Monthly Awards: MCOTM - July 2013

Elevation

Consistency

Quantity of output

Quality of output

Accomplishments (such as tournament wins, winning streaks, big battles)

This is not an ACTIVITY poll, it's about CONTENT; voting IS considered content contribution but shouldn't factor in with more priority than verses or battles.

This is not NEWBIE of the month, it's about who is BEST; elevation IS considered good reason to be made a candidate but quality in content is essential.

RULES FOR VOTING/POSTING

All poll votes must be accompanied by an explanation (can be short)

Reasons for voting must be relevant

Voters must have been reasonably active during the month

You can't vote for yourself

No bitching, if so you just ruin your chances of inclusion


Candidates

Point Blank - Won 2 multi battles, won 3 normal battles including the infamous CeeJay battle, and lost a title battle vs. DTK. Dropped a fair few opens including all the back and forth dissing with LI triggered by the D.O.P.E collab. Got a crew up and running

Kiki Spirez - Dropped a ridiculous amount of Open Mics again as always with plenty of different topics. Won a couple of battles including his classic picture battle against Eldudu in Bloodlines.

DressToKill - After winning the tournament last month DTK got his title battle against Cuba and became Text Champion. Succesfully defended it against Dougy & PB, and had a couple of Open Mics aswell.

Cuba - Lost his title against DTK but followed it up with 3 battles and won all 3, including 2 multi battles.

The Law - The Law is becoming quite the battler on LA and won a few in July. Also dropped a lot of Open Mics.

Nigma - Nigma is starting to make a name for himself now and his use of vocab is up there with the best on the site. Dropped some really creative Open Mics and had a couple of multi battles too.

fuckoff - Won a few topical battles and has been present in Open Mic including in the D.O.P.E. drop. Also won the only audio battle of the month.

Other - There's a few others who deserve a mention but in my eyes they are not realistically in with a chance of winning, unless I've missed somebody really obvious. If you're voting 'Other' then please state who with reasoning.

But as far as overall Content, DTK, Cuba, and PB all on the battle end did damage. Every time they write it's a good read. FO with the nice audios. From Nigma's first battle to what I read from him now he definitely stepped his game up and has an array of an outstanding vocab selection. PB also had some nice OM's too.

As far as voting I think Cuba and Kiki have been very good in this part of the battling. I know all of you have voted too, It just seems that those two have been active on the voting end. But I'm just going off memory could be different if I go back and check the battles last month. But Cuba definitely gives the best advice and votes, IMO. At least I take the most out of his votes.

Kiki GMV For July. He's been consistently dropping back to back OM's. Every one of them have been enjoyable reads with good content. He hasn't been afraid to go at other members (his D.O.P.E.), or just things that have been sparking lately (What's crew). As PB put in the above that have all been different concepts with every concept he brought, he came along with flawless flow and great content. 

merked most of LI, dope opens, did well in the tourny and battlefields.

def honourable mention to Dress, doing very well to see off point in the title challenge.

If Dress did drop subpar in them, God help us when he drops what others perceive as Dope.

PB and Dress beefed, they had a battle, Dress won. 

Me and PB beefed, wrote some dope pieces that made each other go, 'fair play', we moved on. 

What part of that looks like an obvious 'bettering'? 

Any of LI will give PB his props, this isn't an arrogance thing, but don't go saying we all got 'murked', then say, 'no stop it!' when we respond.
