Not sure if you're implying the winner should have lost or not, I'm not going to speak on that, however I do want to add onto what you're saying... You are correct. I was mentored by someone this last year sort of, (hes a GC on this site, not going to say names) and he literally told me that your appearance, name, picture, etc, is MORE important.. i repeat, MORE important, than what you're actually writing!!! I was amazed when I heard him say it. I'm amazed by some stupidity. And implementing this whole ''Fair Voters Club'' concept just encourages this behavior and lets this continue. I've been a big fan of rap my whole life and I know a lot about business (my family is big into business, between owning a bunch of properties and land, stock market, lots of investing, etc) and that's why I feel like I have a great deal of knowledge over a lot of these kats. Long story short, if they took away the FVC shit, that would be a huge step in the right direction. Because at the end of the day, if you're going into REAL LIFE and making real music for real fans, there's two things you need to know. 1.) Lyricism will only get you so far, you have to remember you're making MUSIC too, it has to be catchy and grab attention in some sort of way. Which is why Eminem has been the GOAT for so long and will continue to be. 2.) No opinion is worth more than another. It's not about WHO you impress once you make it big time, it's more about how MANY. Sure, I'd rather make a dope 10/10 verse that could impress some vets on the site, like Rule, Fiji, Real Talk or somebody, but in reality it matters more about the majority, so if I get 10 noobs, that's better than those 3 opinions at the end of the day.

Sorry for the long story, but maybe this will capture someone's attention and make them realize that maaaaybe FVC isn't such a good idea afterall...
