Match Reviews
-Tim

Bounce 7-0 vs. Nib Oswald 5-2
Very awesome battles here Bounce came very original as did Nib but I just felt I connected more with Bounces verse it was more complete in my eyes
all ends were tied up nicely and that what I like see Nib did I good job put I just felt he could have completed his verse a little more and that gives bounce another win

Tim 5-2 vs. Brixton 5-2
Damn Very sad to say we both no-showed but when Brix comes back from vacation we will meet again

Spekz 4-1 vs. NiNjah Red 3-0
I have to say very very nice job by spekz I loved the way he wrapped up his verse it was very awesome to see someone thinking on that level thought he had the win for sure above average verse but wooh ninjah killed it on some other level shit and that’s what I like to see people elevating week in and week out

Elemental Soul` 3-1 vs. Glory 3-1
Glory is a monster with some of the ideas he comes up with I have to say he was very dope flow and very dope rhymes that’s what I always liked about him he came with a nice verse that over came Elementals but don’t get me wrong it was a good verse also but just a little blander

PhillyCannonz 2-0 vs .Provoked Images 4-3
Philly has some out of nowhere said he signed out he has a very high creative level as shown in his verse and that what I like to see but Provoked also came very original and creative also the votes were all tied up on this one so I made the final vote for Provoked just had the better story in my eyes

Topic 4-3 vs. Born To Kill 4-3
Rematch that I was waiting for last time I thought BTK had a sick fucking verse and lost 6-5 so I know he was looking for this one came strong as always with his dope style Topic really didn’t come this week so BTK got the win

Camarac 2-1 vs. Deviate 3-3
Deviate I felt has had the toughest opponent list this season and was tasted by the 2nd best in the league at this time and Cam showed just why he is the second best in the league with the verse just flows off my mouth when reading aloud Deviate came good but it was not good enough to beat the cam

el poeta 2-1 vs. Ben N. Cyder 2-2
Both these guys have awesome styles so I was glad to see them go at it everything about there verses were flawless in my eyes but I felt that Ben had the better story in the end good battle tho close

Twixn... 2-2 vs. Auspicious 3-4
Twixn… had a good verse that would for sure given aus a run for his money but the former SS champ signed out hope to see him again in the future

Laureate 3-4 vs. kronik-boom 1-2
Kronik came out with a very detailed verse as lyric came out with what looked like a rushed verse but it did look thought out but when you only write 10 lines you cant really get everything you need to get out

Seneka 1-2 vs. Spoken Deity 1-2
Seneka at first came in this league like an ass thought he was hot shit until he stood up to bounce and almost got kicked out of the league has grown up and came with an awesome verse sucks it was wasted on a no show

T-Square 1-2 vs. Atticus 0-0
upset battle of the week in my eyes the hungry atticus came in this league like a true champ which even kind of impressed me but t-square was not fazed coming with a above average verse which I don’t think a lot of people saw coming from him I felt atticus underestimated him and got beat for it

-=|TumTum|=- 2-4 vs. Julius Caesar 1-3
Tummy came with a dope verse looked a little rushed but could have been thought of before hand but Julius signed out before hand and didn’t show

Week 9 Predictions
-Elemental Soul

Hw Title Match Bounce 8-0 Vs. Camarac 3-1
It will be very close though.

Contenders Match Born To Kill 5-3 Vs. Provoked Images 5-3
Simply cuz i think he's more creative with ideas when he sees a topic.

Tim 5-2 Vs Nib Oswald 5-3
Close tho.

NiNjah Red 4-0 Vs Glory 4-1
He's impressed me more.

Topic 4-4 Vs Spekz 4-2
Top's nice, but i think he needs a lot more practice on rhymeschemes.

Ben N. Cyder 3-2 Vs Twixn... 3-2
I've beaten both, but i felt ben gave me a bit more of a challenge with his verse.

Laureate 3-5 Vs Seneka 2-2
Dunno much about Seneka, and Laur'll win this if he looks at the due date correctly lol.

el poeta 2-2 Vs Deviate 3-4
Dunno much about el poeta, but i know deviate's imagery skills have been ill.

kronik-boom 2-2 Vs T-Square 2-2
Close, but kronik's impressed me more... i actually don't know much about t-square.

Enemy.0-1 Vs. Soulstice –0-0
I don't think i've read enemy's shit unless it's a known guy in an alias... but soulstice's technicolor angel open mic impressed me.


