Introduction;

Well, damn, we have one dope week..followed by one not so dope week?! Maybe thats how it's going to work from now on, every second week will be dope - haha. Nah, but seriously, lets all try to get our verses done this week guys. It has potential to be a great week. I'm delighted with the skill level of everybody in this league, seriously, even the signs in we continue to get are of a high level; Standard Issue, Meters, CrosT Over, Chris Black, Thrust, Tim. I mean, come on, this is the best topical league on the net right now [I never liked the RSTL, sue me!]

[Orc]

The Mod Speaks;

For Mariah and anyone else who actually thinks I am biased..I'm not, lol. It's not a part of my character to be honest. I think Born knows that, or else I wouldn't continue to mod this league [And mod it well, might I add!]. But yeah, I apologise for berating Mariah, we should have kept it in PM's. Nick gets the contendership match this week because he has the most points, damn, it's simple - haha. So yeah, quit complaining.. REMEMBER - It's 3+ votes over your opponent to get a KO win, so be sure to vote on a lot of battles so people return the favor!

Battle Reviews;


Burden Vs Born To Kill.
DAMN at how dope Born dropped, lol. Seriously, if he drops like that vs Eng that is going to be horrible to vote on! =]. Born used a horror type drop to topple my drop here, he had a dope storyline about split personalities, he portrayed each personality individually which gave the drop a nice sense of originality. He also flipped the story around a few times, it was excellent. The flow and multies were dope, he's been getting some abuse about his flow being too simple so he definitely stepped it up here. As for my drop, I chose to write about Juno leaving Zeus, I tried to incorporate mortal problems along with immortal ones, most people liked my drop, as did I. I think I overdone it with the flow here though, it was too much at times. But yeah, Born won 5-0, the voters thought it was close though.

Nathics Vs Nick James.
Well, both are considered rookies, so I decided to pair them up. Nick came out on top, his story was more developed..although he needs to work on some internal multies so that he's not only using end rhymes, Nath tried TOO hard this week, he tried to use over the top vocab and his flow was choppy..take some time with your verses man, read some other peoples verses so that you know how to impove your own. Yeah, it was a short and pretty uneventful battle.. Nick won 5-0.

Pique Vs White-Winter.
Lol, wtf. Pique drops one of his better verses on the site, and then signs out?! I don't get him - he's an enigma. But yeah, his verse was cool, he had a good storyline and the flow was cool, at some points he sacrificed legible wording for the flow which I didn't like though. He used the pictures well though, imo. As for WW, I think he was going for a comic rape drop. SS voters hate any kind of rape drop..as I found out last season vs Baron in playoffs lol. So yeah, stick to your own style man, the one with clever lines. Pique got the 5-0 here.

Brandon Cee Vs HighEngineChief.
Damn, this battle was a bit of a let down =(. HEC dropped a piece with virtually no storyline, it was more of a rant against the Dopeys, lol. But for what it was, it was dope. But seeing as Brandon dropped a full scale topical it didn't really stand a chance. I liked BC's poetic stanzas this week, surprisingly. I liked his flow, it was dope. & the direction that he took the piece in was dope, it was exactly why I chose that picture! So yeah, if HEC hadn't of half assed, it would have been close..but it was a KO for Brandon Cee.

bobberic Vs Engivale.
Great battle here, I think bob could have toppled Eng had he came with a topical with just a little more substance, I mean, his rhyming was excellent but Eng's overal storyline and execution was great. The story itself was somewhat predictable but I liked his various rhymeschemes, I couldn't find any glaring issues, anyway. The voters thought that the battle was indeed close, but Eng pulled away with another KO! That's 3 in a row, can BTK stop him?

Tune in next week to find out!

No Show Shine; Dedicated Minds.

Alluminati;

Catch me if you can..

Catch Me If You Can. - (Total Flip.)

