Introduction

“They said I was doomed. I progressed. They said I couldn’t. I did. They said I wouldn’t be anything. My legacy continues and extends everyday. My dream never ends until the vibrational energies that radiate from my passionate soul fades. For now, this lit history is my ethereal flame -- of vengeance.”
- Professor Frost

What’s good SS fam? It’s the man Professor Frost, delivering door by door, the 1st Mod-created magazine for Season 12 of the Sacred Scriptures League. Also, my first Mag. -blushes-
We saw the first champ emerge into the league, myself. This is my first HW title, next to my week old PC HOF accomplishment so I am quickly progressing as I spend more time on RB. This site has helped me grown as well as many others. We'll just hop into it then!

Frost's Top Ten Bars
(In no actual order)
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3d38c425.jpg

PTheBeast
So i attack with my greatest of force
I'm Louie Armstrong in his prime, my stage is a war
A drummer to my left falls yet I'm stayin' the course
I let my music run freely with the grace of a horse

Play your song little trumpet man,
For the tides are shifting
Play your song little trumpet man,
Sublime and lifting

Ridiculous
Lord we sin the more we live.
It's born within, then stored in kin.
Jealousy, greed, hatred, envy.
Felonies, fiends, racists? Many.
Rebels, disease, atheists, poverty.
The devil you see is making a mockery.

143
In the corner my son is awaken to my return, he coughs with a deathly bass
He looks up with the glee that can erase the painful reminders etched on his face

Cai
Souls lefts courted in a hindrance, left alone.. extorted and prison
Wishing death was imported for fishing, such a detour in their mission

Antihero
The meth in his veins, she detests the very game her best friend plays,
stress digressed into rage, she confessed to rape, and incest impregnate.
He drank a fifth, then sank into his sins, grabbed the thirty eight by the grip,
"hey you sick son of a bitch, that's your daughter giving birth to your kid!"

Fresh
The thunder rages under tasteless sky's while younger faces smile
In this chapter of life the pages blunder by and encumber shapeless guile
No wonder age is vile, because the previous events we see in sequence
The deviance imprints itself tediously hence why expedience is pent

The Great Father
And that is the unexpected end to the ride, rather a crusher:
Life is a ride that most will never enjoy due to broken structure

CLA919
Only to find the true nightmare will soon begin…
Like an animal he is trapped, only he will gnaw his own leg to be free
But Gladiator beware, for there are no rules here, but plenty a penalty
For in these trials suffering is optional, but the pain ---- mandatory

Day-Day
After the miseries suffered we discovered the truth,
With age comes wisdom, and with wisdom comes proof.

Diasick
Sun set over the harbor I watched the increasing tide.
That's when I saw the sparrows fly, in a seamless line.


Ricardo’s SS Recognition

This section goes out to not only @El Chapo but as a testament that the Sacred Scriptures League is one of a kind. A topical league that can spur reform & movement on RB. We have some of the most diverse & experienced members out there. And we'll only keep improving as time goes on.

Came to this section to see what is all the hype is about that this section that's about as untouched like the lowest class of the caste system...

And I came to the realization that The Great Father's statement was the truth.

Read all the other things and honestly looked like rants

And then I said ok Ricardo you can't automatically stamp this as a hall of fame if you haven't done your homework

So I looked at your history and yes

I came to the conclusion that Frost & Illuminate indeed have Hall of Fame material.

Congrats guys.

I know the staff won't accept the nominee bid because they want to keep those recognitions for themselves

But you guys have truly inspired me to keep looking forward to this section

Thank you.

Did Frost and Illuminate get the Hall of Fame?

Would be very shady if they don't get that accomplishment - FACT


Who determines whether battles are HOF material or not?

This is the type of impressions we make on the community around RB.
I've even shown some of my friends some stuff here & they are astounded.
Let's keep it up everyone.

