HipHopGame's Battle Zone 2006 Awards
Aight, since J. Quality got banned and shizzle...I took it upon myself to get all the votes together so people get their recognition round here. There were some ties, some close calls, and some blowouts out of the damn water. Here goes the list with winners and honorable mentions.
BEST WORDPLAY
BigDog & SPScarface
BigDog and SPScarface share the crown on this one each getting a total of 4 votes from the users. We all know about SP holding it down nicely for Vegas Entertainment...doing their thang consistently. BigDog is also widely known for his clever wordplay he employs in his battles and writtens. Both MC's are very deserved for this award.
Honorable Mention
Heavily Weeded
BEST PUNCHLINES
Punchline Prince
In a fuckin landslide Prince takes this category, with no other MC's receiving a single vote. Prince has displayed time and time again in his battles that his ability to script punchlines is where he shines. It's elevated him to an excellent battle record and one of the respected veterans on this board. He most definitely lives up to this name, that's why we call him Prince.
BEST METAPHORS
Heavily Weeded
"Weeded...its what makes him special" - The quote used to describe his lyrical talent. Weeded's talent to script creative metaphors that get laced into punches has helped elevate him to one of the elite battlers on this site. Hard hitting punches are part of his repitoire but the metas are what kill verses.
Honorable Mention
SPScarface, Finess
BEST RHYME STRUCTURE
Steel Soldier, DJ Vegas, BigDog
There was a three way tie here, however, when you consider the category each MC employs a different rhyme style and structure. In my opinion (and feel free to add yours) Steel has the most effective structure, DJ Vegas has the most creative, and BigDog has the most dangerous. Certainly an attribute to each MC's skill and they each get to share this title.
Honorable Mention
sickvick, SPScarface, Heavily Weeded, PunchlinePrince, The_Mayor
BEST OVERALL EMCEE
Heavily Weeded
In the category of most talented MC in all arenas of battling, whether it be punchlines, multis, metas, or flow...Heavily Weeded comes out on top far and away above the runner-ups. After his loss to The_Mayor in the championship of the previous tourney, he revisited the final round of the Battle tournament vs. SPScarface, winning via a knockout. More recently he was also crowned champion of the Topical Tournament as well, solidifying his status of the Best MC on HHG.
Honorable Mention
Punchline, The_Mayor
BEST MULTI'S
Flawless
When you talk about multi's almost always Flawless is mentioned in the same sentence. The talent to develop multiple rhyme schemes, whether it be inner or outer rhymes, Flawless has clearly mastered this lyrical skill. Its a treat to read the complexity when seeing his battles and its clearly evident he was most deserved of this award.
Honorable Mention
Finess, C^Mil
BEST KEYSTYLER
Jthamind
Jthamind stepped onto the scene this year and made his impression known by laying down some sick keystyles, part of them disses, part of them battles. He's been recognized as a skilled writer by possessing this ability to script some ill shit off the top, and took the crown in this particular category.
Honorable Mention
Flawless, Narc-Uzi
BEST CREW
Knock Out Kings
Give it up for the Knock Out Kings y'all. The veteran crew consisting of DizzyReborn, FLAWLESS, MoNeY MaC MuRdA, Narc-Uzi, penrino, and now active leader PunchlinePrince. KO Kings have had a long run on HHG taking out the competition and earned the title for this award, just barely edging out Vegas Entertainment by one vote. Definitely a close call here...but y'all definitely have been doing your thing so give it up for the KO Kings.
Honorable Mention
Vegas Entertainment, Definite Objective
MOST LIKELY TO BE ILL
Penrino
The voting community agrees that the next one up to be part of the illest cats here at HHG is Penrino. Most to all of us have seen his progression from when he started battling to where he is now, and it has been established he's most deserved of this award. His elevation has been steady, and if he continues spitting, continues battling, and works on his skill he'll be a serious force to be reckoned.
Honorable Mention
Jthamind, sickvick, Flawless
BEST KOLLABO
Vegas Entertainment
vs.
Knock Out Kings
This sick battle was recognized as the best combination of sick verses together in one thread or battle. Obviously when looking at the calibur of personnel involved on both sides, you have to expect some serious shots fired and hard hitting punches thrown. This went down as the illest arrangement of verses put together on both sides...and well deserved of this award.
BEST BATTLE OF 2006
The_Mayor vrs. Heavily Weeded
Hands down, the best battle of 2006 was between The_Mayor (former battle tourney champion) and Heavily Weeded (current battle tourney champion) in the previous Battle Tournament earlier this year. Going into the battle, Mayor was the favorite but Weeded posed a legitimate threat going into the match undefeated. When all was said and done, The_Mayor edge the match winning 5-3 and taking the Battle Championship belt. As Mayor had previously stated, when both verses were dropped the thread had 400+ views in one night...it was certainly the most anticipated finals match and lived up to the hype.
Honorable Mention
DJ Vegas vs. SPScarface
BEST DISS OF 2006
"Fall Back"
&
Streetsweeper & Mayor's Fued
Both were equally entertaining, especially the Mayor/SS disses that were thrown back and forth. Fall Back was a Jthamind and ¶-7-¶ collabo earlier this year taking shots at anyone who was in their way, and StreetSweeper started taking shots at Mayor until he effectively responded. Each thread was very popular, very entertaining, and certainly should share this award as the best diss threads we seen from the masses.
MOST POPULAR THREAD
DJ Vegas - "Time for me to address this...."
DJ Vegas took the crown for creating the most popular thread in the Battle Zone section of HHG. At the time there was a fueding beef between internal members of Vegas Entertainment, and DJ Vegas took it upon himself to explain his side of the story. "Time for me to address this..." solidified that Vegas Ent wasn't going anywhere, that their former crew member was a bitch and not welcome anymore, and that VE was to move on and put that nonsense to rest. And it certainly did put that shit to rest!
MOST POPULAR EMCEE
The_Mayor
Hands down the most popular MC on this board is The_Mayor of HHG. Not only is he recognized for his lyrical talents, he also displays an excellent acumen for the hip hop genre and voices his opinion in threads here at HHG. As one voter said "Mayor has more stans here than Nas." Haha...good shit indeed. He takes the crown as the most recognized name in the Battle Zone, and possibly in the entire HHG forum as well.
Honorable Mention
BoneCollector, Narc-Uzi, Heavily Weeded
