Top 20 Topical Heads of All Time

[StarFaggot]

- Black D., from another site I was on I forget

- Hemlock, from Rapworlds was ridiculous

- Pembroke from rapflava

- Yitkisha from rapflava

- Bladed Thesis from RWs

That's all I know bros. I'll give Vulgar from NC a nod as well

[Ghost1]

Isnt pembroke vulgars name when he was a biter on rf....loooooool

[StarFaggot]

really? Loooooool

[Ghost1]

LOL i thought that was the joke.....

Hahaha. Yes really.
Vulgar to confirm.

[Vulgar]

Nah I was originally a biter on RF when I first registered as Vulgar. Then I got banned for biting on some other names from 2005-2006.

Pembroke was my buddy's account that I took over. Never bit past age 15 lol. I was a dumb kid back then.

[PancakeBrah]

:0

[Fig]

Vulgar you will be never forgiven

[Exis]

Pembroke was Vulgar tryna be black ; )

[Ghost1]

Please.tell me.vulgar saod he was a black guy on the pembroke accnt

Please?

[Fig]

I forgive you vulgar

I've bitten from jayquan more often than not

[ill nik-A]

Kung did the same and became a beast

Grow and learn

I forgive u too

The Stone Age era G

my reaction:

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

You look hella different than I thought?

[Vulgar]

Yes, it's true. I get called out on my past every so often but it doesn't really bother me at all. I'm a different person now, a man. Back then I was a boy who enjoyed plagiarizing, messing around and I just wanted to win battles. Pembroke was indeed a black persona lol. I'm good at pulling off aliases, which is why to this day Sir Oswald Swansberg was undetected.

What comes around goes around though, but in a constructive way. Eventually I saw some of my own verses bitten over the internet. I can sympathize with people who need to bite to feel more invincible, but I don't have any remnant left of the teenage me left inside. tbc

[StarFaggot]

If you imitate the best eventually you will discover your own style and be the best.

[Witty]

21 HOF's

Just saying.

[Chyeahhh!!!]

Congrats on making it to my sig vulg

[Vulgar]

^eh?

lol @ the tags

[ill nik-A]

Cimmerian
Pulse
Envy

[Chyeahhh!!!]

Oh no disrespect. I'm just sigging shock quotes

[Fart]

I haven't read many topicals at all since I was on RB. Black D and Auspicious were the only greats imo.

[Ghost1]

Noooooo !

Lol i think biting.is a lesser offense then chris browning....lol.

Mimicing mimic.




Klaboom.

[Chyeahhh!!!]

Dare I do the Dylan's?

[Chyeahhh!!!]

Omgnat mimic that shit was priceless

[Certain]

Someone make a real list. trap? Lars? Pent uP? Soulstice? I was away for too long to do it well. Richard Corey, Rikoshay, Sacrifice, TaLi and Vern Acular are mandatory inclusions, if we're basing this off actual topical battle competition instead of open mic verses.

[Pent uP]

I can drop my list but itll exclude a bunch of ppl im sure

[Certain]

Would you exclude any of those five? (I added TaLi to the above list because he's another clear-cut member of the top 10 or so.)

[Split]

which is why to this day Sir Oswald Swansberg was undetected.

I got sum bad newz

[Soulstice]

Sacrifice, Tali, 3Pa, rikoshay, black d, richard corey, vulgar, pent up i dunno... B.E? Bounce from Rb, ledgenz also of rb or whoever he was biting was good... dvs? howard winter?

http://www.projectrhyme.com/forums/f4/top-50-b-boys-project-rhyme-topicalists-all-time-5155/
^old list, cant say i recognize many names

[Witty]

Bounce was awesome, he had this one piece about Billie Holiday that was very nearly perfect.

[Certain]

That's only B-Boys and Project RHYME, not even close to encompassing the best overall. I recognize a lot of those names, though.

It's tough because you have to factor in guys like Fracture, who probably has a 25-3 record in topical battles and is one of the best writers I've come across on these boards. But he never really committed to topical battling, so what do you do with him?

[Fart]

wait isnt dead man Black d?

[Pent uP]

Would you exclude any of those five? (I added TaLi to the above list because he's another clear-cut member of the top 10 or so.)