Frost’s Week 6 Overview
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4b784163.jpg
[youtube]10yrPDf92hY[/youtube]

The Roll Call
16 Competitors; 8 Battles; 7 Completed; 2 No Shows; 1 NS Shine Battle

Champ Battle
Professor Frost(4-1) versus Illuminate(3-0)
We saw an awkward structured, creative & passionate courtroom scene verse from (4 & 1)Professor Frost go head to head with the great storyteller of emotion & flow, (3 & 0)Illuminate; whose verse detailed a tragedy of a loss of a life with the family of the character involved -- which turned out to be himself. This battle was neck & neck all the way until the deadline, at 4-4. Illuminate projected into the chat room's quiet atmosphere,

if you want to be honest we only need one more vote since we're tied 4-4 we normally go first to 5 wins

Where Professor Frost then replied with nervous brevity, a one word answer is all he could muster;

@illuminate

Yeah.

Professor Frost was shaking and sweating, but by the morning he had gained that final vote & secured a Champ battle win which gave SS a new Champion.

A recurring theme of votes for each competitor this week was the intensity of topical verse stardom that they lacked in some areas. Where the creativity of Professor Frost’s verse was reaching great heights, Illuminate’s verse fell a bit short. Where the emotional investment of Illuminate’s soared, Professor Frost’s wasn’t reaching . Where the structure that in domino effect creates flow was choppy & ambiguous for Professor Frost, Illuminate’s collared verse had maintained great fluid reading. Where the technicality for Professor Frost had excelled in some areas, Illuminate did not include his usual high level of technicals. Then the last area that decided this battle came into effect. The story. To illustrate both sides of the coin, we’ll delve into a few votes sponsored.

The Great Father Speaks!

This was truly a clash of titanic verses. This transcended "championship". It has ascended into the air of all-time greatness.

The Great Father's official vote...

Hall of Fame

I have to give my vote to Frost

Better execution on the topic, more creative, more entertaining. . .

I got illuminate taken this based on a more structured and cleaner approach. Dope battle guys, def made it a tough decision

Creativity - Frost
Imagery - illuminate
technical's - Frost
Metaphors - Frost I felt frost used more complex metaphor, and they were also more abundant
Structure - illuminate
Rhyme - Frost Frost had some sick multi's and some decent internals

I have to go with frost on this, he created a more original, enjoyable concept and he took it for a ride. Decent battle here, but frost just edged on a few more categories than illuminate.

It's rare to see a topical with a real emotional twist like Illuminate had, and I think that's what this is going to come down to, I got Illuminate taking this for having a more powerful verse

Fuck

PF
Drop was ill content wise. The way you came at the topic was definitely different. I mean you made little hues of it shine brighter that the meat of the topic which gave this undertone that pushed the envelope of the verse. Not taking account of the structure of it all because even though some of it was hard to catch the rhythm of it, the word choices felt like it was of a poetical statement by the abstractness and the misdirected representation that you had. Quotes and question in the drop further pushed that feeling. A cool feeling but not one that wasn't distracting.

Ill
Yes, emotion. it was there and I was wanting to get into it. You have a uncanny skill of storytelling because you use it to paint these pictures that are vivid as fuck. Artistry is definitely highlighted here along with a strong base of technical applications. The emotional strings were pulled but felt that some parts let go of them which didn't give me a breather to recoup but more of a push pull to find the inner source of the emotional arms in this. This needed to keep up the tension to that build up where the emotional strings snap. You had it there but once it got close I felt that the writing took a turn and let go.

I got to give this to PF

More enjoyable read : illum
Smoothest read : illum
Creativity : frost
Topic relation : tie

im trying to figure out it this is more of a landslide because of frost forcing too much into his writing, or if it as close as I think it is just due to a number things. When it comes down to that, you gotta go with whos was more enjoyable, plain and simple.

