OPEN MIC FEATURE #1

"Brainstorm" written by Camp Bell

im bout to take the image of a villain wit hatred in em
who cant contain the viciousness of my aimless vision
its cloudy overhead and about to be raining diction
in methodical exchanges between my brain and digits
which ends up a dangerous explanation in a range of
writtens..
this could get insane in minutes as i engage my business
so these fakes can witness a great, with crazy swiftness
i just want to exchange my gifts, take the cake im given
wasted off jays of piff, take me to the stage, im chillen
im all in my phase, invader zin on that space invader shit
now its an invasion of these lames thats into anus tasting
friends..
i hope the gates of heaven bend cuz satan wont let em in
im in the basement on that cellar tip, elevating my lettering
patience is irrelevant, creating greatness is the evidence
be amazed with my elements or encased in aggressiveness
face lifts and necklace slits that'll spray sick with elegance
placement..
texting bomb threats to iraqi vets, a sect of saddams kin
...disrespect in vivid threads, matching stitch off Tron fits
check my drop in, its fresh as the black and red lebron Xs
i wanna be where accidents happening is prominent actions
i call it the projects..

What the readers are saying....

Split: "Multis were perfectly unforced at the start but content was lacking. I know u got it in u. Keep keyin."

PURE ENERGY: "You have many good ideas, but should stick with a concept expand on it and then move onto the next one with more fluidity, imo. Nice drop overall, Camp."

Zenland: "I honestly thought this was definatly a dope concept of just brainstorming and the flow of this was good as hell man. I kinda wish I would have thought of this idea first now lol. But definatly a good job broheim."



WEEK 3 RECAP


Vinzr serves up a thrashing in debut win, 7-1, over Aesthetic.- A well written verse can go a long way to getting votes & Vinzr (1-0) wrote up a solid piece that gave him his first victory in his debut, 7-1. Aesthetic (0-1) was dominated, also making his debut & will seek to recover this week against Split.


TYSON makes a statement over Red glare, with a 6-0 knockout.- This is the TYSON that many of us will see this season. After a week 1 no show & a break away from the league week 2, TYSON (1-1) served up a masterful KO victory over Red glare (1-1) who some would probably say didn't bring forth his best effort. He has a chance to take a step up this week against Vator while looks to continue his surge up the ranks against Vinz.


Mike puts a halt to The Vator's hot start, with a 5-3 win.- The Vator came in off to a solid start to the season, & one win would have put him in a contenders match. But Wrecka decided to start a streak of his own. In what was a really a toss up battle, Mike Wrecka (2-1) was able to snag the victory from Innovator (2-1), which gives him his first loss of the season. Mike now jumps into a contenders match this week while The Vator looks to get back on track against Red glare.


zygote impresses the voters once again, with a 5-2 win over c.d.m.- You can say V has had it tough for the first 3 weeks as he suffered another disappointing loss to zygote (2-0), who earns a #1 contender match this coming week. The Fastest Writer alive quickly dropped a verse and many of the voters were in favor of his piece, though c.d.m. (0-3) put up a respectable fight. It's only a matter of time before Veritas catches fire. We will see what happens this week.


One last vote decides another match for Genocide, in his 5-4 win over Camp Bell.- Most would have predicted this to be a one sided match but it certainly wasn't the case. Genocide (2-1) once again had to watch as his battle was decided on a final vote, this time in his favor over Camp Bell (1-2). Despite the late surge, Geno got his second win of the season and a spot in the contenders match. Camp Bell decides to take a break this week, but will be back in action next week.


pohfig pulls off a stunner in a classic throwdown over dead man, 5-4.- This must be a possible string of what is to come this year for pohfig (3-0). Last week, he nabbed a tie breaker vote to sneak by Genocide & once again that was the case in this bout. dead man (2-1) & pohfig both but up spectacular verses & the votes went back & forth until the 9th and final vote came in. Many expected dead man to be damn near unbeatable this season but no one expected pohfig to surge this quickly. The win gives pohfig a title shot this week. Can he pull off another solid victory?


Frank cruises to an easy victory over Zenland, 7-1.- When the dust cleared & the smoke settled, Mr. Cherry stood with just one scratch & his eyes set on his next goal: the AOWL Championship. Frank (3-0) increased his voting edge this season to 16-1, and dismantled the up & comer Zenland (1-2), 7-1, and now seeks to continue his dominant string in the coming title match. The Zenmaster couldn't match the creativity of Frank though he put together a pretty good piece. With two losses in a row, he looks to get back into the win column this week against rival bleak.



A Word With The King: Discussion with Camp Bell.


KING KEITH: As always, introduce yourself to our readers, homie.


CAMP BELL: yooo, its the rhyme messiah aka mr. fuck yo style, the boy, CAMP!


KING KEITH:Also known as Wax Melts, right? Where the hell you get these nicknames from and how did the name "Camp Bell" come about?


CAMP BELL: lol word, wax_melts is my twitter handle, my nickname on the streets is Wax. iono, my big homie gave it to me when i was a youngin. Campbell is my last name, just split it in two for
the site...thought i was being creative


KING KEITH: Your name only makes me want to eat some soup to be honest, idk about how creative that is. Ha. How long have you been writing & is this your first time doing topicals?


CAMP BELL: been on/off since 09...lol soup...yes, this is my first time actually in a topical league, its a challenge cuz im way more interested into doing flex drops or a battle here and there


KING KEITH: Fresh on the scene. We're now entering the fourth week of the league. What is your take on it's management, activity & how do you feel about your progress so far?


CAMP BELL: I think you guys are doing an awesome job managing the league. The topics and matchups are on point. I've actually opted out this week to focus on the Ultimate Writer tourney but I'll be back when that's done. I think I've done better than I expected myself, the topics are tricky at times but its all a challenge I'm willing to accept. I'm actually impressed with the activity thus far, with it being topical based.


KING KEITH: Okay, so last week you lost a close one to Genocide, 5-4. How did you feel about your topic & what did you think of the results/critique?


CAMP BELL: I actually like the written topics rather than pictures. Words are so broad and gives us writers a better perspective IMO. Geno is a great writer, I actually thought he would've came better than he did but respect nonetheless. As far as critiques, I like to be told what I can improve on, the biggest one I think was to just focus and not be so concerned with the rhyming aspect. The results were accurate, I'm not one to take an L and cry about it. Let the voters speak, feel me? So big ups to geno for the win and I'll be back week 5, BTW...this weeks topic was dope as fuck!


KING KEITH: Nice, nice. Now this week features the first championship match of the season between pohfig & Frank. Who do you think will get the title? And aside from that match, which match ups are you looking forward to & what other predictions you have for this week?


CAMP BELL: Ooh, I think the boy frank may take this. He's a force. Matchups to watch out for? I'd definitely have to say frank vs genocide would be classic. But its strange to try and pick a match with it being topical, the battlers aren't really trying to snatch each others souls, feel me? Its more of who's writing is better, which makes this interesting. Its aside from the norm we know as "battling" predictions? I'm taking this whole shit over son! Lol JP none right now, just hope everyone shows up and puts out their best work. Oh. Add me for week 5 fam!


KING KEITH: Genocide is actually battling zygote in the #1 contenders match this week, lol. S'all good though, and I got you. So that ends our discussion for this session. Any shout outs & final thoughts you'd like to share, spill it.


CAMP BELL: S/O to knux left peck, I'm sure you don't get as much attention as the right one does, so...here's to you buddy! LMAOOO and also to the mods and Admins who make it all possible. Special S/O to the weed man who keeps the loud packs on deck, which helps me focus on writing! "Ask not what your league can do for you...but what you can do for your league" #waxout
