Topic: Topical Title Battle Royale Posted: 28 December 2006 at 9:55am |
Ok.... I counted the votes on the poll the legit 1's An the entrys are....Ice-C King Jehu
ExoDuzt (ns) Mackie replaces Kay-B Sparta Topic is.... U are Muhammad Ali 20 minutes before Rumble In The Jungle Vs george foreman... describe ya feelings before an during the fight.. end it how it finishes.... If u dont kno look it up. Verses Blind... 20lines
Pm to me before Friday 22nd Of Dec Whose gonna be the new topical champ for christmas!
Holla wid any problems kay-b
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee His hands can't hit what his eyes can't see - Muhammed Ali Sweat drippin finally time, weeks of hype forfilling my dreams King Jehu First things first, I saw the documentary "When we were kings" about 7 years ago. I do know that it was against George Foreman, not Frasier. I sure hope you niggas researched this... I hate the line limit... Ali was to much a complex man to be put in 20 lines, but i added many references to shit, like Foreman getting injured and the fight was pushed back a month, Foreman also gave a lot of excuses for losing. Ali Bomaye or however it's spelled, is something his fans used to yell out. Rope-aDope is a technique where you absorb body shots and move quickly to make a stronger, slower man tired enough to take advantage and make your move. It worked, cause it was hot as hell there. There are other ways to go about this, but knowing Ali's cockiness, this is the verse he would've written...
Sparta Gaze raised and eyes glazed, my heart slamming my ribs They say he's plannin' a blitz an' I won't be landin' no hits So I stand in the pit, the trance of the time before harm Thinkin' how I'm gon' avoid the fire of his shining forearms But mine cause more scars, make his corpse surprise the canvas Leave him despised and fan-less with black eyes like pandas The bell sounds...chops through the haze and shatters my daze Spectators howling at the ring where combat is ablaze Straight up I smash with a rocket, he's almost kissing the floor I call upon Allah to guide my fist to his jaw But I must resist and withdraw, survive the heat of the ring Jab him quick to the temple then retreat to the string Quick shots greet him and sting, bell sounds, I enjoy the repose Relieved I've made it through one round and avoided his blows The duel continues...but is seems the monster's legs are tiring I sense his threat's expiring as the sweat's perspiring But the eighth round that we clash...his features flattened with blows Flip with the left then ram a right to shatter his nose He reels through the humid air and falls, I knew right then When his mangled eyes met my glare...he won't have moved by ten... Ice-C Flown out to Zaire by this dude, Don King Focused on Foreman and how I'm gona drop him Aint that simple, feel the vibe of the people But money-men's odds got me miles from an equal Got me backed into a corner, nowhere to go 'Cept to out on the mat where we go toe-to-toe Go blow-for-blow, but he's stronger than me They expect me to come out blazin...gloriously Blast back to my peak - the greatest alive The truth is more bitter, I can taste it inside This dude is a monster, a fuckin phenom!! Strong as six oxen, but he still can't be God Plus I scoped his flaws, my merits can sway Cause Foreman flex big like the american way But he can't last the course, blew evolution And my spirit everlastin like that true revolution He can't damage at all, have him lashin' n roar Piss him off, let him swing, watch his stamina fall He'll stumble, I'll pummel, it'll be over and done He's a derelict home bout to bulldozer this chump Check your history, thats exactly how it went down bitches
