Introduction
Known As Dope II and Updates
Welcome to the 6th edition of the Front Lines Magazine and the introduction to this phenomena. As we finish off from where I left off in the last mag...the Front Lines battle hack problem has been fixed...and even the Known As Dope II tournament has ended with the start of the new leagues FL has slowed down a bit, but I expect business to pick back up in upcoming months or so based one the fact that some of those kats in the leagues battle here for fun or fine tuning. Still, let's get this mag underway.....so far most of the FL Championship battles have been running smoothly and so have the rankings...heads are catching up quickly to the point limit, and I can honestly see it being raised at some point, but with the fresh attack of new faces at the top of the rankings it seems to keep competition diverse and fierce. The Topical Battles forum is also under new moderation as Mariah. took ab0ve's spot and she will be continuing the trend of weekly championships as that forum is actually picking up more and more as the weeks go by. The winner of the 64 man Known As Dope II tournament was Blue Bayou!! so if anyone bumps into him congratulate him because he climbed through quite a few people to get to the top and he finally brought it all home....the rankings have taken an interesting twist from the previous mag as they seem to have made a complete makeover as old favorites jumped back in the fold...and news ones were put on the backburner...Cry has come back to take what he feels is rightfully his....but the major question is...will he?? only time will tell!! Keep battling and keep honing your skills because the all time greats from RB came straight from FL at one time.
Text Championship Battle Reviews
Week 21: wyte boy. vs. Wyte
Two wyte's up against each other...and from what I hear wyte boy is making some noise in LLL Jr....still...he made noise in this match just by simply posting a no show verse, because his opponent was too gay to show up for the battle. This was wyte boy's 2nd title defense, and he won it.
Winner - wyte boy.
Battle Rating: 1/10
Week 22: wyte boy. vs. Everlast.
A pretty weak match from both opponents, and even the voters would agree. Still, wyte boy managed to successfully defend his title after both opponents dropped subpar. Everlast came with a pretty meh verse minus a couple of lines from the 12 he posted...honestly seeming to drop without a care even though he did drop second. And wyte boy had the more decent verse of the two, and seemed more determined to keep his title in it's third defense....with the voters noticing this...they all overwhelming voted for wyte boy in a pretty easy victory.
Winner - wyte boy.
Battle Rating: 4/10
Week 23: wyte boy. vs. Wyte
Round 2 of both of these kats...and it's wyte boy's 4th title defense...he seems to be going for an RBFL record....or so we though...turns out both of these guys no showed this one...and with that said...wyte boy was stripped of the title, and it will be up for grabs next week for the next two opponent that are in line.
Winner - Double No Show
Battle Rating: 0/10
Week 24: SmokaJoka vs. Hi, My Name
Both have slowly worked their way up to the top, and now we have an old school match that's ready to roll. Meks dropped a pretty decent verse for the most part, but seemed inconsistent with harsh punches and also seemed to totally half ass it. Smoka dropped a verse that started off good, but slowly died towards the end....with the voters realizing this. Smoka won by majority vote and was given his first RBFL title...how long can he keep the streak of wins in RBFL going before someone snatches the title from his hands??
Winner - SmokaJoka
Battle Rating: 7/10
Front Lines Power Rankings: Text
RBFL's Top Battlers
10. Mr. Q
This is a kat that I've noticed very recently battling more and more in FL...and this guy is good...don't question it...he made LLL Playoffs...and if he actually tries....he could do it again....with more consistent battling and maybe climbing up higher in the rankings I can see Mr. Q making it to the top of the power rankings in very little time.
9. Relli_Mak
The first time (I think) that Relli has hit the Power Rankings, but this is not without reason. Relli is quickly becoming one of the most overlooked battlers on RB, but he still needs some major work in some areas before he can continue his climb...still he jumped almost from the bottom to the top of the rankings after compiling all of his battles and posting them all at once....after doing so Relli is in at least the top 10 on the power rankings...let's see if he can continue that climb.
8. Bezerk.
Berzerk was at the #8 spot last month...as he is this month as well. Bezerk has been going at it slow, but he still climbs the rankings a bit more as the months go by and only time will tell if he ever makes it to the top....Bezerk drops good sometimes, but mostly needs work on consistency in his battles....other then that this guy also champs RBTB which is a big thing considering the dope heads at the top of the rankings there.
7. Grumble
Like him or not...Zelph seems to do a pretty good job of winning. Zelph usually comes pretty good in some of his drops but he's still not quite high enough in caliber to be placed in the top 5 of the power rankings yet. Zelph has a style that's similar to Gestures just without as much harshness to his punches, and if he actually gets that....then he'll surpass Gestures and most of the other battlers that contend in RBFL.
6. yung ghost
Yung has been a little inactive lately...iono if he's banned or just busy with leagues right now...but he also made alot of jumps in the RBFL rankings recently, and honestly he still needs a little work here and there but he makes for a well rounded battler. Yung usually comes with a diverse amount of punches, bu the just can't seem to set them up properly which leaves him in a shithole sometimes....still he does drop nice when he actually applies himself.
