Potentially Dope
Aeral – Dude elevated a lot when he was battling every week. Then he sorta disappeared and no one heard from him. But now he’s back and if he drops how he was before he left, without any rust, then he’ll do some damage in the league.
DaTrusHurtz – Champed the LBL before and he’s a solid battler. Usually goes for the personal approach, so I dunno how he’ll do in a league with a bunch of people he doesn’t know. He’s solid enough to get to the top 10 though, no doubt about that.
N.Tavarez – 2 time LBL champ, the only one actually. Dude has a nice hitting style, but the past couple of weeks he hasn’t dropped nice verses. So he’s gonna have to step it up a bit and drop how he can to hang.
Te Ora – I like this dude. I discovered from him ANOTHA and brought him to the LBL when I ran it, and he got to a couple of champ matches and dropped some cool verses. He’s elevating every week, so it’ll be interesting to see how nice he is in a month or two.
Top 10 Power Rankings
10. $pitacular – Bit of a sleeper entry here as I dunno whether or not he’s gonna show up and drop nice. He recently got beat in the IBA champ match, but he dropped a nice verse and I thought he won. When he drops his best he’s a threat in any league, but I think he may be rusty. So we’ll have to see how he does.
9. Sound – Dropped a pretty weak verse last week but he was pretty brain dead creatively apparently. I see him beating Urban this week and facing F5TH Dawg the week after, that’ll be a tough battle so it’ll show how good he actually is.
8. Ex-Kal – I just don’t see him beating Resin. Only way I see it is if Resin no-shows, and at the moment I don’t see that happening. He’ll have to really step it up to be in with a chance.
7. kungfugrip – Dude’s nice. He picked up an easy win last week so we haven’t seen any verses dropped in the WBL from him yet. But trust me, and I know a lot of you already know, he’s a good battler.
6. Phryme – Seems to be an underachiever. He no-shows a lot which doesn’t help, and he’s always asking for extensions. The new rules could fuck him up also. So who knows, if he drops tight and shows up on time he could be a future champ. If he doesn’t, then he’ll just be another potential champ who got lost.
5. F5TH Dawg – He’s been dropping tight since he’s entered this league. If he can up his consistency a bit he’ll be a real threat. As it is I see him winning this week and probably getting to the contendership match the week after.
4. Richard Corey – As I’ve said a few times already, he very nearly screwed up against HDVM. Luckily though he dropped just enough to win. He can probably beat Mike V with his old style this week, but if he’s facing Resin next week then he’s gonna get crushed. For the contendership and champ match it’ll be almost essential that he goes back to his new style.
3. Resin M-I-C – He’s just been on fire lately. Dropping nice verse after nice verse. If he keeps it up I have no doubt he’s gonna be the champ of this league in 2 weeks time.
2. Mercules – Has a very good chance to win the WBL title this week. He shouldn’t be in the champ match as it should really be Fracture vs ouch, but due to Fracture signing out Merc snuck in and he’s got the chance to win the title. If he drops his dopest then there’s no doubt that he’s got the skills to win.
1. ouch – Dude’s a WBL legend. Yeah, he’s rusty but you don’t just lose skill. If he can drop to his ability this week then he should be able to get the win, he’ll have to try his hardest though otherwise he could be upset.