V. Ill

again. i didnt mean landside as in it wasn't a close battle i just feel frost edged it out in multiple areas to where it made my overall scoring much easier than individual areas

v frost

Vote:

Frost, for the creativity and approach, which was not the norm, for me to read atleast.

As you can see this battle was fueled with mix opinions & ultimately Professor Frost's creativity was what saved him in this battle, according to most.

Contender Match:
143(3-1) versus CLA919(3-2)
This match was fairly one-sided. 143's experience tipped in his favorite which gave him a Technical KO. Cla returned to her song format which the voters responded negatively to. Even though she shows major signs of improvement.. 143's diction, story & technicality overpowered her.

Mordycai(3-2) versus xXFresHXx(3-2)
This battle was also one-sided, Fresh brings this technical aspect of writing that's incredibly tough & solid. The topic given was the hardest of the week, author's honesty. And they handled it in abstract ways. Fresh had a lot of quotable lines in his verse, they were fluid. Cai seems to have this trend lately that shows he's rushing his verses & not putting his true heart into them. He showed up with a piece that held a lot more clarity in his verse's story to it than Fresh's but he derailed off before he even really got started. Nonetheless, his rhyme scheme in the beginning was entertaining just not enough.

Prince Vegeta(2-1) versus Skully Hendrix(2-1)
Yet another one-sided battle, Dagel just took charge & showed off his usual stuff. The SS King of Interfuge rhyming had fluid rhyming with story telling which is unique to only him in this league. No one rhymes & tells stories quite like him. Skully had a lot of potential & all he has to do is focus on his craft.

Kayge(1-0) versus Dadiator(1-1)
A controversial verse by Dadiator spurred voters in the opposite direction as Kayge repeated last week's formula of a emotionally touching & flowing verse which rivals that of Illuminate's.
Dadiator retains his short story-like structure which tells creative stories. This week was a more of a political statement than his last week verse which was the epitome of creativity. Which correlated with a double meaning involving life itself in the United States. Kayge took this easily regardless, he's proving to be the veteran that he is to everyone that is unfamiliar with him.

montauk(1-1) versus Kuhn(0-0)
Wack. No Show by Bazinga/montauk.

PTheBeast(0-0) versus Ridiculous(0-0)
Surprisingly a VERY entertaining battle. We saw Ridiculous show these advanced interfuge rhymes with multi syllabic rhymes to compensate whenever he couldn't do a full blown interfuge. If only his verse was longer & more linear with a deep plot; he would have surely gotten this battle. PTB brought out this battlefield verse which detailed a beautiful story with solid imagery & FLOW. Both showed impressive debuts. PTB won.

Zen the Dude(0-1) versus Diasick(1-3)
Wack as fuuuuck. Zen was highly anticipated the past 2 weeks.
No Show. Oh, & Diasick got banned afterwards.

Kayge's Weekly Video Review
[youtube]cfLGDmMwiJw[/youtube]

[OG Maestro]

Let us have a moment of silence for Illuminate & his loss this passing week when he had a family issue arise & he pushed through the pain to STILL deliver a heartfelt verse in our battle. Yet some people can barely post when they have nothing better to do at times. Dedication is key & it pays off in the end to a Sacred Scripture Soldier, such as this man.

Verse of The Week

[youtube]5SSMiMCOCgU[/youtube]

Blossom
by illuminate.

He wasn't much of a child, a small kid, he loved to be wild
soft touch he smiled but in fifth grade his clutch was reviled
She was new in school picked on, he gave her flack for her brace
he attacked her and chased, she turned slapped him in his face
they both want to go back to the place, it was easy then....
they came together again as one on a July day in the breezy wind
her stomach was queasy when he told her he wanted to be with her
while sitting with tea and dessert, with glee and a spur
she jumped and kissed him,he promised, he would never be leavin her
he'd never be a peeved cur, he's never spoke an aggrieved slur
they fit like a glove, though there was noone above her glow
she said lets move to a farm upstate, so our love will grow
they'll come to know harm of hate, they will be safe and sound
layin down together like tired children after playing around
in an erotic way...they tangle there bodies in a quixotic fray
Addicted like narcotic, they are lost in eachother hypnotic gaze
an exotic sway......He wouldn't share this L but her....
love was never rolled so tightly laced with giggles, under covers...
.....as they toke the smoke out of eachothers burning hearts
far from the learning start, they explore they're yearning part
The love between them grew beautifully like an artist with acumen for art
there love came together, all balled up into the shape of a human heart



