A bar is simply one line (the "bar" being the "/" sign), just like a sentence; although we've redefined it on this section as a quatrain, which is a four-line stanza. But let's leave it at the one we understand here. Just do 24 lines/ 12 quatrains.

I swear down,I was not aware till now abeg postpone am till tomao if possible.... abeg no vex

If Rexaxe posts today, you'll automatically be disqualified.

Vivian u funny die, u jus used ur sisters death to boost ur blog or what? Look let me tell u if u like post hate mssgs about biafra, we will not stop protesting. U sister was strong enough to come out and was shot by the army dat was when the protesters went and burn down the mosque and dangote trucks. U are not the ist to have lost a sister and dont open ur mouth again to post things dat wont help, because the struggle will not stop until biafra come to pass. And mind u, the NA killed ur sister not the protesters. If u want to talk about death we all have buried our love ones. Police kill people everyday, wat about the newly married couple dat d police shot the groom and ran away, wat did u say about dat. Please stop using ur sister's death to buy cheap sympathy and popularity. Grow up cus death will come to us all whether cold warm or hot it must come.

Are you sure that was truly her sister? They may come from the same community but their surnames are clearly different.

Raplinx:
ok bro. Even d newbies league sef, i wasnt tag. Anyway, mk i just hang around dey spectate.

Forget story. You would say the same thing even if you were tagged. Last time, you signed up for the audio tourney but later came back with excuse. When I created the signup thread for the KOP, I welcomed every interested person to participate. And those who signed up were tagged and grouped.

Rexaxe and Heywhizzy, I hope you guys are not trying to pull a no show?

But, 12 bars would be about 48 lines.

In rap, they say one line is equal to one bar, but most times we use two for one because some people like to split their lines with rhymes. So, at most, four lines can make one bar. However, in the Nairaland context, a bar can have as much as 6 lines, depending on their length. It's still the usual way you're used to. No let am confuse you.

llaykorn:
Hi kr0ne. I have a slight problem with what is meant when the judge said 24 lines. Should that 24 lines be understood as exactly 24 lines? Does it mean that we should write 6 quatrains?

The same as 12 bars. You can break your lines with rhymes but don't stretch.

llaykorn:
Kr0ne, please I have a question, sir. Is the judge attached to your battle the only one who decides the winner?

Nah! Majority carries the vote. But he, however, has the right to state his satisfaction/dissatisfaction in the works of the contestants, as he is the owner of the topic.

Kr0ne. . . Where the topic?

Narrate to us your experience with a girl you had a crush on while in high school; the fun, the daredevil risks you took and some silly things you had to do to get her attention and, probably, win her heart.

Creativity - 2 points

Entertainment- 2 points

Rhymes - 2 points

Flow - 1 point

Consistency on Topic - 3 points

Imagery - 2 points

24 lines/12 bars max.

GIYAZZ:
If he apologizes, he would still get banned, but this time not as lengthy as 2 months. If not, he gets a 2 month ban.

cc; Airmark

Sharrap joor!

Darkenedrebel has obviously made too many enemies for himself. I don't think anyone would be here calling for his ban if he had been in good rapport with everybody. But, notwithstanding, punishing someone for a crime he committed since last year (on Facebook) is just out of it. Moreover, if not for little beef he had with Raplinx, this issue would have remained hidden, although I'm not condoning his misdemeanour. Please, let's overlook and pardon him, if I must use the word. To err is human but to forgive is divine. Sheath your swords and save him the smearing and punishment for this once. I don't think he would ever repeat this again.

Jason21:
am i the only one here?

No, you're not. But I'm just letting you know. Have a good day.

Jason21:
[s][/s]ugly son of a dead thief ....what is thepunisher's fb moniker? all this irrelevant rants can't exonerate u from the allegation leveled against you. the more u beat around, the more u expose urself as a brainless dunce! it's what u get for bein a loudmouth......

Mr Trouble, I swear, if you get banned, you'll automatically be disqualified from the KOP tourney. I've told you; don't come back to cry hater.

Rexaxe:



My opponent is heywizzy oo

Sorry for the oversight. I've edited it.

krone....wahz our topic

Dagrin, Dagrin!! Your battle is on Saturday, next week but I'll have your topic ready by Tuesday.

Jason21:
hogwash!

The sore Barca caused you at the El-Classico is still hurting your soul, so I get where the indirect subliminal is coming from. I don dey chop your school money, no be today. Loser.

Jason21:
he's a hater.......he's never won me in topical before............so i know where the jealousy is comin from

I'm not hating, neither am I jealous. And did you say I've never won you before in a topical battle? Well, you have Nik and your other cronies to thank for that. But don't forget you've been jacking my style for ages, son.

Jason21:
stfu..beetch! i have the right to ask questions.....it's none o ya forkin business!....and ur plans to fail me like u did last year ain't gonna work.....just mind ur own, pls

One golden topical rule is "do no diss your opponent", plain and simple; but you violated it and had to be kicked out.

Jason21:
can't we have options like reyginus granted his people? just sayin......but if my opponent accepts.....it's ok by me

My friend, stop complaining! What's wrong with that topic? I thought you bragged once that you can drop a dope verse on any topic? This one from Sinizia is one of the best IMO. SMH!

This is one of the dopest battles of the year! See line, mehn!


Opener - 1 point - Tie (both openers were just straight and precise)

Rhymes - 2 points - Gray (was just better all through)

Similes/ Metaphors - 2 points - Ksslib (too many references)

Punchlines - 3 points - Tie (both did well)

Flow - 1 point - Gray (obviously)

Wordplays - 2 points - Tie (nothing wowing here. Ma jerk/majek don't rhyme, so can't play. Middle bro without the 's', etc. Gray did well with his own but it's nothing awesome)

Personals - 2 points - Gray (the Big Brother did it)

Closer - 1 point - Tie (no direct punch)

Mvgt - Grayline!

Grayline wins this for me because his punches were more direct.

007Bruce, end the battle with a tie joor.

Good stuff, Guykhena!

Darkenedrebel, the M. E in Bruce's closer are initials for Mikuzz Ezeala.

Very dope match!!!



Opener - 1 point - 007Bruce (super dope

Rhymes - 2 points - Mikuz (precision)

Similes/ Metaphors - 2 points - Tie

Punchlines - 3 points - Tie (can't separate it)

Flow - 1 point - Mikuz (yeah, Bruce stretched a lil bit)

Personals - 2 points - Tie ( )

Wordplays - 2 points - 007Bruce (that Pentagon line is so on point!)

Closer - 1 point - Tie


Mvgt - Tie!
But if there's a breaker, I'd gladly give it to 007Bruce for better build up and connectivity.

Guykhena:
14? After the first round and it comes down to 7,how will we go about it?
Or are we gonna pick one of the losing netcee to make it 8?

Yeah, after the first round we'll vote for a best loser to balance the scale. We just can't afford to waste too much time. Make we kick off jare. Please let the kickoff day be Wednesday - two matches a day. Thanks, bro.

llaykorn:


It's 15 now.

No, still 14.

Guykhena, please come. Let's kick off with the 14 we have; delay is dangerous. Can you create a thread and do the grouping, please?

jreyez:



You didn't get my question.... All is good sha.

You see my first lady?
M get Aisha. (First Lady)
M get I sha. (meaning M has I = M.I.)
M get eye sha. (this one means M has eyes for beautiful women)


Is there anything I'm missing?
