Battle closed. Liricyst wins and qualifies for the finals.

CONGRATS!

liricyst:
the judges have seen the brawl, they don't want to vote. You and Ibime gave Obesemf your votes...i will go ahead and trust your judgement. Close the thread so I can start scripting for the third place brawl

Not yet, bro. Your case is quite different from Rebel's. The thread is still open.

Coogar, Lagunna1 and Guykhena, please go vote on this brawl so we can move on:

Geoxpress:
They are both good. Maybe the rakim guy is better, maybe Em is better, dunno.

How do they do the bold and italic?

Highlight the words you want to italicise/embolden then use the tool-bar above the box you're typing in.

Geoxpress, compare what you just posted with mine in terms of rhymes.

I think Obesemf is a Rakim fan too. He uses similar pattern.

Lyrics for UPLIFT



[1st verse]
Levantore!
Yeah, it's just ghetto, kid test the devil to hit the next level
Wish they was a rebel with cerebral metal
Inflex the bezzle with the peddle to the metal
In a thug's paradise where love have a price
So we love for life like thugs love the night
They sell drugs for ice for the Benz with bug lights
Some hug mics to the world, hung like parasites
The likes lethal, the mics lead you
A sneak preview, watch what we do and what the hood teach you
I still see through the eye of a needle
So I can watch people cause slug backwards is evil

[2nd verse]
Levantore!
Yo, what's this? Yo bust this. Yo it's time to up lift
They think all we do is bust clips and puff splifs
And plush whips and clutch chips and touch chicks
Flont rocks like Fort Knox and hog blocks
Taunt cops with more props and we want not
Panhandling with your mans and them
Scrambling, gambling, plans to win
While the cops clock em, thieves flock em
Women watch em, traders wanna top em
Ay yo what's the problem
Before the narcs knock em opposite playas plot to rob em
The ghetto got em, my man said it's rough at the bottom

[3rd verse]
Levantore!
Ghetto alert, let's do whatever work to get rid of the curse
We went from 1st to America's worst
On this competitive turf, now let's inherit the earth
There's more prize for one another, and call shots
12:00 til the next ball drop
All year around plus they shuffle non stop
You think it's rough at the bottom, it's even rougher on top
My peeps gonna have to reach and turn for me
And everybody's side of the street'll be celly
Ain't nothing funny, burn plenty and burn money
And earn money and watch the century turn 20

[4th verse]
Levantore!
We all should, from the woods to the big city and the small hood
Everybody should be welcome to the ball if we all could,
But we fall cause we brawl, yo it ain't all good
We need to play right, stay tight with ya air alight
Keep your game tight, no need to play trife
Get cheese from the daylight to the late night
And it's shouldn't take death to appreciate life
Before a lot parish, we got to cherish if Allah let us
Let's give prop and merits till the block flourish
In this metropolis, stay on top of this
You know what the prophet is, be prosperous

[5th verse]
Levantore!
Now we networking
Respect the next person, it'll be less hurting
Or left lurkin, while we kept our dreads working
Connect set for certain, total networking
Last chance to advance and stash grands
If you have plans to have fam and mad land
Own shine, condone crime or hold 9s
I know what the problem is, killing our own kind
To my flame throwers, train sober, remain soldiers
Stay sane so these pretty dames can hold us
Terror terrain rollers and Range Rovers so the train goers
Claim your fame, maintain, till your game's over

[6th verse]
Levantore!
Ghetto alert, let's do whatever work to get rid of the curse
We went from 1st to America's worst
On this competitive turf, now let's inherit the earth
There's more prize for one another, and call shots
12:00 til the next ball drop
All year around plus they shuffle non stop
You think it's rough at the bottom, it's even rougher on top
My peeps gonna have to reach and turn for me
And everybody's side of the street'll be celly
Ain't nothing funny, burn plenty and burn money
And earn money and watch the century turn 20
Levantore!

ELYMAXiimus:
lol @ careful as rakim.

We all have different tastes. For me, when it comes to multi-syllabic rhyming, em is second to none.
The way he stringes his rhymes together is always scintilating nd tantalizing to the hear.
Em is the only one that could use 2, 3 rhyme scheme simultaneously in a verse nd still keep the rhythm nd flow. I don't know how, but he does this in such a lovely way .

He did this in the third verse of "the monster".

