    Week VII Magazine

    Sacred Scriptures Season XIII

    Week VII Magazine


    I just want to take this time to thank everyone for their continued participation and awesome enthusiasm this past week and going into Week 8! This will be the first magazine I do for the league, and it probably won't be crazy elaborate, but they are going to get better as they go for sure.

    I aim to be different in how I run the league and how I will approach this magazine. So I hope everyone is having a good time and that you enjoy this magazine for what is worth!

    And thank you for letting me be the moderator of this league. To be honest I have not moderated a lot in my day. I have been on numerous forums for many years, but have never had the chance or opportunity to do something like this.

    Honestly, its been a blast. And I am looking forward to the weeks to come and I hope I can continue on after this season is done!

    Thank you for taking part in this league once again as it would be nothing without its awesome competitors. Looking forward to reading everyone's material in the future!

    Also, if any of you also make music please let me know and let's work! This is Rapbattles.com after all! I am an emcee, producer, engineer and promoter! Get at me if you want to work outside of the website! Always looking for cool people to collaborate with. Music links are in my Sig!

    Thank you!

    - L.E

    Battle Recap:


    Champion Match: L.E Vs. 143

    I thought this was another great match up and a lot closer what the votes indicated myself. I ended up taking it 3-0. Great battle though 143.

    Contender Match; Professor Frost Vs. DEV

    Easily one of the battles of the season, both came with very solid material. DEV ended up taking this one by a voting score of 3-1, earning himself an L.E rematch.

    Mic s Vs. Enterprise

    Great little battle here as both are fairly new, but both clearly showed they can contend with the rest. Mic s brought a brilliant little poem, but unfortunately it was just a little lackluster compared to Enterprise's highly polished, intricate piece. Enterprise took it 2-0.

    Antihero Vs. Boba fatt

    Antihero dropped just enough haha.


    Standings:


    1. DEV - 6 Wins, 1 Loss, 12 Points. One battle winning streak.

    2. L.E. - 5 Wins, 0 Losses, 10 Points. Five battle winning streak.

    3. 143 - 3 Wins, 4 Losses, 6 Points. One battle losing streak.

    4. zonez - 3 Wins, 4 Losses, 6 Points. Two battle losing streak.

    5. enterprise - 1 Win, 0 Losses, 2 Points. One battle winning streak.

    6. Antihero - 1 Win, 0 Losses, 2 Points. One battle winning streak.

    7. Professor Frost - 1 Win, 1 Loss, 2 Points. One battle losing streak.

    8. Mic s - 0 Wins, 2 Losses, 0 Points. Two battle losing streak.

    9. Samajae - 0 Wins, 0 Losses, 0 Points. Did Not Battle Week 7.

    Battle Of The Week:


    Week VII Contender Match: Professor Frost Vs. DEV

    This was as close as a battle could get in my eyes. DEV came with his signature storytelling and absurd flow, while Professor Frost brought a complex scheme that had multiple levels and perspectives. It was a great read overall, and both writers deserve extreme props on creating excellent pieces.

    Professor Frost opened up the voting 1-0, but the voters quickly grew onto DEV's slick storytelling and he got three unanswered votes to take the Contendership Match and earn a rematch with...well, me haha (which I am hugely looking forward to).

    This battle is worth another look, so here it is below!