Interview Of the Week
-TayTay Interviewing Ben. N Cyder

AntuanIsGod (4:01:57 PM): Hello Ben
benncyder (4:02:01 PM): Hey whats up
AntuanIsGod (4:02:09 PM): What do you think of the league so far?
benncyder (4:02:46 PM): Well, there's certainly tons of amounts of competition, plenty of heavy matches going on, I cant tell who's gonna win won week, who's gonna lose the next.
AntuanIsGod (4:02:54 PM): i agree
AntuanIsGod (4:03:05 PM): but in your opinion who do you think is the biggest competition?
benncyder (4:03:16 PM): Biggest competition eh?
benncyder (4:04:32 PM): Well, Bounce is doing great at the moment, being 7-0 going on 8 wins in a row, I think he's got the upper hand so far. But I see BTK, Brix, Nib, and others coming up big. I believe BTK is the most competition right now, because he is a very unpredictable writer.
AntuanIsGod (4:04:49 PM): yes
AntuanIsGod (4:04:57 PM): now tell me what comes to mind when i say
AntuanIsGod (4:05:00 PM): Bounce
benncyder (4:06:01 PM): Insane. He's a crazy motherfucker, what else can I say? He's very intelligient, and 50% of RB cant understand half of what he's saying, unfortunately. He goes berserk and owns topics when he gets them, no matter what the fuck it is.
AntuanIsGod (4:06:06 PM): Tim
benncyder (4:07:18 PM): Very quiet. He hasnt really been into the league as he usually is, probably because he's a busy ass man. BUT, Tim is a great competitor, he's fair, and definitly one of the greatest mods/guys I've met on the net. He came close to defying Bounce's winning streak, which is highly impossible, I say he's one of the hottest around.
benncyder (4:07:23 PM): No homo.
AntuanIsGod (4:07:43 PM): who do you think will end Bounce's winning streak if anyone
benncyder (4:08:41 PM): Born To Kill. It'll be probably the best match in the history of RB, because when they faced off in WOP 3, I dont think they were fully up to their normal writing standards. I predict BTK to win the match.
AntuanIsGod (4:08:56 PM): yeah
AntuanIsGod (4:08:59 PM): now some background
AntuanIsGod (4:09:06 PM): How long have you been into poetry?
benncyder (4:12:29 PM): Hmm, well I was just a newbie a while back, and certainly wasnt into writing poetry or topicals. I was basically in FL battling one million times a day, winning some, losing alot. So I figured, text isnt for me, let me try topical. I wrote alot after I got the hang of it, I grew into it quickly. Then I wrote a piece that got into the OM HoF, which was a great accomplishment for me, and especially being an inexperienced writer. Now that I've gotten a couple of those under me, I decided to get noticed and joined Sacred Scriptures, where I'm at today. I won my first two battles to some fabulous writers: first Nib Oswald, and then Camarac. I lost two straight times also, first to Glory, then to Elemental Soul. So alot has been going on in my writing career, I never stopped to think that I should give up.
AntuanIsGod (4:13:27 PM): who is your biggest insporation as a poet
AntuanIsGod (4:13:39 PM): what inspires you to write is a better question
benncyder (4:15:05 PM): I'd have to say...Sharp. He's a great writer, I love his sense of style, his sense of rhythm. I have many inspirations, such as Bounce, BTK, Camarac, and all of them. A lot has to do with bonding, and so far only one of those people I mentioned HAS bonded with me, crew wise. Shout out to Sharp though, love his style.
AntuanIsGod (4:15:20 PM): well thank you for your time Ben
AntuanIsGod (4:15:25 PM): any closing statements?
benncyder (4:15:30 PM): Sure.
benncyder (4:16:44 PM): All I have to say, is good luck to everyone in SS, and good luck to everyone trying to get in. May God bless you all in your matches, and hopefully there is a good turn out to the league. Great job Tim for modding so greatly, superb job to Bounce for going 8-0, hopefully you dont sign out. And uhh, Second Coming bitches.
AntuanIsGod (4:17:08 PM): thank you for your time
AntuanIsGod (4:17:13 PM): have a great day

late... but who cares :P

Ok, so i took an intro to poetry class and I'm trying things I learned there, the reason my verse was so short was because i was following this excercise where you cut your poem in half to try and see if you can make a strong statement still

^^^my brothers friends or something took a poetry class and they were able to fit two pages of meaning into, like, 8 lines..

or so they say
