I want to start out by saying I love you all, including Frank.
dead man vs. Witty Topic: “Justice?—You get justice in the next world, in this world you have the law." Analysis: These two share a lot of strengths. Witty's verse last week was very well written, but he didn't connect with the topic enough. That's probably the exact wrong way to go about facing dead man, who simply doesn't get outwritten. The topic favors him, as well, as he'll be able to write a topical instead of a story with little problem here. Prediction: dead man 71-29. ZYG vs. big baby Topic: "Spring, summer, and fall fill us with hope; winter alone reminds us of the human condition." Analysis: This battle is fucking mesmerizing. It probably will be up before I even finish these predictions. These two have opposing styles in every way. big baby will need to pay attention to the topic because ZYG never slips on that aspect. This comes down to ZYG's concept vs. big baby's words, but I think ZYG is stronger with words than big baby is with concepts. In an Open Mic contest, I'd favor big baby. But ZYG is my pick to win it all. Prediction: ZYG 52-48. Nigma vs. trap Topic: "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be." Analysis: Neither of these two would be grouped among the 10 writers most likely to win this whole thing, but they're both dangerous. trap came very conceptual and loose last round, and that suits his style. So does this topic, I think. Nigma is at his best when his ambitions are boldest. I love this topic. I really, really love this topic. I fucking wish I had this topic. It suits trap more, though, and I think that will be the difference. Prediction: trap 57-43. Totoro vs. oXus Topic: "I am secretly in love with everyone that I grew up with." Analysis: The National! Neither of these guys listens to The National, I bet. I think this battle is actually really close, with two of the most polished lyricists in this tournament facing off. oXus doesn't particularly care for the entire sport of topical writing, though, and I could see him taking a bit too abstract an approach here. Then again, Totoro sometimes ignores the topic altogether. But he has an X factor: oXus is starting down four votes. Prediction: Totoro 68-32. Pent uP vs. Wise Ways Topic: "You've got to jump off cliffs and build your wings on the way down." Analysis: Wise Ways definitely outwrote Pent uP last round, as he had one of the three best verses I read. But everything is new again. This topic just seems perfect for Pent uP. I think Wise Ways is the better writer in a void, but Pent uP has a lot of experience and isn't overmatched against anyone. He'll better his effort for this round, especially with a topic that fits him. Prediction: Pent uP 61-39. Lars vs. Certain Topic: "Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes; and thanks to words, we have often sunk to the level of the demons." Analysis: Good luck. Prediction: Battle of the week. Vulgar vs. Split Eight Topic: "The second half of a man's life is made up of nothing but the habits he has acquired during the first half." Analysis: This topic seems heavily slanted toward Vulgar, to the point where I don't think I would predict anyone would beat Vulgar on it. Split Eight was my pick to win this quadrant, though, and I think he has a real shot at knocking out Vulgar because his style is so contrasting. He'll need a very lucid effort because you can't beat Vulgar on the abstract tip. Prediction: Vulgar 59-41. uh-oh vs. Oats Topic: "Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut." Analysis: I've only read one verse by uh-oh, so this is going to be somewhat ignorant. Still, I like this topic and think they both will be able to handle it well. I'm going to lean toward oats writing a more refined and complete verse, though. Prediction: oats 63-37.

Hawaii was illegally overthrown and absorbed, I still see it as an independent monarchy. So you can add my battle to that list.

Sure was a good topic to have for the so-called "robot alien" - What is this 'human condition?' Need to activate all my empathy sensors to figure it out. Good luck big baby.
dead man vs. Witty - The topic slightly favors dead man. Predicted writing approach from deadman to contain themes about natural law - a kind of modern psychological look at Hobbes and Aquinas. Predicting Witty to go for a story, one dealing with themes of injustice and inequality, maybe something cool about Irish history. Nigma vs. trap - Personal feeling is Nigma will concentrate to create something unique this round. Trap was impressive against Copypat, his submission was very refined, it could stand up well against Nigma's more slant-ish rhymes and phrases. NYCPITZ vs. oXus - NYCPITZ could mesh well with the topic. This one is a bit of an unknown, don't think either will write a story, maybe something semi-autobiographical, but more likely it will be a philosophical kind of multiple rhyming contest. Pent uP vs. Wise Ways - Pent uP will write an excellent submission that is for sure, but many people are underestimating Wise Ways, he writes a lot of topical submissions, notably after tragic events. This topic also suits WW style of writing, it is a bit ambiguous and good for a kind of OM-type submission, it doesn't lend that well to a story, which I'm pretty sure Pent uP will go for, it depends what kind of approach he can create. Lars vs. Certain - Contest of the round prediction. Best quote for stimulating writing as well. Predicting that both will have stories, one will be a more literal take, the other more abstract, both will relate tangentially to main theme of the quote rather than the stuff in the quote itself. Vulgarvs. Split Eight - Enjoy both competitor's writing but this topic heavily favors Vulgar, it is quite abstract and lends itself well to a further exposition. Predicting Vulgar to pick up on the 'a man's life' aspect, writing about patriarchy and stuff like that. Split Eight is a bit of a surprise package, difficult to predict, good writer with potential to submit something great, uses a kind of innocuous writing tone it may mesh well with the introspective nature of the quote. uh-oh vs. Oats - Predicting uh-oh again, the last round submission was my favorite from all of them I read. He will need to write a bit more though, Oats is excellent in all facets of writing, and one of his strong points is audience manipulation, he knows how to make individuals respond. I was really impressed with uh-oh's underlying themes though, if he can write another thing like where it's a simple story with powerful and non-cliche underlying themes, it's perhaps a winning formula. |

Dammit @ZYG now I gotta change the concept for my verse.
Smh @ knowing the theme of my piece before I write it lol Are you Jesus? Edit: It was the Irish History part that you correctly guessed, i was pondering it as soon as I saw the topic, I had nothing confirmed in my mind tho so in all likelihood the concept would have changed anyway, I always think of a few different directions to go in.
