...<BR>

Yo, you transparent like crystal, victory or defeats not the issue, I'm ILL! Clear'n my sinus' on your brain tissue,<BR>Your so wack the mod's are talkin' about ban'n,<BR>I'll leave you fucked up like raw sex stand'n,<BR>My dictions demanding, I'm strong enough to THROW slugs, rip'n your heart out by the pulmonary, talk'n about "Show Love"<BR>I style free for fee, battle'n me is costly,<BR>With crucifixes and two 4x4's you couldn't double cross me<BR>My style is more than ample, I'm like live instrumetns while you a sample, your verse I trample, embarass you so you leave and come back with another handle<BR>The mic vandal, blow'n spots like presedential scandal, my shine like the sun while yours akin to candle.<BR>

If I'm still in it...then I will proceed<BR>

Your rhymes are swerving, you hit a parking cone/<BR>Battle wit me, I do not condone/<BR>Tear you down to the bone/<BR>Cause in Round 2 i have grown/<BR>Leave your ass stranded, all naked and alone/<BR>You might be a fast typer, but i'm a emcee sniper/<BR>Wasn't thought to speak clearly, but i know you decipher/<BR>Every noun, verb, metaphor, verbally spittin'/<BR>In this battle i'll be greusome, While you're cute as a kitten/<BR>This shit ain't written cause I clocked in 4:21/<BR>After channeling my thoughts, i spoke and shined like the sun/<BR>Go on and run, find your nearest dictionary/<BR>I'm feelin it in Round 2, ripe as a cherry/<BR>And I'm very, curious to see your rebuttle/<BR>You're foreign like a UFO/<BR>While I'm a NASA space shuttle/<P>

Batter up...

Epic, ultra magnet, leave'n your flow stagnant, devour'n your verse whole, spit'n out sentence fragments, In a word I'm vicious, metaphorically malicious, eat'n wack emcee's as if they were nutritous, Your ish is repitious, like a Puffy loop, you couldn't even eat an MC in alphabet soup<BR>Watch me crush your defenses while silmultaneously slap'n you senseless, Battle'n me is stupider than piss'n on electric fences, not since Jehova's witness has there been a rhymer this relentless, my style can't be measured in centimeters or inches, You couldn't stay on beat if you had a pacemaker, I'm not the one to fuck with, Like Magic from the Lakers<BR>

lunch hit it one the head. Epicenter was too much.<BR>Scratch was ill, but not on his level.<P><img src="http://www.okayplayer.com/dcforum/Images/happy.gif"> <img src="http://www.okayplayer.com/dcforum/Images/happy.gif"> for epicenter<BR><img src="http://www.okayplayer.com/dcforum/Images/happy.gif"> for scratch17<P><P>hey, I'm walkin' here!<BR>

I think Epicenter got this round. Scratch WAS tight BUT very BASIC and its not dealing with Epi's range

he came hard and with a good flow so shit what you sayin' playa???

I give round one to Ep, that was ill. Scratch, I likes yours, though, esp. the 4:21 part. It's not near over.......

... gotz dis one. both roundz was to da fuggin head like a 90 second tyson knockout.

Daymn! Epi got that shit, both rounds had me livin.

i'm gonna have to give the first round to epi. but i gotta say, epi, you fell off with your last four lines--after the double cross line (which was dope as hell) you had basic stuff. but, sorry scratch, you had a little more than 4 lines of basic stuff. you came tight, but not as tight as epi.<P>the abbot has spoken.

Court's in session with the rap of my gavel/<BR>The secret to my talent, you cannot unravel/<BR>Like a Ginsu, i'm cuttin/<BR>You like a fish I be guttin'/<BR>The words you defend with, ain't defendin' nothin/<BR>Your rhymes are sucessful as Sinbad's comedy/<BR>You wording just as intelligent/<BR>As a polish novelty/<BR>As i battle today, next month, and next year/<BR>Your odds of makin it, are as good as Heavy D's career/<BR>Have no fear, you'll be knocked out in no time/<BR>Cheering "Scratch17" bruised up on the sidelines/<BR>I'm explosive like landmines, while you receed like your hairline/<BR>You rhymin all wreckless, like you just hit a STOP sign/<BR>I can as battle as long as a Phillie can burn/<BR>Quit before your fired, maybe this time you'll learn/<P>PEACE<BR>Scratch17<P><BR>

dopeness, scratch. i'm not gonna say anything about round 2 for you guys. too close. i'll give my final verse after 3. man, this thing is moving fast, just like mine and sherlocks (hint hint nudge nudge).<P>the abbot has spoken.

