ROUND THREE (FINALS)*
Round three is the FINALS. Write a 32 bar verse (16 bars each roughly) spinning off the concept of the original song you picked the beat too. This means you can use the rhyme schemes in the original song to play off of as well as the concept. Be creative, but remember to play off of the original concept! May the best verse win. Deadline to get your verses into me is: Wednesday, February 20.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask myself or Painkiller in this thread or in a PM. And by signing up for this, you should be aware that we want a clean, fair, and smooth tourney. Be sure to remind each other of the deadline for your verses and if we can get all the verses in before the deadline, we'll drop the Round early! Remember, this isn't a Rap Battle tourney, so you're not battling the other guys, you're merely trying to develop the best verse that you guys can so that you can wow the judges into voting in your favor to advance. You have a name color as a reward, so bring your A-game! Be as creative as possible and heed the voting sheet while writing - the judges will be voting off that. Good luck, writers. May the best team win!