Acoustic envidence, prevalent to an already hostile situation - cause
100 percent of torment cannot lead to salvation of a carotid nation.
A man lay hiding in a depository building with resin inept in his skin,
And a Weapon unearthed in boxes thus showing the gilding of his sin.
For a lifeless lisp is left speechless, and a country on tainted breath,
As the killer gives the run around, the distress of the presidents death -
Sends shockwaves throughout the world leaving many in disbelief,
And a harboured thought in the mind of one man, and the rest of us; grief.

A flag here, a banner there, and a thousand charades of bunting
An eery moment of goosebumps because of numpty confronting -
Causing a glamourous limosine to re-route onto a busy Texas street
Where a fleet of his beloved followers turned up to give him a greet -
With joy, raises his hand to every single cheer,
Without him knowing that he would meet his end here.

Slowly driving, chin in grin, his teeth glisten under the ray of the sun
Smiling brightly and proudly with not a clue of what was about to come.
As they reached a tuffet of green grass, a top a five foot tall fence
The president leads foward, luring the crowd into a false pretense -
As he curled up, to aid; his wife, a bullet strikes his brain, ending his life.

The killer, lined up from a building behind, a window seen open on a top floor
As the officers head straight into the store, one man heads right for the door.
Two smoking capsules found on a windowsill next to a set of breezing curtains
A gun thrown carelessly in boxes, stood at the assassin point for certain.

At 1:50 a man is arrested with murder, and a nation wanting his head
And as he taken into custody, how ironic they would have him dead.
His life taken by Jack Ruby, the first assassination to adore television,
He was brought in by a gangster, for his family sake; and followed his decisions.

Many people to this day believe the tuffet of grass; the grassy knowl -
holds the key to death of JFK, and to whole of the CIA's role.
Footage showing how his body was tossed backwards not forwards -
baffled many to believe if was just a concpricey not murder if any.

This makes you wonder if the killer is alive today, and dump Oswald was the plan
And maybe there's just really one message in this... "Catch Me If You Can".

Lampejo;

Bottled Love..

Bottled Love

I am naked...
heart and soul, I feel so vulnerable and broken
turn away from me I cannot let you see my scars
is it external, internal or a drift of my twisted memory?
I try so hard to be all that is expected
feeling lost, rejected..
Am I true to myself anymore or am I fading?
A toy of their desires, their sincerity jading
Intermittent patterns tracing confusion feeling helpless
Visions pictured in mental, sit there for me to relish
Fragmented sanity to fray reality clouding my mind
Eyes are watery, clouding the eyes and becoming blind
I slip further into the unknowing and pray for myself
I am nothing to them but a toy of sexual indiscretion
Ignored mind while the hands betray the sanctity
An object of prize, no more a human of intellect
Sitting day by day, collecting dust from the neglect
Words twisted to defy meaning of depth and intention deadly
Fake smiles with agendas hidden
While the men look raggedy like the lions mane
I can’t be what you wish me to be, see
Starvation plaguing the strength within my veins
Cuts tracing the once unblemished flesh to vomit frustration
Laughing to hide the tears and crying to fight the fears
Unable to stand alone for my spine splintered along the years
Cemented to the pedestal and raped of my self respect
Images drought the barren emotions from abuse and neglect
Can you not see I will not be claimed by likes of you?
My heart is broken but held together by another’s fingertips
I am not a doll that can be sculpted to your fantasy
My flesh is not your palate to touch and taste then throw away
My eyes cannot be shattered and blocked from the truth
You cannot get deep inside me without vengeance unearthed
I grow weary of being used as your whore
And you shall never see me breaking
My smile will hide the aching
..I’ve lost myself.

Good job on showing, guys!

Battle Of The Week.

Burden Vs Born To Kill.


