Grand Championship Round Two Review!

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...psb6f1c408.png

The second round of the Grand Championship had some great battles. Only one no-show for the entire round was a massive bonus, and a final-worth clash between GRizzEAT & ILLoKWENT led a fantastic line up.

So lets now lets get into the best (and worst) of the Grand Championship round two!

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps70609141.png

GRizzEAT Vs ILLoKWENT

This battle was supposed to of happened a few months ago for the LBT Championship. these two guys were considered favourites for the Grand Championship, with this battle being citied as a probable final. On this occasion the LBT Champion was in lethal form, and won by a solid margin, to head into round three with a huge amount of momentum.

---------------

Dean Vs Manhattan

This was probably the closest fought battle of the tournament so far. Both brought there own signature styles and put on a great clash. For Dean to exit in the second round after posting a verse like this is a terrible shame, but Manhattan can go on content that regardless of what happens now, he's already had a classick.

---------------

AmBitiousFlow Vs AfterThought

This all-MM clash was a banger, with the two trading punches throughout. The end result was a close one, with Ambo exiting a tournament surprisingly early, and AfterThought threatening to fulfil his potential at long last.

---------------

Deja Bleu Vs Dissizit

Bleu put in a great effort against one of the tournaments favourites. Bleu's strong performance made this an intriguing battle, and Dissizit was lucky he respected his opponent and dropped heavy, because this close battle could of quite easily been the upset of the tournament.

---------------

Dysfunctional Vs Lockhart

Despite the one-sided percentage result, this battle was nonetheless a hard fought and quality clash of bars. Lockhart was able to keep his verse a level above his opponents throughout to claim another strong victory.

Agonize Vs Fidel Z

The form of both these battlers prior to this battle could not of been more different. Agonize who had been in a massive slump since winning his JOB Championship, had struggled for months to defeat a really strong foe, whilst Fidel Z has been over-performing for nearly half a year, racking up a 5-1 LBT record and running through everyone put infront of him. However in a battle you are only as good as the verse you post, and Agonize pulled a victory out of the bag to score the rounds only upset.

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps4520d0a1.png

The biggest disappointment without doubt was the no-show of Subreal. Sub, considered the tournaments most likely dark-horse, came into the tourney with a huge amount of hype, and to crash out on a second round no-show was a terrible way for his momentum to halt. The only other disappointment of the round was due to another unfortunate GC tradition: The bad loser. With both Rohaan and ET the Refugee letting themselves down by blaming anything and everything, besides there bars, on there losses. Lets hope this is a tradition that ends with the next rounds results.

Illo, you just defeated one of the strongest tourney entrants in round two. What are your thoughts on the battle?

Quote:

Knowing the strength of my opponent helped me get into that different mindset ..or killer instinct that i had to bring out in order to take care of business. I dont have a choice in dropping anything less than some heavy bars... i learned not to take anyone lightly anymore. Hats off to grizz for puttin in that work..no pun intended..lol

Lol, which battle besides your own, impressed you this round?

Quote:

I would have to say the dissizit battle and man down had a good showing..

Speaking of which, thats a tough 3rd round clash you have ahead of you. Do you feel confident you can keep the standard of your bars high for another 4 battles?

Quote:

The gc is a marathon of battles..and doin all those 32's has mentally prepared me to drop alot of bars at any given time...so yeah im pretty confident.. i have no choice but to take on whats thrown at me..

Does anyone stand out on the bottom bracket as a probable finalist you'd face?

Quote:

Im not gonna rule out anyone from that side because at any given battle one might prevail over the other. Due to rust or other circumstances.. At face value ask would be the obvious choice.but hes had a bye these last two rounds while the others been puttin in alot of work so rust may level the playing field to that extent..

Finally, any words for MAN DOWN ahead of your third round clash?

Quote:

Go to sleep ,craig....just go to sleep...

Illo, fresh off of his big second round victory over Grizzy is confident. There is no doubt that he is the one to beat this year. Time will tell if Illokwent can become the next big thing on Letsbeef.

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps541cade7.png

Punk, whats your thoughts on your battle from round 2?

Quote:

idk i think my verse got slept on a bit. I tried a different approach last round and i feel like that verse beat a lot of my previous writtens. I didn't kill ET like i wanted to but he still got bodied and that's all that matters wit his round 2 ass. PS:Stop inboxing me about how you should've won X)

Kids lol. What battle impressed you this round?

Quote:

None tbh but there was a few good ones. Lockhart bodying Dys was pretty cool. MAN DOWN's always a good read so his battle was pretty nice.. AND I'd like to let a few dudes know (Black Book/Dissizit) that they really need to step it up next round. They're really taking these contestants lightly which can hurt them.

Which third round battles are you checkin for from a readers standpoint?

Quote:

I wanna see Manhattan & WarSand snap. Some dope writers that haven't really gotten the spotlight yet. The finals is getting close and I feel like they will start putting more effort into their shit.

Can you predict the likely final at this point?

Quote:

na not at all lol. By next round, it should be a bit more clear.

Finally, any words for your opponent in the upcoming round?

