The Topical Tourney 2024




Welcome, boils and ghouls, to a tournament with quite possibly the least creative name of all NC history… The Topical Tourney 2024!

Yeah, we’re all well aware the name could be better, but with the disappointment following @Adverse announcement (and subsequent disappearance) - the prospect of getting a subforum, threads set, and magazine underway took priority over a tourney name. It simply is what it is. Only now it’s time to strap yourselves in… because this magazine will be nothing like you’ve had to endure for the past few years! You guys are the last bastion of text, the final keyboard warriors actively wearing off the letters on your return keys in the hopes of annihilating your opponent with your delicious man-poetry, the last throw of the dice before some of us decide whether to keep it going or hang it up. If this weird little inverted subculture of ours is to continue to exist, then it’s on YOU to help keep this alive. We need you to participate. We aren’t asking a lot of you, just check in and show up on time with a verse like you signed up for. Vote on the other people’s battles, make the vote as detailed as possible, and stick around even after you’re eliminated to help us close things out successfully. Be a man. Even if we aren’t sure you are one *cough* Candy *cough*. It’s been a while since there was activity of any sort around these parts, but if Diode is content to keep paying the light bill the least his squatters could do is use the electricity for a weed grow, right? That’s what this is really about, growth. Emergence. We’re hoping to see shoots of life taking the opportunity given and flourishing. I’m not entirely content to call this a newbie tourney given the longevity of some you involved, but let’s not overlook the fact that some of the established names in NC folklore are sitting this one out. This presents one of our eight with a prime opportunity to put their stamp on the tournament and take the entire thing. Many have never won a topical championship here. Even fewer have won a major topical tournament. If there was ever a time and place to change that notion, this is it right here. Your time is now.






Battler Bio’s


@Mike Wrecka - Mike is one of our battle-hardened veterans having endured plentiful seasons over NC’s rich history, and he has all the weapons in his arsenal to turn this into a complete bloodbath. A wily warrior in terms of both his mechanics and rhyme scheme, but also capable of switching his style up to nullify his opposition and that’s a tool very few can lay claim to in honesty. It shows his mastery of the craft, though perhaps even he himself would agree that he would have won a lot more were it not for himself holding him back. There have been long periods of absence from Mike, rather than him being an ever-present around the board, but he seems to being enjoying his writing again after a recent revisit to the rivalry between him and myself. I’m hopeful he sticks around here to show us exactly what he is still capable of.


@White_LGI: The fact Let’s Get It even signed up at all was somewhat surprising, given he’s predominantly known as a text battler (and troll) but a lot of those from the topical side of the website may not even be aware of his skill. I granted him a wild card entry into this format with the belief he could well prove the dark horse of the tournament if he can progress to its business end. The short format of only eight battlers could well play into his favour here, as a win in the first round would ensure him a place as a semi-finalist. While some may not be entirely sure how he will approach this, his text battle background shows that creativity and originality could be his strong suit. He definitely has the wording to make an impact, and will bring something different to the table in terms of his humour and approach. Rest assured, while White LGI may be new to the topical realm here, the guy has been around for years and is as seasoned as anyone signed in right now. The fact he’s in under his white alias shows he’s taking this serious too. I’m here for that. I’m old enough to have frequented UPN during my time too. I know you’re more than capable. “Let’s Get It,”.


@Mr. J - While Mr. J was a relatively late entrant to sign up, there’s no real question marks over his spot in this tournament. He belongs here. He’s an NC mainstay and Open Mic alumni for sure, perhaps not the first name down on the team sheet but in terms of being dedicated and inspired to turn up consistently - I can’t think of many battles offhand where Mr. J has failed to show up and show out. In face I’ve met Mr. J in a tournament finals before, and trust me… This guy can write. And quickly too. If you don’t already know what to expect from Mr. J, his shorter lined flow makes his writtens a breeze to read through and he couples that with a degree of technical skill that’s largely understated, and perhaps overlooked in truth, but nonetheless effective when he’s at his very best. He keeps his own pen sharp at all times by constantly jotting keystyles in the Open Mic Cypher or written sixteens posted as singular drops. He will understand exactly what he needs to produce if he’s to pull off an underdog win here. Don’t sleep on him, because I assure you the likes of Objective, Mike Wrecka and ? will categorically not be.

