Also, when Round 2 begins, are you going to delete all the Round 1 threads to clear up space and avoid having a cluttery mess? I really think you should create a subforum titled "JBB Keystyle Torunament" or something like that and put all the threads in there. People are creating threads in the general hiphop forum as well and all in all, there are 50 000 threads going around. I think it would help if we organized the tourney threads in a tourney sub-forum.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Junoon:</div><div class="quote_post">What are the seedings heading into round 2?? ^^ This, right? MrJ, you're facing a lyrical talent that's almost as sick as Umair. Talk about competition. Better step your game up </div> The other list Brian made had me and you battling. Maybe next round if I'm able to beat vcwannabe.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Umair15:</div><div class="quote_post">So you guys think I was crap?? Common it was my first time. Junoon i sucked?</div> Which is why you shouldn't be ashamed. Just keep on rhyming if you want to get better.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Chutney:</div><div class="quote_post">Yea, even if it's tougher than it should be, I'm looking forward to facing the wildcard. It's more fun when you're really challenged.</div> Ya, too bad you had to face a white guy
Umair, you weren't that bad for your first time. Just work on it and don't worry what these guys are saying.
OK apparently there are some haters here like Locke and Junoon.. Who just dont understand that it was my first time freestyling. I dont care if I sucked, it was my first time. And I think for a first timer, I did prety good against a Pro. Thanks MrJ and Swish
My Wild Card freestyle is in. Go check it out and come back here and comment. Also, compare it to what I did in Round One and let me know what parts you like/dislike. Thanks.
Just my opinion, but that was one of the best you've written so far. You had some wicked punchlines in there (I liked the Air Stale one). <div class="quote_poster">Quoting J_Ray:</div><div class="quote_post">Ya, too bad you had to face a white guy </div> You weren't that bad. I was watching our voting after our first 2 verses (before the extension), and I was afraid I'd lose for a while.
Both of you were nice... is there a limit to the lines though? <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Compared to me, your Darko, and I'm King James</div> How you gonna do Darko like that, Swish? Haha, just playing. This'll be a close battle for sure.

I had a Hoffa diss coming, too bad I couldn't bust it out

When I first started writing raps, my rhymes were horrible, and my lyrics didn't make much sense. I'd just rhyme whatever I could. Basically the key is, first of all, you get better the more you write (like anything else) and 2nd, learn how other writers write thier lines as well. For example, if you really want to get better for next tourney, study how the consensus favourites (Chutney, MrJ) write thier lines and just look what what kind of punchlines they use, etc etc. And if it was your first time freestyling, like MrJ said, why would you need to be ashamed? I don't hate on anyone dude, I just joke around and you gotta understand that. I have nothin against you.
Swish, I felt your first verse was actually stronger then your 2nd but both were pretty nice nonetheless.

Then why being so hard on me if it is my first time? Why saying my lines are crappy and all if its my first time. You sucked your first time, just like me. So would you like it if people made fun of your lines your first time? No right? Then stop being hard on me. Well if you are joking, then its all good..
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Chutney:</div><div class="quote_post">Swish turned that George Mason line around nicely. Wish it rhymed a little better though.</div> The thing is though in my first verse I said I was gonna make it past the final 4 inplying that i wouldn't be beat by Florida. So he didn't really turn it around. Replied to anyway.
Damn guys, major props to both Swish and Air Fresh. You guys are absolutely killing it in the wild card battle. It's just sad that only one can advance
