Summer Battles?

K3VIN	Date: June 16, 2007 @ 5:21 PM Let's do another battle that everyone will remember on a positive note!
MickeyBreezy	Date: June 16, 2007 @ 11:37 PM i think the battle is officially played out on dmusic. its sad, but everyone just gets worse and more unorganized so i say lets just let it die.
leedsquietman	Date: June 17, 2007 @ 12:27 AM I know how you feel Mickey but K3 has organized it quite well in the past, he was not responsible for that last debacle, heck, he was one of the few people who tried to keep the last one alive too... maybe give it a chance?
K3VIN	Date: June 17, 2007 @ 3:23 AM yea last battles didn't go over so well, halloweens before that went ok.. summer went pretty nice... the february i did last time was nice especially cause their was literally like 2 no shows and their were good reasons for em.
K3VIN	Date: June 17, 2007 @ 3:24 AM not to mention its officially the summer now.. and all the nerd kids dont gotta study for school anymore which means more rappin lol!
DigitalEntropy	Date: June 18, 2007 @ 2:20 AM this is true kev
officernarc	Date: June 18, 2007 @ 5:45 PM i'm bad like baywatch nights any you i fights i put out your lights i got you in my sights to fight you is my right when i fight, i'm right yo' mama's asshole isn't tight so don't fight back, i bite i'm on you like a blight, i poorly wash your whites, i beat you rollin' dice, my e-greetings aren't nice, i overcook your rice, i fill your house with mice and i give your girl lice
MickeyBreezy	Date: June 19, 2007 @ 4:21 PM well, the organization and the person who hosts is one thing, and depending who the host is that can go well. the problem lately tho is the lack of interest participant-wise, and then when we do get participants, its the same sucky people over and over (we know who i mean) i dunno, give it a try see if there's interest, and take it from there.
K3VIN	Date: June 19, 2007 @ 5:04 PM yea K3's whack I think diz was partly succesful due to his offering of magnificent prizes .
bigfootofget...	Date: June 20, 2007 @ 2:39 AM From what I can see though, there's only lik 5-6 main hip-hop artists that are actually really active on here..
DigitalEntropy	Date: June 20, 2007 @ 2:21 PM im not really hiphop but id come back to do a battle
tracy	Date: June 20, 2007 @ 4:42 PM i say go for it. this battle needs to be more organized, with start dates and clear rules. if it's planned out well, and people work at promoting it off-site (i.e. by posting on messageboards, myspace, etc.) there's no reason why it can't be a great battle---
DeadraveN	Date: June 22, 2007 @ 9:29 AM anybody remember when Intergalacticwarhero joined a rap battle..? hehe that was some funny shit. more non-rappers should sign up just for shits and giggles...
bigfootofget...	Date: June 22, 2007 @ 11:15 AM How about we just get like 8 rappers and 8 non-rappers? See what happens!
DigitalEntropy	Date: June 22, 2007 @ 5:05 PM haha that sounds pretty fun
bigfootofget...	Date: June 23, 2007 @ 3:08 AM And then draw them into battles so that every first round battle is rapper vs. non-rapper
Arcane	Date: June 23, 2007 @ 9:39 PM I will eat anyones face for a couple rounds... Then drop out, as usual, if you'd like.
