TOPIC: SOMETHING I STARTED TO WRITE ABOUT AND I WANTED 2 OTHER GREAT MINDS TO WRITE ON IT. WHAT IF WE WE'RE BLIND? EXPLAIN HOW WE WOULD HAVE EVOLVED, HOW YOU THINK THE WORLD WOULD BE, ETC.

GOOD LUCK

I caught me a good break right now. I'm terribly sorry I couldn't vote on the other battles but as Orc said, I've had no access to a comp till recent. I'll make the deadline. Good lookz, Jake..

In..

in..................DAME the pleasure is all mines...........

............peep this....lol

blindness? that would change everything even the Great Man above w/ all the might,
because it wouldnt sound right ta tell those without sight ta let there be light,
aight, ita be a most strange place, everybody w/ the same face,
my type of space, BLACK the only known race ta hold and embrace,
how would you know whose fake, politicians words would have ta hold more weight,
who would care if it was gold or fake, without speakin how would you know if it was Moe or Jake,
here's somethin more ta thank- about, how would the rodes be mapped out 4 safer routes,
how would you eliminate ya enemy efficiently if you wanted ta takem out,
of course there would still be haters like theres haters now- believe it, its constant,
no more universal signs or greetings jus voices and awkward touchins 4 announcement,
no more balls bouncin-grand slams-power plays-or 1 hand grabs,
would we still give a fuck about Jordan-Ruth-Gretzky-or Don Mc Nabb,
which cat would be in the lab, tryna think of portable devices ta help out daily livin,
would Mike still been 'SEEN' as a villian after beatin Robin Givens,
or would Kobe still be known as nice ta children after he jetted out the buildin,
or would Mike know he was touchin children and contested settlin fa millions,
~i'll tell you this much~
faces of different races wouldnt get mixed up, and Lift Every Voice and Sing would be the Hit Cut,
Evolution would be a bitch fa us, just picture Tv OOPS radio,
who woulda been the victim of millions a years of slavery yo?
can you picture this a life of endless nights, how would we cure scared of the dark tykes?
would our other senses grow stronger because we lost sight, we'll hell DareDevils improved,
if we never new doom, would we still be hateful when watchin the doomed news?,
only answers i pressume, are that the whole world would be one big chatterbox,
no houses just baron spots, layin on the same dirt where ya parents rot,
its apparent,
STOP....
there would be no houses or buildings, just lousy millions, with drowsy feelins,
and like Sprint@ night a be the only time you wont have ta pay for any lousy hearin,
'See the world', 'catch you later', 'see u later alligator',
1/2 way there alls u gotta do now is put ya hands together & pray ta ya Savior,
Thata prolly be the person with the most rare- voice, like now ita be a fair choice(sarcasim),
what heroes would we hoist, prolly the one that makes sense while makin the most noise,
but fuck all this i said was in vain as we all should realize,
because the above and afore mentioned is shit did with our real eyes....

Good verse, Black. I wish you the best...

Picture the labyrinthine design of mankind from God’s creation
A vague sense of consummation realized by His occupation
The declivity of our shape hence would ascertain us Homo Sapien
From the plankton to the cavemen or are we just a product of the apes then
The plateau of perfection, our ultimate goal that’s physically attainable
Though available, one can not denounce the ache of those abatable
The fate of those who’s capable genetics were long-lived
But to think of endless dark devoid of eyes would be wrong, kid
Postulate the boundless pales within the daily routine
The environmentally induced impulses made but faintly it’s seen
Basing his mobile coordination on his photon receptors
Deficient of Gamma radiation cells to converge on each sector
Realize the enormous data his brain matter has to gather
But it’s futile ‘cuz he lacks the functions needed for light’s capture
The rapture of the Sun’s rays, the brilliance of seeing
Gives millions of reasons to appreciate the meaning on "scenic" - Believe it,
Mankind was blessed to bare the burden of a retina
‘Cuz Learning and Interpretation emerged when words wouldn’t register
There’d be no Paleolithic scripts in the midst of the cave walls
No Egyptian hieroglyphics depicting the trials that await all
If it were God’s contingency plan to evolve without eyes
Man would have to take it lightly and try to conform with the times
Skin so sensitive it senses the changes in pressure
So that he can stay one step ahead and tell of change in the weather
An assortment of long appendages with cilia strands
That give him a series to grasp to draft a serious plan of action -
Discombobulated, he tries not to attract attention..
..Cuz generations taught that violence holds not the advantage
Without his sight he knows there’s nothing that’s more precious than energy
Preservation of life relies on if one has an elephant’s memory
We’d become a creature of question,
A small tribe of peaceable brethren,
Thinking what life is like if those genes had connected
Without eyes we could never grasp the full magnificent evidence
Of our total human potential from the mind of an Existentialist
Civilization would suffer heavily from a Nexus neglected
Because there’d be no evolution, Man would be the next ones to perish..


Expand your horizons..

man ######## to call for reasons of parreal to the contrast in style lyricism, this topic was did just on both sides Thurz puches a question blew minds with the extended detail considering both answers, good man just in the end Dam indulged his skill in this piece, man kind being question where you two cats related, on and on with absenece is a rap in a sense so Dam made the strongest on that level so To Dam I give my vote, much love still Thurz skills are no question straight up

ON TOPIC: Tie. Thurz immediately got into the topic whereas Damien gave us some background info (starting at God created the world), then getting into the topic.

MULTIS: Both had very very good multis but I feel that Damien gets this vote.
On the topic of Multis, Fix had it simply because it didn't seemed like it was forced at any time. JM's was tight work aswell, but I felt at times you simplified your multis just so that it would rhyme better. You can still orchestrate a verse with well-thought out rhymes without sacrificing ya' words.
I believe that the same can be said here.

ORIGINALITY: Damien. I pretty much expected someone (in this case, Thurz) to just plainly tell me what would life be like if there was no sight. I like how Damien took all the back to starting with God and the creation of man and the world.

IMAGERY: Tie. I believe you both did well on imagining an world without sight.

DEPTH: Damien. Mainly because of how far back in time he went to describe a world devoid of sight.

WORDPLAY: Thurz. I know that Damien had them too but I noticed Thurz much quicker.

METAPHORS: Once again, Damien without a doubt.

VOCABULARY: Damien takes this, no doubt about it. He had words that I had to look up and my vocabulary is pretty extensive.

FINAL VOTE: Damien.

I agree Thurz, this was a difficult topic to write about. Good show from you, nonethless.
