Chet Ima bet everyones gonna crack your muscles

So I guess you lost your angel do u cuddle up to couples?
I kicked you out your cradle Do you equal huge facial?
Your fragile like a fossile Im a bit frightful be careful
You cant handel your true Idol Your brain is a marble
So come see me I'm local what true I keep it loyal
You aint on my level my words are somewhat lethal
Your a nipple I nibble on nipples All you do is mumble
Stop shootin needles this battle is gonna win me a medal
Your just a pimple and this is me being a bit playful

FLOW - Chet , both had good flow but chet's didnt make me stumble as in on blue i had to jump bakc a couple of lines somtimes.
STRUCTURE - Draw
PUNCHES - Chet, defiantly better punches imo, reviews was nice aswell as blink 182.
MULTIES - none, no attempt at multi's on my count.
RHYMES - Blue, even though some were in there and made no sense they were still there.
VOCAB - Blue
COMPLEXITY - None
NAMEPLAY - Chet
WORDPLAY - This Is Not a category.
CHEMISTRY - this is not a category.
PERSONALS - this is not a category.
OTHER - enjoyed chets more coz he went at blue and was more personel and direct.

Chet wins 5-3


note to other voters do not vote in the wordplay, chemistry, or personely categories as they arent categories in the breakdown of this battle board. and we cant have people making up the categories as they go along or else battles become un-even.

This doesn't have to count cause I don't have time to fill it all out but I vote Chet, basically for what Bar said, I agree with his distribution of points.

OTHER - enjoyed chets more coz he went at blue and was more personel and direct.

How can you call Structure a category.. but not personals and wordplay?

wow

personals are practically the basis of a battle. wordplay is basic lyricism, and this should be included.
not to mention the fact you give vocab to a dude who clearly has no concept of how to use words effectively.

Wow... no offence but if that's a mod vote, cats here need to up their knowledge.

however as said, it was clear who won.

worplday is entangled with nameplay they are basically the same category.

personels are entangled with punchlines, 90% of the time the best punchlines are personel, ive never heard of personel rhyming only personel punches.

chemistry only comes into play in a 2on2 battle coz in a singles battle who can you show chemistry with ?


oh and dont ever question my knowledge again when im clearly justyfing the categories and votes, vocab is knowing more and larger more obscure words, chets vocab was a below average level in this battle, blue's was probly a little bit higher so he gets the cat. structure, is line and rhyme structure if your telling me rhyme structure isnt a important part of text battling (and audio for that matter) then it is you who needs to up there knowledge.

and a note to you, youve made around 6 or 7 posts on this forum all of them have been in bad taste if i were you i'd stop that.

with all due respect Bar:

worplday is entangled with nameplay they are basically the same category.
Vice versa actuall, Nameplay is a hyponym of wordplay. It falls under the wordplay category. however as much as i see the point that you are making, it's still moot as nameplay wasn't included as a category in the first place man.

personels are entangled with punchlines, 90% of the time the best punchlines are personel, ive never heard of personel rhyming only personel punches.
^Personals don't have to be punches. I suggest you listen to... lemme find the track on soundclick and i'll pm it to you when i do, but it's by Warbux (a prominent netcee) destroying a dude without punchlines, only personals. However, you DO have a valid point though. Best punches are personal.

chemistry only comes into play in a 2on2 battle coz in a singles battle who can you show chemistry with ?
^no qualms with that, hence me not commenting, however i did quote it as well as the rest of your post, so i can see where the confusion stems from