Arcane	Date: June 23, 2007 @ 9:49 PM P.S. K3v "I think diz was partly succesful due to his offering of magnificent prizes" Not to mention he was a sexy fukin beast! That helped too. Also, there was nothing "partial" about the success of the summer battles. They were fully successful, not to mention the best tournaments that have ever taken place at this site. All the tourney's were fully organized, planned out and had strict guidelines which to abide by, all made it to the final round, all had declared winners, and all winners received their prizes. Come on K3v, get'er done and step your game up this year. I know they're big shoes to fill... but you can do it. plans on K3v hosting battles but not letting me participate due to this post
K3VIN	Date: June 24, 2007 @ 2:59 PM i meant part of the reason they were successful not they were patrially successful
hantu	Date: June 24, 2007 @ 3:40 PM I'd like to suggest having a beat assigned to each round, so everyone will use the same beat. This will keep listener's minds on the actual rap rather than teh production, because the rap is what it's about right? Negative side to this is it may get a tad tiresome for the listeners. What about live battles through Skype? Might be a bit of a long shot, but it would make things a bit more interesting as it could be like a pinpong battle (if you like), taking turns a few lines at a time -- i don't know what this is called. People will need decent connections and some rules will really be needed here to prevent rappers screaming down their mics at the same time. I just think something should be done to give the battle a bit of edge, a wow factor, make people go "oooo". Then you can go round the web advertising it as something different, more likely to get more people in, rappers as well as listeners. But i guess doing this could be digging a deeper hole to fall into.
bigfootofget...	Date: June 24, 2007 @ 4:47 PM How about a doubles battles? Instead of 1 on 1, 2 on 2? Just a thought...
MickeyBreezy	Date: June 24, 2007 @ 10:40 PM tag team would be cool, but that would mean you would have to have twice as many participants, which isnt likely, also i'd rather not rely on somebody else to not get shit done you know.
K3VIN	Date: June 24, 2007 @ 11:19 PM thats what i was thinkin^^
aflunky	Date: June 25, 2007 @ 11:51 AM Rapper VS Non Rapper, hmmm? I Challenge Saint For Sexiest man on DM prize!
bigfootofget...	Date: June 25, 2007 @ 12:12 PM In that case... I challenge Sham for the biggest cuntshovel prize.
Amp	Date: June 26, 2007 @ 1:47 PM
DigitalEntropy	Date: July 2, 2007 @ 9:14 PM so is this gonna go down?
K3VIN	Date: July 3, 2007 @ 8:10 PM unfortunatly I am gonna be unable to commit to hosting.. so someone else will have to step up to the plate.
TDUBB	Date: July 25, 2007 @ 11:17 PM Let's see how this one plays out. i cant host cause Im still very busy but good luck to all the participate
leedsquietman	Date: July 25, 2007 @ 11:41 PM looks like no one is interested. for hip hop and rap at Dmusic... even though I don't like much of the music in this genre, a sad day
aflunky	Date: July 26, 2007 @ 12:13 AM
muckfly	Date: July 26, 2007 @ 5:20 PM Facebook Battle of the Bands Contest: http://apps.facebook.com/bandcontest/
Dizeazed	Date: August 9, 2007 @ 7:22 PM indeed.
ChillinBuzz	Date: August 10, 2007 @ 8:13 AM pity really. i rather enjoyed the verbal terrorism that went on. go for Halloween again or something, relax the rules too concerning people's minimum activity but get an admin to help moderate - a couple of rappers entered with 2 different names last time, bit sad really. maybe spread the word out on some other forums?
MickeyBreezy	Date: August 10, 2007 @ 2:18 PM i would agree that hip hop is :rip: on DM, i've been campaigning to bring it back, but there is no interest, it does suck, it was way more fun when there were lots of us on heee, but whatever, i guess i'll carry the torch forever.
K3VIN	Date: August 10, 2007 @ 3:59 PM the problem is chillinbuzz.. like here, you aren't supposed to advertise other sites. And I'm about to get more active again when my lifestyle slows down a bit
ChillinBuzz	Date: August 10, 2007 @ 8:53 PM i'm guessing other forums allow you to have signatures, you could put it in there if they have it. despite the fact we're not supposed to advertise, it still goes on... it's illegal to punch some mofo on the nose but you'd still do it. if you were serious about doing it, i am willing to bet certain exceptions could be arranged although that would be entirely at the discretion of the powers that be... if you got the brains to write a song, i'm sure there's a few ideas up top too, just lay them out and see what the top brass have to say.
