jimmy4x: Good morning fellow Chelsea fan out here, just git to know about this thread, I want us to discuss about our latest nd impending signings....
left to me, I don't think we need pogba, our midfield is just to filled up already, dey shud gv our academy players a chance to shine, who knows, we myt discover another pogba

I don't see how our Central Midfield is "filled up". Matic is the only Decent player there. Mikel is slow and not creative enough, Van Ginkel is inexperienced, Ramires is a dud. I think Pogba is overpriced, but he fits in. Young, Slightly experienced, and creative. He can add to the team immediately and can still become better. If we can get him for £40-45, I will say let's get him!

This is funny

1. Coogar is Sauron. He can like to deny it till the second coming of Christ, but he cannot fool I.
2. The Verse Coogar posted is not wack. maybe a few over-played words and all, but i think it deserves a response.
(No Idea is Original - Nas)... If an Idea/word is played in a new interesting way, it works for me.
3. Every comment slating Coogar's verse reeks of hate and dick-riding.
4. The excuses Ibime gave for not replying are flimsy at best.
5. Facebook niggas are taking this opportunity to yan dust at Ibime. rubbish behaviour.
6. Yes, i am big Ibime fan.

jreyez:

You're nothing but a brown as.s loser..... Fake people like you shouldn't be allowed to cast votes.



Seriously is this how you guys cast votes??

u dont just come and rain insults here. If you have a poblem with my vote, ask me to clarify/explain it, i will. Thanks.

I've always said that i am not a fan of voting with criteria and stuff, i vote according to how much i enjoy the verse and what tickles my fancy, but if you want that, ask. . . . And it shall be given unto you. Plus there is a reason why i am not the only Judge here. . . . Its just one vote out of like 10 judges, i dunno how you guys take the shiii serious like your lives depend on it.

Ibime wins this to me.

mikuz: Ibime's Verse



I been wearing the crown for a min/ Even D’Banj knows I’ll leave this bout with the win/
so if he 'Suddenly' claim 'Igwe'. . . I'll make him a 'Scapegoat'. . . to show he ain’t 'Endowed' to be King!!/


He’ll cry for repentance/ cos I’m ambidextrous when incited to vengeance/
Both my left and right hand deliver twin punches. . . till he recognise. . . the 'striking' resemblance!!/


I ball from Italy to Woolwich. . .

The pen’s more mighty than the gun?. . . I’ll ensure my similes are bullish/
but I prefer violence. . . so after 'confusing' him with words. . .
I’ll still 'riddle' him with bullets!!!/


The last FB nigga standing. . . .

. . . but they have no faith in the old man/ He a disgrace to his whole clan/
Ask Facebookers if he’ll win. . . .they replied. . . . pfft, he's only gonna 'shame us'. . . like Coleman!/


Ibi spitting germs/ so this frigging worm/ won’t get a single verd/
And if he accuse Judges of voting 'Homers'. . . . we’ll use kerosene and tyres. . . to make sure the 'Mr Burns'!!/

It’s really a pity/ how this ignorant kiddie/ cry when I’m whipping him silly/
And If this battle goes nuclear. . . I’ll 'bomb A'. . . like aerial attacks. . . on 'Indian Cities'!/

Like Bonez, this ignorant gent/ might make a silly attempt/ to claim "the Judges' decision is bent"/
"Let's take the battle to the Indians". . . till his Indian friends.
. . advise him. . . to quit smoking Indian Hemp!/


All his family members are dumb/ That’s why he mad with his sister. . .and upset with his mum/
cos they sucked me together. . . .to truly see if. . . two heads are better than one!!/


All ya bars are played/ Young boys desecrate the bed where your father stays/
School leavers getting head/ without 'spreading bread'/ . .. . as soon as they pass 'JAMB'. . . they have your 'mama laid'!!/

(jam, marmalade) - Classic!


Niggas who read my verse stay grinning/ cos my wordplay winning/
I’m the King here. . . he can have the Duke title. . . .or better yet, 'Baron’. . . cos his sperm ain't swimming!!!/

More Evuls.