Most times, Em deceives his listeners with his accent. Some of lyrics don't rhyme but he knows the right tone of voice to use in order to rhyme anything with anything. The same thing with Canibus. In one of his tracks he said "technically these words wouldn't rhyme on paper." Rakim doesn't, or hardly does, that. Try listening to his tracks, never mind his wack beats though.

007Bruce:
Rakim kini? has Rakim done 10 syllabic rhyme in his life? Rakim kini? has Rakim done 10 syllabic rhyme in his life?

Even if you want to use long syllables as a yardstick for rhyming, Em is still not the best. Common, Talib Kweli and Kool-G-Rap (king flow) do that better. But for perfect rhyming, Rakim is the god. Go listen to uplift; he was basically playing with rhymes.

ELYMAXiimus:
hahaha. because i siad shady did it u're quick to say it's correct. If i said it was me who did it, i'm sure you would rebuke me.

He rhymed "cleaver" with "jesus"

isn't it d same as me rhyming "water" with "cautious"?
..

@ jreyez.... Eminem is the king of sick multisyllabic rhyming. He can't be wrong. English is his native language.

Multi-syllabic? Em is good but not as perfect and as careful as Rakim in rhyming.

I don't even know whayt to say to you.

Stop spreading clueless information with your blog, it's unhealthy.

mormoni:
This is what i'm facing in my ongoing relationship. My girlfriend talks a lot on the phone, she says a lot of things on phone; romantic stuff and all sort of things. When it comes to chatting, she is very free with me expressing her love for me. But once i'm with her, the whole thing changes..for her to look in to my eyes is a very big problem not to talk of her talking freely with me. She is always shy but only when we are together. Fellow nairalanders, how do I correct this? How do I make her feel free with me

I thought you were fasting?

Darkenedrebel's Verse

Last year he wrestled Mik, & the wizened fraud fumbled/ Jason shuffled his muzzle, & left him in a rickshaw bundled/ fed him suffocating 'heat'...with flicks so subtle/ so if Ely yelps bout' his Pseudo-coo ...then this will be a replay of how he crumbled....against that 'Jigsaw' Puzzle! /

✘When he joined the tourney..we thought he aiming for the top/ or would extirpate anyone..who tries to take him off the spot/ against supermiy & Tester...we were anticipative of his drop/ but like that Airforce1's track ...despite the high expectations.... he still came out as a flop! /

✘He may narrate how he beat me..but that's a fool's description/ cos he killed Aro not the Rebel...so I lead a brutish legion/ to shoot this minion/ till you find his corpse on plate tectonics ... getting rap£d by ewoks....call that a spoon position! /

✘We saw his campaign against Mik...& how this imp was hating/ he had strategize the usurping.....vitriolic like a snitch menstruating/ but the rap community...didn't think he was fit...to lead this nation/ cos if Ely was voted..he would have been another Ishilove..... a b1tch moderating! /

✘Ely's a limp marsupial ....I make this wimp press pause/ you better bring red-cross/ cos 'If he don't hear' my orders....I'll wield a different force/ then shove bullets in his pinna ....just so the sap-skulled zebu..can be within earshot! /

✘You can mangle him with kirpans...while I'm wringing the dumb punk/ he could run to Japan....or even to Hong Kong/ but my 'beer-loving knuckles'...will cripple his numb trunk/ & It's like I dipped my fists in alcohol ....cos every jab imma throw....is leaving him punch-drunk! /

✘You'll be out of locus..my rhymes get you stiffer than a programmed robot/ & I won't halt attack..until this bloke is rolled up/ I'll even 'amputate one of my arms'...with a soldier's cold sword/ then have him slammed with the second-hand .... till you almost think he got hit...by a Tokunbo product! /

✘I'm Ted Bundy when i write... Ely's a sore caricature/ getting torn with metaphors/ If he wants it 'nape to nape'...I'll get me a Heckler Koch/ or better still...I'll land 'the back of my hand on his neck' ....sorta like checking for temperature! /

48÷2(9+3)=? ..........

✘He probably can't solve that, cos the rogue so daft/ so many F9's in WAEC...He's a repugnant scrap. a loathsome chap/ & a stranger to Wilshire....cos even researchers have proved....that he don't know Jack! /

✘I'm arsenic, acidic...& my grammar's deadly gas/ Bruce Banner when I spaz...watch my gamma harm the man/ the purpose from the start.... 'was to starve him to death ....drop the bastard's head on sand/ Task accomplished.... cos Ely just died from ONGA ....like it's Mama's helping hand! /
