Commentary

This week's commentary by: Nocturne

"What's the deal Rapworlds?! It's your boy Nocturne, aka the dark angel bringing you the highlights from last weeks battle league match ups... I have to say though, last weeks battles were kind of soft... the fuck's up with that? A lot of people seemed to have underestimated the potential of their oponents... People no showing.. WHAT THE HELL!? BUT!! Nevertheless, we still had a few good battles that were on point... Congratulations to those who advanced to the next round... We'll have to see who'll be bringing home the belt. For starters, we're going to distribute the awards for last weeks competition..."

This week for the best battle award I have chosen: Die A Bd'z vs. -Disobedient- (http://www.rapworlds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54912)

Encouragement Award:

This week for the encouragement award I have chosen Young $tacks$

Keep doing your thing play boy... You stepped in the league looking like a newbie to most of the senior members. Despite the rank given to you placed by the Rapworld class system, you definatley showed a lot of courage to enter the league for the wins. I admire your ambition, and encourage you to keep elevating. You're going to be trouble pretty soon...

Best Voter:

This week for the best vote award I have chosen Bladed Thesis

Blade has participated in voting on battles more consistantly. Some with partial breakdowns, some with thorough breakdowns..Eitherway, Blade deserves this weeks voters award.

. You have won the opportunity to choose your opponent in week 3. Please PM the moderators to inform them of your choice.

Congratulations to all winners.

For The Newbies

This week's topic is Spinna and ImYourDad has kindly agreed to share his knowledge on the subject:

"Well, in the start of their elevation, I believe these two emcees did an amazing job. Both have the drive to become better lyricist and make excellent attempts in advancing their talents. Spinna, a female emcee, has made it evident that she's here to make a new for herself. InYourDad, although he uses a basic style, IYD attempts to improve his talents are evident in his battles."



We'll be bringing you next weeks issue as soon as possible. Meanwhile, congratulations to the winners of last weeks battles!! Be sure to check out Rapworlds Battle League Magazine in every BL competition!! Remember...

ELEVATION HAS NO LIMIT!!!


Thanks

* Genisis, Dominate, Saracen & Nocturne for their hard working running this league.

*Nocturne for his commentary on last week's battles.

*Nocturne for his predictions & commentary on this week's battles.

*Nocture for sharing his expertise in the "for the newbies" article

*Other

*All participants & voters.

Nice job man I'd rep but I've repped too recently. Not accusing you of bias cuz I know it was unintentional, but lol at AP having 4/5 top punches. But yeah good mag, I like the predictions report and punchline report, the other things like the Interviews with emcees is kinda cool but keep doing this it'll get this even more active.

Thanks man... Actually, I want to let everyone know that I had to rush this issue kind of... We're all ready behind... So that may be part of the reason I have AP as top 5.... BUT!!! Those are actually some of the best ones.... Actually, AP is the dominant crew in the league, our whole damn crew is in.... Actually, if you guys use the quotable lines thread, it may help with the next issue...:)


I understand though lol... I just copied a few of the punches I liked personally... but maybe it'll be better if we have people post what ones would be good for that part of the mag... Mind you, I just did this shit in 30 mins... So get off my nuts lol... j/k

good job on the mag, but a parkinsons line in there? :(

seen many times...

but good job, i may help for this weeks if you need it, but dont count on it.

^ Lmfao!!! Listen damnit... I did this whole shit by myself.... I'd be DAMNED if one of my lines weren't in there!! Haha... Thanks for the feed though... You'll need to help me on the next one... That shit is NOT as easy as it looks... :(

jus lemmie know

^^^^Maybe you can get assigned journalists, like one for interviewing an emcee, one of the more active newbies to do the newbie report, someone can manage the quotables thread and count up the results etc. I'll help in any of the topics too.

Yeah good idea... Some kid PM'ed me about that, but I forgot what his name was...:(

same here.. i think its imcoolurnot or somethin

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Nocturne again.

Props on this, magazines always attract more people to drop sick..

Yeah, that's the kid.... He PMed me saying he'd like o do interviews... So we may have to look into that..

It's cool.. Props. Will rep you when the system allows me to.

All right... Check it out...

Because we're all ready into the third week, I am going to skip the second weeks issue... Why? Because it's going to be too much of a hassle to catch up with the previous battles and still produce a good magazine.... I don't want to rush the next one... So I'll be keep good track of the third weeks progress that way the magazine isn't rushed... Actually, this one wasn't that bad.... but I know alot of things were inaccurate... So I just want everyone to know that the next issue of BL magazine will not be up until the third week is over.... Voting for this week ends tomorrow.... I may actually work on the second issue when I go home... Not sure. I'll play around with the idea... If it's convenient, I'll do it... Otherwise, issue 3 will take the place of issue 2, and we'll go from there...

Lol Me And Die Didnt Even Battle....

^^^^I think he meant you and Bladed Thesis, or Die and Ayperos, cuz that was a dope battle too.

Just got an idea for a mini-article for this .. The Underdog award, for the best victory against all odds. Like if someone is predicted to lose by everyone's prediction thread thing, and they end up winning or maybe even KO-ing, then they can get that award. Obviously, it doesn't apply to no-show wins.

Damnit... I meant to be Blade, not Die... My fault..

wow...............very Impressive

GREAT job on the magazine boys

NICE MAG!!!!

BUT NOC SAID "last weeks battles were kind of soft."

IM SIGNED UP FOR NEXT WEEK, ILL TEND TO CHANGE THAT QUOTE, LMAO!!!!

Good Job on the Maggy Nocturne!

Yeah good idea... Some kid PM'ed me about that, but I forgot what his name was...:(

Some kid, huh? It was ME DAMMIT!!!


Well, I'm over that now. So about the magazine . . . ?

No, it wasn't you... You PM'ed me after that kid did... But I was referring to ImCoolUrNot when I made that post... I just couldn't remember the name at the time..

oh okay. well i feel much better now. so how bout it? i could do that newbie thing, since most people on this site still consider me a rookie

It's fine with me... But you'll have to get Gens approval as well...

i dont care

Yahoo MSG conversation:

retropimp_88: I asked Noc whether i can help him with the RBL Magaz ine. this is what he said-
retropimp_88: 't's fine with me... But you'll have to get Gens approval as well...":
dont_touch_me_there04: i dont care
retropimp_88: well, is it okay if i help witthe mag? this is the link: http://www.rapworlds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55729&page=3
retropimp_88: cool. i'll let him know

i guess its okay wit him

All right then... The issues for the RBL are really backed up though... So we'll be starting off fresh with this weeks.... We have to be consistant from here on out..
