Your an executive of a Major Label. You have to "dispose" of a particular artist. What do you do and explain how you do it.

Good Luck

...in checker...g'luck kat should be tite...

check....yea....this will be tite

...a reporter from BIG SHOT magazine sits opposite, tape recorder in hand...she's preparing to interview me about the building of my dynasty - BIONIKILZ CO. ...knowing i'm about to "release" an artist from his contract i have invited her to sit in on the thoughts process...

** presses record **

purple hazed skies appear as the sunsests on a career cliche/
someone has to aid todays tomorrows disappear to yesterdays/
when dreams subside & can't be revived someone has to load the coffin/
and someone has to shut the door when opportunity's finished knockin/
* gestures with hands *
this crystal palace - this marble table behind which i wheel & deal
with a fist of malace...money & power slay any guilt i feel/
i can promptly pluck a star if it stops winkin-in-the-sky/
and i'll crucify last weeks messiah without the blinkin-of-an-eye/
i tell em - sign autographs before the maths facts & figures
combine decline...the chart packs a bullet but i pull the trigger/
the aftermaths an acrobat would struggle balancin the fineline/
between being clapped & getting clapped...between bottom line & welfare line/
it's almost tragic to take a regal career & have to make it end/
don't get nostalgic it's about the legal tender - never about making friends/
in this trial i'm the judge...the jury...the prosecution/
my business card says major exec - abbreviation for major exec-ution/

i determine who's hired or who's retired/
i decide ya fate if ya used-by-dates expired/
i let ya know ya not required if ya no longer desired/
so step into my office - ya fucking fired/ **
**(said in voice from something about mary)

you see it's sun tzu art of war in business - only the strong survive/
when time's expired its unfeasible to rewind hands counter clockwise/
but you can't sympathise - it's dog-eat-dog and bite not bark prevails/
two-by-two becomes every man forself when the ark loses its sails/
ya best to bail-not try to bale- when your ship it quits to float/
when you're up shit creek forget the paddle-jump straight into the lifeboat/
it takes arctic blood...a frigid heart to tell a major he's minute/
when twelve months before you prostituted morales for your number one recruit/
but you don't reach the tip of the spire without some kickin & some screamin/
and you can't erect an empire without some lickin & some schemin/
and if to remain at the apex you are required to execute a Judas kiss/
you smile...focus on their eyes & simply plant one on their lips/
the platinum plaques the pack the wall pay homage to the fact/
that when it's time to sack this chap a guilt free conscience remains intact/
with edward scissor hands i'll simply pat him on the back/
and say step into my office Mr Kataracks...let's have a little chat/

** interview ends **

See Burn-had-the-remnants of a legend his skills kept a determined-attendance
Had talent but his units just wasn't moving like they permanent-tenants
No female fan-base cuz nipples never really stood firm-in-his-presence
And kids grimaced at his voice like hearing its their turn-at-the-dentist
I learned-that-his-menace was that he's hard-headed, barely soft-at-heart
Measuring his arrogance was like his presence on Billboard...off-the-charts
Then he resembled worn out lighters after a while the way he lost-his-spark
He must of signed away his humility on the deal...switched his talk-to-smart
Could be my fault cuz through conversations I think he learned-the-hint
That he could have made his mark in the world like the German-mint
When I say Burn would blow in the blink of an eye...Burn-would-wink
But he got bitter when he would sea-food like Burned-up-shrimp (see)
Quickly times-changed and the time-came when I got sick of his mind-frame
My mind changed twice on the cell before he picked up the line-sayin
Dumb shit like "the fuck you want" I said "I want you to catch this message
Im taking you off the label like price tags for christmas presents

Contracts and Prison Terms..Its one and the same
Street Gangs and Record Firms..Its one the same
There's time when you gotta deal with the rebels
So this is how you supposed to break a deal with the devil