Mackie
fuck em all,
they sed clay cudn win, i was weak - it was true then, now cassius X been born agen, soon as i flex within tha ring, ain nobody bringin my heat, not even foremen, bout bouts to begin, start tauntin my oppenen, say my piece, then step inside ring... G's attackin from all sides - im takin the hits in my stride,
Ok vote up.... Who told the most exciting story on Ali |

Kay...Pretty Sick Man, Very Nice. LMAO @ Frazier.Ah Well. Flow Was Pretty Tight, Rhyming Was Decent, Coulda Been Some Multies In Most Places But Overall I Had No Problem With It, Decent Set Up. But I Gotta Say, Some Places Seemed A Tad Forced...Eg. Putting Nope On The End Of Will He Be A Push Over...That Killed It A Bit, And Done Warned Ya. WTF? Anyway Besides That, Pretty Hot Verse, Storyline Was Dope, I Feel The Rhyming Could Have Been Worked On Alot More Though.Jehu...Sure It Was Decent, But That Werent What I Was Expecting At All. For A Title Match, Some Parts Were Not Upto Scratch. Im Iller Than Gorillas And This Cat Might Flee Are Examples, They Had No Significance At All, They Were Just There To Make Up Multies In My Opinion. But Besides That, It Was Hot, Another Dope Storyline. From A Story Point Of View The Ending Was The Best, But Again, WTF @ Putting B At The End Of The 2nd To Last Bar To Make It Rhyme. I Know You Probably Dont Wanna Take Criticism Like This From A 14 Year Old, But I Just Dont Think It Was Upto Topical Title Standard. Sprta..Damn Thats More Like It. Hot Multies All The Way Through This Were Flawless, Flow Was Impecible (How Good Is The Word Impecible :P) And Layout Was Amazing. I Really Dont Know What To Say, All Of It Was Hot, Especially The Way You Set The Story Out.3rd Bar Was Fuckin Dope, Allah Line Was Pretty Nice Too. Hot Storyline, And Your Rhymescheme Was Off The Chain.Closer Was Amazing. Mad Props, Wanna The Dopest Verses I Ever Read As A Topical. Ice, Good To See You Spit Again. Flow Was Crazy As You Always Do. Hmm..Rhymescheme Was Pretty Basic Ye, Multies In Some Places Were Pretty Nice. But I Gotta Say That Story Line Was Fuckin Dope.Nice The Way You Portrayed Everything. Mad Props On This, It Was Amazin. And Mackie You Lucky Bastard Getting Into This Haha. But Back To The Verse, It Was Better Than I Expected, But It Werent Enough To Match Ice And Spartas...Sure, Dope Storyline, Flow Was Impecible But The Rhymescheme Was A Bit WTF...First 4 Lines Were What The Fuck. They Were Dope, But Didnt Rhyme. Plus, I Know It Sounds Stupid, But You Need To Sort Your Spellin Out Haha, It Makes It Incredibly Hard To Read And I Have To Keep Repeating Words To Figure Out What Ur Tryin To Say. Apart From That, Yep Dope Storyline, Decent Effort Mackman :D Damn You 5 Are Lucky, I Never Typed Anythin This Long On LA Before Haha. Its Between Sprta And Ice...Ice Had A Doper Storyline...But I Got To Admit I Got More Enjoyment From Sprta Coz His Rhymescheme Was Dope. Hmm...As Unproffesional As It Is, I Have To Flip A Coin Coz There Is No Way In Hell I Can Pick A Winner Outta You Two...Sprta = Tails, Ice = Heads...........................Tails...Sprta It Is. DAMN, Sorry Ice, Mad Props, Also Well Done Mack Kay And Jehu, This Shit Was Sick. Sprta GMV And Won The Coin Toss :P

Ok......