    A fallen noble, known by locals as good Laird McCray
    'Was never scared or afraid of the English man or way
    His clan was brave, it spanned the Highland peaks
    Down to the beaches where the violence reached
    And the Northumbrian boarder where the Reivers meet
    Where evil breeds beneath the sweep of Eagles wings
    Beatin', soaring in the morning winds that the ocean brings
    Among the rolling Hills, boulder filled and cold on limbs
    A place...
    Where commotion lives, soaked in a potent mix...
    Of social rifts between the diff' Brits that exists
    Kilts v the lowland lips that persist with vocal hits...
    Against the enlisted ranks that sit in their homes equipped
    At risk...
    With emotions lit, and if coping's this, then know ones safe
    Which takes me back to the day that changed the pace...
    of the entire place, this the morning that McCray was slayed
    In a raid by a wave of English pillagers, mainly villagers...
    That came and killed in a... rage, all sinister
    Breaching the perimeter of his fortified villa with a...
    Lethal blow administered to everyone livin' there
    Women, children and visitors... all left motionless
    Immobile with the signature sword left probing his...
    Chest to show who committed this atrocious hit
    2 days later...
    The locals noticed it, provoking 'em to retaliate
    Fearing the valleys fate was nearing if families wait...
    So the men Raleigh straight away with the carried weight...
    Of revenging the late Laird of the estate, they held high
    The men prepared, they sharpened swords and knives
    Swore they'd take an eye for an eye for that fallen guy...
    They'd resided beside all of their lives, and liked
    Despite any thoughts inside of fright, they walked all night
    In the snow, hiked, ready to fight in furs, spurred on...
    By the words of a victory song, feeling physically strong
    Then...
    From along the tree-line of Pines they see signs of life
    Smoke from pyres rising like dragons breath about to ignite
    Passion running high, the assassins crept silent as kites...
    In flight, while the enemy slept, with weaponry flexed...
    The Scots steadily stepped, vexed, heavily armed
    In the calm before the storm, ready to target and harm
    Harness the darkness, with palm gripping rigid...
    The kill stick in it, time to finish what the English scripted
    So spread like liquid on the path of least resistance
    Then on one mans command, unleashed persistent...
    Like a piston, hitting their victims, an instant attack
    Took by surprise they couldn't counteract, the impact...
    Was too fast, trapped they all fell like flies
    One by one they were sent to Hell as they died
    With the cries of their women a lullaby for the ride
    Allowed to survive with the children cos there's no evil inside
    These people, just pride and a respect for another...
    That manifested as vengeance after they murdered this brother
    They deserved to suffer in this vindication of violence
    From the nation of the Highlands, the face of the righteous
    Bringing silence to the mindless and spineless, now lifeless
    Confined to the sands of time and the man who recites it

    As he recollected when he had to shoot the nine
    Tears streaming and fear's demon locked his heart in a clock's box; imbued with time
    Years of assault from his father had kept going till his pride was abused and dying
    He was accused and trying to continue his ruse, denying -
    The murder of a man that had his dreams hung, you could feel tension between them,
    The curtains of death called upon these actors and answered: "your scene's done"
    His mind was warped by each question; latches and shit
    Tried burning the memory away with matches and sticks
    Hoping the masses acquit, and his answer's legit
    The interrogator's face is colored brass with a twitch
    His pen jolts in curves, and volts with his nerves
    He's analyzing his every movement; all the massive of shifts
    Which didn't help, cause he was steady moving, not ready and grooving
    To the beat of his chest, he couldn't reach to his breathe
    Without it turning heavy and losing,
    His battle with the light; he flows with the dark of the night
    And each instance of pain is a spark that ignites
    Evidence piles by the body's each mark and its bite,
    He could start to fight but if he left, they might embark to the right
    The situation is growing so dire and the case is driving on cruise control, but slowing and tired
    The lead detective had a fiery soul where his passion's kept, beneath his badge and vest
    He decided to ask the best, after all what's the source of flames without knowing the fire?