Animetum: Yall gon see creeps flying moment i bring magic/
He gon bleed badly, wen i liv an 'arrow in his head' like he thinking of the green bandit/

But if dat dnt work, my thugs live clips banging/
So if he wanna gamble with his worth, i will have niggas 'keep his value on the floor' Like Street gambling!/

Ha! This rivers man, could claim he Swimming in banks/
Lie he banging white hoes with creamy big laps. Then i checked, he lives in PH still bleaching his @ss/

London ko compton ni, we aint Tripping In fact/
Stop bringing this lies, cos attending Olumba's vigil is the closest he came . . to Ssleeping with whites!/

Wait! Abeg Let me quickly yab this cheating cat/
He survived against Bone's Mean hitting bars. We challenged him to FB n we saw Bis sitting back/

He came Insisting that, that FB be misleading rap/
But i could still challenge him to FB, only that he will scream foulplay, next the cock . . Will Chicken out!/

But u, u cant take charge if you had Volts passing thru/
So dnt go ranting fool; u was neva gangster. u a bell boy . . In a Known Catholic School!/

Evuls

Weak Battle IMO. . . . Prekky wins this. Ema Prince looks exhausted already.

I really think Chelsea didn't play badly, smething is just not clicking. We control the game perfectly till around 70mins when Oscar was introduced. The Defense needs work tbh though.

Willain played in the hole right? I totally enjoyed watching him today, Chelsea best player by far in this match.

Btw, someone or something need to give Ivanovic a much needed rest.

I'll gladly take the 3points, it can only get better.

Shey dem be say na 20 words per line or so? Why all these arguments? This thing don dey turn pikin play.

Ema Prince wins this to me. . . More relatable puns, More Aggressive! "He is a Moderator. . . . But this Monkey post is not Lucrative like Street Football" - I Love this line!

Animetum clearly wins this one. I'll be back with the break down tomorrow, sleep dey catch me.

Been reading this battle over and over and over, tbh, I don't think there's a clear winner. Normally, I'll call it a tie. . . . But if there must be a winner, I'll tilt towards Thunder, just for one reason, I feel his lines were a bit more organized. Maybe its just me but the way Kim wrote her verse, I can't count the lines/bars.

Thrilling Battle!

MVGT - Ema Prince. . . .

Ema Prince had every criteria. The way he sets up his bars is very impressive, and it gives more weight to the final punch. That 'Change of Hart' line is fresh! Impressive verse.

Luna's rhymes wasnt consistent aside the Closer, he had some fresh ideas though, but his build ups or choice of words failed him mostly, his verse wasnt weak at all, justa lil' poorly constructed. That 'EP L line' is nice.

Luna's Build-Ups are very poor. . . . He needs to improve on that part of his craft. My verd in a minute.

Good battle by the way

mailmalc: @Mikuz
Hey bro, can I make a suggestion. Imo 3-5 judges are more than enough in a tournament. Such a shameful display seeing Judges doubt their fellow Judges capability and they argue out their verdict in the open.

Oga Donald. . . If na DBR and I you dey refer to as 'judges doubting their fellow judges capability', I'd like to clarify things. We aren't doubting each other's capability, we only have different opinion on an issue and we are trying to sort it out. Bless Boss

DBR:

There u have it. Once u enter the realm of Pronunciation dude, u already dealing with SOUNDS!!!!

I get u whiz, but ur example is an extreme ref. of slants.
On the real Axe aint even far from Acts even pronounced without a slant,. .c'mon!!


oNe

LOL at Extreme reference. . . Its the same. Acts =aekts, Axe = aeks [Spot the difference] . . . . As far as i'm cooncerned, that wordplay is forced in a text battle, in an audio battle, it goes! Make we no argue again boss.

We all knew this was a mismatch from scratch. . . . Mikuz through to the Quarters.

mikuz:

What I mean is, if someone pulls a no-show or chickens out in the quarter final. The best loser in the first round will fill in.

this na PDP oo. If someone pulls a no-show in the first round, best loser in the first round replaces him/her. If someone pulls a no-show in the quarters, the best loser in the quarters replaces him/her, thats the way it should be. Bless Bro.

DBR:


U call a cerebral discussion on elements like cognition/rhymes/text /audio/ et al as rant, sir?
I'm. . errm.. .worried.
We do this!

oNe

! ! ! !

