I messaged Ardamus my vision for an organized forum that includes league-specific stickie threads, ideas for getting artists involved in their own promo, polls, analysis, etc. I think we can grow from 5 to 10 to 50 quickly. And think in a few months we'll have fodder for a blog.
You guys here gotta get involved after Ardamus and I set things up though.

Yeah at this point, it'll take us a minute to sort out the details. Not too long though. Got a good format going, thanks to Thun. We'll have it all hooked up soon. Hold tight, folks. @ hold tight.

We'll need it, man.
Plus, we're gonna have some wild ass trolls on here when CTR is revamped. So all y'all that contribute now, definitely do it on the forum. Its perfect since the big battles in the rest of the summer havent popped off yet.

The forum will take one month to find its grove. Make people interested and deliver daily content. But I think there is a huge demo that would be interested. I'll be moving the forum up too.

I just did a battle today, for BeastMode. It was pretty fun. Conspiracy was there.
This opponent was MUCH more lyrical than Mista Conspiracy. You can discuss amongst yourselves who you thought won when it comes out.
I did say this though:
"Mindbender Supreme is the next legendary Canadian creator of Godly greatness/ that should be rocking stages with Aubrey Graham/ I'm so far gone beyond like Drake in a billion dollar space ship/ but still close enough to drop love bombs on all y'all haters faces"
oh yeah, I also wore the alien hat and the arizona aboriginal vest
the legend and myth of YOTMB continues
don't know when it will come out... so stay tuned

can yoo dig it
can yoo dig it
Toronto, ON – I’ve worn many hip-hop Kangols. I’ve seen this insane and amazing art-form from almost every perspective imaginable, and it’s been a continually enlightening experience. People may know Mindbender from my so-called “MINDBENDER REACTIONS!!!” (peace to PVP) at the front of countless King of the Dot (KOTD) battles over the years, as I have listened to thousands of punchlines and bars from the hundreds of MCs who have stepped in the ring to do their thing.
In the last 5 years, KOTD has grown into arguably the world’s premier battle rap league. I have judged dozens of battles, weighing a variety of intangible elements as well as measurable impact from such factors as punchlines, jabs, set-ups, uppercuts, body bag bars, clever and witty wordplay, jokes, presence, power of voice and strength of spirit, entertainment value, freestyles and rebuttals, articulate enunciation, vocal projection, breath control, sense of showmanship and performance ability, similes/metaphors/alliteration other literary devices, social observations and clever media references, physical props, body language, hip-hop history knowledge, battle rap wisdom, HONOR and INTEGRITY, intellectual and poetic intensity, memorization accuracy, understanding of opponent, destruction of competition, chokes or stumbles, legacy/career momentum or underdog status advantage, courage to do something creative, and basic animalistic fucking hunger to eat mans food off they bloodclot plate right in front of their face. Those things are palpable in the air when you are near the infamous rhyming ring, right before a battle.
