Battle Rap Wednesdays: Charlie Clips vs. Tony D





The first time I saw Tony D was when he battled Real Deal.  This was a terrible look, as he somehow managed to forget his verses all three rounds while Real Deal was throwing out haymakers.  Still, he makes a good second impression, going bar for bar with one of my favorites in the battling game, Charlie Clips.  The lines about "stop with the five minute rounds, you ain't that nice with it" and the general shots at URL's disgustingly long battles (most of these cats DON'T deserve five minutes) were on point.   He still couldn't pull of a win to me though. 

Don't get me wrong, Clips makes some mistakes in his battles (for instance in this one: what's with all these basketball lines while you're in the UK?  They watch soccer, make some bars about that shit.), but overall he's just one of the top tier guys in the game.  His main weakness is his lack of experience but honestly that's changing now.  He's had 2 battles this year so far (his third got canceled through no fault of his own), and I'm willing to bet he's on both the Night of Main Events and the Summer Madness 3 cards, so that's probably another 2 battles coming up. 

In any case, I give this to Clips 2-1.  His first round was pretty slick, and the second round when he does the "At any given time I could turn into a Harlem aggin" scheme was hilarious.

Sage Spoils The Plot: Kamen Rider Decade

Starting a new section today, entitled Sage Spoils The Plot. I pondered over this name for quite a while, but as I thought about it, I realized calling it commentary or blogging or whatever is just bullshit. What you're REALLY doing is spoiling the plot and adding your own brand of shitty humor. So, why not be honest? Plus, Sage Spoils The Plot has kind of a ring to it. For the first section we're doing the new Kamen Rider series of 2009, Kamen Rider Decade. Kamen Rider checks a lot of "totally fucking awesome" boxes for me. A lot of people might call it, "Japanese Power Rangers" (which is untrue from the start since that already exists) due to the suits and the fight scenes. I accept this. That said, its proof that anything done right can be cool--so when you get rid of the over-acting, toss in a good plot (exceptionally good plots actually), add in some well done characterization, and tone down the stupid-level of the fight scenes and make them look less l

The New 52, Corrected: Justice Legion A

What Happened: It’s another replacement book.  This time we’re getting rid of Legion Lost.  What I’d Change: Enjoy the adventures of the Justice League of the 853rd century.  Why: Put simply?  Legion Lost didn’t have enough legs to function as an ongoing series.  A group of the Legion’s best members go to the past to combat an alien virus...and then what.  They get stuck?  Meh.  The appeal of the Legion is they’re from the future.  This could have been a great MINI-series; something with a beginning, a middle, and an end.  As an ongoing I got bored, really fast.  So instead let’s replace them with a book about the Justice League of the far future. DC's got a terrible habit of making up awesome concepts and then leaving them by the wayside, this is one of DC’s greatest and its only been revisited like, twice.  (Once by Geoff Johns with Booster Gold 1,000,000 and once with Chris Roberson with some Superman/Batman comic.)   It helps lighten the hit that came with Flashpoint
