canaries.
But now he mostly sits, with a greying beard of homely wisps.
Sixty years of life will make motion quit, and his bones are stiff.
"This night is setting slow." The bench's birch agrees,
"I should be heading home." To theses new strangers,
these are just senseless words to heed.
But it's their loss, to be the cause of a dream's end.
Honestly they don't deserve to see the way he makes strings bend.

no show shine

cashius
I got a letter from my son...

He's a college bother at my alma mater...I'm proud as I'm probably able
That's part of the favor...for me to pay for four years of his marketing major
He says he's doing well, but school is hell. I'm hoping it builds character
He's the type of kid, give him the world on a silver platter...he'll still swear at ya
Apparently he's got a girlfriend now. He says she's truly perfection
She's a loser, I'm guessing...but I'm just PRAYING their using protection
The letter ain't bout the hunny, he's out of money...needs me to float some G's
I guess waking at 9, smoking some weed, and 12 credits don't come cheap
I wanna tell him to fuck off and get a job. I swear...It's honestly true
But I'd like to digress...I write him the check. That's what a father should do


I got another letter from my son...

It's been a few years since my last letter...the fuckin' boy's a mess
It sounds like he's putting that degree to use...cashing his unemployment checks
He's spending his free time on drums and weed. Conducting a hazy opus
It may be hopeless...I don't think there's many employers hiring lazy tokers
He says I'm a grandfather. But not to worry, he'll save me the stress...
Thank GOD that part-time tattoo artist was either shook or crazy...took his baby and left
I'm not surprised when he asks for cash. I mean, I gotta believe...
Awhile in court and child support don't come easy, honest, or cheap on $300 per week
Fuck it, I send the money. What if he's on a "lose your life" fringe
Look, I don't care what rules you site... I'm just trying to do the right thing


I found a letter from my son...

This one reads "Dear ol' Dad...I don't want to make this cliche.
and really, I hate to seem lame. But I just can't take it these days
You think sending some checks could mend up my wreck...Fuck it your wrong
Really?...I couldn't get nothing so small as a fucking phone call?
Since I was in the cradle you rocked...you've bailed me out. Don't label me shocked
Mailing me guap whenever I want...That's what you call an enabler, Pops
I know it's morbid, but hey...no more chunks of cash when I'm stored in a grave
With me gone...just think of how much more you can save in your 401K...

So, alas...you're son is through.
Oh, and thanks for last few sums of loot...I bought a brand new gun to use"

Interview with Joe metts

I am here with Joe Metts, ripped his way to the finals this year. metts how you doing brop?

Im good. Watching the O's. On the clock. Doesn't get better lol

metts dawg you was the underdawg coming into this, dont know if it was a skill thing but it def was a show or no show thing, most cats forgot you can write at the level ur obviously consistently writing at. whats ur words on that?

I've battled forever. Always at a high level. Reached a point where HOF and accomps didn't matter. Was at that point for awhile. But then you start hearing how your living in the past and can't get it done no more. Kinda lights a fire. Cause I've always won. Even when i just battled sparingly. Felt like SC was my time to prove that. Won't matter unless i get past navajo imo. Should be fire tho. And to everybody thats surprised i didn't no show, me too. Elements tourney knows how i really roll.

lmao yeah i was basing the elements on the fact u showed ery round for the sc, damn it joe you got me. but speaking of karpis the dude gets alot of hate how you feel about him? and about him being in the finals 2 years in a row?

He can battle. Flips alot of easy/old things. Usually makes it relevant. Good for him. He wins. People love his style. No hate towards the dude. Don't know him on any personal level cause he doesn't interact. More of a discussion creeper ala karaoke and bey. But he seems decent enough to me. As far as him having a chance to repeat. It says alot. It says he consistent and it says hes nice. I been said how can bags and bey be a hall of famer without karp. He's the better of that trio.
He's a faggot this week tho.

I agree about karp not being in hof, but yo what about after the sc, if you win you going to show more and keep up this run you have going or was you just here to prove a point?

To prove a point. But im highly considering making a nbl run when it comes back. Win the title and try to win the league. Don't see battling in BA or anything unless its a random pic battle or something. I'll do them ppvs when you get them going. But not gonna be gung ho about battling at all lol
fuck the ba bro and you should make a run int he nbl, what you think about the state of text in general right now, i mean you been here for a while seen different eras seen it change whats ur opinion on it now.
People try to act too cool for this shit now. Way better back in the day. Great competition. People voted more. Fresher verses. The guys that are good now are good tho. Would be good at any time. Those guys are just few and far between.

I agree, whats fucked up is how you going to act to cool for something when your on a website made for what you are acting to cool for? shits wierd. but aight give us your final thoughts and shotu outs so i can smoke and play the game lol

Shout out to dohpe. Past and present. Except cane. Shouts to everyone voting and having fun with this shit. Voting fair and not being politicians. Shouts to you and meth for cleaning up knucks horrible modding job. Shouts to strik as well. Great battle. Smoke up my dude. Good looks on the interview.



Top 5 om


1. PancakeBrah
probably one of the most consistent writers i see around any more, guy has alot of skill with the pen and shows it with each verse

2. Genocide
this dude is like a mixture tween joe budden and royce da 5'9 with that kind of writing ability its hard not to think he is a monster

3. Vulgar
I alwyas think vulg is underrated him and evis both but vulgar has bars and can kill an om any time he chooses to

4. Ill Nik-a
this dude has surprised me, i knew he could battle but he is getting at om's alot more lately and the thing is there dope as fuck, steady consitent writer

5.oats
doesnt write enough imo, one of my favorites easily but he is lazy as shit at times but when he does show its always nasty as fuck