Burden;

Juno.
[Welcome to Earth]



The slight wife of Zeus and quite enthused
About leaving forever in a sealing endeavor,
...& yet she might just lose.
Her pride is bruised, steel feelings will sever
Her ties with dude. Hence crazy nights
Spent in offence with hazy fights, his bright might is
Amazing, right? His wishes hold meaning now!
It's not do the dishes - it's bitch, clean the clouds.
So loud you can FEEL his sound. He stunk the place
With his never aging yet better raging sunken face,
& danced with drunk distaste around her funky waist he's vexed within,
...She can take a kick and fake it slick,
But can YOU imagine having sex with him?!
He's fucking HUGE, so with a duking ruse.
...She's left with sin.
For the first time: no more angel meets could she fake it sweet?
They're the worst kind with a cursed mind.
....Mistaken freaks, squawking in absurd chimes!
So she packed her wings and headed to where the action swings;
She lacked some things - like pride, but thats long left
At night cried, her songs kept inside her strong chest.
Herc's gone, 'cept..choked, damn - his old man
Hasn't his great brain, he's a fake trained by fellow brutes,
They sell no routes - There's only ONE way,
And some say, the no strife gold life of a God is great,
Don't these bastards see the lasting sea of common hate,
It's often fate, but she has to flee!
You'd have to be; mortal to NOT consider that blasphemy,
A life for eternity is no life at all, so she might just fall
To crawl..on her stomach the lummox won't try to call
Her if she lands on Earth, he gave THAT planet a random berth,
Hasn't paid a visit or strayed to give it,
...A thought since it's out-of-tandem birth.
So with the glory land making a gory stand to force her return,
It just gives source to her turn, a few problems..at first wealth
She closes her hands and opens her plans,
...& prays to the ONLY God she can trust - herself.
Her luck is dealt - despite fashion, a nice ration
It's weird having clouds OVERHEAD, she's even smoldered - bled!
For the first time with nice cash &..
As she's overjoyed her lights passioned with golden pride
....To enjoy a life where death MIGHT happen!

Vs

Born To Kill - Also verse of the week.

Death Regime…

Franco the Fearless leaves em all earless, and deader than fuck...
He’s stealth with a blade and won’t be swayed no matter how often he’s struck.
Chin of granite, hardest on the planet...damnnit, you’ll break your hand...
Deliver a punch…he’ll still eat your lunch...and consider your flavor bland.
Cuz he’s seen you before, you’re all the same...might as well be sheep...
No need for your name, you’re just a souvenir of the game, “Clean and Sweep”.
Martin Ingram tends to bring em, screaming and bleeding the worst...
They’re never dead, though it lies ahead...after he’s done giving hurt.
Slightly insane, he’s bright with the pain...illuminated from the radiant glow...
Of his trusty blowtorch as he lays the scorch to flesh he was just bestowed.
Fond of females...he loves the ladies...opportunistic with romance...
On every excursion there’s always a version that’s accepting of his advance.
Without knowing what he’ll be showing...the sick and sadistic develops...
They succumb...then after he cums...the yearn to burn envelops.
Rachel Marie so pretty, petite...yet lithe, lean, and lethal...
Been a Marine since age 18, has no problem killing people.
Evil eclipses the good in her eyes; vengeance is mine sayeth the shrew...
Who won’t be tamed, just places blame on the men she wants to screw.
They’re through if she gets hot...can’t stop the anger when aroused...
Feels disgusting when they’re touching, penetration can’t be allowed.
At the point of entry, she becomes a sentry...violent hysterics ensue...
Viciously guarded, passions departed...then she’s choking out a dude.
Kyle the Cleaner couldn’t be meaner...and he’s only 14 years old...
An adopted orphan whose own endorphins eat away at his brain like mold.
Cunning precision with every mission, not a detail left behind...
He holds the weight of the other’s mistakes despite his juvenile mind.
Every assignment is his mind’s set; he’s the leader of this Regime...
Who protect each another from any trouble, and do so as a team.

Walter Reed Hospital, Psychiatric Ward...