"Couldn't eat an MC if it was in Alphabet Soup"??? Who the fuck is this kid?? Epi takes round 2 for me. Gotta keep it real. 1st and 2nd were close...but it's gonna take a hella verse to take Epi, Scratch!!<P>DVSJ

Nice verse Scratch

Ayo, my style spray shit like a broken septic,<BR>Prose perfected, I'm like the Wake up show while you like Nyquil for a narcoleptic,<BR>You get disrespected, your no competition,<BR>Battle'n me is suicide like a black at a Ku Klux Konvention,<BR>Supension of your flow, my shit explicit wihout curses, <BR>Is there a need for a third round when your still recoverin' from my first two verses? <BR>Your shit is worthless, this is more of massacre than a battle,<BR>You couldn't dead this beef if you were kill'n cattle, <BR>I spit with ill imagery, your wack, split you with symetry, if your styles ill then consider this the remedy,<BR>Yo, I can't beleive your dumb enough to chance it,<BR>One metaphor will take out your whole crew like mass transit

Enjoyed this shit. Again, I really don't care who wins cause this was fun. Can't take a text battle too seriously anyway y'know? Well, I'm tired as I don't know what so peace ya'll. I'm out.

r1... Ep... no question<BR>r2... Ep... closer, but still... this kid needs to be watched cuz he's about to slowly make it to the finals with rounds like that...!!! Damn... lets see how scratch can come back though...<P>One.1. Quidom<P>Posts guaranteed to boost IQ's!!!<BR>School's in session...

-_____-

Rounds one and two go Epicenter. Kid has got the ill metaphors, son!

Scratch stepped it up in this one .........however Epicenter was still superior with the word play.<P><P><BR>narcolepsy?

Round 1 Epicenter<BR>Round 2 Epicenter

Epi has dominated,just makin me frustrated/<BR>My rhymes slightly miseducated, like a birthday card belated/<BR>Round 3, to me, you can see i be top rated/<BR>As my rhymes come off bigger than John Holmes dick/<BR>I slam, pass, and dribble rhymes like a NY Knick/<BR>Take a lick from this slick, sick No. 1 pick/<BR>Burnin' hotter than the flame on a candlewick/<BR>Should be Slick Rick's sidekick/<BR> Now make way for the boy hated in every section/<BR>I come hard as an erection, but still lose this election/<BR>This time i'll make the connection/<BR>With rhymes harder than messin with bodyguard protection/<BR>So enjoy possibly my last verse/<BR>Play it in reverse, to attain the secrets, to setting a curse/<BR>That'll knock Epi out with one verse/<BR>First is first, and first was worst, for Round 2, I shoulda rehearsed/<P>PEACE<BR>Fat Words Epi...<P><P><P><P>

lets go more than three....if ya want, i fein battlin<BR>PEACE <BR>Scratch17

... or did scratch seem like he gave up on this final verse? sorry but i gott give this to ep handz down. decent 1st two versus but the 3rd was the weakest out of em all. but keep it up bruh...lbz

i thought round three was one of the better versus for scratch...it might just be me though..<P><BR>dazEd

Hands down ALL rounds got to Epicenter

epicenter. he was just too overpowering to overcome and now scratch's time is over, and i can say over over and over.<P>the abbot has spoken.

Rd.1-Epicenter.<BR>Rd.2-Epicenter.<BR>Rd.3-Scratch17 with one of those amazing comebacks I had hoped he would rip in round 1!!!<P>Anyway...Epicenter advances, but I like the way you rip it when you stop giving a fuck, Scratch!!! Anyway...good battle to both of y'all!<P>DVSJ

Epicenter got this one.<BR>it all started with that "With crucifixes and two 4x4's you couldn't double cross me" ish and didn't stop, so i gotta say Epi advances. <P>"Mercy, mercy me...<BR>Ah things ain't what they used to be, no.<BR>Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas,<BR>Fish full of mercury.<BR>Mercy, mercy me..."
