This is also the area for any general discussion for week 6.

[PancakeBrah]

What an odd pick for my example. I was BLACK OUT drunk when I wrote that. Still enjoy it, but it's semi-gibberish.

ALSO IF YOU GUYS WANT AN EXAMPLE OF GOOD IMITATION WHY NOT CHECK OUT ME AND VULGAR'S 'TRADING PLACES' OPEN MIC, IT'S A ROUSING GOOD TIME

/shamelessplug

[zygote]

Yes. Pre-emptivley, all hyperlinks were just picked semi-randomly using the site search function. Basically, first seen first chosen, or randomly chosen if there was a selection/range of search results. No other thought was put into it.

[Certain]

This week is very strange. Given that some people have better styles than others, should those people really be expected to lessen their writing? (This is in no way a comment on my match with Boredom, by the way. I'd use specific examples, but I don't want to insult anyone.)

I think imitation can be a good writing tool, but I don't think it meshes well with competition.

[PancakeBrah]

AM I GOING TO HAVE TO BOLD AND CENTER MY VERSE!?>!?!

[Inno]

you godam right

and certain..certainly name names sir.

[Pinot Grij]

Pinot Grij v Adonis

I'm planning on actually writing this week bro, take the "L" in stride

SEE Adonis... THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T SAY SHIT LIKE THIS, BECAUSE THEN YOU END UP WRITING A VERSE ABOUT AN ANT AND LOSING AND LOOKING LIKE AN IDIOT

[Certain]

Adonis also has picked me to lose the past two weeks, and I've won by a combined vote total of 15-0.

[Pinot Grij]

Adonis writing last week's verse:

http://www.yogiplay.com/main/wp-content/uploads/ant-farm.jpg

[Inno]

Lmao

[Pinot Grij]

45 v 37. Formal Logic v PiE.
PiE is legit... I feel like he overperformed last week.. would like to see him come back down to earth..don't know Formal Logic, so PiE
24 v 10. Certain Serpent v Boredom.
CS is that dude tho. Starting to think I remember him from somewhere. Fresh wording, development. Boredom had great scheme this week, but CS is the total package and will be hard to emulate.
2 v 4 Nigma v Adonis.
Nig. Adonis got that 2005 topical approach. Maybe Nig can dust off his old rhyme book. Works for some, I just appreciate more solid storytelling... gotta go with Nigma
34 v 12. Pinot Grij v The Artful Salopian.
Hi pal.
15 v 41. PancakeBrah v Defy Gravity.
Matchup of the week. Style differential of the week. Both will be difficult to duplicate... Cake gonna have to go over the top in a way he nevers does and Defy gonna have to stay muted and controlled. BOTW obviously.
3 v 42. Innovator v Sharp Nine.
Can't call this one.. not intimately acquainted with either in a way where I know what to expect, so I await with anticipation
44 v 17 v 19. Aesthetic v MikeWrecka v Plot.
How you gonna imitate in a three-way battle? Lord knows. Good luck to you all.
20 v 43. Mr. J. v Pryde.
Mr. J had a nice drop last week, I don't know anything about Pryde tho. Would be tough to write to a newcomer

[PancakeBrah]

Peanut Grease

[Pent uP]

Who is defy grav

[dead man]

fucking j fly

whatup

start posting some DR booty montage vids in discussion son.

Defy Gravity

[Defy Gravity]

dead man what alias do I know you by?


zygote I'm doubting that I show. not feeling the exercise. my verse won't be compelling trying to imitate Pancake brah

[dead man]

Jon dagel. Real name no gimmicks

[Defy Gravity]

Pent uP I championed the topical league in RIA and I post videos of bitches I fuck in puerto Rico and the Dominican republic

[PancakeBrah]

dead man what alias do I know you by?


zygote I'm doubting that I show. not feeling the exercise. my verse won't be compelling trying to imitate Pancake brah

you bold.

and center your verses.






im not insulted.

[Defy Gravity]

Dagel fuck is good. to bad your league stalled on ria

[Defy Gravity]

wasn't an insult PancakeBrah I write off of my imagination. imitating you will limit me, I only know how to do me....understand

[PancakeBrah]

Seeing as how it's not a difficult concept to grasp, yes, I understand. And I think you're a low-tier writer who probably circles his verses and draws stars around them. You should try italicizing, bolding, and centering your verse, and maybe underlining the lines you really like? That'd be extra deep, bro.