Not at all
....funny enough I started making a list and I have a clear top 10. An elite top 10 if u will and then everyone else is an honorable mention but not one that I think fucks with the top 10.

So I can't confidently name a top 20. Lol

[Witty]

He probably isn't too well known due to only being active on RB (I think) but That Kid Cry is one of the best topical writers I've come across, and without doubt the most consistently dope, week in and week out.

Oats is really good too, he should be up there.

Baron Mynd in his day was head and shoulders above everyone.

[Witty]

Also, question...do any old RB heads remember a guy called Atticus? And if so, where did he go?

dead man Soulstice @anybody else this applies to.

[Pent uP]

Im not an rb head but I remember him

[dead man]

Art he was..

pembroke was great. i remember being a little disappointed when you exposed yourself Vulgar cause it was like losing a dope member of the site.

as for the best..dynasty aka shivas siq'al is the reason i started writing anything besides battle verses in the first place. i think he would top my all-time list. after that it gets more difficult

[Witty]

Im not an rb head but I remember him

Does he still post anywhere?

[Certain]

Not at all
....funny enough I started making a list and I have a clear top 10. An elite top 10 if u will and then everyone else is an honorable mention but not one that I think fucks with the top 10.

So I can't confidently name a top 20. Lol

Post it up. How many are still active?

[Witty]

And post links to their pieces.

The only way to be the best is to read the best.

[Fart]

Cry was also dope. Witty

[Pent uP]

Post it up. How many are still active?
No order:

Richard corey
Pulse
Rikoshay
Tali Rodriguez
Vernacular
Dicnyaeye
Blacketh
Sacrifice
3PA
Jowelz (I think thats who im thinking of)

Honorable mentions but not of that elite stature (in my humble opinion)
WWIII
Tha Talent
Baron mynd
Oats
Vulgar
Angkor
Pinot grij
Ribo nuke
Cimmerian
Black Jesus


My criteria is a mix between consistency of drops, amount participated in leagues in their era, and out of 100 battles with any one other person how many I think theyd win

The top half I think would win 95+ /100 against just about everyone, the bottom half people are just as dope pretty much except I cant see them winning the majority of battles against anyone on the top half. Idk im probably gonna catch shit for my list

[Pent uP]

Cry was also dope. Witty

And post links to their pieces.

The only way to be the best is to read the best.
Im on my phone...not gonna happen
Does he still post anywhere?

I havent seen him since the 64 man tournament I was in at rb...roughly 3 years ago?

[Certain]

Jowelz was awesome, probably the best comedic storyteller I've read, but he was lazy as fuck. Has Cimmerian ever been in a topical battle? I can't recall reading anything by him longer than 16 lines.

Your list is fine, even if I did roll my eyes at dicnyaeye. I suppose he stuck around long enough to warrant a spot. He wasn't better than most of the people on the second list, though.

[Pent uP]

Jowelz was awesome, probably the best comedic storyteller I've read, but he was lazy as fuck. Has Cimmerian ever been in a topical battle? I can't recall reading anything by him longer than 16 lines.

Jowelz was like 33-1
Im sure cimm has. It was on whatever site ribonuke and killamanjaro were on..rap something I think
Also a fan of killamanjaro while im name dropping

[Certain]

You might be confusing Jowelz for Peril~Eyes or Warren Worthington III (though you included him). Jowelz was like 56-17 or something.

[Pent uP]

Say what you will. Undefeated in rm tournaments. Beat every name there is to beat. Double digit champs, like 3 of them during the highest era while the elite were cheating. Idk seems legit for me. Ive seen him do a lot and in my opinion he can out write everyone on the second list in a few categories.

[Certain]

Lol @ "When The Elite were cheating."

No one was aware of what Omen was doing.

And I beat him in an RM tournament.

[Pent uP]

You might be confusing Jowelz for Peril~Eyes or Warren Worthington III (though you included him). Jowelz was like 56-17 or something.

Fuck I forgot peril
But yeah u get the idea. But I dont know the rb/rf/hhd sides too well...I know like cry brandon millz cormier muff and a few other big names but always felt they were overrated

[Pent uP]

Lol @ "When The Elite were cheating."

No one was aware of what Omen was doing.

And I beat him in an RM tournament.

I remember him being undefeated in tournaments.

The elite were cheating as a franchise, omen was just the tip of the ice berg.

