GOAT Day 1: Kool G Rap vs. Cormega

vs.

Kool G Rap for me, although I do like me some Cormega

G Rap, pretty dope matchup...and KRob can you post the seedings before jumping into this?

cuz you dont even have Cormega on the list of 64 in the other thread

Yes he is I edited my first list.

G Rap wins for me but i'll take Mega's discog over his.

First of all 'Mega is an extremely dope emcee...I justed wanted to say that first, very talented...very lyrical and his flow is legit


but G Rap is ridiculous....an insane spitter with an insane flow with some pretty insane lyrics...one of the greatest of all-time...inspired plenty and just a complete legend


G Rap wins and quite easily too!

Cor-mega, raw foreva

I gave this one to mega, but this competition is closer than terry is to his cousin.

Kool G Rap

ok cool, any idea about seedings though??

i would just make it easier to organize, remember the bracket i made for the best produced albums thread last year?? something like that would be cool or like what Steve did with the best poster thread

Then there is no point for them. It's like putting numbers next to them. They serve no purpose.

G Rap is the better spitter, but the stan in me won't let me vote against Mega.

well then like i said before make them "random" but do it with some objectivity...i.e just vie some of the older guys always considered "legends" higher seeds and so forth

also, there is a purpose because its ho you determine matchups. If matchups are just thrown together theres no basis for who they'll matchup against next, etc. You need 4 sets of 16 in a 64 person bracket to make this work or else it will just be a hodge podge of random matchups thrown together...

i think Kev might be doing this as a winner moves on thing which IMO is not the way to do this. So tomorrow G Rap will go against someone else until he's eliminated, i hope thats not the way this is done cuz its not as fun or interesting that way and its not really determinant of a winner, seedings are needed regardless of how they're made for rganizational and matchup purposes

A bracket makes sense definitely. I'm pretty sure Kev has that in mind. However, random seedings are pointless. However, your idea to make them based on age is not pointless. That will take some research though.

i know there are more than 4 for some but those are just numbers i eyeballed and would objectively put

So I always match a high with a low? And how many vs. a day should it be? Like I said i'm new to the bracket system.

Yeah do high and low as much as possible, youll have some close ones though. As for how many you do a day, it's entirely up to you. Just make sure to keep up with the votes etc.

I'd say do one a day for a few days and see how it goes. If the threads are picking up a lot of responses, then keep it that way. If not, maybe put up two a day

Cormega's dope but give me G Rap.

I agree with what Slang said above, and G Rap wins this matchup easily.

Just like NCAA Kev do 1 vs. 16, 2 vs. 15, etc.

I would make 4 regions.

And I would do 4 a day, as we get closed do one or two.

Just my opinions.

Sounds good

yeah, but in the NCAA at least the 16 has a chance to win... here you might as well just do a top 8 if you are going to do it that way.

whens the last time a 16 seed won

i thik the 16 here has a better chance to win than in real life...

and Kev dont use those seedings i posted those were just random ass ones i thought could be objective , besides there can only be 4 of each seeding in each "region" and my post had more than 4 for some of the numbers

I think kev needs to put 64 numbers in a hat and pull numbers to determine ranks.

might as well do without the numbers then. you can do a bracket without seeds

Southern Rap Pro wrote:

what would be the difference in that and Kev choosing objective numbers himself? No one is going to agree with either, so if we can use some level of objectvity instead of pure randomness wouldnt that be better?

The randomness eliminates bias, but you would have to believe Kev is being honest if he did that. I don't care either way though. I do these polls for the fun and the discussion as opposed to getting an accurate end all, be all winner.

My vote is no seeds for obvious reasons, and I feel what Terry is saying

there will be some bias but it will only be Kev's bias, and if people dont agree with his seedings then the upsets will occur, i just think using some objectivity makes it more interesting rather than a random seeding whcih you could end up with Tupac vs. Biggie or something in the first round, whereas if they met later it would be way "funner"

I get the picture now. I'll handle it. I will do it in rounds until we are down to the last two. 32 vs 32, One half is a bracket that will go against each other and so is the other half. Then they will meet in the middle.

Are you talking about lounge? Yeah that was me, we have a long-running joke about that.

As for any other posts, I'm not involved. If SRP got cut for the lounge edit then please reverse that though.
