Shouldn't there be (or maybe there is) like an SS Hall of Fame for classic verses???

hmm....there isn't actually. i think Endeva is the only person i've seen with a medal on that too. so it sounds like a rare thing.Originally Posted by SELF ACTIVATE
for some reason things are rarely HOF'd or nom'd for Legends when it comes to topical battles.

Smh this woulda been HOF easily. L.E is the biggest competition I've ever seen on RB, from my eyes. him and Mr. Black and Oatmeal.

worth a HOF nomination.
It just seems like a lot of great material has been packed away over the years. Personally, I go back into the archives and read old battles sometimes. Mostly it's to see how steep the competition was at any given time or season. I just feel like it would be so much easier if we immortalized certain verses or battles that made a huge impact on the league or season. But ultimately I suppose it's no big deal.
Yeah, I really wanted to battle L.E. too. Unfortunately, by the time we started matching up I was already burnt out and busy as fuck. It just never came together like it was suppose to. It would have been an epic clash, BUT...I would have won. LOL. Defeat was never an option.
^I'm sure L will read that and sign right back in tho. LOL
I remember there being like 3 different blacks on here and RIA, but I was never sure which was which or if all three were the same. I think I remember a Chris Black, Mr. Black, and Blacketh(?). All three were insanely dope. I'm guessing it's all the same guy.

@OG Maestro Personally, I think this may have been my best verse in SS. Especially given the lead up and slick remarks prior to the battle. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

^I apperciate that bro. However, I was diving for the deadline when I wrote that. As a result I was a little sloppy in my overall execution. Going back and re-reading it I see a lot of things I want to polish up. Especially, grammatically.
In any case ... What do you feel your best SS battle or verse has been to date?
@SELF ACTIVATE ha u had me digging up the archive too. I really dig that dude Bounce. He's dope.
Yeah Bounce was nasty with the multis
yeah, Bounce is a legend. he seemed like he was ahead of his time, i'd love to face him.
i got a few of each

I agree with you 100%. i been a walking tower of ego on RB for a while now, but it's only to grind against people's opinions and force conversation.
What I've learned is that this site, as a whole, doesn't give a single shit about topical writers.(the users mostly. and the attention of the mods is scarce. either 143 or Kayge are trying to make a difference. but 1 person can't do it alone)
There needs to be more organization on here and someone has to go through the archives to nominate SS HOF battles, Legendary battles (if there is any)
But like you said, it's not a big deal anymore. we can preserve 2014 on forward, but 2012 and back is a lost cause pretty much at this point. which is unfortunate, but i suppose the main thing people want to do is have a space to write and share their writing.
And you and L.E are in my Current Top 5. I think you'd beat him because of the enjoyability and emotion and style you have. you're like a more lyrical version of my old style. my flow was never that good back then, and since you have that you'd edge him, most likely, in every battle. I use to beat technical guys like L.E, 143 for example, based on creativity and my fun storytelling alone. if you read my champ battle vs. illuminate you'll see how animated I use to be compared to now.
Blacketh/Cognition/Mr. Black are all the same person. he's top 5 of all time def.
I'd say your battle vs. DEV is good, but I think DEV dropped the ball. your verse is OM HOF so if he had a similar caliber of a verse that'd be SS HOF.
Speaking of dropping the ball, I no showed you last season. you did very well in that battle too. you would have a lot of success if you were around when ThatKidCry, Chris Black, Enigvale, Blacketh and Oats were on. 2011 woulda been a good year of competition for you.
I've read all of these except for the battles with Ill and Black. So I'll check those out and let you what I think afterwards. In fact, I think I might just re-read them all in general. I'll get back to you, bro...

I wish I would have been around back then...it definitely seemed a whole lot more interesting and active than it is now. But, oh, well.
