Battle Rap Wednesdays: Charron vs. Arsonal





My body just realized I was done with school so I was in a coma most of the day.  That's why this is so late.  In any case--usually I don't post Arsonal battles.  The guy rambles on forever without any actual punches so it's hard to listen to him.  The presence of Charron seems to have gotten him a little more focused though.

...For all the good that it did him.  This was a great battle, minus Charron's silly shit in the third round trying to rep Grape Street.  Fortunately its in the third round and near the end so 95% of the battle is fairly enjoyable.  I'm calling it as a Charron 2-1, because between getting the bandana took and just overall not being as funny as Arsonal's third, there's no way this is a 3-0. 

That said, this battle has revealed just how deluded a ton of battle rap fans are.  So many people are refusing to give Charron this battle, even calling it an automatic bodybag for Arsonal.  I seriously hope Ars doesn't believe any of that nonsense--Charron won this.  "Clearly.  No debating."  URL fans are slowly killing battle rap with this "street" nonsense.   Every battle rap event consists of two dudes basically doing spoken word poems at each other, usually with a ton of video game and movie references; how "hood" can these people really be?

But this is the best I've seen Ars in ages so at least he's trying to improve.   (Way better than that AyeVerb match.)

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
