good read. i enjoyed the commentary. well done. king ra vs mike was a classic moment. two heavyweights of the mod world, face to face. i love it. i think pancake brah was a great addition to the mag this week. well done, very interesting. pancake brah, what is a troll? truly? someone who out writes the competition and goes 1-2 in the power ranks the whole way through a season? 14 and 3? while you no show 5 times and duck pink slip battles and discuss "boarding personality"?
@Mike Wrecka. yo If you let me interview somebody I won't let you down. trust me
@Certain. yo no orange for october?

what a travesty last week @NYCSPITZ. i had the halalh on deck nigga if you would've won, lets get up i lost my phone

anybody interested in dropping a comment on the verse loosely based on element of "Sand" go here; http://www.netcees.co/showthread.php?t=26770

Again, well done. magazine was top notch, reviews was a little undercooked not bad, not bad at all

Don't care if it was positive or negative. Thank you. @oats thanks you. I'm not an alt for him................

Dope mag. Needs formatting, and some songs thrown in :)

Good read though, skipped to all the parts I saw my name at, but I will probably.come back to read the entire thing right before writing

@Adonis props on saving the league last season. I can see you're still a little worn out from it. I look forward to or next matchup

@Lucifer don't forget to drop chief

It's not a diss or praise. Your styles are just very, very different.

It's a very different skill set. Plus I'm a very competitive person.

Skill set is the same. You can write or you can't. The only change is the competitive impetus. I just fail to see much difference aside from motivation and trying to win the conceptual battle.

To me the difference is that 90% of Open Mic verses are rambling and all over the place. Some writers do that spectacularly, like Darth Yoda. Other writers, like myself, just don't have much to say about themselves. Yes, you can tell a story just for the Open Mic section, but does anyone really?

I've seen a lot of great Open Mic writers struggle in topical battles, and the reverse is even more true.

i posted three songs with this. maybe they arent showing up for you.

does anyone actually listen to the music?

Certain · 10-23-2013, 10:52 AM

I do, when I'm not familiar with them.

Ghost1 · 10-23-2013, 10:52 AM

I think you're overgeneralizing open mic. There's plenty of 'topical' type of verses in the forum. It is more freeform I guess but a talented writer is a talented writer. A sub par writer is a sub par writer. Water, when cold, becomes ice in my tumbler.

oats · 10-23-2013, 01:32 PM

Good mag. Never distinguished between open mic and topicals before tbh, but I can see Certain's angle. Not sure if I espouse it; to me open mic is just a place to post topicals and/or flexes.

oh and I'm not vivid. my only alias here is bags.

Diode · 10-23-2013, 01:48 PM

i'm here for the gangbang?

I realize that now. I thought it was your alias. I said a bunch of nice things about you! For no reason, apparently! You're welcome!

@Certain no I had not read any verses by Vivid. I thought it was Oats and had my analysis/preconceptions already.

I'll edit the predictions are work today.

@Frank you're a gem, brother.

oats · 10-23-2013, 03:17 PM

it's ok. apparently we have suspiciously similar IPs. @Vividlyvague needs to stop mooching my wifi I guess.

Mike Wrecka · 10-23-2013, 04:29 PM
