Hahahaha..
Nice battle U3 and Ibime

1. Too many irrelevant posts and arguments. . . . Shouldn't be this way. Mikuz, do something please!

2. Mikuz shouldn't be allowed to host his own battle, it is just not right! Someone should offer to create the thread and post the verses.

Nice battle fam

Nice battle from both sides

Mikuz, please hide all the irrelevant posts especially on that first page. U3's verses should be following Ibime's verses for the benefit of the outsiders reading this thread.

then, hide all the rubbish posts on this page where some cats were dissing each other. take this ish more seriously & don't reduce it to ojuelegba talent hunt.

these niggaz put a lot of their time penning these lyrics. they deserve some respect from everyone & their battle thread shouldn't be ridden with idiotic rants of some frustrated dingbats!!!

Thread is clean. Malmalc please repost your verdict make I collate the results and announce the winner sharp sharp!

Erm . . . Here's the next battle. You can can bet your bottom dollar that this one's more entertaining.

https://www.nairaland.com/1534665/king-tournament-first-round-mikuz

First all, the rules says 24 lines, no?
Now be it FB format or NL format there's no wat U3 lines are anythin short of 28lines.
If i add the gamut of ref. it'll be pushing over 40lines!!!!!

2: E'rone know i phuckin hate parenthesis, or footnotes explaining ur wordies!! sheeet gets on me nerves, very unprofessional!!


Good battle tho, but not highly thrilled about it.
The few U3 lines sm1 posted got my expectation so high that his bars in this match didn't match up.
But the dude døpe tho!
Ibi and I had a long run tussle n rivalry here so i've seen the best of him,
though he' remain technically sound, he aint as aggressive in this battle., but he was as clinical as ever.
Big ups guyz!

That said:, here's ma vote

Opener: U3

Rhymes: Tie
Note to the person complainin bout Ibime's AXE/ACTs line; act /AKT/ axe /AKS/. .but if it's actS. .
u can easily slant it to rhyme with axe in pronunciation.

Similes/ Metaphor: Ibime

Punchlines: Ibime
U3 had some good PLs,they were enjoyable, like punching with a teddy bear gloves. So many nice line, but they didn't pack a punch.
Ibime on the other hand though wasn't gloves off, hid some rocks under his pad.

Personals: Ibime.
U3 came pretty close but these barz swayed it for Ibime "before I 'turn Lites down low'. . . like Bob Marley and Lauryn!!!/"

"Numero Uno Femcees crushed your stúpid gimmicks/ with brutish lyrics/
So when you say "No girls allowed". . . I had to check twice. . . cos X-Lites’ . . . . got nothing but pússies in it!!/"

He took the fight to U3's crew, and nothin breaks a leader of a crew more than dismantling his team.

Flow: Ibime

Wordplay: Tie

Closer: U3

MVGT: IBIME

where are the other judges?

mykali is yet to vote & so are many others. once ibime has more than 4 votes then he's won this tie anyways. mykali can't be trusted to be punctual.

@ mikuz - thanks for cleaning up the thread. for the next battle, lock up the thread while you edit filtered words & stuff so people won't get in your way.

any trouble maker should get 2 hours ban.

Mykali is the only judge yet to drop his verdict. Meanwhile a big thanks to the judges who have already passed theirs. Una too much.

Some emcees that get knocked out should get opportunity to judge so far they are mature. If I get knocked out, I wouldn't mind being a judge.

Also maybe Mikuz should outsource the draw to one of the judges.

Boss DBR, hailings. Personally, I don't understand why we'll be talking about slanting words/wordsplay in a text battle. if its an audio battle, it goes, for a text battle, I don't quite agree. But its all good though

DBR needs lessons about text-battling. he still doesn't know it's different from an audio battle where words can be slanted & stuff. text-battling is pre-written(not freestyling) & battlers had all the time to smoothen their writtens.....ibime should be doing better than forcing rhymes......

i disagree ibime was better than U3 in the rhyme category.

Even judges sef. Later una go say make I come clean thread. Abeg make una chill for Mykali first, in order not to influence his verdict.

mykali is a goat.....
i dunno why you included him amongst the judges. he's never punctual, he's too unserious. there are more competent veterans that can replace him. chamotex, chic2pimp, etc

LMAO!! I've had this argument too many time.
Ps riddle me this, When u read TEXT,do you not hear "sounds" in your head?
In fact, whether you are reading the words or hearing them,
the process of identifying whether a word rhymes with another is through sound cognition.
Mostly the final judgement is not by textual analysis in nature but by its auditory experience.
Great writers

there's a difference between audio & text battles. a good writer knows to avoid such words that rhymes when pronounced but looks different when written down. ibime shouldn't be getting caught in such nursery stuff.

even ibime himself should slap you for voting parity in the rhyme department. U3 outrhymed ibime with polysyllabic schemes. yes, they had fillers but that's what you get when you lay emphasis on syllabic rhyming.

this is why ibime had more punchlines cos ibime concentrated more on punchlines & haymakers. there's no way you should give punches to ibime & then tie them in rhymes. that decision is fraudulent. ibime got the punches & U3 decisively got the rhymes.

Mikuz, klean up these rants abeggi

Votes closed :
