Saurus in 3. Fuck was they smoking sending it to OT.

Agree. Here is my suggestion. 1. 3 Qualified Judges 2. Scorecards for each of the 3 rounds. Each judge must declare a winner for each round or a draw. At the end of the round the scorecard for the round ending must be given to moderator. 3. After the 3rd round the moderator declares the winner from the scorecards or OT. The winner must be have the majority of rounds won on 2 of the 3 judges scorecards. This is the best judging system in my opinion. No more FREESTYLE judging!

Thesaurus is ridiculous. His first verse, while written (as most Grind Time verses are) had sick flips as if Thesaurus anticipated what Storm would say before the battle even started. Sick.

what sort of lines are more likely to win battles, the funny lines e.g. just fold your cards line from storm, or the ones with real meaning behind them e.g. disaster didnt leave a scratch line from saurus?
@Ronarch267114 жыл бұрын
If you ask me, The Saurus won three of the four rounds, including the OT. The round he didn't win was the double time stuff he did in the third, and you could argue a tie on that one.

@thisisallidobitch715 жыл бұрын
I see what you mean by it not making perfect sense and even noticed it myself when i first heard it, but he still conveyed his meaning pretty well to the audience although he didn't phrase it right. In the scheme he said that he left storm dead because he wasn't born for the rap game (with a pretty sick delivery). I prefer lines that make 100% sense, ofcourse, but that scheme is incredible. There are a handful of lines that don't make perfect sense like this from the world's best battlers.

@popp1nbottlez I totally get what you're saying. Now too many GT dudes are trying to be Smack rappers, because URL get so many more views than GT/KOTD, and GT is more rewarding of street-oriented rappers and give them more chances. The problem is that rappers now put less emphasis on comedy and technique/rhyme patterns, and more emphasis on toughness. I think battling was in its prime between BOTB 4 in June 2009 and Grizzlemania 2 in September 2010, it's declined since then.

@mistaconspiracy15 жыл бұрын
If you eliminate the OT option, then it forces you to pick someone. The judges then pay closer attention to every line, and they ultimately make better decisions. I go to every KOTD event, and the "no OT" judging system has improved the quality of judging overall.