oh and dont ever question my knowledge again when im clearly justyfing the categories and votes, vocab is knowing more and larger more obscure words, chets vocab was a below average level in this battle, blue's was probly a little bit higher so he gets the cat. structure, is line and rhyme structure if your telling me rhyme structure isnt a important part of text battling (and audio for that matter) then it is you who needs to up there knowledge.
LOL. No vocab is not. Vocabulary is not soley about the depth and breadth of ones knowledge of the language, but also how effectively they are able to use it. Otherwise, in a battle where the other categories are tied, an emcee could win simply by having a line going:
"My trachea has onomatopoeic anthropological parasynthetic rhymthm"
which makes zero sense, but shows they know big and obscure words.
Structure, CAN be seen as a category, however if, as in this battle, the categories of flow and multies are included, then structure CAN become obselete. Multies are an intrinsic part of the rhyme structure, and thus structure must be considered in judging them. Flow, in text especially, is also almost synonymous with structure in many senses as it is how one puts together ones verse on the page, how they STRUCTURE their rhymes in order for the reader to easily be able to determine how the words flow.


and a note to you, youve made around 6 or 7 posts on this forum all of them have been in bad taste if i were you i'd stop that.
I wouldn't call them bad taste, however, if you feel that, please could you be more specific as to what parts of of my posts have been in bad taste AND unjustified, and i will make an effort to remedy and avoid such posts in future

so you agree nameplay and worplday are basically the same category ? wether its caleld nameplay or its called worplay when voting they are judged on the same skill, you can vote on 1 but not both of them, hence why i stated wordplay was not a category becuase nameplay is the title we use for that section of skill when measuring it in a battle.

^Personals don't have to be punches. I suggest you listen to... lemme find the track on soundclick and i'll pm it to you when i do, but it's by Warbux (a prominent netcee) destroying a dude without punchlines, only personals. However, you DO have a valid point though. Best punches are personal.


i know punches dont need to be personel, same was as wordplay doesnt need to use the persons name but again we have these categories together in the punchline vote, if there if a specifically good personel punchline (or a specifically good peice of wordplay/nameplay) you have the choice to give a extra point for it in the "other" section when breaking down a vote, as i did in my vote becuase chet went direct and was more personel lines.


LOL. No vocab is not. Vocabulary is not soley about the depth and breadth of ones knowledge of the language, but also how effectively they are able to use it. Otherwise, in a battle where the other categories are tied, an emcee could win simply by having a line going:
"My trachea has onomatopoeic anthropological parasynthetic rhymthm"
which makes zero sense, but shows they know big and obscure words.


i said "knowing more and larger more obscure words" when i said "knowing" im talking about knowing what they mean, and sure even if a mc did that and it made no sense, his knowledge of the words were bad but he did know they were words witch yes is stupid and the guy looks like idiot, but when voting in comparison to someone who had below average vocab you still have to give the guy who pulled out the obscure words the point, even if it is just for the effort to try and add more obscure words, im not saying the person is a genious im saying that gets them the point, if the one battler tried obscure words and made sense and the other had even more obscure words but made no sense, the vote would go to the person who made sense, but in this battle that wasnt the case becuase one tried and one didnt, the one who tried gets the point imo.

Structure, CAN be seen as a category, however if, as in this battle, the categories of flow and multies are included, then structure CAN become obselete. Multies are an intrinsic part of the rhyme structure, and thus structure must be considered in judging them. Flow, in text especially, is also almost synonymous with structure in many senses as it is how one puts together ones verse on the page, how they STRUCTURE their rhymes in order for the reader to easily be able to determine how the words flow.


you have a valid point, but the way most people on here judge the categories, the multi's cat are rated on the standard of the multi rhyme not the flow of them, the flow is judged generally by how easy it is to read and how the rhymes flow, if you have to stop and keep goin back to get it to go in your head thats a bad flow, although imo flow on text is near pointless but its a category that everyone has always voted in on this board and ive never had complaints to switch it up and remove it or blend it in with another category, the structure is the structure of your lines (length wise) your rhyme structure wether its stable or unstable and were your rhyme are (inner line rhymes or end of line rhymes).

also even though im one of the mods of this section i didnt structure the voting system, I am trying to perfect it and im open to suggestion to get it more organized and reliable and you seem to have good knwoledge so if you have suggestion please make them, either PM me if you got some idea's you think could help the section or post in the rap battle discussion thread.