    The life he was hoping they could remaster or remix,
    When his wife was choking, where was the faith he desires now?
    In the years of depth that delve down to hell's fires now
    His abusive empire's down and his ire's found,
    In a puddle of guilt for him to muddle with filth
    Dwight would come home from work and for fun hurt, his family
    He looked for empathy but all he could reach was insanity
    The detective decided to deface & decipher the lies
    The father's hand shook; each shake, a writer that hides
    Through intricate wording, he gained thee taste of a lion in rise
    Turns out the son had placed an eye on demise
    Haste has deny in replies, you race when you can't get by the supplies
    Life handed him lemons and he threw them down. Hatred had blew in town
    The detective met the boy's grandfather, You wouldn't have knew him now

    Saying that phrase just to get us past or eclipse,
    The exact shit he basked with all these years with his 'bastard' kids,
    Just for a good chuckle he had a rebuttal with, "Too bad I had six"
    As he fixed his glasses he said "In my prime ...
    I was a stockbroker during the flock over to the market in 1929
    Everybody gunned the signs and tried to prophet, it was a crime but they didn't stop it
    From the climb, they made profit, they would fund each bind -- or, bond
    And tied on, basically, a ticking timed bomb
    Until the graph made a shift and each man paid the shit we sold in fear
    But, the scold was here before the Great Depression, the late essence that creates stresses,
    Was fate in lesson. Thinking about the taped blessings that we've torn from sin
    Soared to the wind with reaped benefits, no future plan attached to it all
    Meanwhile Generation X leaped attendants that couldn't adapt to the fall
    I was an alcoholic, guilt laying on my chest in sleep; took a sip, and with that release I could breathe
    After a while, my problems wouldn't cease so I beat. All my children at school would get teased and keep,
    Being questioned, each time they responded it never lessened; God's game of life is to be questing
    The venue is testing our strength, because we are aligned as a people
    But, if faith is a church then it is declined and its feeble, not defined at the steeple
    The offspring we produce are merely sheep who are meant to grow and sever the trends
    Just to grow up and find out all the drama, suffering and sickness never ends
    Happiness. The pursuit is supposed to be the sacred sword that tears through our sin
    Funny how each lifetime we live and century we endure, this question is uttered"

    "Where Do I Begin"

    If life is a game, what, when and where do we win?



    Honorable Mentions:


    This is the segment dedicated to those who took the time to write pieces but they unfortunately got no-showed. So please take the time to drop some feedback on them!

    Antihero's Verse Vs. Boba fatt:

    http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/20...ng-d7slgop.jpg

    We conquered the four corners, monsters with swords and orders,
    stronger than a swarm of mortars, honored by war and horrors.
    Marched through the storms, sharks who swooned the core,
    the dark bloomed our scorn and our hearts fueled with gore.
    We slaughtered families and villages, offered calamity to innocence,
    the water would canopy our pillages, no fathers, entities or witnesses.
    We left for Japan before the sun rose, death was the plan, full of blood flow,
    each breath was a man under control, each step in the sand drew the one road.
    Swords and knives sharp as fangs, we'll warm the night with shards of brain,
    form the light with sparks from chain, endure the fight and mark the claimed.

    We are the devils favorite army.

    Closing Note:


    I just want to thank everyone again for being a part of this and I am looking forward to the last few weeks! I am thinking a Week 10 or 12 cit off for regular season then we can get playoffs underway, depending on user feedback.

    Coming into effect is also reinforced voting rules. This past week was a little bit of a gong show in that regard, with the exception of @mic s 's AWESOME video voting. We should all be ashamed of ourselves in how much little effort we put in compared to this guy! Haha nah there was a few that actually voted and that is appreciated. But, from now on if THREE VOTE LINKS are NOT left in your check in by the voting deadline, you will be docked a vote for every vote you didn't provide.

    Yes, that means if you are winning 3-1, and you failed to vote on ANYTHING, you will LOSE 1-0. I do not care if you wrote the answer to life: you want your battles voted on? Do your fellow artist/writer a solid and vote on theirs as well. If no one is voting, TAKE the initiative and others just might follow your lead.

    All in all, it's been fun and I am excited with things moving forward!

    Take care everyone and good luck!

    Re: Week VII Magazine

    If y'all do want an interview in the mag that would be the perfect thing for somebody to step up and do.

    I myself am just not that interested in interviews, and I definitely do not have the time to conduct them.

    But I will definitely include it if someone wants to step up and give it a go.