He sits there strapped, wrapped in wraps that don't heal, but hasten...
At the end of his journey, tied to a gurney; Marine Private, Kyle Jason.
Under arrest, undergoing tests...hypnotism with chemical aides...
Blood’s been spilling; he’s been killing...civilians and his own brigade.
Seems a tragedy happened, see...before he even reached 15...
Kyle couldn’t escape his uncle’s rape in the basement on Halloween.
His fragile mind shattered, esteem left in tatters...for on that very day...
He realized through struggle and cries...that he leaned toward being gay.
In a weird way he liked it, but tried to hide it...suppression in effect...
So his mind splintered into Rachel to justify wanting male sex.
He joined the Marines upon turning 18, tried hard to man up...
But in each and every barrack he found a soldier willing to fuck.
Don’t ask, don’t tell...there’re plenty of gays that keep shit quiet...
So Martin arrived just in time to feed his hetero diet.
On missions, on patrols...he’d find civilian women, young and old...
Rape became commonplace when this new personality took hold.
And the rapes always ended in murder, torture for inner pain felt...
That’s why Franco would appear, to insure he’d persevere in that Hell.
He’d kill em all, it didn’t matter...man, woman, faggit, or child...
Blood splattered as ears were gathered and a body count compiled.
Then they’d turn to Kyle...who’d smile at all their actions...
Then thank them for helping him with his perverse attractions.
One killed men cuz they weren’t women...the other; women cuz they weren’t men.
The third one killed anyone, and the fourth would send them out again.
Now they’re all apprehended, a splendid display of personalities split...
But the Military must be defended, so they avoid a media blitz.
Quietly cover this up, sweep it under rugs and silence the team...
By ordering up a firing squad for this one man Death Regime.

Nominated for SS HOF.

Top 5 Power Writers;

Awaiting pm - Nathics, where are you?

[Orc]

Interview with Thomas/Alluminati;

1) Well, you've been around the topical scene, man, but do you believe you can win SS?

Erm, not right now, i think ive got a healthy record at the minute, im putting the practise in having 3-4 warm up battles a week but i can still get better, im no where near peaking and this season i'll be ecstatic at making the playoffs if i can do so, and then if i lose ...well who gives a fuck cause thats one goal down.


2) Cool cool, & who do you think is THE main threat in this seasons SS?

Well obviously on current form its between Engivale and Born To Kill.


3) Who would you consider the 'dark horse' of this season, and why?

Well i'll tell you now, i know i just said that above ^ about Engivale and Born, however if this guy wants to win this thing and stays in dropping everyweek as we all know he can then there is a guy sat on 0-1 right now who can win this hands down...Tim.


4) Would you comment on anyone being egotistical in the league, if so, with whom do you think this is the case?

Erm, thats actually a diifuclt question because i dont think there is anyone to be honest, everybody knows how good they are and everybody knows how good everyone else is...so i would have to say to me no there is isnt just yet.

5) Do you think the SS mods are doing there job correctly?

Yeah, everything seems cool at the minute cause if something went wrong you know id be the first one to say something to you...paddy boy j/p man.

6) You recently came back to SS, & RB in general, Is there any reason for this? Anything that inspires you to write?

Well my internet fucked up and then when i came back i didnt plan on writing or doing anything at all until i saw quite a few heads who have been inducted into legends while i was away and i thought, shit i want that...maybe if i work hard enough i can get there...so i started in a league on another site and managed to win it with 3 other dope heads in it and one month later im doing really well in SS so im happy. I have to Legendz and Engivale inspire me more than anyone topical and poetry wise, but the biggest role model i think this site has and someone i look upto is Chris Black, he signed out last season with a record of 12-0 or something and could have took the title easily...he can topical, poetry, text if he wants and has given re-birth to the story telling part of Rb single handed.


7) What do you think could make this season different from the others in the past?

Having someone totally random to the winners list like last season...because at the beginning of the season i bet nobody expected Bradon to win it, im not saying hes a bad writer hell he's great but with the heads that were there i didnt see it, so something like that again would be good.

8) Now, I'll throw some names at you and you tell me your opinion on them:

bobberic.,

I didnt know the guy actually topical battled or wrote anything at all, so when i saw his name i was like hmm... but ive been very impressed with his writtens.

Cry.,

Well what can i say...he seems to be able to do everything...his text skills are another subject but his topical skills have improved amazing ly since before i left the site, props man.