DBR:

LMAO!! I've had this argument too many time.
Ps riddle me this, When u read TEXT,do you not hear "sounds" in your head?
In fact, whether you are reading the words or hearing them,
the process of identifying whether a word rhymes with another is through sound cognition.
Mostly the final judgement is not by textual analysis in nature but by its auditory experience.
Great writers


Na u wan skool me? bwahahah!! Joker!
Get educated with ma response to Whiz .
Btw, I didn't say Ibime did better in rhyme. . it's a Close fight. .
check ma score, it's like they both got Tuxedo, cos i gave them Both TIE!



oNe

when i'm reading, i pronounce the words in my head, i dont hear sounds, maybe we are different.
To be very honest, i dont f.uck with these criteria ratings, sometimes, a good vocabulary is enough to win a battle, it why its called TEXTceeing. Text skills count. . . I don't really like when people rhyme things like 'Verse' with 'Vex' in a text battle, because it doesnt rhye when i pronounce it in my head, but it might work in an audio battle due to accent or whatever, i hope you see the difference?

Lemme make an Example. . . .
Eminem raps in Bad Guy:
"Wait, is that sirens i hear?/ guess 90 on the freeway wasnt the brightest idea/ Cops appear in my DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR"

you cant write the above in a text battle and expect to score points on Rhyme, i cant hear it in my head. . . . But when Em said it, you go WOW, cos of his accent and the way he pronounces his words. Get it?

U be still boss though.

DBR: Note to the person complainin bout Ibime's AXE/ACTs line; act /AKT/ axe /AKS/. .but if it's actS. .
u can easily slant it to rhyme with axe in pronunciation.

Boss DBR, hailings. Personally, I don't understand why we'll be talking about slanting words/wordsplay in a text battle. if its an audio battle, it goes, for a text battle, I don't quite agree. But its all good though

mikuz: From now on, battlers should post their verses themselves please.

hell no! Its the KING's tourney. No one should be allowed to see his opponent's bars before dropping his. Its the same reason why i have suggested that someone else handle your battle with ChoccKid.

1. Too many irrelevant posts and arguments. . . . Shouldn't be this way. Mikuz, do something please!

2. Mikuz shouldn't be allowed to host his own battle, it is just not right! Someone should offer to create the thread and post the verses.

Opener - U3
Closer - U3
Wordplay - U3
Rhymes - Tie
Similes/Metaphors - Ibime
Punchlines - Ibime
Personals - Ibime
Flow - Ibime
Ibime Wins this for me.

Is it me or U3's verse looks longer than Ibis, I guess it owes to the whole 'Facebook Format' stuff.
U3 is really nice with them Wordplays, kinda reminds me of DBR, but. . . He doesn't combine the wordplays to make punches that really hit, I totally enjoyed that Chess wordplays.

mikuz:
Mik outshone u so how's ur SCRIPTING "THE LIGHT"? u over 30 dude, so I aint SEEING THE HYPE/ 
Yall KIDDING ME RIGHT? 
15 year olds on facebook SPITTING DEEP LINES and yall FEELING THE RHYMES of an obese deadbeat dad who sleeps on SIMILE SITES?

This Personals too over go well, the 'Simile Sites' almost spoiled it sha, forced words, just to rhyme, but e enter wella!!!!!

mikuz:
That's y THIS BEATING's GOD-SENT, breaks my heart that THIS WEAKLING FORMs "VET", cuz there's blogs with every line WE'VE SEEN IN YOUR TEXT/ 
Recycling's the "SKILL" HE's REFORMED BEST..

NO PROOF! You only dropped a link to his battles, and no link to a battle that he recycled the Bars from

mikuz:
u a pinch of salt, ul get DRAINED IN THIS FLOOD BITCH, nl dudes like "he CRAZY, HE's gOD" GEEZ,.... all these dudes on ur dick, I doubt that BABY IS YOUR KID/

This shiii GOES!!!!!

mikuz: He hide behind his crew . . . that’s a faggót nigga hustle!/ KINGS don’t need strength in NUMBERS to pad em up with muscle/
oya. . . JUDGES. . . score me points. . . as I attack him with the gospel/
cos his punches leave no MARK. . . but there’ll be LAMENTATIONS. . . when I split his skull. . . with THE AXE OF THE APOSTLES!!!!/

I like the build up and th ending punch... But acts = axe? ? ?

mikuz: Like Yoan. . .the 'goof ran'. . . when I brang him the ether!/ I won’t spare his family either/
. .cos I’ll bring terror to his home. . . to make his 'pa piss' and 'ma poo'. . . like 'Cisse' and 'Yanga-Mbiwa'!!!/

NICE! ! ! ! !

mikuz: Claim he living in a foreign pad?/ boasting of the porsche and jag/ that he bought his dad?/
So I called HIS DAD. . . he said "that’s quite funny". . . but the poor man. . . couldn’t afford to laugh!!!/

=))

mikuz: Numero Uno Femcees crushed your stúpid gimmicks/ with brutish lyrics/
So when you say "No girls allowed". . . I had to check twice. . . cos X-Lites’ . . . . got nothing but pússies in it!!/

X-Lites gotta be mad at this. Lol. K.O.

