I would like to make one thing CLEAR
My beef is not with Rigga
My beef is not with the outcome of Verity's vote (although i believe it to be bias i will never have proof)
My beef is with the result of ONE CATEGORY
TOPIC
As stated in the previous thread that set this battle in motion.
(Which i would link but it seems to have been misplaced conveniently)
The topic decided and agreed upon. was MORTAL KOMBAT
Now Verity posted it as Mortal Combat
I should have made it clear then, but i didnt think i was misunderstood, because anyone who reads the words MORTAL COMBAT instantly thinks of the game.
If this WAS misunderstood the battle should be scrapped.
However i dont see how it could have been with
1. My original post
2. My verse which was posted first showed the topic i meant
3. Rigga's statement "Outside the box"
I agree with a "Outside the box" approach in topicals.
This is why i actually rhymed outside the box myself, which more than likely wasn't even taken into consideration.
Again i reiterate, i am only arguing about the result of ONE category.
So ill break it down for yas.
on mics youll find im FAH-STAH, i AM WHAT I AM
like im facin kaTANA, when i STAND BEFORE FANS
its HAND AFTAH HAND, always on a HIGH PUNCH
twelve hit combos leaven bodies in the SPIKES STUCK
then i LIGHT UP nades that STRYKA THROWS
a toasty up-start, then im FIGHTING SMOKE
-scorpion- when i -torture him- BEHIND THE ROPES
-screamin- like -Sheeva- on the HIGHEST NOTE
not the KIND TO CHOKE, im not TALKING OF MICS KID
call me lu kang, cause im WALKING WITH FLY KICKS
im not a striker, or the SORT TO JUST FIGHT PIGS,
im ORDERING NICE RIBS when they CAUGHT WITH A NIGHT STICK
All of the above, every line is about Mortal Kombat from the standard perspective, Using various styles and techniques of rhyming.
Standard double rhyme schemes (my favorite)
Basic Multi (half a line without rhymes for simplicity)
Wordplay: Upstart (a term for sum1 who has risen steadly to wealth or high position)
Inner rhymes (AKA minor schmes AKA rhymes within rhymes)
Large Multis (aka String Rhymes)
Flow Transitions : Continuing the rhyme scheme for one beat longer than necessary to create a smoother transition into the next line.
im OFTEN LOOSING GAMES, its not a PROBLEM TO ME AYE
i can HONESTLY JUST SAY ive got a POCKETFUL OF CHANGE! (lol)
but BEFORE THA HEADS BLEED during a RUMBLE FOR A LIFE
ull see aMORTAL TECHNIQUE as they STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE!
im not STOPPIN TRUE EVIL, but my EYES ARE OBSESSED
when im WATCHIN TWO PEOPLE as they FIGHT TO THE DEATH
All of the above rhymes are taken from a "Outside the box" approach, as i am not directly referring to the game, however still remaining on topic, with not as many different styles.
Double Rhymes (My favorite)
Large multis (AKA String rhymes)
Nameplay: aMortal Technique (Immortal Technique)
Dead Transitions : Using a completely different rhyme to set up the next bar, thus creating a more "emphasized" annunciation of the start of each bar.
with a RIGHT AND A LEFT, wicked "STRIKES TO A HEAD"
a -nice "match"- like -syrax- ull "FIND BITS OF RED"
then he FIRES FROM THE CHEST, a MISSLE MADE FOR WAR
then this KID'L CHANGE HIS FORM Striker's PISTOL AIMIN FORTH
All of the above, is back to the more standard way of taking the topic Mortal Kombat. With some of the previous styles used.
Wordplay : "Strikes to a head" "Find Bits of Red" "Match"
Small and Large Multis
Inner Rhymes
Flow Transitions
Granted i did end this entire thing 2 lines short of a perfect flow. (According to cadence)
My apologies that i made a mistake, Syrax is yellow, not red. my bad. I got him and Sector confused. Is that why you voted me off topic?

-Side note, I have pm'd various mods about this,including RULE, because i am not taking this one lying down, I spent hours composing that verse, and i am planning on making a track about Mortal Kombat as a result. I have pm'd various respected members also, to give a wide range of perspectives on the matter.