@Candy - What can we say about Candy that hasn’t been said before? Well, it is somewhat difficult given his longevity in the scene but I believe my pronouns are correct here. He is male. So there’s something new for you all I guess. Candy is perhaps better known to some of you who’ve been around a long time as Cereal_Killer, an old RSTL stalwart and possibly a former champion(?) if memory serves me correctly. Regardless, Candy is one of the few still around from those days of yonder with myself, and feels as familiar as an old friend. The fact that he’s still around after what must be close to a fifteen year tenure is testimony to his hard work and dedication to the craft. The huge question mark hanging over Candy is whether he can still produce work to the standard he could in RapMusic.com’s RSTL. Recent years have seen rough patches of inconsistency punctuated with glimpses of deft skill at times. This is someone who has been there, and done it, but whether he can still produce on the biggest stage at the business end of a tournament remains to be seen. He mom is a good writer, though, for sure. Maybe we should let her write his verses for this one.

@Objective - While we haven’t seen a great deal of writing from Objective in 2024, I do recall a more recent post in the past few months where he said he had been writing elsewhere - in a different format - but writing no less. If memory serves me correctly there was also a relatively recent Open Mic piece dropped, so once more we have a writer keenly honing his pengame and staying sharp during NC’s downtime. Will his time away from the topical scene here impact his overall writing ability in this format? I would imagine his time away has given him the chance to incorporate additional literary elements into his style, and I can’t imagine this will be anything other than beneficial for him in truth - though time will tell as we enter the opening round. This is a huge opportunity for Objective to show exactly what he’s learned and put it into practice. Make no mistake, he should be looking to progress to at least the semi-finals, if not make a finals appearance himself, and someone with his involvement and experience of the leagues here should definitely be looking to capitalise on the shorter format.

@Master Rock - We last saw Master Rock after he reached the 3-Way Finale to Season XI of the AOWL. While that one wasn’t to be for Rock, let’s not overlook the progression we saw from him in the twelve weeks prior - nor his run that extended into the Guerrilla Writing League because he was categorically on fire during that run and put together plenty of back to back wins. It’s no coincidence that this came during a purple patch for him as far as his writing goes, the lines were short and sharp, the flow vastly improved, the effort exerted notably kicked up a notch and it was evident he was trying harder than we had seen from him previously. If Master Rock can revisit that kind of form, he will prove to be a problem here and an outlier for winning the tournament. He was also the first person to sign up for this tournament, which again suggests he’s focused and eager to participate here. Don’t sleep.

@symetrik - Sym is one of my personal favourites involved in this topical tournament, not so much so from his past achievements, but for what he’s done in the (semi-recent) present. After signing into the Guerilla Writers League he took it upon himself to write verses against everyone who’s opponent no-showed. While that sort of dedication and initiative was welcomed, what was even more impressive was the way he began to utilise the topics for me personally. He didn’t just write to the topic provided, he immersed himself in them. He utilised the various aspects, interweaving them into his story with callbacks and references to the varied components within the picture and in truth, this was probably the best version of Symetrik I’ve seen here. We haven’t always seen eye to eye, in fact our first meeting probably wasn’t on the best terms, but long since then I’ve come to respect his craft more and for me personally the signs of a significant shift in talent were shown during his GWL run. It coincided with Master Rocks own trajectory too, with both having been involved in the same leagues at the same time, setting the two of them on a collision course we may potentially see explode into life this tournament.

@Etherwave - Last but not least, perhaps the most little known surprise entrant into our tourney here. While both Etherwave and White LGI are new faces to the topical scene here, in the case of Lets Get It we’re at least aware we have a former text battler who frequented the likes of RapMusic and UrbanProwlers. In the case of Etherwave however we know very little, aside from the fact she can’t spell the word “Interdimensionmal” according to her last Open Mic verse. I read that verse by the way, and enjoyed the poetic sentiment, it’s certainly different to what we’re perhaps used to reading on this side of the site but the fact it’s largely direct and has clarity in what is being said may serve you well in the tournament. The writers voice is particularly strong, no doubt, and is a strength you should play to here but you may struggle later on against some of the more technically proficient writers from what little I’ve seen… then again, you also mention that verse is something from near eight years ago, so perhaps you’ve improved further still from that point. You’re certainly different, and different isn’t always a bad thing. It gives your opposition another headache to think about if they plan on beating you, while granting you an element of surprise. Capitalise on that. You don’t owe any of these guys any favours.







