Round 1 bracket, predictions and chat.

Certain · 08-22-2014, 12:28 AM

Welcome to Round 1!

Topics for this round are Kanye West song titles. Keep in mind that the song itself is not your topic, only the title. The title can therefore be interpretted however you'd like, regardless of correlation to the song.

Keep in mind that you must check into your battle thread by Monday. The magazine will be up tomorrow.

Now make your predictions (with topics listed next to matchups):

13. jilti vs. 4. NYCSPITZ | Last Call
3. Split vs. 14. MMLP | Drive Slow
6. Atheist vs. 11. timeless | Blame Game
10. Zen vs. 7. Genocide | Paranoid
15. Blanco Bishop vs. 2. Darth Yoda | See You in My Nightmares

kannon · 08-22-2014, 12:52 AM

you mixed up your #12s. either on the picture or on the matchups list...

Certain · 08-22-2014, 01:03 AM

Thanks. It's fixed.

@Eŋg, your velar nasal annotation was not available in the font I used for the bracket.

oats · 08-22-2014, 05:50 AM

Camarac · 08-22-2014, 05:53 AM

No idea.

Camarac · 08-22-2014, 07:17 AM

werent you at rapsearch?

oats · 08-22-2014, 07:18 AM

briefly, many moons ago. have we crossed paths before? I wasn't asking in a tone of disrespect, I was just curious cuz the name is unfamiliar lol

Camarac · 08-22-2014, 07:19 AM

its Lars

this was my name wayyyyyyyyy back as a newb

oats · 08-22-2014, 07:25 AM

lol gotcha. I don't recall it - I only remember nazty, akshun, vlad the impaler, and a handful of other names off the top. I was on rap search for a few months when planetrap crashed. I figured it was you since Caramacs are british (they're also caramel macadamia nut treats in Hawaii that are delicious FYI).

Camarac · 08-22-2014, 07:45 AM

Seyance is from there originally. MC4Eyez and Galaxian, Denze, Cartoon, Sensai etc

oats · 08-22-2014, 08:31 AM

all of those names are familiar now that I see them. I'm pretty sure I battled MC4Eyez, Denze and Sensai. I also remember Ill Syndrome now that I think about it. what would you say is your home site?

Drunken Master · 08-22-2014, 09:04 AM

Good luck @El Pancake

Diode · 08-22-2014, 09:16 AM

i sometimes wonder why i am forever getting matched up against a top 2 seed if i make it to the second round.

oats · 08-22-2014, 09:36 AM

3. Camarac vs. 14. Greed | We Don't Care
6. Soulstice vs. 11. Objective | My Way Home
10. King Ra. vs. 7. Diode | All Falls Down

lower bracket seems more stacked tbh. it'll be interesting to see how some people's styles will translate into shortened verses.

a small part of me will always consider RB home, tbh.

I feel you. I do too, it was the first place I frequented when I rediscovered text forums. I enjoyed my time there. I just vibe with NC's personality better now, and they're pretty devoid of topical talent at this point. Couple of decent dudes, nobody top tier.

PancakeBrah · 08-22-2014, 04:09 PM

Bottom bracket is the group of death. Although the top bracket 1-3 is maybe tougher than the bottom.

@oats I suggested to Certain that you should've been #1. You are a superstar.

@Drunken Master same to you.