Truth be told, I think this battle is a bit weaker than what I expected.

mikuz: Judges abeg make una report o . . .

present sir!

mikuz: 24 lines it is then. Ibime which one is Pdp?Those draws are clean, I do not know what you're talking about.

Erm. . . In most part, the draws look like 'The Strong' vs 'The Weak', but its all good because it kinda ensures that the battles will get stiffer as the Tourney wears on. By the way, special shout out to the 16 Textcees that made this Tourney, Y'all are gods!

Abagworo:

Then you are not a hip-hop head. You are liberal like me. Core hip-hop heads dismiss commercial rap in its entirety.

And why is most songs on MMLP2 with features? The album will sell cause it has several poppy songs but it is obviously a weak album with some memorable songs with "Headlights" standing out. I seem to feel a bit relaxed at the moment with Kendrick and A$AP Rocky's last year album GKMC and LLA.

u say most? Well, its not most songs, and i dont really see anything wrong in having features on an Album. The album's total length should be about 90mins(Deluxe tracks included), and Eminem is Rapping in more that 80% of that time, thats enough Eminem in an Album if you ask me.

Then again people have started calling MMLP2 weak again, simply because they compare it to MMLP. I think its weaker than MMLP but its not weak at all, it a 4mics album at least. A couple of songs on there can stand with the best of Eminem. 'Bad Guy' is Genius, a sequel to Stan, without losing it thrills, not many can pull that off. Rhyme or Reason, Brainless, Baby, Headlights, Evil Twin, all these songs can stand toe to toes with the best of Eminem's works, so i dont see how it is 'Weak'. Granted there are a couple of Poppy songs meant for the radio, but that has always been Eminem, he likes being in the Media.

Monster, Stronger than i was, Bezserk and Survival, are the only poppy songs on MMLP2. having a female take a hook doesnt exactly makes the song a pop song. There is nothing Pop about Legacy or Bad Guy or AssHole or Beautiful Pain.

I think, MMLP2 is the best project Eminem has dropped since the Eminem Show. Just play 'Rap God' again.

I have no respect for anybody who say Relapse is trash though, goes to show one thing. . . . . They follow the crowd and can't make their own opinion. I know next thing they will be like 'Even Eminem trashed Relapse', yeah, same way he trashed Recovery. He is just feeding you guys what you need to hear. I for one think Relapse is a Sick sick album. It has a twisted, Psycho theme and not many people want to listen to that, especially close minded conscious hiphopheads. But if you really open your mind, U may get to really appreciate it.

@op Nice, Nice List, everyone there deserves to be there. They may or may not be the greatest but it takes a lot of hardwork to get to a point where you can sell 1m copies, 5 times. I am not a big Drake fan, but i think he'll get to 5 platinum album soon, he seems to have understood the market, Nothing Was the Same is Platinum already.

And yes, Immortal Technique has to be one of the greatest conscious MC ever, he's good at educating and revealing some deep shii in his music, and i am a big fan. But it is also true that he cannot consistently creates good Rap Music, there is a Big big difference between making d.ope rap records and making good rap Music. People like Jay Z, Eminem, Kanye etc mastered the art of doing both that is why they are as successful as they are. So i dont really subscribe to the school of thought that the Best rap MUSIC are not on radio or not popular, because they are mostly are. The ones who just try to sell their MCing skills only are the ones who get relegated to the underground.

But in the end, it all depends on what you enjoy listening too. Because one is a fan of mainstream music doesnt necessarily make him dumber than one that listen to underground joints, its just what he enjoys. I listen to mainstream Rappers, I also listen to underground rappers. My playlist ranges fro, Eminems to Jays and Yes, to J. Cole and Kendrick and Slaughterhouse and Ab Soul, to Hopsin, KR, Skyzoo, Pharoah Monche, to Immortal tech to the Roots to Kweli, Chubby Jagz, Nipsey Hustle, to Rick Ross and Wale and Meek. It just depends on my mood. It doesnt make me more or less smarter than anyone who listen to underground or mainstream music, it is just what they enjoy.

oNe!
