The Summer Classic


Welcome to Round 2! I want to thank everyone, especially the reserves that took the place of people who failed to check in and the reserves that battled to make this run smooth into the next round. Round one was ended up being almost paint across the bracket but the battles did not disappoint. This round won't either with tourney favorites trying to prove they deserve the title and veterans trying to prove they belong here with the top tier talent.

Reviews


Alvin Karpis [VS] Kin (Alvin Karpis wins 5-0)

This is how round one battles usually go for the top ranked battlers in tournaments. Total slaughter. Kin's style is reminiscent of bad longbar and word association that gave longbar a bad rep to be honest. I mean the concepts were sort of there but the creativeness was lacking. Props to Alvin for not slacking off completely and giving us some lols.

LOTB:

Got me battling an aspiring rapper wearing cheap jewelry & feels dumb
I guess the irony is you rock fake silver & couldn’t even fuck the real one

murda sho [VS] Amen (murda sho wins 6-1)

Amen aka Netcees most hated. I kind of had high hopes for Amen to bring it in this tournament, using the hate to fuel some dope concepts and maybe an upset or two. Not only did he let me down, he let all of RB down. Shame on you "shun". (who the fuck says that?) Respect to murda sho for not only bringing it here but also entering as a reserve. Amen had 1-2 cool concepts but murda ended up taking this 6-1 with personals and the lotb.

LOTB:

You're the worst dude, about to get ripped and maimed by a reserve, fool
They took Kwality out for me, and it looks like you did for your verse too

Aero the Apex [VS] Blanco Bishop (Aero wins 6-0)

This battle was just a mismatch from the get go. I wasn't sure what I was going to get when I matched Blanco Bishop in this spot. You can tell Blanco can bring creativity but just lacked execution in some spots. I was feeling that Pornhub line and it seems people missed that one. Aero brought generic plays, albeit some were nice, they were just kind of boring to be honest. Plus based on your recycling past I wouldn't put it past you that you recycled here in this battle as well. You brought your usual wittiness and clever humor you usually bring to your verses. Hopefully next round you add a personal touch.

LOTB:

In the car I skeeted in but she cleans it quick, she gets too embarrassed
techniques used to get my kids out the car could've saved Cooper Harris

Tettris [VS] Malachi (Tettris wins 5-0)

My favorite to win this tourney, Tettris, brought it this round with his creative bars and personal touch. Malachi surprised here also with some good concepts. In the end Tettris whole verse just exposed Malachis weaknesses with wording and execution.

LOTB:

Face it: The winner of the noob tourney shouldn’t ever say shit…
If you’re the new blood of text…then you’re pumping it full of Strikta’s platelets

BROKE LESNAR [VS] RudeBoy (Broke Lesnar wins by No Show)

RudeBoy no showed.

Defiant [VS] Evolve (Defiant wins by No Show)

Evolve no showed.

Neighbor [VS] Tic Tac (Tic Tac wins by No Show)

Neighbor no showed.

Constrikta [VS] Lyfza Gamble (Lyfza Gamble wins by a scared shitless Constrikta no showing)

Constrikta no showed.

Allen Knight vs jilti (Allen Knight wins by 10-5)

I almost put out an UPSET ALERT. The votes poured in with jilti going toe to toe with AK, votes coming in put it at 5-5 early. Maybe the underdog has a chance? But Allen Knight ended up winning in the end 9-5. To be honest I thought this battle wasn't that great. You could tell Allen Knight slacked off here and I wasn't the only one who thought so.

Sheep ^

Anyways, Allen Knight won this on consistency and pulled off the win with more quotes that were solid hits as opposed to jilti who had a few complete misses. If Allen Knight wants to stay in this tourney he will need to write to his standards and not to the level of his opponents.

LOTB:

duel with fists. while AL rather catfight like a bully bitch
anything he'll do ta win. whether blowout or by a hair, even if he's pulling it

Destroyer [VS] KnowP (Destroyer wins by 5-0)

I was hoping this would be a good battle but I was disappointed to be honest. KnowP didn't bring his harshness he usually brings from RB and Destroyer didn't bring the one haymaker that made this kinda close. Destroyers comedic factor and consistency in end got him the win. Wall of bitching averted.

LOTB:
I stay blazed. my jars are full of blue cheese & Tahoe grams to smoke
I'm posting up mad strains, u just make us mad when we strain to understand ur posts

Swerve [VS] illergicreaxion (Swerve win by 6-0)

The score of this match didn't reflect on how close it was between these two battlers in the end. Both brought some dope/fresh concepts. Swerve in the end had better execution and wording. 6-0 Swerve.

LOTB:
My off shore accounts hold big bank, I even make cash when I’m writing,
While your off shore accounts are so empty…they make all of Muff’s sound exciting.

King Karaoke [VS] Dragon (Cowards)

Both No show.

ill nik-A [VS] The Mind Assassin (ill nik-A wins by 8-0)

This battle had a bad blood background. I was hoping when I pitted these two verse one another something would happen. Something did. The Assassin ended up being assassinated.