You told me youd reveal your old alias after the awol season...reveal it

[Certain]

Fine, it's been long enough. I was Tha Talent. And I beat him in an RM tournament.

http://rapmusic.com/threads/south-11-busterhymen-vs-7-dicenyaeye-vs-2-tha-talent.809028/

That's probably one of my favorite verses I wrote, which is why I remember.

And I swear to you that Vern Acular, Mac Flow and I had no fucking clue about Omen. Well, unless they were lying to me. But I had no idea.

[Pent uP]

I came back here to say I forgot awedishin. Thats amazing though if what you say is true...youre the last of the mohicans in a sense. I mean traps in the tournament but I havent been impressed with him in his recent ventures

I always thought the elite was more or less a voting ring

And you have still never given me a good review haha. Good to see you still at it though

[Certain]

I was the only guy voting against Omen half the time, it seemed. No one seemed to care that his verses never were on topic.

I respected him as a writer (until of course I found out that he wasn't writing), but his style was purposefully vague. I had been gone for a while when the biting (or grand-scale plagiarism, really) was revealed, and I came back like six months later to check in and was just fucking stunned.

Let's not forget that I was screwed over by him, too. Once I beat or tied (I can't remember, but it was very close) him in a title match, voted but forgot to edit in the links and was docked based on that so that he won. At the time, I let it slide but signed out because I was a bit miffed. Now, that really fucking pisses me off.

[Pent uP]

Its all done and worthless now. This wouldve been a good dialogue for a mag article for the tourney. Oh well

[Certain]

And you have still never given me a good review haha. Good to see you still at it though

I've always been hardest on good writers because no one else is.

In 2005, I would have been on that list's top three, but I'm glad to see that you remembered me at all by now. I haven't written under Tha Talent in a long time.

I used a handful of other names for very brief runs at a handful of sites, though not either version of Netcees. The ones I recall are Calloused, Scattered Ashes and Vaudeville.

[Pent uP]

I appreciate that. I dont recall any of those names. Interesting to see you going under the radar work....it never worked for me for whatever reason

[trap.]

That's a really good list Pent uP. I'm glad you got to 20 because I got to 7 and couldn't remember all the RSTL cats you remembered. JOWELZ definitely had a lot of losses bc I beat him when I was first starting in the RSTL. I would add E2 to that list, he was just as good as Cimmerian and actually topical battled more.

[Ghost1]

People still dont know who pinot is?

Lol.

[Lars]

Please.tell me.vulgar saod he was a black guy on the pembroke accnt

Please?

lmao i always thought pembroke was australian

took me years to realise that was Plot

i always got them mixed up

word to Bladed Thesis though, dude was raw with his

[Lars]

Yes, it's true. I get called out on my past every so often but it doesn't really bother me at all. I'm a different person now, a man. Back then I was a boy who enjoyed plagiarizing, messing around and I just wanted to win battles. Pembroke was indeed a black persona lol. I'm good at pulling off aliases, which is why to this day Sir Oswald Swansberg was undetected.

What comes around goes around though, but in a constructive way. Eventually I saw some of my own verses bitten over the internet. I can sympathize with people who need to bite to feel more invincible, but I don't have any remnant left of the teenage me left inside. tbc

lmao i'm sure you know already then at this point, but Frank here is Frank Palanza or i.E or whatever you first met and tutored him under

i was at D12World with you both forever ago as Abn0rmal

the list goes on, Krupp gave me the name Baron Mynd, apparently he had used it once in some tourney

its crazy to think we we've all crossed paths in the distant past and now find ourselves back here at the same juncture

[Wise Wiggles]

In form of pure OM drops (at least of ppl still dropping flames)

Recluse
Black

Bwaha

[trap.]

Barons post made me do some research. Googled "trap rstl" and it brought me back, lol. Retired in early 05 with a 24-8 record. I only count the losses to ThaTalent, RC, and WWIII though lol. Good stuff.

