Okay, first one with 10 votes wins.
I'll go against loser, then winner of that goes against whoever wins this.
Unless anyone else decides to participate.

My vote went for the Spooj, Snickers however was good as well.

With that round-robbin style couldnt we all three go 1-1 and have a 3-way tie?

I hate rap with a passion that threatens to consume my soul in a ball of hellfire. I only came into this thread out of sheer boredom. But after reading the raps, I feel like I have a disclaimer to make... in my opinion, rap is an "artform" that should be cut out of the brains of every person at birth through miracle surgery, it is the very fact that rap exists that has allowed the cynic in me to thrive.

That being said:

While Snickers is far more creative from what I've seen here, rap is not the place for you and I think you should be glad that it isn't. Oojay wins, imo.

*but why isn't this settled already? Snickers has more votes?*

PS. Snickers, do something worthwhile with the talent you have. You are too intelligent for this. (I'm not saying other people aren't just as intelligent, but this one's for Snickers.)

It seems like you hate rap more than any other I have ever spoken to.

Thank you, even though I enjoy rap, I also respect your opinion.

I somewhat agree, Snickers is an excellent songwriter but rap is not his fort`e. It just takes a completely different style of thought to compose a rap, especially a battle rap, than it does to compose a song or a poem. And also note that it is much easier to write a response to someone else's rap than it is to write the first one.

I don't agree, but I also do not label myself a rapper, so, to each is own, that very well may be true.

When is Ethan going to end this thing?
Ever?

I like Snicker's much more, because Oojay's has a fair amount of lame, formulaic filler (in terms of his overall ideas rather than wording). Personally, I think battle raps are better when they are loaded with true personal insults specific to the person you're battling, not random crap about, for example, having sex with their girlfriend/mother*. Unless you've actually had sex with the person's girlfriend or mother how is that taunting them? How can you taunt somebody with your own personal fantasies? I'd say that when a rapper brings this subject up it shows that they want to have sex with the other person's girlfriend/mother and the fact that they haven't makes them a failure.

Oojay's rap isn't pure cliche by any means, but there's many more recycled ideas in there than in Snicker's and cliche turns me off big time.


*This is one of the typical way over-used structures in battle raps and it pretty much demonstrates how the rapper is a sheep in wolves clothing.

^So I take it you want to enter the contest?

DontRunMeOver 01-07-2007 01:47 PM

Go on then. Who would I battle?

sleepy jack 01-07-2007 01:49 PM

Me:)

DontRunMeOver 01-07-2007 01:51 PM

Bring it. Lets go big guy.

DontRunMeOver 01-07-2007 01:53 PM

Are you going to try to rhyme this time? Or is it going to be one of those free-form unstructured raps with poetry quotations again????

sleepy jack 01-07-2007 01:53 PM

kk, you wanna start or should I?

DontRunMeOver 01-07-2007 01:55 PM

I think I'd better start because I'm moving house tomorrow so I won't really be able to post a response.

sleepy jack 01-07-2007 01:55 PM

I'm really tempted to write a 'wham rap' or Vanilla Ice styled one. You know, like.

"This is DRMO, busting the flow, hands in the air and c'mon lets go. I'm slimmer than shady and I play a ukelele and I... um... know that change is constant just like Benjamin Disraeli"

sleepy jack 01-07-2007 06:38 PM

Jake wins, congrats man.