Not at all. Hyponomy means it falls UNDER the same idea.
Humans and Mushroooms are both Living organisms. Are we both the same thing? HOWEVER if you wish to put them together, then you vote on wordplay and NOT nameplay, never vice versa. Just as you would not judge a singer on whether they can hit high notes over their vocal range.
One can perform a wordplay without it being a nameplay, but not vice versa, thus logic dictates WP > NP.


i know punches dont need to be personel, same was as wordplay doesnt need to use the persons name but again we have these categories together in the punchline vote, if there if a specifically good personel punchline (or a specifically good peice of wordplay/nameplay) you have the choice to give a extra point for it in the "other" section when breaking down a vote, as i did in my vote becuase chet went direct and was more personel lines.

^So why not include it a category? Oh and i nearly forgot to include in the above point, NP is also a sub type of Personal. You cannot say personals are the covered by punches man. It doesn't work like that.

i said "knowing more and larger more obscure words" when i said "knowing" im talking about knowing what they mean, and sure even if a mc did that and it made no sense, his knowledge of the words were bad but he did know they were words witch yes is stupid and the guy looks like idiot, but when voting in comparison to someone who had below average vocab you still have to give the guy who pulled out the obscure words the point, even if it is just for the effort to try and add more obscure words, im not saying the person is a genious im saying that gets them the point, if the one battler tried obscure words and made sense and the other had even more obscure words but made no sense, the vote would go to the person who made sense, but in this battle that wasnt the case becuase one tried and one didnt, the one who tried gets the point imo.

Hmm.. maybe my love of old 5%er mathematics makes confused here, but
Knowledge / Understaning / Wisdom
are different things, and different levels, wit knowledge being the lowest. hence why vast knowledge is not the same as high iq.
And to go by your "knowing fewer words" that is also bullshit. I can't remember the english language theorist who proposed the idea of deficiency, in that, kids from a wealthier background who knew more words (This was ages ago) could understand things better because they had the words to describe it... guess that kinda falls in with the sapir-whorf hypothesis too.. but the point i'm trying to make is that's pure bullshit.
If i describe a colour as "transluscent turquoise"... or i describe it was being "something in between the blue midday sky being reflected on a clear lake as i look through glasses the colour of envy"
which shows a greater grasp of the language? which is more descriptive.
My friend it's not the size of a sword, but how one uses it. Thus a dagger can be used to defeat 3 armour clad claymour wielding oafs, in the deft hands of a skilled warrior.
Perhaps you should consider parrallels in the real world, or other simple anecdotes before you jump to such a conclusion. Because someone who uses no words longer than 6 letters who can tell me a fantastic story in his rhymes, is far more interesting and talented than one who tells a conscise tale using the minimum words necessary, and attempting to flaunt his vast lexical range without engaging me.
I mean for real, some of the best poems are the most simple.

"the flow is judged generally by how easy it is to read and how the rhymes flow"
-aka how they are structured
"the multi's cat are rated on the standard of the multi rhyme not the flow of them"
-so if it's "I AM DAVID/MY HAND SWAYS WITH" vs "I AM JOHN/FIVE GRAND ROB"... aka which is structured more coherently and basically how they fit together

Though you make a valid point about the rhymescheme structure and bar length, that is all in flow and multies. if you have 4/9 syllables, clearly the flow will be effected. however, it's not really important if your flow pulls it off. hence how a lotta rappers use the long/short style where they setup with a small bar then allow a drag on punchline
"You're slew if i dump raps son
Dude said he lovein the sneaks, and got stomped in the teeth... guess he got that tongue action"
^(weak example but oh well)
So, i'm still no able to agree with the idea that structure can be considered a category, yet personals and wordplay not. if they were, then it would be more eligible as a voting option, but by no means as important.


also even though im one of the mods of this section i didnt structure the voting system, I am trying to perfect it and im open to suggestion to get it more organized and reliable and you seem to have good knwoledge so if you have suggestion please make them, either PM me if you got some idea's you think could help the section or post in the rap battle discussion thread.