Tourney Seedings


Let’s get straight into these seedings then, since I know everybody is waiting on them and wanting to see where someone like me places you all! I’ll try to give you some brief reasoning behind my decision(s) rather than this being a names-out-of-a-hat affair because this is largely just based on my preconceived ratings in my own mind and little more. We can start from the bottom up, to help build a little anticipation for those that gloss over just to find their own names. If you Ctrl+F to search the thread instead of reading the entire magazine then go fuck yourself. I spent a lot of time putting this together for you all. The least you can do is appreciate it for what it is. Anyway, let’s start with the bottom slots, because truly here they are awarded to the two people were perhaps least familiar with - Etherwave and White LGI - They almost have to be in truth, but purely based on the fact that we’re at least semi-familiar with White LGI as a text battler I have granted him the slight nod over Etherwave here.

8. @Etherwave
7. @White_LGI

With the remaining six battlers involved, based on what I consider their improvements, previous title match involvement, and individual likelihood of winning the tournament outright, I feel that Candy is then the next to be seeded given performances over the past 12-18 months.

6. Candy

Now, things do get slightly more difficult from this point out with out Final Five as all of these have actively participated in NC’s leagues, tournaments and open mic drops. There are, however, two of them that haven’t participated in as many as the others - be that for one reason or another - and those are Mr. J and Objective respectfully. While it’s a thin margin that separates these two for me, and both are actually quite well matched in terms of skill set, I do know that Mr. J has been actively writing and dropping here at NC consistently while Objective only returned to the fold relatively recently after a brief hiatus. It’s for this reason I’ve chosen to seed Mr. J over Objective here, with a slight edge towards Mr. J for him keeping his pen sharp (and he has appeared in a previous topical tourney finals match, giving him experience I don’t believe Objective has attained as of this post).

5. @Objective
4. @Mr. J

This leaves just three seeds needing placement. While @Mike Wrecka is potentially the most technically proficient writer of those remaining, which I place a lot of value on, I am also aware that his last registered win came over two years ago. There’s a lot of rust that could have been accumulated during that time, even though his recent Open Mic back and forth with me showed no signs of such, but I also have to factor in the remaining competition and their own achievements. This makes it more difficult to justify seeding him ahead of the opposition when both of them have taken huge strides in improvement to cement their spots with guerrillas (GWL puns always intended).

3. @Mike Wrecka

So how do I split the top two? For my money what we saw from Symetrik toward the end of the GWL run was him at his very best, arguably better than we had been seeing from Master Rock depending on your preference, though it’s also worth noting that this coincided with Master Rock’s run to the finals of the AOWL Season XI which no doubt had his complete focus at that time. The experience of reaching a tournament finals can be daunting, especially your first, and the pressure you can place on yourself to perform can be immense… but he’s been there before. Right at the business end of a tournament. @symetrik has been an in-season AOWL champ previously, but a seasonal champ after 16 weeks or more of competition is a different beast, in my honest opinion, and while this was tough - it’s for that reason I’ve decided to grant @Master Rock the #1 spot this tournament. Partly the massive improvement we saw prior, partly him reaching the tourney finals of the last season, partly his run in the GWL where he showed out yet again. It’s literally all there is to it, I couldn’t be mad at either of those guys being #1 and #2 interchangeably. You could even throw Mike Wrecka amongst those guys and list then 1-3 however you wanted and I doubt anyone would disagree. This tourney is wide open. You have at least six NC veterans involved with points to prove, and two complete wildcards we have never seen compete in this format so we’ve no idea what to expect from them, its anyone’s game. The title is right there for the taking. It’s on YOU guys to settle who wants it the most!

(6) Candy vs. Mike Wrecka (3)
(5) Objective vs. Mr. J (4)





Battle Previews

Etherwave vs Master Rock


Etherwave enters the opening round up against the #1 seed and AOWL Season XI finalist Master Rock! This battle may well prove a stylistic clash in truth, with Etherwave adopting a more introverted poetic stance and writers voice while Master Rock offers a more traditional take on the topic familiar to the readership. In truth this may prove closer on paper than first thought, with both preferring natural fluidity to their verses over the more overtly technical rhyme mechanics and scheming we see from certain writers. The concept behind their takes could be instrumental in the winner of this battle, with creativity and originality proving the deciding factor between them both. Their seedings may be far apart, but this could well prove the closest matchup of our opening round here. I’m not expecting there to be a blow out by any means.

