NYCSPITS 02-27-2006, 06:51 PM Nice verse, I'll post when I get back from hockey.
Peace
NYCSPITS 03-01-2006, 09:21 PM Cyan = Chorus of the Panamanian bourgeoisie
Bold = ronald reagan
Omar Torrijos, the champion of people-oppressed
At his death, the poor were left, feeble-n-wrecked
He legally-stressed, "democracy's" regal-effects...
And "zoned in" on poverty like an eagle-in-nest
Greed ceased-his-breath ; America leased-the-death
To control commerce's gate between east-n-west...
Released-in-press ; Torrijos promoting-the-drug-trade
While his ways in fact made toting-the-slugs-fade
Corporate maids amuck, greedy-n-planning-"laws"-banal
To dictate through the treaty-of-Panama's-canal
The tough locale continued company death-spree-lies
Democracy's dead, vis-a-vis the FBI
Officials deftly-tried to reduce-their-lies
Criminals hide, disguised in their suits-and-ties
The prize? A far cry from stints in penitentiaries
The most lucrative engineering project in-a-century...
Eventually the president lost, it was plain-he-was-deaded
So he skewed media views on Panamanian-ethics
They wouldn't let-em gain ground, he passed-all-limits
Along with Reagan's "cowboy" hollywood fast-draw-image ...
No flaws-in-it, I got him "seein stars" like astronomy
Don't help the needy, let's promote the U.S.'s-economy
It's on-me, backward countries fascinating-the-rich
The bureau's on this, I'm assassinating-the-bitch
Bomb his plane with a "glitch" cuz no association-is-left
He's bereft, decked ... I'll control-his-nation-in-death
What's next, frankess is something that I couldn't-avow
A role model for future leaders that we wouldn't-allow..
Now stopping hunger stops countries from molding-thugs
So we slandered it all, claimed "he's promoting-drugs"
Whole and just, there's no way to escape-the-order
Melted his brains with a bomb in a tape-recorder...
Disorder in America, a tragedy of greed-awry
Guys turned a blind-eye or believed-the-lies
Foreign headlines of America harassin-nations
"Murder, president dead in assassination"
In all places we were seen as decided-fakes
Just business as usual in the United-States....
"The missile is not created that can kill an ideal"
-Omar Torrijos, ( 1929-1981 )
Good luck
No SS, Fixion, or jimmy white votes. My fanclub is also not allowed to vote. Thanks.
Vokals 03-02-2006, 04:05 AM i'll get to this tomorrow if it isnt finished up
NYCSPITS 03-02-2006, 06:18 PM I see you all infesting this thread like AIDS in african orgies during the 1970's....wtf @ the lack of votes??
Vokals 03-02-2006, 10:24 PM On Topic: tie, both did their thing
Depth: hard to decide, bladed went into a variety of thing which ended up as 1 ending, and spits stayed on 1 topic through the end... i say bladed b.c he was able to incorporate a variety of things
Imagery: blades greater vocab helped put out alot of imagery and his imagery was more vivid than spits simple wordplay
Originality: bladed, didnt expect that at all, spits i kinda expected urs from the get go
Flow: tie, bladed had nice vocab which wasnt forced into the flow and fit well, line length was better this time than in our battle, spits urs was easy going as usual so no complaints there
Multis: tie, both used multis well, inners and outters, not much forced from either
Enjoyment: bladed, just liked his original feel to it, hooked me right in and wanted to go on, spits i expected and didnt get into it as much
Vocab: bladed, showed def superior knowledge in vocab and it wasnt forced
Overall: i say bladed won, won the catagories that mattered and it was more enjoyable to read, spits was average prolly procrastinated like usual, decent verse but bladed won this
NYCSPITS 03-02-2006, 11:50 PM Vocab: bladed, showed def superior knowledge in vocab and it wasnt forced
Not swayin, but LMFAO @ that comment..lolololol
uppin this
Yurluzn Bracket 03-03-2006, 02:53 AM Multis...
NYC- Had a numerous amount of multi multis...
Bladed- Had a redickulous amount of single/double word multis...
Both had some that were off, so I'm not gonna pick a winner, because the multis were crazy and when coming that crazy, it's hard to keep a proper multi 100%
TIE
On Topic...
NYC- Had a more basic topic, which had a narrow idea to expand.
Bladed-Focused on everything, which gave us a bigger picture.
I never thought I'd say this, but I think NYC edged this because of the fact that it was BASIC,easier to follow one main point, instead of throwing mass ideas down.
NYCSPITS
Originality:
This was a tie too, I don't really think any of these were too original. The idea of original is creativity... none had a really big amount of creativity to it. This needs to elevate from both of you
TIE
Depth:
NYCSPITS: As I said, he focuses on one point and general idea. This gave one story life.
Bladed- Pulls numerous ideas. Gives a mass amount of stories life
BLADED
Flow:
NYC- nice flow, not too much that was off here.
BLADED- Same thing goes for your flow.
I think the multis really helped shit move along well.
Vocab:
NYC- Vocab had some advancements in it. I really don't know what other people were thinking.
Bladed- although better wording the SPITs, the content was rather slightly above basic. yea he had some advanced lit into it, but not really enough to beat spits.
NYCSPITS
Enjoyment:
None really were that enjoyable. not trying to hate on the verses put forward. lyrically they were good, but rather sluggish in content.
TIE
OVERALL:NYCSPITs
He edges this one lightly, and that's just because of the fact that he had a little bit more put forward in it. He actually decided to stick to one idea, which made it easier to follow, where the approach bladed took was much like societies ills, in the first couple of verses... which has been played upon numerous times. Had he included any creative twist to why this was happening, he would have taken the win.
.Inphinite. 03-03-2006, 11:15 AM On Topic: Tie
Depth: Bladed - Better thought out I think and there was more attention to detail
Imagery: Bladed
Originality: Bladed - I expected something to do with the US Government.
Flow: Tie
Multis: Tie
Enjoyment: Bladed
Vocab: Bladed
Overall: vote - Bladed. He had a much better verse in my opinion - much more thought out and original. I also felt Spit's verse wasn't that good. I mean, he was Reagan, so why did you have wordplay such as the "seein stars"? Thats not something that character would say. In technical terms, it was good, but nothing stand-out either. Bladed took this, quite easily imo.
A.J. Hustler 03-03-2006, 12:04 PM On Topic: tie
Depth: tie (both took dif. ways and gave good detail to me)
Imagery: nyc
Originality: tie
Flow: nyc (felt balded's were a tad stretched)
Multis: tie
Enjoyment: nyc
Vocab: bladed
Overall: nyc...
iuno man, this was a real good battle....but, imo, bladed's first 2 verses were tight , but after that, he sorta trailed off into something else imo, just didn't feel as good as the first 2 verses to me...I liked nyc's story, no doubt it's based on a true story...and i mean, when it came to reagans part, i could picture him sitting in a little room with his neo-con buddies saying that type of shit... shit was real close, but i gotta go with NYC
Aphraedite 03-03-2006, 05:08 PM On Topic: Tie. Both stayed on topic.
Depth: Tie again. Both included important details in their verses.
Imagery: Bladed. It actually made me fell kinda sick reading some of it. Real vivid images here.
Originality: Bladed. I liked the fact that it wasn't automatically US-related. Spits' verse had some original concepts to it, but was expecting something a little different. =\
Flow: Spits. Read right along, nice line length, Didn't have to stop n restart again like with Bladed's.
Multis: Spits. SOLID throughout, an all-the-time strength... Bladed's weren't BAD, but the question is whose were tighter.
Enjoyment: Bladed. It was original, therefore kept me more interested as to the outcome and where he was going with it.
Vocab: Bladed. It wasn't forced, and actually added to the overall feel of the verse.
Overall: Bladed.
Spits~ Your verse wasn't BAD and by no means does my vote mean that. I liked how well it flowed and you moved your story right along. Nice job on it.
Bladed~Wasn't expecting that. Great imagery and superior vocab. LOVED THIS!
Nice battle, you two...
Stay Forever Elevating...
NYCSPITS 03-03-2006, 06:42 PM lmfao @ gen editing my relevant posts...shit like that makes this site gay...
That vote shouldn't even be counted...vocab? I used superior vocab, it was not forced, and was relevant to the topic...I'd like quoted examples of my "forced vocab" and bladed's "superior vocab" next time some1 votes or else it's not counting
NYCSPITS 03-03-2006, 06:52 PM Matter of fact I'm not allowing LadyRae's vote until she quotes examples of my "forced vocab" and bladed's "superior vocab" , as well as a description of what she deems as "on topic"
pz
Kronologik 03-03-2006, 07:01 PM Stop complaining about the damn votes, they were all explained well enough. If you want to challenge the votes, then the votes given for you will also be challenged. You can't just not allow every vote given against you.
Aphraedite 03-03-2006, 07:03 PM I didn't say that your vocab was forced, Spits, simply that Bladed's was VERY good and still wasn't forced in a way that took away from his verse. His wordchoice amplified the overall feel of the verse.
NYCSPITS 03-03-2006, 07:28 PM go ahead and dispute all the votes kron, my vocab was more sophisticated duh...it just doesn't make logical sense to give him vocab, I just want some quotations DUHHH