The love grew within them...
...untill fully its compiled
He looked beguilded as...
...she said love grew, shes with child
She was scared to death...
....when he slowly aired his breath
and said he was so happy...
....he could share in the mess"

4 months later, he faced her cries about her ever expanding waist size
He kept telling her she's not fat, she said they were unbased lies
she would keep a furious fight, she was in pain, she had serious spite
like it was his fault, he spent various nights on the couch in a curious plight
He loved her to death and was there, day light through gray skies
She loved him too, hormonal as her weight rise, she sees him paint lies
about her being not fat, through lots of spats, he never fought back
He just smiled and brought back, A Big Mac which she gnawed at
She couldn't be happier, she has a man who loves her,a soon to be child
Though her vag will be loose for awhile, she can't wait to spoon and be wild
she misses there bodies entwined like poppies and vines
in her amazon jungle...soon she'll be able to drink coffee and wines
the fat would go away and stop showing her veins and start going away
she was fertilized like farmers sowing her plains, now come the growing pains
the next day, She laid still in bed, her underwear was filled with red
They willed ahead to the ER, an array of thoughts killed his head
Doctors rushed in to the room as the blood gushed from her womb
His mind is brushed full of doom, he waited emotional, crushed with gloom
He was pacing in the waiting room, wondering what all this would cost him
Then the Doctor said with a glower "we lost him, you're love's flower won't blossom

No Show Shine

"The body ages, the soul does not"

Imagine snapping photographs, before the tears and after laughs,
Subtract the smiles add the fear, and life is over in a flash.

61 years ago I took my brothers hand in my own,
Back when you still needed a cord to use the telephone.
Back when life was hard but people said it was simple,
Back when only cops an robbers carried a pistol.
I remember that day clearly despite the Alzheimers,
He was holding a ball bound with the same material as recliners.
After that picture he looked me in the eyes, as if to say,
He knew our lives would fly by, if we let them slip away.
We held tight to each other despite losing our mother,
Tuberculosis claimed her the same way I claim my brother.
Years after her passing we started to grow distant,
Yet remembrance is key, when you feel locked in an instant.
I took her death pretty hard as I resorted to whisky,
My brother moved on and I just hoped that he missed me.
I wish I could tell you where my father was at the time,
But we never saw him a day after he quit working the mine.
As you can tell I've been through hell since that picture was taken,
My brother, Gary, got married and my life was left vacant.
I was invited of course but my drinking habit implored,
I stay an hour later at the pub, then I returned in remorse.
I had overslept, hungover, I missed the wedding and all,
Awoke distraught in my bedding; this time I dropped the ball.
I shrugged it off and forgot about the years I had wasted,
Knowing my brother was satisfied and I could never replace it.

23 years after my brother and I had last spoken
He showed up at my door alone, crying, and broken.
His wife had passed away, tuberculosis had claimed another,
And that was the same night that I regained my brother.
We reminisced and laughed; then mourned our family lost,
Admitted my addiction and what my insanity cost.
He helped me become sober, I helped him smile again,
Slowly we both aged while revealing the child within.
We both came to the conclusion we had each other for a reason,
Born from the same instant, recreated, and learned perseverance.
After the miseries suffered we discovered the truth,
With age comes wisdom, and with wisdom comes proof.
We captured one last photo to honor the past,
And with the push of a button...
it was gone in a flash.

