The Marathon (Best of the Best)

[Pain]

this is only for the emcees in this cipher. Post a 16bar verse for a song titled "The Exodus".
Whoever has the best track, and I´ll ask Milkdaddy to be the judge, will win either a Cd or a DVD of their choice.
Last date for submissions is the 14th March 2003.
Milkdaddy please announce the winner on Monday the 17th of March.
This is my special way of introducing myself to the cipher.
Pain

[The Ebony Cat]

is this pain... from Mitchell´s Plain...?
who used to step on stage at Angels and maintain
who along with Devious was all about Western Block
and proved that their shit stinks just as their rhymes rock

[Pain]

Nah doggs, I´m not from the Western block. I guess it´s just that  we share the same name.

[briCK]

Its The EXODUS after briCKs begining
in other words ..large numbers move after GENESIS
the VERSE is
a JOB to understand coz its full of CURSES
when i rhyme upon
the mic i am a KING WITH A CROWN OF THORNS
the BIBLE warns
about briCKs f***ing DEVILISH HORNS
i stay indoors and do these PSALMS
but mc cant add my skills if they had a million palms
i get CROSS and then the mic gets CRUSIFIED
drink a gla** of HOLY SPIRIT get drunk and then decide
my SAUL aint worth bin STONNED so i RESURECT it
smoke ANGEL dust and ACCEND towrds the HEAVANS
get the munchies DIVIDE BREAD AND FISH and come back for seconds
if i don´t win Pain´s CD...i have no choice..then its heist
i am very nice i make CHRISTAINS say JESUS CHRIST
this man is nice...a CARPENTER of DIVINTY..a strong WILLED man
spawnned from the dust with LAZARUS the epitome of A-MEN

come on people, don´t u want a dvd of ur choice? WHERE DA EMCEES AT?

[Sage]

rap destiny, dust my feathers up, then proceed to take the throne
I know ya´ll know the prophecy, getting you bumrushed is a norm
science fills my dome, I relate my stories in published sriptures
that´s known to torment mics bruisin cords with my verbal pictures
how I paint my raps, how I´m quick to slap jakes with the loudest yap
quick to dap, throwing tease jabs, sending foes to eternal naps
yes, I am that same nigga who run laps on 42 tracks
spit back to back, sending broke niggaz bouncing like cheques
whatchu expect, actin like you ain´t knowin´ we clapping fools
dumping niggaz like stools, its no holds barred, no adherence to rules
in the genesis there was rap, but after I came, there was death
start of the end, demise of fake men, cleansing this earth
I know ya´ll holding your breath, asking if Sage took the devils pact
is he for real, what he say in his raps, is it facts or it´s just an act
does he really vanish men, verbally pounce on flesh and turn it to dust
he just started, but is he gon´ bring 10 commandments in his Exodus??

[Pain]

A bit disappointed that the emcees on this cipher didn´t wanna lace 16bars. Thought the whole idea of ciphers was to get the writting going.
briCK and Sage, madd luv to you dawgs. Thanks for representin.
Milkdaddy, we got a situation here. Only two verses, should we give out the prize or what? Holla back
:-(  :-(  :-(  :-(  :-(  :-(  :-(  :-(  :-(  :-(  :-(  :-(  :-(

[briCK]

what news letter and chance of getting back issues and what not?

[Anonymous]

so I guess the emcees chickened out huh
I bet you if Pain had just said drop a 16bar rhyme most cats here would have laced something. Just because he gave the title "The Exodus" most men were found wanting.
Most of ya´ll ain´t deep to actually conceive a rhyme titled "The Exodus". Peace to Pain and Sage for their efforts. Out of interest sake, why don´t Pain drop us a verse for "The Exodus".
Coz for all we know, maybe this cat is not an emcee at all. Yes this is an open challenge. Let´s see what you got Pain.
And oh yeah, so who won the prize??

BigNuts

[Pain]

BigNuts, here´s mine. Let´s see you go for it. Direct challenge answered, now you show me what you got.

thunderous rhymes  - I let ´em pour on you like it´s Noah´s rain
come lightning fast with more to lose than Mr BigNuts got to gain
answer to Pain, bring misery and hurt just as the name explains
dark souled with hollow patches, your misfortunes come as my gains
been on a high terror threat since mom´s egg got hit by dad´s sperm
lethal with a pen and pad, better sound your sirens when I drop a gem
redifining mortal boundaries, ejecting weaker cats in their infancy stage
most of ya´ll need to upgrade your minds and extend your mental range
peace to briCK and Sage, the only cats who had balls to pen a verse
while fake cats got zipped and bagged and fled the scene in a hearse
f*** what you knew, Pain is here to agonise and shape up this cipher
most of you think you rule, yet you ain´t nothing but shitters in diapers
the most pronounced, my form exsist in neuro-receptors and veins
whether seen or felt, I´m pa**ed as emotions through foes and friends
heed the warning my mens, every 24 is just another black august
watchu expect? after my genesis, there was bound to be The  Exodus
;-)

[DarkBlood]

Pains verse on this thread was considered to me as vicious
so I´m going to show an Exodus without getting religious
I have to apologise for my coming late on the set
it was all strategically mastered to keep you all in suspense
the Exodus that I refer to is the one of the mind
envision The Blood in another time zone when he rhymes
in a dimension of visions Satan´s proud of of making last
complicated to the point of making imaginations crash
like Windows 98 at the conference with Bill Gates
my whole world is defined around the emotion of hate
I´m a slave to it, signed as its agent of doom
spraying the darkness everywhere and every place that I loom
look in my eyes and get consumed
to play with me know the rules
to fools
my disclaimer´s "this isn´t high school!"
the mentality and paradigms have moved and also shifted
deny if you want but The DarkBlood is gifted
and I know that I have overdone my allotment of bars
but I needed more than 16 to warm up The Dark.
Boom!

Is that good enough for ya? :-)