[KwaL!ty]

Midnyte from UF

[namix]

i feel you Vulgar on the getting bittin tip... lama did a lot of good for text in that regard, at least on the sites he archived, dude brought the crime rate down by like 80% single-handedly.



early on in the day i got pissed off when i was directly bit


then one day i found out this dude named delz pretended to be me to get in invite only league --- and all of his rhymes were bitten from me and butler, like his whole verse - except reworded very badly


so i thought that was the worst... until i saw muh entire 'graffiti artist' verse bit.... and that made me the most disappointed... he even left the name dynamix in it lol


then someone bit an entire verse called "my dick is so long, yours is more like hello"... and from that moment on, i never cared again.

wtf can bite a whole topical verse, let alone a strange one like that lol

[Wise Wiggles]

Richard Corey

Vern Acular
Enigma of SMO
Tha Talent

En?gma was such a fucking monster. He never did it off RhymeNReason, but I think Father Flow would be on my list.

And thanks.

Our battle was a classic. I was so much more creative then.

[Certain]

People still dont know who pinot is?

Lol.

Who was he?

[Eŋg]

Pulse. i think.

[Certain]

lmao i'm sure you know already then at this point, but Frank here is Frank Palanza or i.E or whatever you first met and tutored him under

i was at D12World with you both forever ago as Abn0rmal

the list goes on, Krupp gave me the name Baron Mynd, apparently he had used it once in some tourney

its crazy to think we we've all crossed paths in the distant past and now find ourselves back here at the same juncture

Also on D12World were fLux (Revenant), aura (purplehaze) and possibly Atheist and Lares Viales, though I'm not as sure on them.

[trap.]

Our battle was a classic. I was so much more creative then.

Definitely. I keyed that entire verse just an hour after my baby moms said she cheated on me, moved out of my house, and took our son with her. Still one of my best works to date. Yeah, I had a lot to talk about and be creative with back then. Now it's just the daily grind and nothing is of interest. But it's cool to see these new, great writers have so much motivation and creativity now.

[trap.]

Also on D12World were fLux (Revenant), aura (purplehaze) and possibly Atheist and Lares Viales, though I'm not as sure on them.

I was on that site and was in a crew with aura, flux, baron, and some other kids.

TEXTCREW!

[Certain]

You might be thinking of Fiend World.

[trap.]

Oh yeah, lol. I had a run with a few of the smaller sites back then, but always as an alias and it never lasted long bc it takes too much work to start from the bottom with an alias.

[Certain]

I used to enter small sites' leagues as aliases, go 6-0 or so and then get the best writers to go to RhymeNReason or the RSTL.

[Split]

i remember being a little disappointed when you exposed yourself

not the first time ive heard that

[Witty]

not the first time ive heard that

Lmao

[Split]

Fine, it's been long enough. I was Tha Talent. And I beat him in an RM tournament.

http://rapmusic.com/threads/south-11-busterhymen-vs-7-dicenyaeye-vs-2-tha-talent.809028/

And I swear to you that Vern Acular, Mac Flow and I had no fucking clue about Omen. Well, unless they were lying to me. But I had no idea.

I think Frank claimed to be Tha Talent at one point

[Witty]

I think Frank has probably claimed to be everyone at one point.

[Split]

People still dont know who pinot is?

Lol.

Elaborate

[Split]

I think Frank has probably claimed to be everyone at one point.

Its a statistical certainty et this point

[Certain]

That doesn't sound like something he would do unless he was joking. Frank, come confirm. Also, do you ever talk to any of the RhymeNReason guys? I think I just convinced fLux to come here.

[Certain]

I found this list from TaLi. I'm fine with this list.

1. Richard Corey: This guy has been doing this shit at the highest levels for like, fuck, almost a decade now. Probably the all-around best writer, and he has this little thing that I sort of picked up on in my own style where he merges stories and topicals. Of the top 5 verses I've ever read he has at least 2 of them.

2. Rikoshay: Out of the other 3 of my top 5 verses that RC didn't have, Riko has 2 of them. This dude was a rhyming machine and I don't know many other writers who show the type of maturity he does through his words. The undisputable KING of topicals in my opinion. One of a kind.

3. Tha Talent: Wasn't always the best, but once he figured himself out as a writer, he was damn near unstoppable. I've always seen Talent as like, a combination of RC and Rikoshay, but not quiiiite all of either, so he gets third. Damn good writer though.

4. Black Jesus: Number 4 was the toughest one to pick. I went with my old pal BJ. VERY FEW people that I have ever come across in these leagues can pull off "clever" - "wit" - "humor" all that well. BJ was the best at this by far. Even if it was a serious topic, it still had this witty vibe. Can't explain it, just gotta read it.