White_LGI vs Symetrik


The interesting thing with this particular matchup, for me, is the unpredictability factor. No one knows what to expect from White_LGI as he hasn’t taken part in the topical format before, while Symetrik himself has shown that he can often operate outside of the box when required and turn the topic completely on its head. White_LGI may well bring a comedic take on the topic, different from what the topical realm would usually be accustomed to, but if he can couple that along with the wording of quotables and execution he’s familiar with from text battling - I can certainly see him giving a solid account of himself here. The smart money perhaps favours Symetrik given his seeding and experience, but White_LGI as an outside bet could well be worth a punt. I trust he will show up and not run for the hills the second he sees the topic and decides it isn’t for him after all. Lol.

Candy vs Mike Wrecka

It’s almost crazy to think that in 2024 we have two text battlers still around that have over two decades worth of experience between them. The weirder thing is, for me at least, I don’t think they have ever faced each other before. This could be a first. Candy is from RapMusic, Mike from DaUnderground, two rap battle forums sadly consigned to the great graveyard of text. Yet here we have two of their homesites more prominent figures facing off against each other. I really hope both decide to show up and show out because as an old timer at this shit myself, I love to see it personally. While I do think Mike Wrecka’s technical ability will prove the deciding factor of this particular battle, he certainly won’t be looking to make an early exit here. Candy has his work cut out for him, for sure, if he plans to progress and he’s going to have to dig deep into his bag if he’s to pull off something special here. This will be a tough test for him to endure if he’s going to make the semis.

Objective vs Mr. J

This is, objectively, (pun always intended) our Battle Of The Week material right here with very little to separate either battler in terms of experience, writing ability, seeding or recent form. The two of them are evenly matched which makes this battle all the more interesting for us neutral outsiders. Objective has contested championship matches previously in the AOWL, while Mr. J himself was a former tournament finalist. Both of these emcees will no doubt have respect for the opponent, they will be familiar with each others styles, execution and approach, so in terms of what we can expect I would be looking for one of them to try and overpower the other with a creative storyline or original take on the topic to distance their own work from that of their opponent and show why their verse is conceptually better than their oppositions. This won’t be easy. During the downtime of NC these two have kept their pens sharpened, and while losing either of these so early on in tournament is an unfavourable prospect - It does give us a mouthwaterering clash for our opening round. This one could be as close as it gets.

Predictions


Everyone seems to hate predictions for some reason, getting salty if they’re not picked. There’s really no need, there has to be a winner, right?! Remember this is purely the opinion of the magazine writer trying to put out content for you all on relatively short notice before the tournament even begins. The intention is to get everybody hyped up for these things, not to throw shade at anyone. The predictions mean zero if you do what you’re supposed to do and eliminate the opponent in front of you each round. Let’s have fun with it!


I sort of alluded to my predictions during the Battle Previews but I respect you guys enough for signing in to give you some additional content here. No filler either, we’re going big. No half-measures from me and I’m expecting the same from you all in return for the effort.


Etherwave vs Master Rock

It’s difficult for me to overlook Master Rock given the performances he put together back to back towards the finale of AOWL Season XI and continued into the Guerrilla Writing League. He was on a fantastic run during that period, one of the rising stars of the NC scene, after being overlooked for a prolonged long period in truth. If he can get back to somewhere near that imperious form, he could take this comfortably. Etherwave however is an enigma of sorts, not an entirely new face as the account seems to have been registered for some time, but certainly not a contender we’ve seen appear frequently and that at least gives her the surprise factor. From the Open Mic verse dropped there definitely seems to be more of a poetic influence stylistically, she’s less technically driven in terms of rhyme schemes compared to some other writers involved here, but she’s certainly stronger in rhyme placement to give her verses an implied rhythmic cadence and that could present its own challenges for her opponent who likes to emphasise the flow aspect to his own pieces. I expect this one to end closer than it first appears on paper, given their respective seedings, but keep in mind also that Etherwave has an element of being unknown while the seedings were largely based on previous showings, experience, and achievements.