Quote:

This being our 3rd battle, we meet in the third round, and I'm looking to be 3-0 against aggy... IMA BODY YOU!!! PS: Also.. I would like to Shout out the FTOH movement!

The power of three. Another big part of the Letsbeefinati. ItsAllAFix! #Fresh2Death.

VJ, what was the highlight of round two for you?

Quote:

It's a tough one. I'd say AmBitious Flow vs AT was the best. But you also got MD vs Anarchist , even though the percentage was big, it was still a tight battle."

Anyone disappoint you with there performance this round?

Quote:

Crysis was a disappoint. I was expecting a much closer battle than that but the margin of the percentage says it all. Rohaan was also a disappoint. I thought this match-up would of went down to the wire but BB did his thing."

Does anyone stand out as a likely champion to you after two rounds of action?

Quote:

Illo will reach the finals easy... I think he is the favourite of winning it especially with those previous battles that he cruised through comfortably. Also Askari, he hasn't had much competition but he is a favourite for the championship. So yeah, that's my final prediction

Which round 3 battle are you looking forward to the most?

Quote:

MD vs Illo. This battle is gonna be so close if they both come with their A game. Whoever wins this goes to the final as i see it, so this will be one battle i'll be looking at carefully. There's a few others like Diss vs Obey, but nothing beats the MD vs Illo battle this round

Finally, name your favourite battle of the tourney so far?

Quote:

Rican vs GRizzEAT. Still disappointed in Rican slightly because i thought he could take this. But overall this was a good spar and an entertaining battle, two heavyweights hungry. They were both rusty for what they can produce but a part from that, I felt this was a favourite.

VJ, while he's left the tourney as an entrant, has still been following (and more importantly VOTING) on the battles. I think his view that Illo Vs Man Down will spawn one of the two finalists is a likely one, but time will tell as there are many battlers with the ability to change that.

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps1c10c44d.png

Oskar, you were due to face the highly fancied Subreal, but he turned out to be the rounds only no-show. Were you disappointed?

Quote:

Yea ofc. I mean I wrote bars I was happy with and my battle was the only one not to get poppin so...you know

Confident you could of took him?

Quote:

You always gotta have that confidence in a tourney battle. If you don't then you shouldn't be here in the first place. I've seen him post some decent shit but I was pretty confident ye

Cool cool, what was your favourite battle of the round?

Quote:

They all were shit...nah playin...What I meant to say is i dunno cause i vote without reading...based on popularity we know how we do!...playin again...AT vs Ambo man gotta show that Murda love

With two rounds already done, Does anyone stand out as a clear favourite for the title to you?

Quote:

Winner of Man Down and Illokwent can win it, AT can win it to....Also don't forget bout Askari...Imo we got some big names in there n alot of dope upcoming battles it's impossible to predict

Finally, any words for your opponent this round?

Quote:

Modern Era Oh's. Someone who has it in him but is incosistant AF and can't predict what he gonna bring to the table. I see him talkin shit in the forums tho saying he'll body me but it's all good. Book, don't forget the reason why u didn't make it past the first round in the tag tourney

Harsh but oddly true. I dont know if anyone has ever had more potential, but bigger disappointing performances on Letsbeef than Black Book. OSKAR is in a prime position to knock BB out, and start his own personal-best tournament run.

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...ps667a2a1d.png

Rohaan. When the round closed you instantly changed your name to: I JUST GOT ROBBED. That speaks volumes alone but give me your detailed thoughts on the battle.

Quote:

Ok man heres the thing,Look at both the verses,it's obvious,my verse was aimed AT black book,BB had generic lines which could be used against anyone...he could have prewritten that shit before the GC even started. Furthermore,he stretched like a motherfucker... if he would have just cut down on the filler and would have added a few more punches in there,it would have been dope. Bar for Bar,i had more punches than him and all my setups were relevant to the punches, i admit he had better wording but I still think I won that bout

Fair enough, but dont you think that acting up after a loss prevents you elevating? Instead of getting angry at losing, you could in-turn use that energy to find out what you need to strengthen etc etc

Quote:

Yeah you're right but to be honest,I put in a lot of work, i just feel that Black Book didn't deserve to win that bout,real talk. The thing which pissed me off is that I had dudes hitting me up saying his exorcist line was dope(which wasn't original at all),truth is that he used a line "it's a helluva time like using satan's clock" or something like that last year. That seriously pissed me off. That's the sole reason why I got mad.

Ok, time to move on i'd suggest though. I think you managed to put some shine on your bars with this tourney run. Do you think you can reach a point where your bars, rather than your antics, is what you are known for?

Quote:

o doubt,Imma be a mature guy,stop with the forum antics for a while and just focus on my wording and punches.

So besides your battle, what was the best of round two?

Quote:

that's a hard one but Ill go with Illokwent vs Grizzeat,illokwent beasted..that drop of the hat line was crazy (I was the first lb member to quote that line haha).. grizz had a decent drop too.

Yeah that was poppin. Ok finally, who do you think will win the GC?