^my fav part
was a very profound written work i loved the structure, message, and creativity
spit's
Released-in-press ; Torrijos promoting-the-drug-trade
While his ways in fact made toting-the-slugs-fade
^ i really liked the start
No flaws-in-it, I got him "seein stars" like astronomy
^seemed slightly forced and i'd read-heard it before
this was also a good verse
was using bereft unless he was saying he loved but wasn't loved back... i'll give the benefit of the doubt though
On Topic: tie both were on topic
Depth: i thought bladed went more indepth
Imagery: about equal
Originality: bladed's was more original to me i really enjoyed it seemed more complex
Flow: both had nice flow
Multis: both had nice multis
Enjoyment: i honestly enjoyed bladed's more though they were both well written
Vocab: spit ill had this one... some might have thought some seemed forced but they all seemed in place to me... i hesitated on bereft then i realized he was saying the president had love for the country but we have no love for him
Vote: bladed i just think he put more into it
great verses on both peeps parts
stay up

Yurluzn Bracket 03-03-2006, 09:13 PM im gonna be honest if there's one thing that spits won by a longshot, it's definatly vocab.
Vocab is an extended knowledge of words one gains as he is taught. (my definition) not how well you word what you write.
Not trying to sway/dickride/hate... just giving my opinion, because there seems to be a dispute going on about this.

Whiteowl's knowledge of rap > Ladyrae's knowledge of rap.
I don't allow rookies to vote on my shit...
I would also argue against gen's vote but that's like trying to throw and eggshell through a brick wall ... just won't get through the denseness
With mind bogglingly irrelevant comments like "spits sweetie his vocab was just better" ... im gonna have to disallow it...trust me I gladly accept honest votes like bustahymen's....
0-2
NYCSPITS 03-03-2006, 10:09 PM by the way this is fucking bullshit I had shit to do that was unexpected and couldn't post it should be 2-2 right now
anyways im out pz
