Okay,I'm signin in...I'm up to it...
What the fuck I got the urge to go!I'm goin now:
Welcome back,bitch,and now goodbye
Yo fate will be like "Boom Biddy Bye Bye"
After you're gone,I know noone will cry
It'll take them a month to see you died,
I've seen yo raps,or the ones you"try"
Shoulda grown up before you stepped up and rapped
Now you're stuck,I got you trapped
One move mothafucka,you won' be somewhere in the map
You'll "pass away",and you are physically handicapped:
Got no dick,and you still claim to have one
You make me sick,and I know you don' have a gun
You never fucked a girl!And I ain' done:
I know you got no talent,no life,you got none
You act like you're the "God's Son"
Actually you are too weak to be even a bitch's son!
When you see me on the streets,you run!
Coz you can't face me,now face this,son!(punch)
Skyline 02-10-2003, 01:24 PM *wipes boots on Nova's face* Let's go.
I thought you weren't around,thank god you're here! Let's go!Hahaha!
Skyline 02-10-2003, 03:18 PM I suggest you take 2nd place and be dismissed/
Before you end up with blood stains all across your sh*t/
Or better yet get wrapped and tagged like a hershey kiss/
Don't try and edit the flow chump stick to the script/
The Phil Jackson of the game with lyrical pick and rolls/
You got more holes in your flows then a bowl of cheerios/
I'm married to the game while you still scared to propose/
Running things like the middle square in tic tac toe/
Got the illest comebacks like ah agent from the matrix/
Get on the ground Nova and french kiss the pavement/
Don't think you got away just cuz you made arraignment/
I'm the spider you the fly caught in my verbal entanglement/
I've been called the underdog but it's cool with me/
You need bifocals duke cuz you still can't see/
Please, I'm blowin weed with some army fatigue/
One shot pierced knot now ya brains on ya trees/
Holla!
moses21x 02-10-2003, 03:53 PM Well, this one is a blowout in my mind. NoVa you tried dog, but damn. Let me break it down though. Basically your rhymes suffer from the same missteps of Lyrical and Illest battle, the weak rhyme scheme, or "last word rhyming method".
Example: "Welcome back,bitch,and now goodbye
Yo fate will be like "Boom Biddy Bye Bye"
After you're gone,I know noone will cry
It'll take them a month to see you died,
I've seen yo raps,or the ones you"try"
"Got no dick,and you still claim to have one
You make me sick,and I know you don' have a gun
You never fucked a girl!And I ain' done:
I know you got no talent,no life,you got none
You act like you're the "God's Son"
Actually you are too weak to be even a bitch's son!
When you see me on the streets,you run!
Coz you can't face me,now face this,son!(punch)"
That's 13 of your 17 lines, and I'm being generous not mentioning the other 4 lines. You used absolutely not metaphors, which you can get away with if your rhymes are good enough, but your's weren't. No hate, but you need to step up you game if you plan on battling again.
Now on to Skyline. I've seen better out of you, but this one wasn't bad at all(holding the big guns for the later rounds).
"The Phil Jackson of the game with lyrical pick and rolls/
You got more holes in your flows then a bowl of cheerios/
I'm married to the game while you still scared to propose/
Running things like the middle square in tic tac toe/"
I was really feeling that. For those of you who don't understand what I mean by "ending word rhyme method", it's where the only thing in the line that rhymes with the previous line is the last word. That quote right there from Skyline is the opposite of that.
Holes, flows, bowl, cheerios, that's 4 words in only one line. When you can write like that, it flows better and sounds better all around. It shows a higher creativity level, and better rhyme scheme. Also Skyline had a very good opener.
"I suggest you take 2nd place and be dismissed/
Before you end up with blood stains all across your sh*t/
Or better yet get wrapped and tagged like a hershey kiss/
Don't try and edit the flow chump stick to the script/"
A good opener sets the tone for you whole verse, so the better you come at the start the more likely you are to catch people's attention and get them feelin' your shit.
Overall, this was an easy decision for me, based on skills alone, I already knew who was gonna win before either of you posted. My vote in a landslide goes to Skyline(I'll see you in a couple rounds)
Skyline 02-10-2003, 04:08 PM yea I can't bring out everything, i got one more round against Nova. I got a few cancer bars for you too haha!
What?How come we're havin another round?