In the Twilight Zone w/ Ridiculous
Is he new or old?
The world may never know

Frost
Ridiculous

What's good with you 3-time champ? The hell made you come over round these parts at SS? lmao, jk. But what made you try out topicals?

What's good? I just wanted a change of pace really. Trying to show some versatility, I don't know the main reason. All I know is the activity pulled me in and I'm having fun so far. I'm still battling and doing my shit elsewhere, but writing meaningful pieces that you can look back at and even show others IRL is cool too.

I feel that man. Who do you draw inspiration from when you write these LLL/FL disses, these 1-2 punchlines & lastly when you compose verses for SSL?

Anyone have that conscious voice in your head that guides your pen or helps out? Or is this a 100% Ridiculous effort?

I've taken notes from a few favorites for sure, while also developing my own style(s) with things I've learnt from them.. and I say styles because I'm always switching mine around and playing with it. Nobody knows what I'm gonna come with, making the target on my back harder to hit. I like it that way.

Dope, what was going through your mind this week in your battle against PTheBeast? Any strategies you would like to share that you had in mind for the topic?

I wanted to go beyond the obvious/generic story choice, which would've been a normal war, etc.. I also wanted to showcase my untouchable multi abilities. I thought I did both very well and should have won. It was close battle though, and I did turn a few heads my way. Not taking anything away from P, he did good. I just don't think he thought outside the box as much as I did, nor did he hit my multies. It's all good though, I'm not really here for wins. I'm here to write, showcase and have fun doing it. Props to PtheBeast for a great battle.

How did you like last week's topic? Dope or nope?

Loved it man, definitely a cool week. I only didn't like 2 topics, and I didn't get either.. so that's good.

Lmao! Which ones though? I wonder who's the unlucky people

I believe I didn't like the one in the champ match and I didn't like the one Cai & Fresh got.

How are you feeling about this week? Think we'll see you pull your first official SS W?

Win or lose, it doesn't matter to me. I'm going to impress.. again.

That's what's up Ridic, good sportsmanship.

You have any other hobbies besides writing?

Yeah man, my woman and fitness. I take care of both.

Pussy =/= Health

Pretty much interchangeable terms lol


Tell me bro, how long have you been writing? How did life on RB begin for you?

Lol

Well, RB came up in a search I believe. I was on another site before, not for too long though. I just write a lot IRL. Probably been writing and enjoying it since the age of 10 or 11.. but that's just a guess.

What's ridiculous about you? Is it a mere classification of your writing or a deeper name beneath the surface?

Just a name, kind of a classification I guess.

I may switch back to a previous name I went by @ NC 1.0 TBH. You'll just have to wait 'n see. Lol

Ahhhhhhhh shit. This man Ridiculous is gonna end up some random legend off NC.. Any hints or sneak peeks?! Got me feeling like I'm Wendy Williams interviewing a damn actor/actress Smh.

A hint? Well at least one person knows on here, and they've done a good job keeping silent (as far as I know) but it's likely to be exposed in a battle soon. IDC though.. and I'm NOT some kind of legend, but I did do well there for a long run. I definitely went on a streak w/ the best of 'em.

That's cool asf Ridic. Can't wait to see who you end up being.

What's the difference between champing LLL, to FL to 1 - 2?
Is SS your greatest challenge on this site?

Rank each one(Including SS) from easiest to most difficult, by your personal ability with each.

Honestly it looks like SS would be the hardest. People look for different things here and have a wide variety of opinions that vary, so much that if you tend to some people, others will vote against you and vice versa. Again though, I don't care about winning and/or champing this league. I am here to write, boost my own skills and create some pieces that I can keep and be proud of.

But yeah, I got the battle thing down pat. I champed all 3 at the same time and it wasn't that hard for me.

“Son, it’s time we had a little talk”
http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/...psc096d6bc.jpg
[youtube]Nvo2bpWP-1k[/youtube]

Frost: What's up bro? How are you feeling?