Kay b:Enjoyed it man, it flowed well and you managed to capture the emotions of the fighters, unlike Point i dont agree that the words on the end of the lines made it seemed forced for me they helped the verse flow. It just dint seem to have that somthing extra that a bit of wordplay would have given it. Jehu:Ok man i liked the short lines and even more so than kay you managed to get to the personal side of ali. This had good reserch put into it and seemed factual and real.Might've lost once, but no shitty forfeit Getting knocked out? Nope, I'm too pretty for it. I liked this bit in particular as it seemed the kind of thing that ali would say. Nice. Sparta: For me the lines were slightly too long to make it an easy read never the less it was the best verse so far at portraying the phsicality of the boxing ring. You could feel that punches being thrown. Was nice but for me not such as easy and free flowing verse as jehus. Ice: My favourite verse so far, for me it was the most humorous and afater all ali was a people person and at times extreemly funny it also had the short lines which made it an easy read and flow well. liked this verse a lot. Mackie: Way to step up man in fact i think you had the best flow of the whole 5. For me it just wasnt quite as descriptive as Jehu and ices but it was def my third Favourite verse. This verse showed a maturity of the topic Yet like kays it lacked a slight bit of magic which your flow diserved. For me its between Ice and jehu but for me Ice just takes it as i felt he captured Alis essence the best of all 5. Vote Ice c |

Kay B
Liked this verse though your topic was different. Good descriptions here. Concentrated on a lot on Ali before the fight which is understandable. Your topicals are usually based on descriptions over story tellin', but I was still feelin' this overall man. Ending was good, but not great imo. The buildup throughout ya story was straight dope though. Built up the event more than actually givin' the event though... Nice verse... 8/10 King Jehu Ha... Reeeeally captured the voice of Ali here man. I can imagine him saying this shit. Flow was very nice due to the short line and multies combo, and the story still made a lot of sense. Only thing I felt this lacked a bit was the excitement factor of the actual fight. You did a great job of describing the actual event though.. doubt anyone's gunna top the extra details such as the Zaire component, rope a dope., foreman's injury etc... 9/10 Sparta Flow competed well with Jehu's. Arguably the best told story and ending here so far. An overall great verse imo. You seemed to have done a bit of research too, but still didn't incorporate as much as Jehu... Hmm, dope story tellin', but didn't capture Ali's voice as well as Jehu.. SO it's like that... Very hard to choose between the two... I gotta give Jehu the edge here though 'cus he did tell a great story along with the better voice to me.. 8.5/10 IceC Oh sheeit, brought some hotness here. This verse came off about the same par as sparta's to me... Dope story tellin... loved the way it was presented and ended. Ain't matchin Jehu's Ali voice though. Ending was also nice... 8.5/10 Mackie Nice job of comin in late and doin ya thing. Flow wasnt as polished as the verses before you, but you came decently enough to not embarrass yourself. Ending was nice, but the overall story buildup wasn't as interesting as the verses before yours. 7.5/10 Overall... I was gunna write a verse for this, but then ain't have enough time to sit down and do it, but while I was doin' ma research, my verse woulda looked a lot like Jehu's... Came in the most preferable style I would have came in if I was in this tourney, and therefore gets my vote... He genuinely captured Ali's voice imo man, and also incorpoarted the rope a dope and other defined details... All fairly well written verses here... Line limit bein' longer would have also made this a lot easier to vote 'cus some storys could have been more built up and more defined.. Then again, who would read/vote? Votes are scarce enough in the battle as is wit 20 lines a verse V/ KJ **Edit*** Advertisin': Votes needed in Assassins Vs Dynasty. Hit up as many battles as possible if you ain't involved in it..

Kay b- fraiser lol. Ill try and discount that, flowed well in most places, which is what Id expect. Told the story well, besides the obvious error. Great rhyming throughout, and a few great multis, which improved the flow. I liked your story, it was told well, but It was just missing something special. All areas were done well, but not amazing. 