5. G£s†U®£s
Who would've thought this, right?? lol...Gestures pops up #5 on the top 10 RBFL Power Rankings because of his persistance in the last month. Gestures jumped from like 20 points to damn near the top with consistent battling, and with better work on harder more effective punches he could takeover RBFL as we know it....still right now he's at #5 from the outside looking in still trying to find a way to get that first RBFL title shot.
4. -Coop-
Coop has slowly been making his way up the rankings for the past few months and he's finally getting to the point to where he's just sitting on the outside of the championship battles...if he keeps up his pursuit he'll definitely be getting title shots. Coop usually comes with wit and mostly good punches, but the main weakness that I find in some of his verses are his use of concepts...which could be soooooo much better if he thought them out a little more...still he resides at #4 based on the fact he's been working hard to get here for quite awhile.
3. Hi, My Name
Meks has always stuck around the top of the rankings...and if he actually tries he'll climb up and over every and make it to the #1 spot in no time, but right now he seems to be stuck in a phase of RB hate...or maybe he just feels that sometimes he gets fucked out of his battles....I used to be the same way and you get that way by being accustomed to winning and by not looking over your opponents verse as an outsider instead of yourself...still...with more heart Meks can definitely over come these problems.
2. Cry
Cry has returned to the Front Lines rankings to take what he feels belongs to him, and only time will tell...right now between him and Meks...Cry seems to have more fire in his heart to win...and Meks seems to slowly be falling into a void. Cry usually comes with wit and a few personals....he just needs more work on harsher concepts and he will be a proven dope battler...till then he rests at #2.
1. SmokaJoka
Current FL Champ...and no one is taking me out....unless you try...muahahahahahaha.

SmokaJoka: you should give it a try and join ABL & LLL
Sergio...: I'm too lazy. Offer me some money that'll make it worth my effort.
SmokaJoka: we are actually in the works of implementing money prizes to winners in the leagues
Sergio...: It wouldn't be the first time. The only person to ever get paid was nimrod
Sergio...: i'm still owed some cd's and shirts
SmokaJoka: nah they much more strict about money now....they won't let anyone say that money is up for grabs unless it's in the RB paypal

Final Thoughts
Well everything has culminated to now...and you'll have to wait another month for the dopest most indepth mag you'll ever get on RB. The Front Lines seems to be doing well in the rankings department, and honestly this is the best I've seen the Power Rankings in a long time....all the leagues are running smoothly...LLL is about 4 weeks in...SS is about to start....1-2 is about 4 weeks in...and SAP is reaching it's halfway point....and the competition everywhere is really picking up. With that said, this next month in the RBFL I can only expect the same from everyone else. Everything seems to be running smoothly and honestly I usually use the Final Thoughts as a rant about something...so to continue that trend...let's talk about baseball. I'm sure many of you know that Barry Bonds is very close to breaking Hank Aaron's home run record...as a matter of fact...by the next mag he may already surpass that record. So now I'm using this time to say that I actually support Bonds beating the record...and here's why. Nobody has came forward with evidence...yeah...there is a papertrail, but NOTHING has been linked to Bonds using steroids....with that said....why would so many people hate him? Is it because baseball fans are really that hateful to steroid users?? Egh....no...no no no no....you want me to tell you why I think so many people hate him? and I'm not black...but I will say this....alot of people hated Hank Aaron when he passed Babe Ruth's home run record...why?? because he is black....and I think alot of people hate Barry Bonds record not only because it will raise the bar on the home run record....but it's also because they think that he is a CHEATING black player. There you have it...and I know the record WILL be broken...A-Rod has a good chance of that...and so does Griffery Jr. at the rate that he's going, but I mean...why would so many people make a big deal of steroids...it's not really that big of a deal...honestly I think players used to cheat worse back then...then they do now....catchers used to put sandpaper in their gloves to rough up the ball....pitchers used to grease the ball or use pine sap to make the ball tacky...they even used to grow their nails so they could take out the stitching on the ball. Not only that...but let's be real....when Babe Ruth hit all those home runs...ballparks were much MUCH smaller than they are now....as a matter of fact...on average..no joke...if ball parks were the size back then they are now....Barry Bonds would be approaching 1000 home runs....and who knows...Hank Aaron could've had a corked bat and just got lucky that it never broke....that's enough from me...see you next month ladies and gentlemen.
cool shit
Nice..you aint ever gunna put me in power rankings eh lol
-Elast
cool mag
wouldnt say FL is slow its just the voting..I voted on a ton of battles but none of those guys hit up the links i provided...should implement a rule on that I guess to improve voting
ppl will vote eventually.....hopefully.
God its been so long since ive been on RB, my computer crashed like 5 months ago, and i just got a new lap top..so finally im back....im usually a topical head but i tried writing and it was like woah, i might need to warm up to writing again, and i like text cuz it always gives ya a good laugh, and i was in in LLL a bit etc... but neways i just wanna say..
smoka ur doing a great job, i went back n read some of the mags just to see what ive missed,and ur keeping this place up, and only making it better...keep up the good work, no that ur work is appreciated.