[dead man]

Yes, well those sort of things tend to happen when nobody in your dead website league likes or respects you and thinks you're a baby back faggot of epic proportions. But I am used to it by now and thank you for your nice words.

[Defy Gravity]

bolding, underlining and centering is for presentation purposes. I dont like it looking like a slew of jumbled words.

[PancakeBrah]

Nah, it's just pretentious look at me faggotry.

MY JOB IS NOT TO DESCRIBE MY 'STYLE' TO YOU, YOU FOOL. THAT'S YOUR JOB. I HAVE PLENTY OPEN MIKIES UP TO READ. TRY EM ON FOR SIZE FAIRY

[PancakeBrah]

Just read your example piece.

Wow.

I have to be an overly verbose retard with a 16 year old's emo faux-suicide glamorization.

GREAT

[Mike Wrecka]

oh shit Defy Gravity , you gonna let him get away with that ?

[PancakeBrah]

Mike you need to pipe down right now. I'm already plotting your championship loss.

It involves Greece.

[Defy Gravity]

should I entertain this moron? write your verse & stfu

[PancakeBrah]

lololololol

This is what you get when you say ...write a piece from the heart. since I'm heartless I wrote a Suicide piece.



LOL anyone who writes a sentence THAT pretentious with THAT ellipsis trying to be THAT dark and THAT brooding is a tremendous idiot.

[Adonis]

SEE Adonis... THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T SAY SHIT LIKE THIS, BECAUSE THEN YOU END UP WRITING A VERSE ABOUT AN ANT AND LOSING AND LOOKING LIKE AN IDIOT



Like an idiot?

First slow your roll with that shit bro, coming at me sideways aint a good look

2nd, I wrote a very good verse, and to me it was a story, the life of a ANT

Creative and difficult, everything had meaning in there.

But out right calling me a Idiot won't help your cause. I'm actually in a good mood and don't mind it, but going around saying shit will ONLY CAUSE ME TO MAKE A MILLION POSTS STRAIGHT CLOWNING YOU UNTIL YOU implode...promise

play nice and STFU, new week. I don't fret losses.

You wrote a verse where you didn't end the sentence, and half the answers didn't rhyme

see now i'm getting heated. Calma son.

[PancakeBrah]

Peanut Grease's verse was better, though.

[Certain]

FUCK EVERYBODY.

[PancakeBrah]

lol'd

[Objective]

Good luck this week everyone. Props Defy Gravity for your verse last week, I didn't know what to do and went for a concept that I couldn't fulfill, hah, but you definitely did the task justice, big ups on that shit.

[Certain]

i've only ever done flex shit, no topicals. Sorry, I just saw that I needed an OM drop at some point in the sign in and figured that'd be enough

[Sharp]

Adonis.. when you tell someone to take an L cuz you're going hard, then you obviously care about wins an losses so don't lie to the good voting public. And when you lose after predicting a victory, then you look like an idiot. And you couldn't clown me off the site because my whole style is dick and fart jokes, so obviously I have nothing to lose... I'm not Pancaking you right now, so don't hate cuz I called you out on saying something stupid.

[Pinot Grij]

Defy Gravity I understand your stance on not wanting to write like someone else but constraint is the name of this league... use shit as a platform to do something you'd never do and give no fucks about the outcome bro.

[Certain]

I should win if I post this as my verse vs. Boredom:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

[Formal Logic]

By inside the box... Do you mean inside the mind of a genius who's head is shaped like a box?

[Mike Wrecka]

PiE , don't punk out . its not biting. here is a great example of using someones style and still being creative, maybe it will inspire you.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4Onc4fFGlo

[Certain]

I think this week would have been more effective with a challenge of using real rappers' styles. Every battle could have been assigned a legend.

It would have made the verses more fair to compare.

[Mike Wrecka]

that would have been fun

[PiE]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4Onc4fFGlo

we'll have to agree to disagree because it's biting... I'm not going to mock someone else's style like weird Al yankovich.. that's not wassup

[PancakeBrah]

Oh cry me a fucking river.