5. Vern Acular: I kind of get the sense that people tend to think Vern is overrated. I think it's one of those things where everybody built him up so much that there was nothing he could do to meet those expectations. If you read his best stuff with a clear mind, I don't know how you can come to the conclusion that he's not one of the best. Before Vern, most people were writing paragraphs with single rhymes at the ends of lines, and nowhere else. Think about that impact...

6. SacriFICE: I don't really know how to explain SacriFICE's style. A lot of people start writing a verse with their mind focused on how they can possible make their rhyme schemes make sense. SacriFICE doesn't have to think about it; he just is it lol. Sometimes he loses me a bit with where he's going but when he doesn't, it's an awesome sight.

7. Pent uP: Read his sig. I meant what I said and it still stands. Well, actually he's stepped it up so he words shit better and rhymes better and flows better, but he still writes stuff that is reeeeeally hard not to relate to. Good mix of stories and topicals. One of the best around these days.

8. Howard Winter He might be ranked higher if I had seen more of his stuff but all I've ever seen is what is in this league, and when it's good, it's fucking great. Great concepts, really good writing, unforced rhymes, dunno what else anyone could ask for.

9. Three-Planes-Aligned: His record sort of lets him down because I think he lets himself down by not bringing his best every week, but like Winter, his best is among the best there is. He competes and beats the best in every league around that matters. Come to think of it, he reminds me of Winter because above all, it's the creativity of his concepts that strikes me above all. Mechanics aren't half bad either

10. Baron Mynd: I know it's hard for a lot of you to swallow this selection, and I don't blame you, though we get along, Baron has done a looooooot of asshole shit over the years and he's about as conceited as it gets. But fuck it, he has good reason to be proud of what he writes. I love to nitpick his wording sometimes, I think he worries too much about rhyming sometimes, but I can't argue with the fact that his shit is still really good.


Honorable Mention (IN ORDER)

Cormier: Almost there. One of the best storytellers around and he's getting to a point that a lot of storytellers can't, and that is: Ability to tell a good story AND have really strong mechanics and flow. Look around seriously, can you count more than 5 people who are strictly storytellers who have any sort of flow?

Nique: Probably the best flow in writing I've ever read. One of the best rhymers ever; the rhymes are pretty much NEVER forced. My biggest issue with Nique was that her mechanics always seemed to overshadow her content. She had good content for sure, but I still don't feel like I've seen her defining piece, at least yet.

Anaphora: This is kind of an oldschool pick, but he was always one of my favorite people to read. He always had great ideas; the question was always: will he step it up enough in the mechanics department to make it work, and as he evolved, he started getting to that point. I just wish he was still around.

Atheist: This dude was a reeeeeeally good storyteller. He was largely a one-trick pony but he abused that trick relentlessly. My issue with him was always his mechanics of course. He had long lines, and as he evolved, he started getting his rhymes better, but I still found it hard to get the flow. It was always a long read, but generally a very good one.

DIC: Here's another dude everyone hated/hates. I kind of see DIC as a poor-man's Black Jesus. His best pieces are some of the best I know of, but all too often, I think he got too carried away with rhymes to the detriment of his wording and content. All things considered though, he was still pretty good.

[Witty]

Oh shit I forgot about Nique.

She was my first inspiration on these boards.

[Vulgar]

I always liked impolite from Rapflava, too bad he rarely competed in topicals. Beyond @Blacketh Plot

[Diode]

nique and i had good battle times on bboys and pr when she was aliased up and i was one of the few people who had that bull dyke's picture

[Witty]

She once said to me 'If you spent as much time working on perfecting your pieces as you do posting in the lounge you could be one of the best' or words to that effect....that is when I decided I should take the time to perfect each line instead of just keying up any random bullshit. The best advice I have ever been given, and to this day I won't post anything unless I have read over it at least 4 or 5 times.

[StarFaggot]

Wait, we have actual legends here? Certain and Pent Up? Niiiiice

[Witty]

Wait, we have actual legends here? Certain and Pent Up? Niiiiice

Also, black, vulgar, baron mynd, oats, etc etc

There are quite a few names here who could claim that legendary tag, netcees topical scene is very strong.

