meh, i got mad writers block...

Bitch of the Week : nickenron
some might ask how he ever got into the league in the first place, the answer to that is that he was the only option. nickenron has been criticized many times for how little he knows about text battling, but we decided that atleast he is active and could be trusted to show each week. however as soon as the votes came in for his week one bout with doodydean this is what he had to say:

^ which reeks of bitchiness ladies and gentlemen. he was promptly shown the door, his battle closed, and his name removed from the ranks. however this wasn't enough, the very next day he had the audacity to try and vote on the leagues battles! the very league he had said was [quote]gay ass[unquote] only a day before. he says he doesn't like text.. but it seems his hole existence on this site is to meddle in text issues, which became especially apparent when he put the bitch in the chat thread later in the week. he just couldn't understand why he wasn't allowed to vote in the league he had dissed and left only a few days prior. congratulations nick.. you have well and truly earned the title this week. runner up goes to all those who no showed, especially westkeptsecret

you all put shit all effort into the league this week and you should treat others how you expect to be treated. let's see how this effects this weeks..

it's time to put last week behind us.. let's see how this weeks battles stack up

Predictions

Top Ten
by sp!t

1. Te Ora (3-0) vs. 2. Fohkus (3-0)

Here we have ourselves a clash of two egos. On one hand, Fohkus is creative and consistent, but, on the other hand, he lacks the charisma that makes Te Ora's verses so enjoyable to read. Either way, this will be an interesting battle. Fohkus came within one vote of beating Te Ora about six months ago, but Te Ora claimed he wasn't trying his best. Six months later, both of these emcees have evolved drastically. Unless Fohkus can dig up hard-hitting personals, I doubt his punches won't oust Ethan's bravado. Prediction: Te Ora.

3. prozpekt (2-1) vs. 4. da big glassman (2-1)

I find Da Big Glassman's verses to be unorganized at times, while Prozpekt's are at least comprehendable when they want to be. Prozpekt's last battle had him at a different structure, but his punches were pretty played out. DBG's last battle was impressive, but he could've done better. His punches sometimes stray so far from the actual diss just to execute a wordplay. Still, he has the edge on this one against Prozpekt. Prediction: da big glassman.

5. MIC REKKIN BASTARD (2-1) vs. 6. presyce (2-0)

This will probably be favorite match-up of the week. Here we have two emcees with two very similar styles. It's hard to pick one over the other, especially when they both have never faced each other before. As long as MIC REKKIN BASTARD doesn't bring his one-word rhymes with simple wordplays and maintains consistency, he should be able to conquer the Punchline Champion. Although he has improved vastly, Presyce needs to up the creativity this time. Prediction: MIC REKKIN BASTARD.

9. doodydean (1-1) vs. 10. Fletcha (1-2)

Fletcha has shown significant growth throughout this league, while Doodydean has switched his style up. It might be a little premature to say that Doodydean is falling off, but Fletcha has plenty of ammo for this battle. Doodydean is very active on the site and the fact that he's from the U.K. should make for good personals. It all comes down to how Fletcha utilizes the personals available to him. If he pulls through, it'll probably be only by a hair. Prediction: Fletcha.

Franchise Vs. Don methods Vs. Misunderstood

Still don't know who the fuck don methods is...but no the less it should be a good battle. Franchise is probaly motivated do beat his friend so probaly stop doing the weak shit he's being doin and get back how he use to be. Misunderstood will probaly not be use to the new anotha way of voting mainly on punches and will probaly lose. So this goes to franchise if dont methods doesnt suprise

V/Franchise

Pyro vs. Joe native

Native should take this easy, unless he ho-show's like last week he should have this in the bag...pyro's head i mean.

V/Native

Jonjonoyes Vs. Bob

The teacher vs. the student, should be an intersting battle with both trying their best. Bob has a tendancy of ho-showing...but probaly won't here and will drop a decent verse. If jon can get off the overusing cliches and get a hard punch in he should be able to take it.

V/JonJon

Mc jersey Vs. Menace

should be a decent battle, Jers is a little flaky his only shot in this battle is to be consitent with his punches. He could command and an upset but i doubt he will menace should be safe he has a good drop.

V/Menace
