RAP BATTLE TOuRNAMENT #5

Discussion in 'Music genres, Bands and Artists' started by Fresh Error, May 2, 2011.

  1. DO NOT SIGN UP UNLESS YOU'VE READ ALL THE RULES AND ARE AN ACTIVE GC MEMBER (YOU NEED TO CHECK ON THIS THREAD AT LEAST ONCE A DAY TO KEEP UP WITH THE TOURNEY ONCE IT STARTS)
    if you want in, say so. looking for 16 contestants, and if we get more than 16 sign-ups, i'll host a preliminary round to narrow it down to 16.

    RULES FOR THE TOURNAMENT WILL BE AS FOLLOWS!

    From the time each round starts - contestants have 24 hours to check-in (just find the thread made specifically for your battle, and post "CHECK!" in it
    As soon as both people are checked in - you have 24 hours to drop your verses (16 lines).
    Once both verses are dropped, i'll let voting go for 24 hours. so each round will take a maximum of 3 days. i know it's not ideal cause people wanna flow but it works out smoother this way

    When writing your verses consider the following:
    NO FEEDING/FLIPPING
    NO RECYCLING
    NO SWAYING
    NO BITING

    definitions can be found below. all will result in automatic DQ. and i aint talkin bout Dairy Queen [​IMG]

    Feeding / Flipping

    Feeding is using part(s) of your opponent's verse in your verse against them. Flipping is using part(s) of your opponent's verse and "spinning" off of it. Anything that resembles the above two is included and is not allowed. Will result in a DQ if opponent wishes.

    Example:
    if i had this in my verse:
    "i'm like a bike with no bars - can't handle this!
    steady bringin that fire like candle wicks!
    "

    my opponent couldn't respond with this in his verse:
    yeah you're like a bike with no bars! YOU GOT NO BARS!
    i'm fly like birdies and you aint SHOT NO PARS!


    Recycling

    Recycling is reusing your own past lyrics/concepts in newer material.

    Swaying

    Persuading voters or would be voters that a verse is better than and/or deserving the votes in comparison to the opposition. Swaying can also be done by talking down on a verse or pointing out its flaws.

    Examples of swaying:

    "I keyed my verse in like 15 minutes but it took him HOURS to make his." (This doesn't matter. As long as it's in before the deadline the time used to make the verse is irrelevant)

    Biting

    Biting is using other people's lyrics and passing them off as your own.

    VOTING:
    Voting will be explained in the original post of all battle threads. Everyone's votes will be counted as long as they follow the voting protocol.


    LINKS TO ALL BATTLES WILL BE POSTED IN THIS THREAD AS WELL AS UPDATES ON THE STATUS OF EACH BATTLE