[Certain]

My list, which probably will be unfair to some of the people of the past seven years, would be something like this:

1. Richard Corey
2. RIKOSHAY
3. TaLi
4. SacriFICE
5. eN?gMa
6. Vern Acular
7. dead man
8. E2
9. Atheist
10. BlackJesus
11. Peril~Eyes
12. FaTHeR FLoW
13. Pulse
14. Warren Worthington III
15. oatmeal
16. Baron Mynd
17. Jowelz
18. Pent uP
19. Fracture
20. Three-Planes-Aligned

[Witty]

Certain where did three-planes-aligned post?

I'm nearly sure I know that name.

[Certain]

He definitely posted at Project RHYME and RapMusic, but he probably posted a few other places as well.

[StarFaggot]

Certain welcome to the class of elite writers, new found respect. Link me to a work you're proud of.

[Diode]

3pa is still on PR actively.

[dull boy]

I like a lot of the people named. Only Vulgar mentioned Impolite, and I have very high opinions of his writing.

[Pent uP]

Certain where did three-planes-aligned post?

I'm nearly sure I know that name.
Hhd and Pr mostly
Wait, we have actual legends here? Certain and Pent Up? Niiiiice

You were being sarcastic werent u

[StarFaggot]

Pent I didn't know you were a legend. You're ok with me now.

[Split]

lol

[Wise Wiggles]

Hhd and Pr mostly


You were being sarcastic werent u

The good folks at upn didn't really favor you, huh...?

[Pent uP]

Pent I didn't know you were a legend. You're ok with me now.

Thats mighty....white of you

[Pent uP]

The good folks at upn didn't really favor you, huh...?

I posted like 2 verses and got hated on...peeped their talent and called it a wash

[StarFaggot]

Has Pent Up vs Black D ever happened?

[Pent uP]

Like 6 times

[Certain]

Richard Corey and I have unfinished business. We went 2-2 against each other in the RSTL, so I went to Project RHYME for a battle to settle things, and that ended up tied, something like 8-8.

http://www.projectrhyme.com/forums/f77/classic-wbl-topical-match-richard-corey-vs-tha-talent-4-11-05-a-143/

I always thought he was better than me, though. One of my two wins against him was complete horseshit. Back then, I would write based on my opponent and expose their flaws through my own verse. So I came up with a really creative angle with a solid twist that appealed to voters (it was about a Teddy bear), and I beat one of the best verses I've ever read from him.

[Angkor]

Pent I didn't know you were a legend. You're ok with me now.

Recognize, dawgie.

we did a discussion like this at PR once and besides the order of my top 10, i do believe it still stands (to me). this was my list.

When i think of ill writers, i usually go with people whose pieces are most memorable and who's archive i constantly visit, heh. with that said, here are my top 10:

in no particular order:

Richard Corey - ghetto cause and effect/ the reason she keeps in her eyes

YMFB - A newer cat, i think, but i fuckin love reading his stuff
The Return - read his 4th dimension piece.
Ender - amongst the best in term of creativity.


Although my top current writers list would be a little different.

[dead man]

I always liked impolite from Rapflava, too bad he rarely competed in topicals. Beyond @Blacketh Plot
yes

he was one of the greats imo. like a rare legendary pokemon he would appear and be gone just as fast.

[Split]

Atheist was good

[Certain]

Recognize, dawgie.

we did a discussion like this at PR once and besides the order of my top 10, i do believe it still stands (to me). this was my list.

Although my top current writers list would be a little different.

I wasn't Howard Winter.

[Angkor]

I wasn't Howard Winter.

?? I had Howard and Talent tied for 3rd. are u Tha Talent??

[Certain]

Yes. I misunderstood.

[Wise Wiggles]

Link the cancer piece by BJ if someone would be so kind..

[dead man]

rough draft:

1. dynasty
2. vulgar
3. FICE
4. metaphive aka dull boy
5. Soulstice
6. NYCSPITZ
7. Pent uP
8. Yitksha aka Phonix aka ketamine face
9. English aka Oxus
10. STRONGARM

[dead man]

fuck

i forgot wise ways

not editing

[StarFaggot]

Strongarm was dooope what about stoic?

[dead man]

also forgot frank. he is top 15 imo

[Ghost1]

I came up on rf with strongarm when he was still writing battle verse inthe staggered case lettering.