Skyline 02-10-2003, 04:28 PM Oh, I thought it was suppose to be two rounds and then votes. I guess the rules were changed to just one. I would have spit my best had I known i was one round. I guess I can save those for Moses haha!
^^^^ Indeed,you can!Hahaha,good luck,man!Peace out!
Well, Im not hatin on this vote, but it wasn't even close.
Now, first, Nova
Quote:
"Welcome back,bitch,and now goodbye
Yo fate will be like "Boom Biddy Bye Bye"
After you're gone,I know noone will cry
It'll take them a month to see you died,"
That was a bad start and the punches were weak.
"I've seen yo raps,or the ones you"try"
Shoulda grown up before you stepped up and rapped
Now you're stuck,I got you trapped
One move mothafucka,you won' be somewhere in the map"
Weak lyrics, simple.
"Got no dick,and you still claim to have one
You make me sick,and I know you don' have a gun"
Got no dick, and you still claim you have one??? That was weak.
"You never fucked a girl!And I ain' done:
I know you got no talent,no life,you got none
You act like you're the "God's Son"
Actually you are too weak to be even a bitch's son!
When you see me on the streets,you run!
Coz you can't face me,now face this,son!(punch)"
The rhymes were good, but the lyrics were simple and punches were weak.
Now Skyline, you had a nice flow, your rhyme wasn't nothin to scream over, but I think they were better
"I suggest you take 2nd place and be dismissed/
Before you end up with blood stains all across your sh*t/
Or better yet get wrapped and tagged like a hershey kiss/
Don't try and edit the flow chump stick to the script/
The Phil Jackson of the game with lyrical pick and rolls/
You got more holes in your flows then a bowl of cheerios/
I'm married to the game while you still scared to propose/
Running things like the middle square in tic tac toe/
Mentioning Phil and pick and rolls, I liked that. Your flow was hot. The marriage part, creative, nice punches in your verse too.
Overall, My vote goes to.............................Skyline. I guess you will advance. Now Nova had some nice rhymes, but it wasn't good enough to advance. Sorry.
Lyrical Layer 02-10-2003, 05:24 PM I dont know how the rounds for each and indiviual battle goes...but in this case, mine his knelt down and handed with honor to skyline......everythin moses said i sould be typing, accept that wouldnt be needed
one thing that i can add though is this....you make up a line, and then cant end the second rhyme properly, so u ad a word in to end like soo.
When you see me on the streets,you run!
Coz you can't face me,now face this,son!(punch)
....you threw "son" in their just so it would rhyme....not cool
Ill_Flowz 02-10-2003, 05:30 PM Hey Nova I see you rushed yours like I did,
I have also seen u do better then this,
like how u re-used the word bye 3 times in the first line,
========================
What the fuck I got the urge to go!I'm goin now:
Welcome back,bitch,and now goodbye
Yo fate will be like "Boom Biddy Bye Bye"
========================
it does not seem like you to re-use words,
and other then the line below the rhyme method was basic,
but so was mine so I cant say anything about that...
========================
One move mothafucka,you won' be somewhere in the map
You'll "pass away",and you are physically handicapped:
========================
I have no hate towards ya Dawg as u know.
I just know u can do better then what u dropped....
Now ta Skyline, I have not seen much of your style of flow before
so I cant really say what is diffrent from the last flows u have posted,
but I haft to agree with what Moses21x said about your flow with the opening being
the catching line to get people into the mood and where da flow is headed.
Also not the only word that rhymes being the last word on the line,
like me and Nova Dropped...
So my Vote goes to: Skyline
(by the way NoVa, what my Smith N Western line was about in my battle
was it was like "Smith N Western" from old Western Movies
just the whole shootout thing, one on one, like i'm the top gun
just that sort of thing....)
Yea, you should have said somethin like "gun" something like that.
Lyrical Layer 02-10-2003, 05:47 PM can someone answer me........how many times do we go each round...
it's one round, if you get more votes on your first verse, you advance to the next round. But, you only spit one verse in each round. It goes from 10 to 5 - 2. Read matchups/rules, MCD explained it all very well.
Ms Mack 02-10-2003, 06:44 PM I totally agree with Moses on this one.....Sky already has enough votes to progress there's really no need for me to expound on this battle.
Yeah,thanks everyone!I lost,hehe!But who cares?
Anyways,I'll be votin YOU GUYS off,next time:)))
winner -skyline