White_LGI vs Symetrik

This battle is another first where neither have faced each other before, which is always cool to see. While it remains to be seen just how White_LGI will handle this one, his text battle background alludes to him having good wordings and executions of concepts. One major difference between text battling and topical writing is the importance placed on rhyme scheme and technical ability. It isn’t such an important factor in text battles where it’s generally only the end of the setup and punchline that rhyme multisyllabically. The topical scene, generally, place a far higher importance on this degree of technical skill and it will be interesting to see how Let’s Get It adapts to the format. Symetrik will have a great implied rhythmic cadence, and ended his spell in the Guerrilla Writing League with great in-depth detailed pieces honing in on the minute details of the image to fully immerse himself into the topic provided. I expect he will do more of the same here, and that makes him a tough opponent for White_LGI. It’s difficult again to overlook his experience in the field, especially when the gulf in that area between himself and his opponent is so great, it’s not that stylistically or skill set wise there is a great difference between the two on paper, but Sym’s knowledge of the scene and what the viewership are looking for as their deciding factors in casting their votes could well prove decisive here and he should look to exploit that. I’m sure he will be trying to.

Candy vs Mike Wrecka

This will be 1 of the 2 battles this round without a new face involved, two veterans of the scene facing off in an opener with a Semi Finals place guaranteed to the winner. The gloves will be off. I imagine Mike will be looking at this favourably, leaning on his experience during previous AOWL league campaigns where he secured notable wins in one of the more competitive recent seasons. He will be eager to put down his marker early on and become a pace setter for the rest involved. A strong showing here could do that, but let’s not overlook his opposition either. Candy himself has a wealth of experience to draw from, he’s been around and had seen as many topical battles take place as anyone in the tournament. The biggest question to be asked of Candy isn’t his commitment or determination, but inarguably his consistency, with him having a tendency to phone in verses at times to his detriment. If you’re familiar with his work then you’ll understand he tends to operate best when he leans tangibly into the topic - immersing himself in its world completely - and draws on absurdist imagery with unique turns of phrase. In my head I often liken his approach to Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole into Wonderland and attempting to describe the sights of the psychedelic Cheshire Cat or frenzied Mat Hatter’s Tea Party. You get a lot of colourful language utilised, almost a barrage of snippets, unique turns of phrase and maddening metaphors. Mike Wrecka’s approach couldn’t be more different in its directness, storytelling, and preference for technical ability displaying his rhyme schemes and imagery. The difficulty in Candy’s approach here will be striking a balance between absurdity and accessibility. If he veers too far into the former, the viewership might be unable to get into it. For me the more tried and tested direct approach from Mike Wrecka will resonate with the readers more. That’s how I see this one unfolding unless one or both decide to take huge gambles with their verses.


Mr. J vs Objective

The second of our two battles this round with no new faces involved! This is arguably the BOTW contender on paper, with these two being evenly matched up in terms of skillset and experience. It’s a real toss-up and tough to predict an outright winner in truth, one of those battles where people predict a 51-49% split at the end of their commentary usually. I’m not going to do that, it seems too easy almost and I don’t like making life easy for myself. Let’s analyse this one for a second and give some reasoning behind it. From a purely personal standpoint I’ve faced both of these guys in the past at the top of their games, Objective during one of his hottest unbeaten streaks when I was AOWL Champion, and Mr. J when I was riding high after winning The Winter Topical and went straight into the second topical tourney here back to back for Martyrs Of An Abstract Cause tourney that Vulgar ran. Let me tell you something. The battle against Mr. J was the one I found hardest to write for of the two. That is nothing to do with the opposition, but the topic itself was trickier. Mr. J wrote very fast, getting his verse up quickly, showing he found his way around a difficult topic with some relative ease. Now around this same time, Objective had stepped up in terms of the mechanic of his verse and technical proficiency, which added a further edge to his writing that we perhaps don’t see as much from Mr. J. You’ll find with Mr. J he chooses to lean harder into the flow category, shorter and compact lines, to give his verses an implied rhythmic cadence - This isn’t a tool employed as much by Objective and the two things almost cancel each other our depending on your own personal preference. For me, while I’m a great lover of the technical aspects on display, it does still have to flow well to be doing it correctly. The two things aren’t mutually exclusive, and it’s a combination of both of those elements working in harmony with each other that I’m looking for otherwise one, or both, can seem sacrificed. There’s an argument there for style over substance, or perhaps even for why you should never sacrifice content for flow… but in truth your ultimate aim should probably be to incorporate the two elements well. Become well rounded enough to the point you can do both. For my money, at least stylistically, Mr. J has shown he’s closer to achieving that than Objective is right at this present moment, and so I’m leaning slightly towards him as a result.