That's quite the turnaround from your previous:
"oh and dont ever question my knowledge again when im clearly justyfing the categories and votes"
But it's not a biggie, most people seem to question my ability at first, so I'm used to it. It's more fun to play the game when you haven't shown your cards yet, people don't know what to expect that way.
However, I'm only really interested in discussing new voting systems with those who i deem to have in depth knowledge, understanding and wisdom in concern to battling audio and text, as well as a few years under their belt, preferably as an admin on a site that is very emcee focused, as opposed to a fansite such as this (no offence, but i feel it is wrong to have an opinion on someone/something and not be man enough to voice it to them).
And i'm afraid you don't really meet my standards. However I will suggest a simple rubric which is generally accepted as being very good, yet basic.

Punches
Personals
Wordplay
Flow
Creativity
(metas/enjoyment are option extras, but only as a pair)
Overall


IMO your current one involves too many categories which cross over with each other and drag on the voting, as well as some people not understanding them.
This structure is short, effective and covers only the main areas needed for battles, with minimal confusion/crossover. It is also on a 5/7 cat basis, which avoids ties.

Enjoy.

i know what it means. again your saying the category should be called worplday, on here its been named nameplay...why ? i dont know it just has been, but they are getting judged by the same skill, witch is ultimately wordplay, it should be called wordplay but it hasnt been again i cant tell you why coz i dont know why, thats just the way its been and no one has ever brought it to the light, but you must agree that you can give out 2 point for the same skill, witch is why i stated wordplay as not being a category.

^So why not include it a category? Oh and i nearly forgot to include in the above point, NP is also a sub type of Personal. You cannot say personals are the covered by punches man. It doesn't work like that.


you got to understand im not, not inculding it as a category no one has ever asked for it to be a category but we cant have each member using different breakdwon categories we have to have a set amount of categories to break down, also yeh Np is a strong part of having personel punchlines and overall a personel drop, judgind nameplay and personel punchlines in a category caleld personel is a good idea. like i said members have never came and asked for these things and i dont have the right to change the categories all the time or else it gets confusing so if people think we should have a personel cat to single out nameplay and personel punches, so be it.

your sorta goin off track, i agree with what you said, but i stand by someone who has attempted to show more vocabulary deserves the point over someone who hasnt attempted it. your examples and methods you mentioned are all right but on a much higher level than needed in this battle, the mind frame you speak off is above what was on show so i never needed to think like it when voting in this specific battle.


the flow is judged generally by how easy it is to read and how the rhymes flow"
-aka how they are structured
"the multi's cat are rated on the standard of the multi rhyme not the flow of them"
-so if it's "I AM DAVID/MY HAND SWAYS WITH" vs "I AM JOHN/FIVE GRAND ROB"... aka which is structured more coherently and basically how they fit together


no becuase rhymes can be structured well, they are just bad rhymes, multi's can be structued well in the peice goin by there sylybles and were they come in on the line, but the multi themselves dont flow well. the rhymes are a big part in the flow but you can have to many words/sylybles bewtween the rhymes and this throws it of flow, then you next line can be structured completely different but flow better so the structure of your peice and the flow of it is getting seperated. the structure is the stability and how you stick to your rhyme structure and generally if you stick to a good constant rhyme structure it will flow well, but its not always the case depending on how good a writer you are, you can have a constant structure of rhymes that come in the same play every line, but 2 lines down you just have bad multi's that dont flow, the structure is still there but the choice of rhyme was bad and messed up the flow, these things all fit together in the overall peice and help each other out, but the reason for a breakdown is to see what parts you did well and what parts you did badly and thats the point in sperating these in the breakdown.

