PUNCHLINE GROUPIES

[Prodi G]

Well personally (this is just according to my preferred style of rap) I think the punchline should be the centrepiece. It’s the dough, and the multi’s,rhymes,wordplay,vocabulary and metaphors are the cheese sauce and toppings. If you have just the dough (punchlines) it’s boring, but the more and more you add on to it the more and more it gets better. But you can’t have the toppings without the dough, because then it wouldn’t be a pizza (You can have rhymes multis etc, but without punchlines you ain’t got a battle rap). I prefer straight up hard hitting punchlines then creative punchlines that don’t hit hard. Punchlines should make you think “Holy shit this guy is getting flamed”, not “wow that’s quite creative, nice”. I prefer a diss talking about a guy shooting up a rival crew (Hit em up) over a guy making fun of someone for nothing (Killshot). The first proves your a total badass motherfucker that’s not to be messed with, and the latter proves you can make old disses better by changing words around. The punchlines should always hit hard and should always make the opponent feel like shit. If your opponent laughs and thinks it’s cool, instead of how they are being verbally fucked, you are doing something wrong.

I definitely have an unpopular opinion though. I know there are more people who prefer creative stuff over the gangsta shit.

I'll only agree to that if we do an audio battle.

We're not supporting those anymore, y'all can set it up but we won't enforce it unless the loser requests to be perma-banned.

I'd encourage a Name / Avatar change instead of losing a member on just one battle, on a bad day anyone can beat anyone once.

How bout this. 3 Battles. 3 Weeks. 1 Battle = Text. 1 Battle = Audio. 1 Battle = Cypher. Three weeks provides more than enough time for each rapper to write their own raps, and edit them. With the 3 different battles it addresses everyone’s strengths and weaknesses. Don’t do a permanent ban, they will use ip vanish just to create another account. Instead remove all the wins from their account, and make them public ally apologize to the winner, and make them admit the winner is better than them. Make both participants have text consent. This method embarrasses the loser, crowns the winner and provides hell of a lot of enterntainment. It also provides fair ground for each of the rappers to stand on.

Eh. I don't see the value in tinkering with the rankings (removing wins) based on a bet but I do like the idea behind 3 styles being used in a competition though, if enough people are interested we could bring back the LBTT (LB Text Topical) monthly competition where people drop cyphers to run alongside the LBA & LBT. There could be a LBAT (LB Audio Topical) as well.