Essen: All is well my man. Some garlic bread. Not looking at pictures of Adriana Lima.

k, maybe a little. Garlic bread. What's life like with you in the fast lane?

Frost: Women problems, as usual. More like slow lane, lol. I've just been focusing on preparing for my future as far as my career I'm going to chase. I'm going to have to make vast connections as I progress & introduce myself to powerful figures in my local county in order to build those connections.

Speaking of introducing...Tell everyone who you are, Essen. & share with us your history with the Sacred Scriptures League.

Essen: Hah, Can't live with them, can't live without them. I dig it. And awesome man, even one connection could set the domino effect in motion.

I've been around here for a bit but started out as a battler with a crew called 'Warlords'. Then moved to IJL because the leader, Smoka, was an old leader of WL's leader, Ruthless. Now say that 9 times fast while doing the dougie.

Anyway, there were some real talented guys over at both. Underrated, Lyric, Similie, Madman, Illmental, Bio Chemist, etc. I learned to topical a bit cause that was a natural transition for battlers at that time. Guys like Feeble, BTK, Fgee, all of Hence Forward, etc were great battlers, but also had their feet in topicals later on and were beasts.

I've been in a couple of SVs but unfortunately not consistently. The last one was at RIA which had some real good talent. Of the people here, Dagel, Kayge, Trajik, 143, Split Eight, Northern Begger, Baz, Placebo I think, yea. Then of course Cry, BC and Black for a bit. The great part about previous seasons were although they competitive, they were collaborative competitive atmospheres. The goals were to win, but the group goals were to raise the topical standard.

Sorry man, gotta get going. I'll be back around 11:30eastern. Sorry for rambling hah

Frost: Got damnnnn it. Where did we leave off? lmfao
Idek. Something about who you are? I think we got past that..

Essen: Haha, yea man, just basically who I am and a little bit of my experiences with SV. You have it or you want me to try re-sending it?

Frost: I got it bruh bruh.

Tell me man, what made you pop back up to Season 12?

Essen: My friend got a hamster and wanted to name it something catchy. He finally said he liked the name Rapbattles and I was like FAWKING YES DO IT. DO IT LIVE.

Nah, I usually pop up when I have the time and/or the itch to write. Writing was always a halcyon time for me to release emotion or map out things in my head. Parenthetically, I was working (and still kind of am) on a piece and figured I'd drop in and see what's going on. I'm glad I did, there's a good amount of talent still here.

Frost: LOL, you're a trip

Who has caught your eye in the league?

Essen: Hm, to be fair I haven't given a fair read to many. I really think Ridiculous has a very high ceiling. If he is truly new to topicals, he is quite polished. Multis and inners seem to resonate with the voters and he has (or had last week) this structure down. I'm interested to see how he'll do in this milieu.

I'll steer away from the usual suspects..Split Eight is dope, and I see that he signed in. Everyone should read his piece in OM. He encompasses great command of mechanics especially when crescendoing to a cadence. What makes him the most dangerous is his versatility in his approaches; he can portray a character as emotional or stoic but still leave the reader engaged. I believe he'll champ this league if he stays in. There are many talented writers here, but I'd go with him.


Frost: What's stopping you from bringing your talent to league ya old bastard?

Essen: I know as soon as I sign in, I'll decide to write a topical based on writing a topical..and I'll be catapulted to an infinite trance of inception.

Naw, I just don't have the consistent time. I'll be around here and there to vote and drop in the OM. If I have the time, I'm going to use it to bring back The Birth of Creation in the OM

Frost: You mind explaining what The Birth of Creation is, for readers that don’t know?

Essen: It's a program I created to encourage feeding more pieces and overall activity in the Open Mic.

