Legendary Chat

this is by far the best congratulations post i have ever witnessed in my entire life of witnessing congratulations posts

It's kinda seizure-inducing if ya ask me.


















But I like it that way.

oh yes you do

And for the record, with regards to poetry I agree with Neruda. When I said the pieces in there shouldn't be removed because they were indicative of Legendary at their time it wasn't arguing that poetry isn't timeless. It is. But those pieces are what was legendary then and are indicative of what was deemed the best at the time. In five years from now if another crop of poets blows the current inducted pieces out of the water... should we remove those as well? I don't think so. It's less a question of poetry evolving and more a question of the board evolving.

Word @ king... I'll get the nom's up in s.a.p and lll

first order of business, i'm going to be asking other mods to create sticky threads for certain legends noms in their respected areas. for example, an OM legends nomination will be posted in OM and SS. a text battle will be posted in LLL and FL, and so on.

hopefully that will speed up voting a little bit.

*applauds*

beat me to it

Ima nigga.. I need my fix of chicken

i also wanted to see what you guys thought about restricting voting to members who have at least one medal in the area of the nomination. excluding only the 25+ medal (50+ would be cool) for text.

it wouldn't apply to the noms already open, and we would have to lower the amount of Yes votes required to get in slightly. like from 13 to 11 or something.

I like the idea in theory, however.. when it comes to topicals/poetry and even audio, sometimes even people who are above average or know what they are talking about don't have any medals for their areas.

word... like I don't have any medals in audio but we all know I'm a good judge of rapping and battling...

[King]

fair enough.

Once we get a few more of these closed I'll be posting a couple more nominations.

case & point made by the old fart

sidenote:

I was searching some old dope battles and I must say... the voting back in the day was so horrendously critical it was ridiculous. like some really dope battles were getting hated on. So when battles get nominated, I request voters to NOT read the votes, and to only read the verses because alot of the votes are a buncha stuck up hatin ass sock bangers

[King]

can i get Arch's poll reopened?

[Blackflags]

Woot

[King]

@Token, when I nom goes up I can erase the link and post the verses instead. same with OMs and so on.