Quote:

I think at the moment,Illokwent and Manhattan are beasting,so if I had to choose,it'd be one of them

Rohaan frustrations appear to be waning, hopefully he can turn thimngs around with some positive attitude.

- Wonderbred (Vs Crysis)

Fixed :D

Quick question for Rohaan. How does Hell of a Time and Satan's Watch relate to Get The Hell Outta There and Exorcist Priest. I can't use hell concepts any more? Should I just avoid anything with the word hell in it?

That "dressed for the occasion" line was dope, though.

Shut yo bitch ass up. Crying in here. Feminine ass fag.

Someone be impressed by my interveiw....

I'd just like to say fuck you @Punk I was not bodied it was a close one but the votes did not show that

Great mag @RULE. Hopefully I can pull off the upset of the round next round :D

@Wonderbred Good luck fam :D

If someone would like to explain why (legitimate expos not just "you suck")@Punk 's verse was so much better, I'm all ears. Not bitching i just thought his wasn't really good.

I got bodied? You lost. No robbery.

I guess when your crew leader is running the tournament you can expect a victory.....http://i2.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/...04/images.jpeg

Damn @RULE no interview? @ILLoKWENT u defly getting hyped up, congrats. Make sure u say sum real shit in our battle.

You have turned into such an incredible faggot.

Lets look over the facts.

Recruited to Chloro (Potentially the best member while there).
Brought up to ACs
Kicked for inactivity, got told you can return if you're battling again.
Call me unloyal, and thank me for finally allowing you to be crewless.
Turns out he asked BSI to join before hand. Joins BSI despite thanking me.
Join tournament, tell everyone involved that you arent impressed.
Sway on a battle by saying "I wont expo, my opponent will have plenty already".
Post complaining that you lost a battle, claiming conspiracy from crews.

I mean, yoou started out so well :D

I just don't give a fuck. You don't get it do you?

Besides i wasn't "brought up to AC 's" the crew fell apart and you moved me up to save a sinking ship. Then you started acting like emperor Eth and i decided i wanted out. I was looking for a crew before i got kicked and was on the fence about just being crewless but Lockhart made me feel welcome so i joined BSI. And the GC IS A JOKE.

Alright, let's examine a good chunk of your verse.

To everyone TELLING THAT HE'S HARD-He has so much filler on a track so how is he a VETERAN WITH BARS,its like "hes preparing for a race"..He's "STRETCHING FROM THE START"(X_x)/
This is a decent concept cuz it's personal and I haven't seen it before. But look at the multies. Tell-ing That He's Hard, Vet-er-an With Bars, Stretch-ing From The Start. I mean Tellin That, Veteran, Stretchin From? Those rhyme? Nope. He's Hard, With Bars, The Start. I guess that works if you say the like thee instead of like da.

Im not 'pulling ya cards' but why did u copy DADDIO,HIS LINES or his SWAGGER IN YA RHYMES?Its not the first time we seen 'Black-Jack' so its a 'safe bet' to say hes known to "GAMBLE WITH HIS LIFE"!
Pulling Ya Cards/Black Jack/Safe Bet = Gamble With His Life? Wow, how original. Never seen anything like that before. Plus Black Jack is not an original nameflip ever. It's almost used as much as a Book Spine concept against me. Plus Dad-di-o His Lines, Swag-ger In His Rhymes, Gam-ble With His Life... Daddio, Swagger In, and Gamble With do not rhyme whatsoever. Like get the fuck out of here.

Joined 4 crews in a single year so i doubt this TRAITOR HAS FANS,If we ever see "Black add a homie in his circle",he'll end up being a "SNAKE IN THE GRASS"/
Honestly, don't even get this? What does Black add a homie in his circle have to do with a snake in the grass? Like what? And Trai-tor Has Fans rhymes with Snake In The Grass? Nope, good try though.

WHY U BRAG about the NINES U FLASH?Its "light work" once i 'torch him' when MY TWO "MAGS" "SLICE THROUGH BLACK"/
Bragging about how you beat me bar for bar? Like, this has no impact. It's not setup at all... At least you rhyme here. I don't get this punch either.

Well see Black-out when Ill be HITTING EM WIT A ROCKY JAB to get that "Strap on my shoulder" and "Black-belt,on my waist",u guys WITNESSING A "KARATE CHAMP"!!
Hey, this rhymes to except Jab and Champ... Ya fucked up there buddy. And Black belt doesn't make any sense in a double meaning. Like a karate Black belt but do you mean Black's belt? I don't have a belt. I haven't won anything lol. And then you connect all that to karate. Wow, you're original dude.

You truly did out-bar me here. Lol, you're ass kid. You ain't getting 16.

I'm not bitter. I'll avenge the loss sooner or later.

BSI hasnt created any beasts and wont but good luck.. BSI was basically AC's/Chloro and some other people.. Now its basically Chloro mixed with a few inactive middle/heavyweights.. Nich and Sub aint gonna elevate you.. BSI is about to fall..

Ok. Whatever you say. I don't really need anyone to elevate. I just need to read battles and learn. So i guess I'll be the first beast outta BSI.
