Best Flow tournmanent?

Let's make it happen.

Not sure if it would be more productive to just vote on rappers based on their flow throughout their career or to nominate specific verses as examples of flows, but I'm sure we could figure it out.

Thoughts?

Great idea, as long as Heavy D is involved...

Method Man, AZ, Monch and Jay-Z will be the final four.

Could be dope. B.I.G. and Jay would be favorites.

i think picking songs would be the best move.

64 songs needed if we do this real tourney style. otherwise 16 will be fine.

I would love to hear specific tracks from peoples favorite MC's kickin' wicked rhymes like a fortune teller.

Too many people vote without even knowing who they are voting against.

here's my candidate for dopest flow in a song:
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aj9OYVaKAbQ&hl ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aj9OYVaKAbQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

and if anyone doubts his flow, another track:
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eOFTTMhf4Ys&hl ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eOFTTMhf4Ys&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

pick a song for each contestant after every round pick a new song, and when it gets to the championship each rapper gets 3 songs...a lot of work, but the way it has to be IMO...Gloss id be down to help, just email me.

Am I the only one who thinks that Monch's flow gets old after a while? Too gimmicky, I'm a fan but his flow is so much about his little syllable syncopation thing sometimes I'm not feelin' it.

vermillion · Post by **vermillion** » Mon Feb 01, 2010 3:56 am

This would be fun, love these tournaments. I haven't been posting long, what other tournaments did you guys have in the past? Anyways, Jay Z, BIG, Andre 3000, Method Man, Pharoahe Monch, Q-Tip, and AZ would be some MCs that I think should be included. Not sure about the song idea, but maybe each MC could have a short 5 song compilation that includes some of their best work flow wise. Anyways, good idea..

I can't remember if it was Prince Po or Monch but on the first album, there is one track where one of them says poet or poetical at least 4 times, that's annoying.

post-Organized Konfusion, I'd have to agree.

Monch is enormously overrated on these boards, though, probably because his political songs didn't make overt references to white people.

DLG · Post by **DLG** » Mon Feb 01, 2010 8:20 am

I love Monch as much as anyone, and I'd probably nominate his flow on "Bring it on" for this tournament, but it was hilarious how many times we was mentioned as goat status prior to Desire dropping on this board and how quickly he was forgotten after it dropped.

YouTube · Post by **Philaflava** » Mon Feb 01, 2010 8:31 am

Fat Monch was better.

You guys know that people will judge flows according to how many multis a rapper can cram into a sentence?

case in point, Royce beat Mef in that "rapper skills" tournament.

In ANY tournament, lots of people are going to vote on a rapper based upon whig or bork appeal alone. It doesn't mean we shouldn't have the tournaments. Faggots can't help being born faggots.

Pharaohe Monch can be overrated? intriguing theory. but i'm not purchasing what you're marketing.