Mariah,

Like i said to her the other day, she wasnt around when i started on the net she was like 11 lol...but before i left came this little sweet thing named Mariah who wanted to try her hand in stuff, and i come back from a long absence and she winning tons of battles in leagues, shes modding forums and she has a 15-0 battle record. Amazing.

Burden.,

Ah my irish friend, ive known him a while, we have the same heritage and you can all know this now i brought the fucka to Rb from another site to join my crew back whenever it was. He had skills but his topical pubity has gone through the roof and he is growing into what could be a giant in this league.

Tim,

Well i have to say, topical battling wise, Tim has been my favourite for 2 years, i love seeing what he drops and reading what he has to say, his pieces are usually flawless and he incorporates so many things into his pieces its unreal. Great writer...deserves legends.


(9) Over the 16 weeks, what do you think your record will be at the end??

Well it will be a 15 week season for me as im away next week and wont be battling til the following week, but i fancy my record to be around the 9-6, 10-5, 11-4 area cause people generally begin to progress towards the end with the constent writing.

(10)Well, thanks for the honest answers man, and thanks for taking the time to answer the questions. Anything left that you'd like to say, anything at all?

I hope this is a great season, i hope everyone gets what they want out of it...and Goodluck to all heads.

[Orc]

Burd's predictions;


Tim (0-1) Vs Standard Issue (0-0) - Damn, close. Tim is bizzack! I think his experience will get him the W here. But SI has done well topically on RM in the past, so it's all about rustiness, if he's not rusty..it'll be crazy close.

Beyonic (0-2) Vs ARMADA (0-0) - Beyond's a force topically, not much I can say about ARM, haven't seen anything from him. He could surprise me!

Burden. (2-1) Vs N. James (3-1) (CONTENDERS) - G'luck man, drop your best!

Born To Kill (3-0) Vs Engivale (3-0) (CHAMP MATCH) - Lol wow, HOF battle before it happens. I think Eng could take it if he works on developing his story but..if BTK works on his flow he could take it - so, toss up.

boberric (2-1) Vs Mariah (2-1) - Oh shit, another dope match here. I think Mariah will drop what she needs to to take out bob, she can drop with dope multies when needed, so she'll do that to overpower bob's flow.

White-Winter (1-2) Vs Meters (0-0) - WW is getting better, but Meters is experienced, he'll get the win here if he shows - which is always doubtful, lol.


Brandon Cee. (2-1) Vs The Metallica (2-1) - Hmm, toughie, BC has more experience though, and his schemes are better, so I'll go BC, but it really could go either way.

HighEngineChief (2-1) Vs Alluminati (3-0) - Damn, another close one. HEC has a more polished style, but if he underestimates Thomas, he'll lose.


ITawAPuddyKat (1-2) Vs Nathics (1-2) - She's got more experience and has a firme grip on her own personal style.

Lampejo (2-0) Vs Cry. (2-1) - By a large margin, imo.

Daz (2-1) Vs Baron P Mortuus (0-2) - Both verses are up, so I won't predict.

Scientific (0-1) Vs Slim D. (0-0) - Mac knows what he's doing, so he'll take this.

[Orc]

Outro


That's all for this week folks, hope you enjoyed! And if Nathics doesn't pull through, it'd be great if someone else could write the Power Ranks! Peace.

[Engivale]

My only suggestion would be to come up with some better questions for your interviews. They're pretty stale...

But you're not a journalist, or whatever, and you spend ur time on this and I appreciate that... I know the work that goes into mag writing... I just think you need to change up your interview question style, man, ask some different shit, let it be more of a conversational type thing than a few scripted questions, the interview section is usually so interesting but right now its just not as good as it could be.

[Orc]

You can interview someone next week then, lol.

[Engivale]

don't take it the wrong way, man, I'm just saying, you've asked the same questions to different ppl in three mags, u gotta switch that up.

But maybe I could help u out with interviews for the mag, it would take a little of the pressure off u for the mag writing and I enjoy doing it anyways... that might work out fine for both of us.

So, yea, I'll start doing the interview for ya. If u want.

[Mariah]

I apologize and accept your apology. Nice mag Burd.

[Beyond]

Great mag, mate.
