Watch for his hook!

Bartek

who dun shot him!
there's a tek on the scene!!!
well, who don provoked him,
yeah, i put him under the influence of the ocean,
ya deep in the flow,
lil pop you need to be stopped, rather dropped,
rap ain't got space for kids, this game is hot,
you bout to face hard luck, a slap, from the soul of my timbs, ruff and rugged,
never wash em, cause dirt dry and fall off like you rappin,
all this before you even started, are you eager to face the gauntlet,
well, i ain't got that, but i got facts, and you stretched your arms too long,
slap you back like elastic, i feel like your substitute, where yo teacher at?
i'll be investigatin ya raplet like matlock,
lock your rap welcome mat up in my attuc, i don't let in but i let up,
you elevatin, until you hear the end of my broom stick wakin you up,
time to dust my think tank, ya flow is dead like a blood stained ice rink,
or a blown up tank that was soviet, either way you so cold when you face a vet, so called influence,
you plain russian roullette wit the flow,
in case you wonderin, this a War and ya Cold,
droplet, i don't have time for lil bets,
trust me, your flow is a long away from grown, stop it,

Influence

Your rhymes are obese... PHAT in alllll the wrong places...
This is advance placement and your work’s half ass adjacent
I’m the optimal...
You the fag in the hospital
Describing girls as your imperial obstacle
Getting your ass sent to you
Yeah, you’ve handled a few
Straight to your mandible
Your shits intangible
It ain’t radical
Your lyrics wish for a reason to be natural
Phat rhymes that cast a narrow shadow
I’m the eagle... you the sparrow
Extract the helium from your halo
To choke you
Ready to provoke you
Ayo... watch me pass bar like determined law students
As your rhymes stay prudent
My words keep the moon lit

Jay Z is simply the most important artist in Hip Hop history for several reasons.

One, his timing. He currently holds the crown. Just as whether you like George W or not he is the most important president in history because he is calling the shots NOW. He has the ability to send us to war, devalue the dollar or not. We have to deal with him respect his power.

Two, unlike any other rapper Jay understands how “the game” truly works. He appreciates moreso than any other artist how commerce, marketing, and diversification must co-exist with more traditional Hip-Hop values such as content, flow and beats. LL was the 1st to openly and successfully court the ladies. Jay does it better. Run DMC were the 1st to get into bed with a footwear company, but there were never a Run DMC designed line of shelltops. Biggie synthesized a non New York (we are usually tempted to say West Coast, but in actuality the NY sound is the adapted anomaly) sensibility with a NY flow, but he was murdered before he could see it through. Jay has perfected it.

Third, financially prudent rappers have made outside investments, but being part of the group that bought the Nets is real American big business. Bob Johnson had to sell his baby, BET, to join that club; Jay just needed to wait for the return on The Blueprint album.

AND LIKE A FAT GIRL IN DODGE BALL...I'M OUT!!!!!

I wanna clean fight!

Noble:

I read your profile/broke it down and prepared to get hostile/I'm gonna raise some hell on your cloud twelve/so hot your heaven and space would melt/I sound off and watch your face gel from male to female like some old MASK spell/
the son of Jor-EL, on the microphone steel/spittin
gale-force winds, that throw your skirt up and make your knees bend/Now FOCUS, your attention lacks discipline, so start listenin, in three lines I turned your ass feminine/I launch an offensive in the square ring like tiananmen/I would put you in the same class that middle east women in/you fiddlin, with cinnamon sticks/swinging at mt hickory bricks/this is the victory spit/don't blame it on MiracleRic/he didn't know I had the lyrical gift/to hit you with the spit I sneeze with/But wait, do you hear that, ACHOOO, ACHOOO/you just got hit with your own signature Patrick Duke.



Focus23:

I’m Venomous,
Your worst nemesis on the scene n’
When I’m thru,
Noble’ll be jettin’ the premises ballin’ n’ screamin’
Focus is the poet that you want on your team n’
Let me bless you with this rhyme like some lyrical seamen.
Important key rhetorical’s
In a court of bar-focals n’ dream ons’
You’ll need 360 oracle’s
To defeat this metaphorical phenom.
Leavin’ the board smokin’ with this key/style sickness
Second round I’m comin’ thru with much-harder linguistics
Stic-shifts in 3rd gear n’ I’m gainin’ momentum
Focus tappin’ out Noble
Ya’ll like DAMN! Where did HE come from?!??!!

No holds bar!