That's quite the turnaround from your previous:
"oh and dont ever question my knowledge again when im clearly justyfing the categories and votes"

And i'm afraid you don't really meet my standards. However I will suggest a simple rubric which is generally accepted as being very good, yet basic.



questoning my knowledge has nothing to do with who structured the voting system on this site. i justified my votes in the breakdown and the categories are justified because all skills are taken into account.

and look your becoming a bit of an asshole now, like your all high and mighty, like i said im happy to make changes to the system, i didnt invent this system i only uphold it and try and improve on it, no one has ever made complaints of the category breakdown (witch is optional by the way) and if this site or the people on it dont meet you standard, witch im sure no one really gives a fuck about, why complain about the system we have running here ? either stick around and improve the site with your almighty knowledge you brag about, or leave. either way i dont care, once you started acting like you got a the silver spoon of text battling up your ass i lost intrest in anything you have to say.

LOL
Figured this would happen. For the record, I'm self assured and confident, not cocky and arrogant.
However i understand i come across this way. As i said though, i won't be two faced and lie about opinions.

You made a good point that this is a low level battle though, which i agree with, but i stand by my points.

Nameplay =/= Wordplay, just as a Lion and a Cat =/=
Wordplay is a wordplay.
Nameplay is a wordplay INVOLVING the person's name etc

2nd, i don't see why you should make a square brick fit a triangular mould. If the voting system doesn't make sense in your eyes, don't use it. I've seen a number of voters not use any rubric at all and just point out "X wont this clearly, Y was blah", so why not reorder/change voting rubric?

And with your vocab argument, though logical in some ways, should someone who tries use 10 syllable multies but fails horribly and it hurts his verse, get the vote over someone who uses 2 and 3 syllables with expertise?
Quality not Quantity my friend. So i can't agree.

As for your arguement concerning structure, well, most admirable i must say. your example was good, and i concede that your points are indeed valid. However, if you wish to look @ it in that way, then i feel you're missing out fundamental portions of structure which included the syntax/wording, grammar and punction and verge into the domain of delivery... However, that would then fall under the category of Vocab (IMO) as it is to do with how the wording affects interpretation and reading. However if you're just talking about rhymescheme then i'm afraid, admirable though your efforts were, you've been unable to dissuade me from the belief that flow + "multies" (if you must use it) +vocab (if being used) is not a suitable substitute which removes this category. Especially as in my experience, winning by one category, when the category in question can be percieved as being structure, just causes problemes

I didn't say questioning your knowledge was to do with who made the voting rubric btw, i was merely voicing my concern that you're not, in my view, the person to discus advanced rubric with. It was not meant to be offensive, but as i have already stated, i am well aware that it will likely seem that way.
nor was i questioning the validity of your vote, merely was i pointing out that i felt your opinions were wrong... actually i can't say that, rather i felt that you were wrong in your views about certain aspects of voting structure.
And on a side note, you mentioned that you can't change the categories, yet willfully disregarded severall... is that not changing them, if even for one vote? what's to stop others being allowed to do the same as long as the core elements are there?

finally, i "complain" about the system (Actually it was more your personal use of it, but that's not the issue) because i don't like to see potential talent go to waste anywhere. if emcees get held back by restrictive or poorly designed systems (for example, again this is not a critique of the system here, merely an example), i have a problem, as i don't want that talent to go to waste.
Since when did i brag btw?
I find it most amusing that the person who began their first response to me "Don't ever question my knowledge" (i took the liberty to correct the typo), now has a problem with another person inadvertedly (sp?) coming across as superior or "holier than thou".
Is that not pretty much a perfect example of hypocrisy?

My friend i have no problem with you, or this site, and no intention of trying to sound better than anyone... Heck I'm pretty left wing and socialist in my views so i don't really like the idea of being superior, but i do take offence to your being so hypocritical, and attacking me.
I'm voicing my opinions, and providing activity and discussion on a DISCUSSION BOARD.

What am I doing so wrong?

And as i say, i won't be two faced and hide my opinions while pretending not to have them.