I was actually there b4 him....and probably left b4 his prime too....he wasnt really shit when i left.....he got recognition tho.

[dead man]

Strongarm was dooope what about stoic?
heard the name never read anything from him that i can remember.

[uh-oh]

anyone who didnt put me top 5 is wrong

[Eŋg]

top5:

uh oh
jamrock fate
epic
dagel
sign 7

?? I had Howard and Talent tied for 3rd. are u Tha Talent??

put me in your top 20 or we're not friends anymore, north.

[TYSON]

Text pride is strong today

[big baby]

I can sympathize with people who need to bite to feel more invincible, but I don't have any remnant left of the teenage me left inside. tbc

I'm glad you don't have any teenagers inside of you vulgar

[Vulgar]

I as wail.

[StarFaggot]

Engivale is top 25 IMO

[Wise Wiggles]

^ He was always a tad dry for my taste. Pretty smooth reads for the most part tho.

[oats]

I'm by no means an accurate reflection of "all time" - I only poked around a handful of boards during my sporadic tenure - but these names stand out (in no order):

black
sacrifice
3pa
pent
soulstice
lars
RC
Cry
vulgar
oxus
Dex
dullboy
certain

thats 13 and I'm sure I'm forgetting lots. But reading from those names has rarely been disappointing, all very talented.

[Lars]

That doesn't sound like something he would do unless he was joking. Frank, come confirm. Also, do you ever talk to any of the RhymeNReason guys? I think I just convinced fLux to come here.

Flux is at RM as as MrFlux001 or something, he had stopped writing when his grandfather died, but dude did post a piece in their OM forum in the last few months and responded to a couple of mine

the other guys are pretty much gone

[Lars]

En?gma was such a fucking monster. He never did it off RhymeNReason, but I think Father Flow would be on my list.

And thanks.

Enigma was from Blunts I thought? Rajhan Sakima etc

he was in the RSTL as Converse or something? Potbellied conan at RnR

[Exis]

Beyond?? And where the fuck is that nigga btw...ain't seen him in a minute.

[Sicc]

I'm glad you don't have any teenagers inside of you vulgar

That's comedy, right there, hahahaha.

[Plot]

Talking RF I think Halfwitit should be also mentioned, also went by Crud.

You can find all of Strongarms work by typing Strongarm-Morgue into Google.

Wish I had the insight to do that, now all my past works are sadly gone.

[Exis]

Word...Half be dope with it.

[NYCSPITZ]

imma say bladed thesis is top 25

[Vulgar]

Half Wit It was sick. I don't think we saw him in prime form yet.

[Certain]

Enigma was from Blunts I thought? Rajhan Sakima etc

he was in the RSTL as Converse or something? Potbellied conan at RnR

Yeah, all the original SMO guys were from Mr. Blunt until Hypnotik and I brought them to RnR. eN?GMa was Epic at RnR.

Flux said he might come here, but I consider him a D12World guy, not RnR.

Get him

[Mike Wrecka]

you guys talking about the Atheist from RM that was in AOWL Season 1?

[Certain]

Yes.

He no-shows and half-asses all the time now, though.

[Mike Wrecka]

true

what you dudes think of Cereal Killa?

he won the RSTL like three or four seasons in a row. the last four that were held i believe.

he prob aint top twenty but four seasons in a row, with or without the legends is impressive.

Ive always considered the RSTL the best league

[dull boy]

I'd think very poorly of anyone who didn't half ass it rather frequently.

[Certain]

Ive always considered the RSTL the best league

Yet ... you'd never heard of me.

I haven't seen much by Cereal Killa in eight years, but he used to come to me all the time for advice. So I will take credit for his accomplishments.

[Certain]

I'd think very poorly of anyone who didn't half ass it rather frequently.

Your hostility toward me is unwarranted.

[dull boy]

I don't know of this hostility with which you speak.

[Split]

is Atheist== Kuja? I forget

[Certain]

Yes.

[Wise Wiggles]

I like Kuja

Very good imagery imo

I've fucked with him for years

[Certain]

Lars, how is that possible? Do you remember our battle?

[Lars]

lmao yeah man, I was a youngster, first run ever in the RSTL and I met you in the contenders match

rotten luck!

Maybe we'll get Round 2 next week.