7/10 King Jehu- hmmm, started off sickly, with great rhyming throughout, in most places flow was on point. A lot of research went into this, which I liked a lot, showed the effort, multis wernt relly present, besides illa gorilla lines. I relly like the way, you became ali, with some serious cockiness like you said, seems like the type of rap hed write. Rhyming was good, lines were quite short aswell, which doenst take a lot away from it, but seemed like you could have fitten more into your verse, like one line was only 4 words. Overall, a great story told 8/10 Sparta- usual layout for you, flow was great throughout, loved the way there was tons of rhymes throughout the verse, ie first line, 3rd bar etc. helped flow a lot, end rhyming was good, story told was decent, I really liked it, I felt there was something missing to put it in the 9 10 catergory. ( hard to explain ). But a lot of research went in to it, shattered his nose, and allah/ jaw lines where my favourite. Story was great, flow was great, pretty much what you want in a topical 8.5/10 IceZ- wow, id say best flow in the contest. Was great throughout, there was no real knockout lines for me, but saying that, each bar was of a very high standard, multis were very good, helped your verse roll of the tongue, great telling of the story, how you were the underdog, then how you boxed to victory. Was a very polished piece of work. I liked it a lot 9/10 Mackie- was good, but not the best, had good flow in most places, and told the story well, but rhyming was a bit suspect, quite hard to let this verse roll of the tongue. First 2 3 bars in the 2nd section I really liked, told the story very well and relly got me into it, sort of fell off a bit, if the standard had kept that high. Then you wud have been in with a chance, end bit was a bit going through the motions of what happened. Overall and enjoyable well told verse 7/10 overall- icez and Sparta stood out for me, like point said, a bit longer line limit, and maybe jehu wud have took this. But as it stands. Icez took this for me, Sparta came really hard, and I relly liked his verse, I think icez just had sumthing a bit special about his, that set his apart from the rest |

Aight killas... who wants my title the most Kay... it's George Forman...not Joe Frazier...sorry but that's just put u almost completely out of the running straightup... Anyway... not snappy enough for a fight sequence really... lines a little too long and it reads too slowly... 15th round?!... umm... I get the feelin' boxing isn't your thing as you didn't really manage to capture an image in my mind... it seemed like pretty primitive, basic description... Jehu... absolutely killed it... goddamn... loved it... loved the cockiness and the factual accuracy and more or less everything... rhyme scheme hot as hell... shiet son... what more can I say? Sparta... damn... that's hot... different to Jehu but equally effective execution... more poetic and I can dig it... very nicely done... built more tension but didn't create the air of cockiness... and the topic states you're supposed to BE ALI... so yeah... hot shit tho... u got talent... but one thing I advise is not to rhyme too many syllables too often... 'cuz sometimes it hinders instead of helpin' Cuba... yeah very nice... flipped it differently to everyone else but you pulled it off... nice flow and simple but hot use of rhymes... only thing is maybe the lack of Ali-ness again, like Sparta... here I could see the tactical genius in Ali comin' out but still lacked a lil fuego Mackie... rhymes lacked rhythmic accuracy for me... like they seemed to pop up here and there with not enough cohesion and it kinda threw it off a bit... description was a bit too basic... needed to get into it a bit more... sorry I'm tired now so I'm not gonna go too in depth... I ain't hating tho, it just wasn't up to scratch... I could deliberate this for paragraphs to come... it does come between Jehu Sparta and Cuba... I think Jehu and Cuba read a little more fluently... Sparta had the intensity... Jehu had the cockiness... Ice was a nice mix but I think Jehu had the right stuff in the right amounts to make the best and most effective combo to really put across Ali during Rumble in the Jungle... close tho... impressive VOTE: Jehu |

Kay B- Nice verse man, flow was great and storyline was dope..i guess more multies could have been added, but i felt you did a fine job with that...i think the push over...nope line wasn't really forced at all.... i thought you had a nice ending and nice description though i felt you built up the event instead of telling the event which is fine... overall- you had a good verse mainly cause of the strong flow and story tellin along with descriptions 8/10 King Jehu- Looks like you did your research, always good to see that plus you got into Ali's personal side which i thought was nice...you described the event well, some nice multies though i don't like the iller than gorillas line...flow was great too...Did a real nice job and you got your facts staight...nice job with the rhyme scheme and everything was just good
9/10
Sparta- Dope flow, storyline, love the allah thing, and you did an overall great job...i thought you, Jehu were tied for the best with Cuba flowly really closely...lots of rhymes and all good stuff...Overall- you did a great job with this 9/10
Cuba- Nice flow, kind of simple rhymes but i thought you made them effective...You had a great story and you simply just did a good job but i think were slightly under Jehu n' Sparta....8.94/10
Mackie- You still had a good verse but not enough to compete with Sparta, Jehu, and Cuba...Rhymes were iffy...and your flow was still good...you also had a good story but you needed to be more descriptive and have a little bit of a better verse to just compete with the others... 7/10
Overall- This came down to Jehu and Sparta....Jehu captured Ali and Sparta had probably the best story out of everyone and had equal great flow with Jehu....I kind of went back and forth with this but my vote is gonna go to Sparta, props on a dope verses from everyone
V/sparta