KDini

Ladies and Gents, the bo Dini's back at it/
The Yosemite Sam, gun happy rap addict/
Noir, you should have never stepped in from the bench/
Cause when I rip your ass apart, there's no ducking the stench/
You think you're going to war, started digging the trench/
Didn't know I was at your crib, dicking your whench/
Introduction - Krazy Dice - number one on the grid/
I'm also well known as "pops" to your kids/
My number one hobby's leaving MCs drenched/
And insuring that you keep spelling your name in French/
Come on, AK, you ain't really ready for the rapture, dude/
You just gassed cause you think Jay-Z named an album after you/
Treat me like a salesperson - say you're just passing through/
Go home and write some new prayers with your pastor crew/
Whatever you do, I hope that you've found a religion/
And stick to playing Grand Theft Auto - passing your missions/
Cause I'm known for brining lyrical death to punks/
That's why they call my cars elephants - they got big trunks/
Holla


Noir


blah blah blah - blah blah (one syllable word)/
blah blah blah - blah blah you're a little turd/
your verse structure flunks - your rhymes lack resonance/
your presence is pitiful - you have my sentiments/
early evidence suggests you'll never reach eminence/
i'll do my best to - return you to sediments/
but the ground rejects you, you pop up like Bobo/
then DASH off in a flurry - in a hurry like FloJo/
your wack record's impressive - you're surely the best/
at being the worst - doth the lady protest?/
Kdini, who-dini? who dunny? who did it?
i'll make you swallow your pride, then beat you til you shit it
cuz i'm like a phone book, the way that i rip it
hose rips concern you, or when your skirt gettin lifted
this kid so green, he ain't had his platinum post yet
i should work at Mattel, how i convert these jokes to plastic John Doe sets
Ken Kdini DOA'd and toe-tagged, he couldn't handle a dose of NOIR
he crafted his round carefully, but got slammed with a war
un-luck of the draw, you bout to get dishonorably discharged from the tourney
you're riding in on a Hummer and out on a gurney
you got a low-post count, but an alias we know you can't be
cuz at you, not with you, is the way that we're laughing
ell oh ell, oh how i eloquently devise
and spell out your destruction, despair, and demise
K is for King, something you'll never be
d for denied, my first round victory
i n... as in... you got no chance in hell
and that leaves just i, with two of yours swelled

no women in the tourney but i know a bitch when i see one
you wrote an email to ya boys and got the reply Re:RUN!
if you had talent i'd gank it and display it in the lobby
i got a job, MOP'in fools like you is a hobby
NOIR... a depth of which you could never fathom
i vaporize Kdini into powdery talcum
pack your remains tight in a specialized bullet
take aim at the pres grab the trigger and pull it
the only time your life will ever have meaning
when you explode in his gut and leave 2 people not breathing

noble won this

Yo, I'll give it to Noble here but it was pretty close actually. The whole n with the apostraphe rhyme thing was a bit weak....so yeah, NOBLE IN ROUND 1

NOIR

cmon, that whole re:run thing.. that was something

noir....

i liked the jayz-black album-noir means black in french line, from 'dini, but noir just had an overall tighter verse to me.

This is the life I chose, or rather the life that chose me
If you can't respect that, your whole perspective is whack
Maybe you'll love me when I fade to black
If you can't respect that, your whole perspective is whack

Now if you can't respect that, your whole perspective is whack
Maybe you'll love me when I fade to black
If you can't respect that, your whole perspective is whack
Maybe you'll love me when I fade to black.. {*fading out*}

I thought cat had a tight verse. I said the verse to myself and the flow was lovely. 'Metaphorical Phenom' convinced me as the verse showed it's entire objective and this verse was written with more than just diss in mind. peace.

"They say the Hood die young...."

so i will extend the deadline until a lil later tonight and if the no-show number doesnt change...do u want me to post the verses u sent in or do u just want your free win without revealing the verse????

so its not good to me any way. Plus I doubt the punches would work on the next person.

"They say the Hood die young...."

It's me Afroartmami, you read about Etan Thomas having a book signing/reading this evening? It's with that dude we saw from HU, who performed some of his poetry at the club near where you and Lay lived. I wish I could go, you should check it out...take you know who *wink,wink*

>so i will extend the deadline until a lil later tonight and
>if the no-show number doesnt change...do u want me to post

i say set a concrete deadline and inbox the no-shows.
if they no-show again, hold the submitted verses til after the tourney and post a 'the lost verses' thread.

if the no-shows reach out to me and say they still wanna be in the tourney maybe i'll create a losers bracket and do the "lost verses" thread at the end of the tourney

thanks...

im gonna tally the votes and post the next round match-ups tonight, next deadline for verses should be wednesday

get another damn vote for the battle of bartek and me to break the 2-2 tie... cmonn

it's broken, u won 4-3 votes

This competition is faulty right now. How the HELL you gonna only have one round...that's first of all. Secondly - 38 bars to 18 bars????.....shouldn't there be a limitation to how many bars you can spit in your verse?....Shit...I would have written a book if I knew that my oponent was writing one...that's not fair....he had more than double the bars I did. And third - even though Noir did iight and did not stink it up by any means....but for yo to say that his shit was tighter is just plain rediculous. BLAH BLAH BLAH...that is just a whack ass way to start a verse. But I won't hate and I shall take this in stride....I mean if you write twice as much material - there's bound to be some kind of goodness in there. But this board is slipping...and MiracleRic - I love the effort to put a battle together but you should think it through just a bit more, playa....but one love to all..holla

limits have been set b4, and they get broken, and cats cry, its gonna happen...i purposely didnt set a line limit cause people are gonna vote for heat, people are smart enough to account for verse length

but continue to vote, u never know what type of surprises are gonna pop off in this tourney
