Monthly Awards: LA Veteran Nomination Thread

As a way to help kick-start a revival of Hall of Fame, I have created this thread for people to nominate other members they feel should be listed on the prestiges LA Veterans page.


You can nominate anyone from the past or present as a Veteran. They do not need to be active any more. You can nominate them for what ever reason you wish. You can nominate as many or as few people as you wish as veterans. You can (and should) re-nominate anyone who has already been nominated by another member.


You can nominate your self, if you are such an egotistical bastard that you feel you need nominating before anyone else from the 10+ years of LA history. But we all reserve the right to judge you for your selfish act.


It would be extremely helpful if you gave a clear set of reasons why you have nominated the particular member. This will help tremendously in finding how veterans should be decided and what makes someone a Veteran. A Shitty excuse to drop a name only help make Hall of Fame and the Veterans page shitty.


You can always share your opinion on what you feel makes a Vet in my request for feedback on the vets page thread.

Kiki Spirez

MNGTJBrenn- He is holding it down on the battlefield, makes sick-ass sigs for most of the members who have sigs. He has great OMs when he drops 'em. He has been here since 05 and is still active and helping the site.

And all mentioned have a great shout as to why they should be picked.

I have more to add (10 years gives you a lot of shit to work with in terms of people you admire.)

dalinquent - been here forever, former crew leader of a crew I was in (Asylum.)  One of the few cats who's consistently held it down in audio, a genuinely great guy with solid battle skills to boot.

Nepenthez/Scorpia King - Again, been here forever, recruited me to my first ever LA crew "Frontline" before IceCuba stole me away to E.L.I.T.E.  A consistent but never stand-out writer, his contributions as a mod and advocate towards LA's future earns him a spot here, someone I honestly like as a person (and gets a shout out for being one of the only other dancers on the site even if it wasn't that serious an endeavour.)

G-Pfeif - Again another cat who held down the audio section of the site, he's also in the forum graphics at the top of the site, and had the balls to show his ponytail despite the mass ridicule he received for doing so. (was also in both Asylum and ELITE with me at various points in history)

Briggzy - He's from my home town, he's approximately 5 foot tall (and I may be being generous) he's ginger and yet he still managed (and continues to manage) to be a really good emcee.  Better as a recording artist than a battler, he had his fair share of beefs with top members back in the day, he still records and has great music.  To me he's a big part of the history of LA, especially it's audio. He deserves the honour.

Stalin - A mod for a long time. Great battler, easiest the most "likeable" of the Renegades outside of the King. This guy is class all the way, always handles himself correctly and never gets caught in the nonsense as far as I can tell.

Sparta - Another class act all the way. I was proud to be on the Dynasty roster with him. Again possibly not the greatest writer of all time, but this guy was a solid contributor to the site for a long time, I'd like to see him get this honour.

mcwoods - I don't care who you are. You aren't as versatile as this kid.  This guy might not have had the best overall technique but he had this uncanny ability to emulate the style of almost any rapper.  Another likeable guy with a great sense of humour, I might not have been his biggest fan a lot of the time, but he worked hard on his shit and it paid off.

edit - I can't believe I forgot...

Kay B - Probably THE nicest guy on LA.  I've seen this guy work his ARSE off to be a better writer, I've spent countless days on MSN giving him feedback and advice on his verses. If anyone embodies "work ethic" on this site, it's Kev. In my mind an absolute legend.
I'm sure I'll think of more as the memories return, I'm getting old and I've abused my mind with far too many substances to be honest, but as the cogs get going I'll probably add to this list.

DTK as well...been here since forever and was champ and is just the dude... deserves it as much as anyone....i ment to mention him in my first post...and Law that shouldnt matter!!! throw my name out there lol

My nominations wud be Point Blank and DTK...Both have been damn helpful in the popularity of this site...Kiki Spirez wud also be an option...They're all damn gud...I've always considered SS an original vet...Si here are my nominations...
PB
DTK
Kiks
SS

Appreciate it SS...but gota be Chain for me, the other half of Kain and easily one of the best writer's on this site

Cuba, I'd rather keep the discussion on how it should work to the other thread and keep this as just a nomination thread.

If anyone wishes to continue that discussion they can in my request for feedback on the vets page thread.

I think Point Blank is definitely a veteran...been active over a long period, been a mod, ran tourneys, really solid record of championing the site in my view.

Hanging Basket if he ever left Lead Mod duties would be another given longevity of contribution to the site.

Is there anyone who stands out from voting/feedback point of view? Sure there are a few but can't think of from top of my head...
