Rap Tournament: Greatest Rapper On Nairaland

RAP - Rythm And Poetry.

I will give points for:
1. Originality
2. Rythm (syllables and morphemes)
e.g. It's the en|-oh| - tee| - oh |- ar |- ah - |oh
                    You |- S |  You |just  |lay  |down |slow

3. Flow and Relativity i.e. if lines go off target, they must converge at a point and bring out the intention(s) of the rapper
4. Ability to convince
5. Clarity of points
6. Intro and conclusion
7. Creativity and Rhyme scheme (dumb, numb, score, bore, mean, seen, e.t.c usually aa bb that is line one rhymes with line two, line three with line four, and so on but you can invent your style so long as you stick with it.)
8. Free styling (where your rhymes don't seem to go in, you find an alternative phrase that quite agrees with it and find a way around it, or bend it)
9. Suspense


I will not give points for:
1. Excessive comparison
2. Excessive use of names of places
3. Excessive use of names of celebrities
4. Lengthy lines that refuse to correspond after at most 8 lines
5. Excessive encoding of points
6. Chorus


The winner may, not surprisingly though, not agree with this format, and I hope you guys do your best. You are who you think you are, and you are the best whether you win or not.

well i agree with chris
you guys must not call no other names except that of your opponent
no mummy or daddy too
no copy n paste rhymes be original, remember Nairaland has lot of people who know a lot about rap so the moment anyone copy n paste you'll be disqualified.

Muks,
Consider Toosyno in. More? The deadline is fast approaching.

@ christino,


no disrespect but a free style battle is won by, this aint a poetry competition, gotta keep it real because I battle on other forums (strictly freestyle battles )

  wittiness
   word play
     punchlines
       concept
 

Its da boy big shish and I'm still on da set
I'm in ATL now, but soon going to have ta jet off da deck
took a little time out ta letchu know how i be doin my thang
when I say Clara, y'all know she's da one
if u don't believe me , gat her name tatooed on ma gut
Lil clara, she kool because i'm comin home soon
Roxanne, my little shawty thats my pimped out coupe
I don't mean ta front but da girl gat six flip down screens
plus I gat two fifteens in da trunk , i don't front
plus neon glo wire lights on da dash that read out Clara
Yeah she gone, but i'm still in love wit her and i'm in love wit ma self
if y'all don't believe, i could post anotha pic
plus I say sippn on all them guiness stouts
da name is Shishi but my peoples call me Crayola
this aint copy and pasted, this my life I stated
seen a lotta folks, talkn a lotta joke
bout they better than Shish, but how he better than Shish
how she betterr than Shish, because Shish is da best
and Crayola da rest

@ judges

 Like they do on battle forums, i think ya'all have to specify how many lines folks spit, so folks have the same number of lines e.g. 16 lines each and when picking a winner, u DEFINITELY have to state why you picked the folks as winner.

MY QUESTIONS


1. There will be 3 judges, so i'm assuming in a battle between Crayola and Shishi , 2 out of the 3 judges pick Crayola, Crayola wins??
2. Will there be a uniform criteria adopted by judges in picking a winner i.e. If mukina thinks Crayola won because of a
punchline, will it be logical to think christino has also picked a winner for same reason
, I think these points need to be clarified!
