@Darth Yoda, @kannon, @Soulstice and @Eŋg, be sure to vote on the other battle. But also, I am wondering about your thoughts on extending voting for this round until Tuesday night and then giving the winners a full week to write for the championship.

lol at not prof frost. y u say dat?

he seems like a good dude in all honesty @Split. maybe a bit misguided. he could probably benefit from our leagues but i have asked him and he has this nationalistic bullshit mentality that keeps him loyal to one rap forum at a time. hence, misguided.

Here's his vote from when Dagel bit an excellent Vulgar verse (bold is mine):

Neither one of you did what you could have. Very disappointing battle, but better than no battle at all - right.
So, here's the thing.

1. Mechanics are in favor of Dagel
2. Story is in favor of DEV

Dagel's verse had better rhymes, better imagery and a better concept -- but no fucking value whatsoever.

DEV's verse was weak but it served a purpose as a story. Something progressive and purposeful as a story.
But, it had no substance. It was a flower vase without a flower within it.

It's really close, because I didn't like either verse. Honestly

....

...

.

Well, I'll have to give credit where it's due. Dagel put forth more effort in making an interesting read.
I think I'll change my mind on voting for DEV. After all, his story was boring as hell.
Dagel had a verse that was pointless but semi-entertaining. I found no value other than a writer that tried hard.
And because of that effort I'll give my vote to him. From the wide range of diction to the somewhat provocative referencing & logic he presented,

Vote: Antihero

@Certain

Got you today..Feed me something in OM though, short and sweet on your end

I'll get you some feed today. Haven't even been drinking much PLAYER!!!

[oats]

I'll vote on at least one when I get home from work tonight if it's extended. Prob the second tomorrow morning.

I think I mentioned it in the discussion thread, but what Certain quoted was what I was referring to when I said how hilarious a plunge the RB topical scene took, that not only are they not that good, but they really have no idea what constitutes good writing over there. That being said, I think timeless really benefited from the aowl (and vice versa, he was consistent and active), and I'm sure Frost and some others would too.

Any of you have a preference? If not, I'm going to do this and extend voting until Tuesday. Reply in the next hour, please.

[Darth Yoda]

He and I seem to be on equal footing on our respective sites and he is therefore my sworn rival

I would prefer to close them asap, if we get 6 votes or more and the margin is reasonable. Kan and darth is already 5-0 anyways

Understood. I'd definitely rather not move on with only four votes in your battle, though. I'll close the battles at some point tomorrow when there are more votes, including my own. (I'm late to vote because I've spent this weekend moving and am just too tired right now to cast a good vote.)

@Eŋg, you still need to vote.

Writing from the perspective of a homeless musician is better. I don't know why I gave you so much credit as to come up with concept I originally thought. Dumb me


Also being salty over a loss isn't a good look. We all take them