LOTB:
put a bat to ur bald spot & never be bothered
u the only one to get a hairline fracture without a chance to ever recover

Sharp Nine [VS] pav (Sharp Nine wins by 9-3)

Pav brought an oldschool style here that earned him a few nostalgic votes but in the end Sharp made light work of this battle with the more conventional Netcees style. 9-3 Sharp

LOTB:
Dude stopped being good in 04. no way we'll see this phony win
aint had a hit in 10 yrs n hes dying slow, its making me miss Tony Gywnn

namix [VS] Greed (Greed wins by 7-0)

I've never really seen namix text before. Greed: Israelite wait. @longbar. lols. You just made every short bar heathen mad at you with that one. Namix had some concepts but you could tell didn't have the time to tell them well together and shorten his bars. Greed didn't come with much here besides the Aero die namix but the execution in his verse was neater.

LOTB:
I saw you beef with my brother mane, that shit was dumb and lame
If you wanna watch Aero die namix I'll toss you out a fuckin plane

Orc [VS] King Ra.(Orc wins by No Show)

King Ra. No showed.

Bags [VS] Velocity (Bags wins by 6-2)

This battle was close. Velocity had 1-2 complete misses but brought some good lines with a personal touch. Bags didn't bring his usual humor and because of that mixed in with his hiatus were why this was so close maybe. also there were no broke lesnar(lol i deleted that shit dont do that again), destroyer, god of war votes for auto 0-3 hole for opponent but I digress.... I had this almost even on quotes but bags had almost flawless wording and better execution on a few more lines with consistency. Bags took it in the end.

LOTB:
Sluts? U fucked up or crazy he wouldnt put nut on a pastry
A Bitch pick up velocity? Trust Its a rape scene n shes runnin 4 safety

Doug Funny [VS] Certain (Certain wins 8-4

I thought Doug Funny was some dope Alias and maybe he still is but he severely miscalculated here. Certain brought some fresh concepts and delivered a pretty good verse, better than what I was expecting from him. Doug Funny, I thought brought the lotb with breaking bad but didn't come with much other than that. Certain delivered line after line. I was feeling that Saved by the bell reference the most. Certain, in the end wins 8-4.

Predictions

Alvin Karpis [VS] murda sho
murda sho has the potential to beat anyone. Alvin is the NBL Champ and sort of seems unstoppable. I think Alvin's style is favored here also as he executes wording and concepts better than murda sho does. I like the way murda brings his own style and words his peronals. I think there is history here so maybe some personals will fly around and we will see some fireworks.

Winner: Alvin Karpis 60/40

Aero the Apex [VS] Tettris
Since Constrikta, Beyond & Neighbor decided they wanted no part of the Summer Classic anymore, My money is on Tettris to win the whole thing. Dude is a beast with creativity, wording and execution in every bar. Aero the self proclaimed goat will have to come with more than his usual witty bars to pull off the victory here.

Winner: Tettris 75/25

BROKE LESNAR [VS] Defiant
I thought Brokes verse versus Rudeboy was pretty dope to be honest, every bar was solid. It's a shame RudeBoy decided to no show. Defiant sent me a verse that was not impressive but he didn't really put any effort because he knew Evolve was going to no show. Broke Lesnar was banned from NC.1 for biting wasn't he? Anyways dude is pretty good from what I've seen and I don't see Defiant putting in the effort here to pull out a victory.

Winner: Broke Lesnar 80/20

Tic Tac [VS] Lyfza Gamble
Tic Tac has the potential to come nice from what I've read on RB from him. He slacked off last round though versus a dope opponent though and I don't know why. Here versus Gamble I don't see him trying any harder. Gambles verse versus Constrikta actually had some dope concepts but wording severely hurt him. If he tightens up things I could see an upset happening.

Winner: Tic Tac 55/45

Allen Knight [VS] Destroyer
I felt like Allen Knight slacked a little bit last round and almost got caught slipping. Here he has the motivation though. Destroyer last round didn't bring that one hay-maker we usually read from him. Bags is back though so maybe his wording will improve. There is some bad blood in this match up and motivation on both sides to come dope. I'm going to to go with an upset here and because I want to see Bags destroy destroyer next round. (more so to motivate AK more)

Winner: Destroyer 60/40

Swerve [VS] Bags
Swerve had a good battle last round but here it looks like he won't have the time to write a good enough verse due to real life responsibility's. Bags might be one of the favorites to come out of this group and win this side of the bracket now.

Winner: Bags 80/20

ill nik-A [VS] Sharp Nine
I'm not particularly fond of ill nik-A's style to be honest but he does keep it real, and I think he does come with a hay-maker or two every round. Sharp Nine I thought was pretty dope with a mix of creativity and wittyness in his verse. This battle will come down to style preference.

Winner: 50/50

Greed [VS] Orc
Orc's real life responsibility's will hinder how he comes in this battle but I still think it will be enough to get the win. Greed just doesn't grasp concepts enough or have Orc's reputation to pull a win out here.

Winner: Orc 75/25

Outtro
Sorry everyone for the delay and mediocrity of the magazine for this round. I had a few things to take care of and when I did get around and was going to put in work on this thing my fucking net went down till this afternoon. Anyways this round looks to be dope with some interesting matchups for not only this round but the next. I promise a better magazine next round.

Too lazy to write a 10 line battle but able to write a 20 line poem about your pathetic life. Don't sign up for any tournies ever, you're not allowed.

Slit your wrist.

[StarFaggot]

Magazine was good. I don't agree with your top punches. 3 of mine should've been on there idk what verse you were reading. The 75/25 in favor of tet was very disrespectful.

Also although Orc's opponent didn't show Orc had some good lines in that battle.

Dope MAG, Para. Keep up the good work, son.