Every few weeks or so, I, along with a couple of other feeders, would take about five Open Mic pieces and link them to the BoC thread. If person X wants feed on his piece, he'll have to feed one of the five linked pieces. He then provides his link in the BoC thread as proof. If he did feed it in a constructive manner, I (or the other feeders) would make sure to feed his piece within the next couple of days. Basically, if you feed the five links, you would get feedback on five pieces.

I was fortunate to get guys like Witty, Oatmeal, Black, and later Dagel to help out. I'm very, very, far from the best, but I am somewhat experienced. So are the names mentioned. A piece would be guaranteed feedback from an experienced writer. It worked the first time and I'm hoping to bring it back in the near future.

Oh and Cry too. Please add him in where I'm listing feeders. Can't forget about the homie.


Frost: That's quite productive bro. I will definitely support that.
What is a difference you noticed from last era to this current era of SS?

Any Positives? Any Negatives? Feedback is welcomed.

Essen: First off, the job you have done to propel this league to a thriving position is indescribable. In my opinion, people should acknowledge the gravity of the lack of consistency before you stepped in. Too often I think we try and square the circle without accepting the fact that a pretty good thing is present in a less than perfect situation.

This brings me to a main 'negative.' Back then, people would sign up, understanding that a 'better verse' would not always win a battle. So if there was beef, it was geared more towards a constructive, respectful debate - what you could've done differently in the last battle, who will leave a better legacy/how this season is better than last, etc.. rather than 'OH D/R VOTE, CLEARLY BECAUSE THEY'RE IN THE SAME CREW,' for example. Trolling was down for the most part and it just created a happier atmosphere. The votes were honest, but not condescending in their tone.

There are a lot of positives here, from the competitors to the willingness to adjust to different topics, to the amount of effort others like Kayge are willing to put into this league. I think you should have somewhere 'what is necessary for something to be a topical.' Not sufficient, but somethings that each topical must have. For me, I don't care if it's a story/rant, paragraph form, multi filled or not, etc. It should be a description of a topic told in some rhyming form. It would create a guideline for everyone.

As for voting, whatever creams your twinkie, but I would say vote for the piece you enjoyed more. It's fine if you factor in multis, for example, but a part of a whole is not equal to a whole. If you were judging two cakes, and one was somehow made without eggs but tasted 1000x better than the cake that had eggs, you would choose the former. if one piece did not have multis but you enjoyed more than the piece that had multis, choose the former. But honestly, there are a lot of things to be excited about in this league. I'm interested to see who will be crowned champ first. A lot to look forward to.

Antihero's Week 7 Predictions
http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6358bf48.png
[youtube]U0IaWMuOsD4[/youtube]

CHAMP MATCH: Professor Frost(5-1) vs. 一四三(4-1)

Both men are developing quickly into heavy hitters. Frost decided to experiment a little last week and if it were t for unfortunate tragedy striking illuminate, I think it might've cost him the title. 143 has an abstract style that May or may not benefit him in the SS heavyweight championship match. For me, it's a battle of styles rather than talent and whoever can get the most preferential votes first will win.

CONTENDERS MATCH: xXFreshXx(4-2) vs. Antihero(3-1)

Myself and fresh for the contenders spot. **breathes in** I already dropped, and though I wasn't a fan of the topic I'm hoping it was maybe enough. I know the first half of my verse was flawless but the end not so much. Due to my lack of interest in the topic, if Fresh can come correct. I might've been cut shy this week and have to redeem the loss later this season. **breathes out**

Illuminate(3-1) vs. Kayge(2-0)

I have Kayge taking this battle, and I'll tell you why. Illuminate just went through some very troubling acts in his life. Something like that can mentally and spiritually break or recreate a man. Either illuminate is going to be too hurt and lost to write, or it'll fuel him to write his ass off like never before. Kayge on the other hand doesn't seem to have any distractions this week and will be looking to get his contenders match next week. Botw easily.