[Certain]

Wouldn't Formal Logic also need to approve?

[dead man]

we'll have to agree to disagree because it's biting... I'm not going to mock someone else's style like weird Al yankovich.. that's not wassup
dude what are you talking about?

like you created your style of writing in a vacuum? without any influence from other people?

[Pent uP]

agreed

[Inno]

and here I was re wording sharps verse.

godam it

[Formal Logic]

PiE , don't punk out . its not biting. here is a great example of using someones style and still being creative, maybe it will inspire you.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4Onc4fFGlo

Posted a 10 year old verse for him to get a little more of an idea.

[PiE]

dude what are you talking about?

like you created your style of writing in a vacuum? without any influence from other people?

that makes no sense to what I'm saying. obviously I have a style or there couldn't be the task of imitating it for the task of the week. which is the task of the week

[Certain]

that makes no sense to what I'm saying. obviously I have a style or there couldn't be the task of imitating it for the task of the week. which is the task of the week. your insult lacks any formal logic. lol... goodnight

Just curious: Would you have the same feeling if the task were to imitate GZA or 2Pac or someone?

[PiE]

Just curious: Would you have the same feeling if the task were to imitate GZA or 2Pac or someone?

I don't bite anyone period.. and I don't even like either one of the styles you're mentioning anyway.. that's what imitation is. it's a form of fraud. no thanks

[Certain]

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

[PiE]

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

only when done by choice of someone you highly admire. nothing against formal as I knew him from rm, but I wouldn't bite rakim or kool g rap so I definitely wouldn't imitate any text rapper

[Plot]

Will probably need the eggs stench, shawn.

[Mike Wrecka]

Will probably need the eggs stench, shawn.

me 2

[Nigma]

What is up my home skillets

[PancakeBrah]

Wrote the worst verse since I've been here this week. Blech.

[Certain]

I feel the same.

[Inno]

lmao.

Certain Serpent

is that a new weezer album?


ANSWER ME SO I CAN DL IT TOO BRO!!!

[Certain]

lmao.

Certain Serpent

is that a new weezer album?


ANSWER ME SO I CAN DL IT TOO BRO!!!

No, it's Pinkerton, their 1996 album.

[Inno]

on my phone all I could make out was the word weezer.

word up son

I need a new phone.

[Mr. J]

did my best with that horrific style

[PancakeBrah]

Lol yo defy gravity copied the style I used in my vulgar collab....when I used vulgaris style lmao

[Inno]

He also copied vulgars verse..which is a, verse written in your style right?

Lol

[Inno]

Sharp Nine

You showin honkie?

[Sharp]

i got a paper and a fuckton of reading lol

itll be close if i do

prolly not tho

[Inno]

Word...ama murder your shadow though.

That nigga aint safe.

[Nigma]

Props on gettin that 3 person battle up gentlemen

[Inno]

come on sharp...fuck priority bro

[Inno]

Kicks the crickets whats hananin bitches?

[Nigma]

Sup Figjectivator

[Nigma]

Defy Gravity I'm afraid you are going to have to elaborate on your vote in the 3-way battle for it to count.

[Defy Gravity]

Nigma I graded each verse line for line and summarized the vote with this ..

Mike you edged out Plots dope verse
with an easy display of talent and
writing abilities. Possibly verse of the
week. Asethetic your verse was
decent but they came harder and
more focus. Plot this looked an easy
win for you but Mike line for line is a
monster out of the cage...



you want more?

[Plot]

I think practising his sarcastic wit man,
thanks for voting.

[Nigma]

Just fuckin with you defy that was one of th3 best verse breakdowns ive seen in awhile. Props for taking the time to do that

[Defy Gravity]

well I added more anyway

[Inno]

Nigma

Fuck you

[Mike Wrecka]

3 battles guys. should be lots of votes on each.

[PancakeBrah]

I'll vote on the three way match later tonight after schoolwork. I'd argue that voting for that match is more difficult than writing for it, if you're dropping a quality vote. You have to familiarize yourself with the styles of three different people and then weigh quality of verse vs. quality of imitation for three different verses. It's like the Final Paper of Textcee Topical Voting 220.

[Aesthetic]

Protesting, I might not make the vote deadline, ill do my best tho.

[Inno]

Voting tonight
