Legendary Emerald

Count me in for Cranky Doodle.

Yuru Yuri. The only "moe" slice-of-life anime I ever enjoyed. Also, while googling for a pic of the cast, I found out that the second season is starting next week.

Heh, that's okay. Thank you for the attempt, though. So everyone else, I'm still looking for singers for "Yay" and "I Became a Monster". Especially "Yay", since I have at least one person confirmed for "Monster" who sang a first take and is going to sing a second take. An electric guitar solo and some slight mix-work are also going to be added to "Monster", but this will be done after vocals have been recorded and not prior (this is easier for the guy who will be providing these services). Lastly, I have a third song where singers are needed, this one based on Lyra Heartstrings. The instrumental would be done, if it weren't for some odd popping and clicking issues that I am going to have a friend of mine look into. I'll have that up before not too long, hopefully. UPDATE Alright, I've got a working demo of "Lyra" done, and I managed to find time to sing over it. Links to the instrumental, test vocal, and lyrics can now be found in the first post of the thread. Still working on the Trixie song, but it will take quite awhile at this rate.

I became a monster I became a night mare moon Only wish my sister Saw the changes too I became a monster I became a night mare moon Can't rule together Two thrones but there's no room for me I've got to break free Yes, I'm screaming the lyrics to a song I wrote. Problem, officer?

As previously mentioned, this isn't a part of the contest. Just something I whipped up in preparation, basically. Hopefully I can do better than this during the actual battles. (And it's a good thing swearing is allowed, because I hadn't even thought that might be a rule until after I realized how foul mouthed Gilda was. )

Sorry if I came off as rude or hasty. It's just that you mentioned earlier that the previous rap battle thread had died, and I didn't want the same thing to happen to this one. I know you have your own life, but you did create this thread and this idea; I don't think it's too much to ask that you reply to questions. Still, I apologize for hounding you like I did. That was wrong of me. I wrote a verse beforehand because I didn't know how the battle format would go. Many rap battles start with the opponents bragging about themselves before getting to beating down their opponents, so that's what I recorded; an introduction to Gilda's character, basically, with an opponent that isn't explicitly referenced. Since it seems there'd be no place for it in the rap battle proper, I'll probably just post it here when I've gotten it online, as intro to my participation, I guess.

I'm not sure if we are only rapping to the beats we select, or to the beat our opponent selects as well. I REALLY wish Crona would clear up all the questions that have been asked here. I've already written, and just finished recording, a rap for my character. But I don't know if it can even be used since the rules are so vague at the moment.

This thing needs to organized and started quickly, before interest wanes.

Very pretty. Reminds me of the super-detailed pixel art in a lot of the independent games being made these days. It would not look out of place within an RPG.

8 entrants so far. That is a nice even number, and with only that many contestants, the likely hood of this actually working out is high. Also, I don't know if this is how you were already planning to do things Crona, but it'd probably be good to have everyone participating do their raps in the same week. That means that the week one match-ups would all present at the same time, and be voted on at the same time. Same for week 2, week 3, etc. Because the longer the contest goes on, the more interest is going to be lost. Also also, I'd still like an answer to my previous question, on whether this follows the format of the Epic Rap Battles of History, where one rapper in the battle raps, then the other, than back to the first, then back to the other. Or does each battler only rap once?

Mkay. Does each combatant rap twice per battle, or only once? Also, the beat I'm using: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nx9cYq-7mkE When does the contest officially start? Should participants start writing lyrics now?

So, how does the battle aspect work? Will we know who are characters are battling against, so that we can make fun of said character in our raps? Put me down for Gilda, even though I'm far too white to be participating in this.