At last-the-weight was lifted but that was just the mask-on-face
Cuz the situation got heavy when he came asking for the mastered-tapes
Im like bastard-wait the documents show I own all recordings in past-due-dates
His niggas sizin me up askin how much space would my casket-take
Now thats-just-great..Him and his goons had motives to make me resort to my old-ways
He threw hiw intentions out there and I quickly caught on like Rice in his Super Bowl-days
But Im Rodman in business and war because I basically go both-ways
So one glance of my glock had them running-back to they places like OJ
Broken-hearted-to-know that the industry aint really all about how hard-you-could-flow
Behind the illuminating glares of the ice the dark side of the business started-to-show
As far-as-you-go you gonna always have to use some dominant-tactics
And shadiness in the business is about as fucking common-as-plastic
So after hearing-the-plot of how he was creating a scare-on-the-block
Saying how he changed up more than the fuckin gears-in-my-drop
Sending threats like I aint knew that he was really fearin-my-props
Cuz I had people I knew in his hood who been preparing-their-glocks
All I got to do was give the word and them soldiers-will-blast
Then have him meet the similar fate of the other foes-of-my-past
And the words in the threats he was sendin..well those-was-his-last
Miami Herald.."Bern found in garbage"..thats how I "disposed"-of-his-ass

ON TOPIC: Both stayed on topic really well, i enjoyed both of your verses...so this is a tie
FLOW: Kat had the sick multis which helped his flow it was fluently writtin and flowed, ad u got caught up in some of your bigger words and hurt ya flow a little bit...
MULTIS: Kat took this, used 4-5 word multi match ups that matched up well and were fluently spit...some inner multi schemes too...
VOCAB: ad took vocab, had some nice words i am going to take from u and use myself :) ....ad took vocab great use of the words and made sense in the verse...
ORIGINALITY: for some reason i expected someone to use one another and ad did...but it a sense it still threw me off...i liked how kat had a person in there and used his name for wordplay in different areas...wasnt expecting that...both threw me for a twist...tie
IMAGERY: The way ad used his vocab helped out his imagery and the wording on it helped alot too...kats wordplay and metas helped out with his wordplay and there was a nice stretch in the 1st verse that had that...i would go ad slightly on this catagory
DEPTH: i would go ad, kat woulda took it if he stayed as consistent as he did in the 1st verse...
WORDPLAY: Kat killed the wordplay he won this hands down
METAPHORS: same as above
HOOK ORIGINALITY: i was feeling ad's hook alot more, seemed to go better with his verse and stuck out more to me


Overall this was a nice battle, cat came real ill and raw with his flow/multis & metas/wordplay...your verse was flames in the beginning there was like 5 lines i wanted to quote in my sig b.c they stood out that much to me, i could basically quote your whole 1st verse...but the 2nd verse was ehh to me, rushed i felt, but i did like the ending so you saved face so to speak..

ad u came sick with vocab/imagery/depth which is very important to a topical, you also had a real nice hook to boot...flow was shakey at times along with multis...lacked in wordplay and metas compared to kats, you had a pretty solid verse nothing really stand out but nothing really said why am i still reading this...

all in all i feel kat won this...the catagories he lost he was close in, both had their strong points and weak points, both fell off at times with consistency but i feel kat had a more stand out verse and made me enjoy it more

vote-kat

great battle you 2

On topic - Kat, both stayed on topic nicely, but I think Kat stuck to the whole "How do you do it" part of the topic.
Flow - Kat... His flowed a little bit better because of his multis.
Multis - Kat... More, better, and more syllables.
Vocab - ad... No explanation really needed. He just had a better vocab.
Originality - ad...
Imagery - Kat... He went in further with what was happening.
Depth - Kat... I just felt the emotions from his more.
Wordplay - Kat, of course. He had alot more wordplay then ad did.
Metaphors. - Kat, same as above.
Hook Originality - ad...

Pretty nice battle, both came very nicely. Ad did alot better than I expected. I guess I underestimated him because I've never heard of him. ad did have a nice verse, both overall I felt Kats was better. He came with flow, imagery, wordplay, metas, depth, pretty much took everything that really matters in a topical. So on that my...

Vote - Kat.

Up for votes...

Kataracks wins 2-0 due to time stoppage.
