Well, so much for my hopes of a 32 man bracket.

Congrats to Guru champ SuperNiceDog! All hail our Guru overlord.

I would like to eventually see a Board 8 vs. Rap/Hip board contest. It's win win, since we'd clearly be the underdogs in their eyes.

Haha do this. They won't know what hit em.

See, I fear that that would turn into a pissing match with the voters rallying rather than choosing the best raps.

Giving this until Friday.

No R/HH board people, please.

We need 100% completion on Rap Battle 5.

That is to say, EVERY board 8er.

Hopefully that incites some achievement/trophy lovers to join in.

I hear rumors of an Ed Bellis vs Smurf rap battle, so I will hype that even though it won't actually happen.

What is up for grabs is to be determined.

I have been informed that the field is pretty small this year and my participation might be helpful.

Is this what I think it is? Like, are people signing up to RAP BATTLE each other, or am I missing something? >_>

Yup!

Here's a sample rap battle from last year:

Curt
Pay attention cuz this radioactive attack is attractive
ascention the goal won't let it go as this track is enacted
like no other you spit flow and there's prattle 'wow, a prose'
I got mer though so no hope for you if this battle comes to blows
it's time for my scheme to blow up with my rhyming might
a sublime chime as your head explodes with each punch, dynamite!
a site is my catalyst for this chain reaction, but you're the chemist
maybe you missed the composition for this fission; you've been apprenticed
could have been a doctor or dentist, christ, you've got no chemistry with words
should have me as a proctor, watch as I slice you with diction in three thirds
'n I'll massacre your whole city b****, yeah cuz I'm so ****en ill
your ride? a buck fitty, 'rich*', call me a ****en coup de ville.

Dilated Chemist
Before I unleash the beast in me, here's one thing that you need to read.
Difference between me & C? He's illiterate - I write ILL literacy!

My Optimus Prime rhymes are here to best your dull raps.
I'll swoop and kill your Coup De Ville with my Energon Axe!
Get the facts straight, b**** - you don't stand a chance against greatness.
All the hype you made for this and not one amazingly great diss?!
Mister B. atleast put effort in his last verses and tried to fight for
--
---Wait, that Lizard be the last person you lost to... yeah, cry more!
I'm down to four lines, got your rhymes to get some notable laughter.
Dawg, you couldn't get radio active in the Chernobyl Disaster!
I've mastered the rap pen, you lack the finesse to compete or test.
My lyrical sickness, I'll leave you win-less - your texts are weak at best!

Curt
You look shook after that weak **** waiting for my next hook
I spit hard rhymes, like you got hit with lines written in a text book.
Optimus died last time, didn’t he? Couldn’t be much.
Like a Rodimus Prime imprint I’ve got the touch.
But I’ll agree that this emcee drops ill literacy
Still feel queasy see from the words I was forced to read.
A killing sprees what this’ll be ‘n nobody can protect him.
Yeah I’ll wreck ‘em leavin’ this rap to explode up in his rectum.
Your ‘lyrical sickness’ works if your listeners are schizophrenic,
This board’s sick mess, like Oskana to Mel their affection’s synthetic.
It’s dramatic how emphatic –ly this spree led you 6 feet beneath,
The ground. When he was found DC needed to fix more than two teeth.

Dilated Chemist
The worst rappers and authors could show this moron who's who.
Your verse is all hype, then disappointment - like porn on youtube!
This chicken bleeds cordon bleu juice while DC is the God emcee.
You can go stick this up your ass - like your practicin' sodomy!

My fans aren't liars, I'm flawless. I'm sure to prevail in this fight.
My hooks will wire your jaw, b**** - like an oral surveillance device!
I'm sure my rhymes will suffice, I'm just too nice when I write.
You're like the Washington Wizards - you're just not right with the mic!
I'll have you sacked and tied in front of an audience as big as half this site.
And the crowd will be askin' "Why did he agree to a public sacrifice?"
Your life came at a price, but admit it - it was my flow you borrowed.
But it doesn't matter, you're through - this one's FO YO SORROWS!

I just hope I have a bit of leniency or at least plenty of warning on when I'm expected to participate. Only 12 units of real classes this semester (and a tennis class for funsies, yay) but they look like they will be keeping me fairly busy.

24, particularly the 24 we have, is enough to run it the way I planned on.

Alec, I cede command to you, if you want it. Otherwise we'll try again in the nearish future

Alright gentlemen.

With some help of CAREER STATS, some randomizing within "tiers", and a little fiddling to minimize rematches, I think we're ready to go.

Double elimination bracket.

I'll pull together a topic tomorrow.
