Lol, what do they say?.
There's an alleged BO5 card leak on OTBVA and it looks god fucking awful. I only like one, maybe two matches outside of the two headliners.
Either T-Top/Xcel/Brizz. I think Top probably the most impressive with his UFF run and the JJDD battle.catching up on all shit.
t top yall rookie of the year 2014
They set you up to catch these bars, so you're the fall guyLol, what do they say?
Watching some Xcel battles, this was posted a few days ago:

Yeah, this is crazy. The interview KG did yesterday was full of gems, did a cliffsnotes:Apparently people from BOTB aren't getting paid Teddy Grizzle went ghost.
It just comes down to sustainability. Few league owners/investors understand that, and they're also the same small group of people that realize a lot of these big pay days and elevated pay checks have only been possible due to sponsors that really don't get much out of it. Whether it be the EBL guy, Diddy during SM2, etc.This whole shit is mad sus because Lush had issues before this. He said on AngryFan that this event would go off without incident. This tells us a few things moving forward:
This is the final straw for industry artists stepping into the ring because the market can't afford to pay them and the rest of the people on the card. This business either needs to go corporate or drop a level to focus on getting things right.
Leagues need a new revenue stream so this doesn't happen.
KOTD has to do damage control and find a way to reinvigorate their brand. No more licensing KOTD for anything. If it happens make sure everything is up to KOTD standards.
Battlers must research these leagues before signing a contract or agreeing to battle. At least they know the likelihood of getting fucked over.

How is it the fault of Lush or Organik? Teddy Grizzle was more in control of this even than anyone else. Yea its under the KOTD brand but its clear to see a lot of these issues are from Grizzle being a dumbass more than anything.
Ace Jab Bell vs Carter Deems https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJ0syIcs9cg
Carter Deems is the GOAT
When he said "I talk to girls a lot, they usually say this is not a date" I erupted in laughter holy shitI'm watching another battle of his now. Holy shit, this dude is funny and entertaining. I don't think there are too many people I can actually say that about.
This battle had me dying

Repeating what I said in the chat room here but you can tell the (prospect of) $10k as well as the scuffle was affecting both of them, but Hitman moreso. Shotty was more thorough throughout, I give it to him 2-1, giving Hitman the 2nd. There was way too much fuckery between the chokes and the stupidly short time limits for me to judge it accurately but I just get the feel that Shotty was more thorough.
They both came sort of light, but at the same time it wasn't really as bad as a T-Rex vs. Cortez.
I don't get why KOTD books 5 fucking minute championship titles but then goes 2:30 for something like this. Severe disadvantage for rappers that rap slower. 3 minutes should always be the standard IMO, best compromise for both storytelling and some of the straighter shooters. I respect Shotty for enforcing the time limit they agreed upon though, but at the end of the day the battle just fell short of expectations. Missed Hollohan vs. T-Rex but I would say Shuffle-T had both the best performance and battle otherwise today.
Watching it again now, I think the first is debatable now too. Shotty rapped for so much longer than Hitman, like they counted all of Hitman's crowd reaction but not Shotty's. I'd think I'd only give the 3rd clearly to Shotty.I agree about the 3mins. I heard Rex and Hollohan was trash. That Shuffle-T and Kid Twist battle had some entertaining moments, I felt like it was dragging though. Ars and DNA completely shit the bed and I am done giving them both the benefit of the doubt at this point.

Hitman had a better second round than I originally thought.
recommend me the best Ogmios performances, going through some of the recent ones on my backlog now.
Thanks.Oh sorry haven't checked the thread for a while, you should really watch almost all his battles, I don't think he ever lost, maybe against Bamalam but I only checked it out once since it's one of his worst. Also don't watch the 2vs2 he did.
You should just start with his tryout which is three one minute rounds, he absolutely kills the other guy, that potato stuff is goat.
His two best performances in my opinion are against Mos Prob and Cee Major, then Lego or Matter. You should also watch the Nils M Skills, QP, Oshea, Real Deal, Aukes, Youthoracle, Adam The Rapper and Eek battles.
He has a ridiculous amount of quotables against Mos and absolutely bodies him in my opinon. Seriously it's a character assassination.
big metal buzzer, class hamster,all the article stuff is amazing, demo songs of casio keyboards, formaldehyde preserved corpse of a shark, gave up on the comedian... HNNNHG, surreal joke... you at peak performance, mos def.. two can and a metronome, hiding your hatred within jokes like a minstrel show* HNNNG, the mos scheme ending round two, enabling us to chip and pin, the ghost of..., eurgh david attenborough and birds then goes into that RIDICULOUS "colonist scheme" how mos prob is just a colonist, backtracking to that part earlier that rap is just a joke to mos prob, around here your BA don't fly.
"you're not an anthropologist, you're a bank quote apologist, for daddy and his politics, stepping on the scene with the attitude of a colonist, but I'm Crazy Horse, bringing your apocalypse, tracing the course of coporatives, arrows that arrow through top and bottom lips and pin your tongue to your esophagus" THAT IS PURE FUCKING FIRE HNGGG
And the best stuff against Cee Major:
look like a christian rapper, run for your mosque stuff, don't mecca me do it, bought gta 5 just to play tennis, top comment... funny looking brother, undercover EDL stuff, virgins in the sky, sex to night she lied, christian marcus/markers in her palm like stigmata HNGGGG, joined a website instead of joining a religion, going out on a limb and getting bodied by your own ignorance HNGGGGGG, the percetage stuff,
A lot of people complain about his delivery, but it suits his style perfectly and you will notice that it gives him amazing crowd control. And he can rap, this song is really good, check it out. Also check out The Ogmios Show. Ok gonna stop fanboying now lol.

Bishop Brigante beat Arsonal, allegedly and ill Mac 3-0'd DNA. These dudes are falling off by taking too many battles. It's so bad Angry Fan is begging them (DNA and T-Rex) to step it up.
KOTD: DNA Vs. Illmaculate [Bootleg]
"You trash homie I weave tapestries and stitch threads/ masterpieces, vignettes/ You Just connect fours... this is strategy to win chess!!!" - Illmac
GET THOSE FOUR BAR SETUPS THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!! DNA MEETS GOD LIKE ENOCH!!!
3-0 you're done. 3-0 you're terrible. I love how obvious the hate is at the end of illmacs third.
