Description
each round, post 5 songs
Round one is dedicated to super lyrical raps
Round two is focused on sonically pleasing ones rather than ones that are necessarily lyrically complex
Round three will focus on raps that you think represent your own personality
Judges should judge based on how complex the lyrics are in round one, how good the song sounds in round two, and how well the songs represent the persona of the one posting them in round 3.
Round 1
Lyrical Mastery Top 5 as of 6th April 2019 from the Guru of rap worldwide; Rationalmadman
The top 5 would actually have 3 songs of Vinnie Paz's groups (Jedi Mind Tricks and Army of the Pharaohs, as opposed to his Heavy Metal Kings group/label) so I relegated 1 of the songs away to make it fair on other artists.
5 is less good than 1, you get the idea. Let's build it up from 5 to 1.
I value flow above rhyme scheme but both undeniably matter a lot.
-
-
4. Anilyst - Lean Back (Freestyle, meaning no chorus)
Only available on YT to my knowledge.
-
3. Army of the Pharaohs - Digital War
Vinnie Paz's group at their finest, lyrically speaking.
-
2. Rittz Ft. Yelawolf Sleep At Night
-
1. Jedi Mind Tricks - Hell's Henchmen
Vinnie at his finest, lyrically speaking.
-
Round 2
2 essential corrections to Round 1:
- I meant 4th June 2019
- The link for Anilyst - Lean Back (freestyle) was incorrect. the song by K.A.A.N. that I link to was my original #4 but I rethought things later, please disregard it. The Spotify link is correct for it.
Here is the correct link for Anilyst - Lean Back:
Now for the moment you all waited for OLE OLE OLE:
The top 5 eargasmic raps that are audibly-pleasing above all else from the Guru of all rap: Rationalmadman
5 is less good than 1, etc. :)
Again flow matters more than delivery for me but both are essential to pull off proper eargasmic rap. The nature of eargasmic rap is such that the hook is not even the most pleasing part but the actual voice rapping (not singing) is what pleases the eardrum. This ethos will indeed give me a very different collection to Pro for R2.
The idea is that you cannot stop listening to them because the voice and music both captivate you throughout.
5. Dax - "Wack Ass Rappers"
4. Chris Webby - Don Corleone (feat. Vincent Pastore)
3. Locksmith - "Ghost" feat. Jarren Benton
2. Nicki Minaj - Ganja Burn
YT: https://youtu.be/eMymSXUN9nQ?t=54 Long Intro demanded a timestamped link.
1. Hopsin - Twisted
Round 3
Forfeited
Round three will focus on raps that you think represent your own personality.

5. Logic - Homicide (feat. Eminem)

4. Madchild - Colombian Smoke
--
3. Iggy Azalea - Started

2. Eminem - Legacy

1. Merkules - Fuck the World (Prod. C-Lance AKA Cole)

NO I HAVE A WRONG LINK FOR ANILYST LEAN BACK
Anilyst lean back is not available of iTunes but is available on spotify I typed that before I posted the link lol

Not a problem. Thank you for your confidence. Mike changed it by mistake while editing the new feature. In my opinion, there should be a designated troll debate when dealing with the right to vote, but they should still affect ELO scores.
That being said, votes can and will still be moderated on non moderated debates
Why do you use the word "severely" like that so often? I
thanks... 'culprit' eh? ;) Mike is a nice enough guy, even if he is cunning.
Thanks also for being the best mod in all respects, consistently. You helped me severely here.
This has been fixed. Found the culprit

I await a reply from Virtuoso.
If you'd do it as a forum battle where it won't effect elo why not just do it here?
I have zero reason to post a single song if this has no effect on rating. I'd do this as a forum battle if you want.
Oh my god post your raps before my penis explodes omgomgomgomgomg
So from now on these debates won't ever be eligible to gain or lose rating? This was 'moderated' at the point of acceptance as well.
Done.
Just allow overlap of a maximum of two per Round and I'll accept.
Are you seriously not capable of using different songs or are you planning on not even listening to what I post to know if it's the same? Would you like to make this debate yourself and have me accept it so you can go first? This shouldn't be such a dilemma for you.
I think we'd have overlap on both 1 and 3.
omg my balls are so hooooooooooooornyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
squeez the juice out of me balls
This isn't a rap battle, but a rap-posting battle where you are supposed to link actual songs..
I don't trust my rapping abilities.
Do you really need to repeat? It's only 15 songs in total. If you want to use songs I've posted outside of this specific debate that's total fine but you shouldn't have to use the same ones I post in this specific one.
How many can I repeat from your selection? We could have overlap in our top 5.