Terrance Joksterr(2-0) vs. Day-Day(1-0)

Trajik decided to come out if his hole and YDK is looking to put food on his family's table. This battle will be interesting seeing as I helped mentor both writers. One on side, you've got good storytelling and on the other you've got a poetic essence. I've got Trajik winning but honestly could fall either way.

Mordycai(3-3) vs. PTheBeast(1-0)

Interesting battle. Beast managed a win over a technically better verse last week but this week he's facing a writer with a similar style as himself. Cai is looking to get outta the .500 section in the league and get on the championship road. Will he win? I predict experience will lend him a hand.

CLA919(3-3) vs. Skully Hendrix(2-2)

If Skully shows, Skully wins. The only way Cla can get the victory is if she got out of her basic style and absorbs the advice and feedback I've been giving her. Skully had a decent run at me last week but I honestly don't know if he's going to show after getting KO'd. He gets my vote until them.

Tropical(0-0) vs. Ridiculous(0-1) vs. Split Eight(0-0)

If he shows, Split wins fairly easily. Unless Ridiculous takes my advice and actually drops a story (which I doubt because he made his lack of interest pretty clear in the chat section). Tropical is the dark horse in this battle but I think experience will keep him out of the winning circle. Should be a good one either way but Split definitely gets the predicted win.

The Great Father(1-2) vs. Alphabet(1-2)

If he shows, Alphabet wins. Until Dadiator takes this league seriously and quits dropping his shitty short stories, the guy will never win a face-to-face battle. Alphabet on the other hand could easily be in the contenders and championship matches if the dude would quit no showing.

Top 5 Writers

5. Kayge: Kayge has been one of the top writers since the first season of Scripted Visions. With intense storytelling and incredible mechanics, the guy has become a beast since our rivalry in season eleven of sacred scriptures. Though Kayge has admitted he'll be taking leave to run his own league elsewhere, I expect him to be pulling a CM Punk and taking the title with him.

4. Illuminate: even with all the shit he's going through in real life. He's still managing to stick around and throw haymakers. A great storyteller with a pretty solid rhyme scheme to back him up. He fell short in the title match but I reckon he'll be back for round two very soon. Don't ever turn your back on a fox.

3. Fresh: he's had his off weeks in the league in my opinion. But there's no doubt that behind the emotional outbursts, there's one hell of a writer. Once he gets his mechanics sorted out and elevated a bit more, the guy will be a walking wrecking ball. He's only one solid piece away from being in the title scene.

2. 143: the number one contender for the championship this week. 143 has come a long way since he started in SS a few years ago. The guy has one of the most abstract fictions in the history of this league and figuratively leaves his readers in a gooey brain mess after they try to decypher it. Nevertheless, his storytelling and flow might be enough to get him the title.

1. The Champion, Professor Frost: frost defeated Illuminate to become the first heavyweight champion of this season. If the guy doesn't experiment this week and drops a mechanically driven story -- he'll win. A beastly writer and a even better human being, I'm interested to see what he brings to the league this season as number one of week eight.

Outro

Man, I'm pretty happy right now. I champed. My SS fam has been having my back lately, it's wild. I never thought somebody so insignificant could now play a role in SS & RB, not like this.
Thanks to all my supporters. I wish I could have got this out sooner to y'all. I hope you enjoyed this Mag as much as I have enjoyed it.

I have a really good feeling this is the start of something extremely beautiful. Not even the comeback of the league, something more & loud. A sonic boom of a movement that all of RB can not ignore. I have a feeling. I'm on one. We're all going to make this season legendary. People that could band together without conflict & keep trudging on despite when we do clash.

Shout out to all of my SS family, my department of defense LOL.
I peeped Rick keeping it real. I saw ILL show up & keep it real. I saw GoW turn up & keep it real. These are people that truly do care about this website. Show them all respect.

And my fuck you's? Nah...I don't really give a fuck about haters.
Fuck every negative force that wishes to impede on our progress.

This is SS' response to anyone whom seizes that^ chance
This is our spiteful chant
