Rap Battle Tournament 2012 (winter) Info and Signup

Alright, so you think you can rap. While other threads exist for "Battle Rap", I've designed a tournament (shouts to motion for doing this before). Now, understand that the idea to recreate the 2006 thread only came into place yesterday. If you see a problem with the way this is set up, PM me.

Contestants: This first tournament will be limited to 8 poets. First come, first served. If you miss out on being able to battle, don't jet. I'll be more than happy to do this again if the interest is there. Until then, please participate in this tournament by watching the posts and voting for the winner in your opinion.

Battles: Battles will be one-on-one. Each poet will have the opportunity to spit two sets (10-15 lines each set). Back and forth. In good battles, dialogue is important and poets must have the chance to respond to each other. Seniority on grasscity will be used to determine who starts (example: a 5-year member will start first, a 1-year member will follow). Remember that if you don't start the battle, you have the opportunity finish it.

Voting: Voting will be done by fellow community members. After each battle has been completed, there will be a 24-hour window for community voting. At the end of 24 hours, voting is closed. The winner will be the poet with the most votes. Make votes clear as to who won.

Winners: After voting has been completed, a clear winner will be determined. The winner will be announced on the thread, and will also be notified by PM. IN CASE OF A TIE: Both poets will be notified via PM about the tie breaker. Tie Breakers will have a different theme.

Themes: After all 8 contestants have been signed up, the community can post themes. Themes will get more difficult as the rounds advance. Themes will be accepted based on: Originality, Creative Potential, and Difficulty. TIE BREAKER themes will be chosen as needed, and will be more difficult.

Rounds: 3 rounds. Elimination style. Round 1=8 competitors;Round 2=4 competitors;Round 3=2 competitors. Once you lose a battle, that's it-you're out of the tournament.

Battle Times: Competitors will be notified by PM as to their battle time (also to be announced on the thread). If you can not make your battle time, notify me via PM ASAP! After each individual set, the next set must be posted within 30 minutes. When you sign up, please state the times that WILL NOT work for you. Failure to post on time will result in forfeit (IE YOU LOSE).


So, line up, sign up, and practice. Again, when you sign up, please state the times or days that WILL NOT work for you. This will help me organize it effectively.

8 is small, but it might be the right number. I will be interested in seeing how that works and how many people are interested. If there is enough interest and this works I think we should try to make it bigger.

You got some solid rules there. I am going to watch this one play out and I am totally willing to help keep this organized. I will not be a contestant. I am going to see how this plays out and how much fire people come with before Id entire. I consider myself a fan and leave it to the professionals haha.

I could kill a Milli rappers, I guess 8 is enough
MCs disgust me like, two girls tastin the cup

I agree, if this goes smoothly, we'll get a bigger crowd to spit. Just chose 8 at first, because it works evenly with 3 rounds.

Thanks for your offer to help! I'll PM you.

Yeah when I first saw 8 I thought you were making it really exclusive, but then I thought about it being the first (since 06, basically the first time). This is like a trial run in some ways. You got the rules spot on and 8 if perfect.

Aight. We have four poets so far. Here's the list (will be updated):

BadTripDan
iconic3
snakeongrasss
neurodox

Let your friends know this is going on, the more people that want to participate (by battling or just by watching) the better it will be.

Thanks BadTripDan, iconic3, snakeongrasss and neurodox. You're in.

you can head start if you really want to
scoping castle from hill, the name is Nosferatu
Inferred beam aiming at your skull
you still slinging pellets to this bulletproof wall
kick you off your stilts for thinking too tall
sounding like an eminem clone
I got doses for your tone that will acid through your bones
but I'll save it for later when we meet up in the latter
til' then continue coughing up when it don't really matter
my brain is in here but my thoughts is in bed, peace

im down if my computer speeds up when i visit GC, its been real slow recently and im constantly getting 504's i feel like its only happenin to me.... idk what the fuck is up but sign me up for now, when does this start?

Sorry, I'm gonna have to take that as a no for now. I completely understand computer or connectivity issues, but this is the first one I've put together. I have to know that if you sign up, you battle.

Maybe next time, when you get the kinks worked out. I hope to hear your decisions about the battles.
