Eminem has fallen off.

"First of all, he still gets grammys on his songs and could raps circles around Lil Wayne Drake the whole YMCMB."That is not a very big compliment. There are people on the street that could "rap circles" around Lil Wayne or Drake. Comparing him to the horrible pop rappers that people listen to today does not mean he hasn't fallen off. "If you think he "fell off'" and you have a beef with him then you call him, email him or whatever then you do that."If I was one of his close friends, he would probably admit to me he can't rap any more. His "interviews" are all planned out by Interscope. Record labels make the artist into something they are not. Interscope tells him what to wear (baggy pants in 2001, skinny jeans in 2010). They allow the artist to express themselves as long as their material sells. For instance, look at Relapse. His flow was fine, his lyrics were still the best in the game, and it was original. But that kind of subject matter (murdering) doesn't have that commercial appeal that it did in the early 2000's. So what happens next? He releases Recovery, an album without Dre beats, pop artist features and boring, repetitive rapping.Rapping comes from love of the game, not money. My guess is that Eminem simply does not enjoy rapping any more. The album titles tell you the story. He said that "rapping gets me high," and his return to rapping was apropriately titled "Relapse" (meaning he is "Relapsing" into rap). His next album is called "Recovery," meaning he is "recovering" from rap. If you listen to 25 to Life he talks about leaving hip-hop, saying "I'm divorcing you." This is after he stated he was "married to the game" in Not Afraid. Eminem can't say these things because of his record label, so he uses symbolism instead.Now moving on, I pointed out that Eminem cannot write lyrics like he used to, and I provided examples to illustrate this. You ignored them.I pointed out that he frequently uses "filler" rhymes in his latest songs. Again, no response to this.I pointed out that there were no more original concepts or emotional rapping. Once again, you ignored them.My opponent seems more interested in defending Eminem than addressing my arguments, and they extend to the next round.
Eminem has fallen off.

Eminem is one of the most lyrical genius of all time. Granted he wasn't as offensive in his lyrics as his previous albums but he has not god forbid fell off. I'm not kissing up to him at all but he has never fell off. First of all, he still gets grammys on his songs and could raps circles around Lil Wayne Drake the whole YMCMB. When it's all said and done, Em has a chance to surpass Tupac and Biggie as the greatest MC ever and that's the bottom line. He has inspired me to rap and a couple others but as far as fallen of is he has fallen off the advanced to the elite squad. If you think he "fell off'" and you have a beef with him then you call him, email him or whatever then you do that. Before you talk behind his back about what he does at least get your facts right. "You beef with me I'll even the score equally take you on Jerry Springer and beat your @$$ legally" (role model Eminem but you already knwe that.)
Eminem has fallen off.

In this debate I will be arguing that Eminem cannot rap as well as he did in the early 2000's. His first truly bad album was Recovery and he did not get any better afterward.First of all, he can no longer write lyrics as well as he did. Take for example the songs 'Renegade' or 'Lose Yourself.' On Renegade, he rhymes 3 syllables almost 20 times over. Let's take a look at it now (The underlined words are ones that rhyme):"See they call me a menace, and if the shoe fits I'll wear itBut if it don't, then ya'll swallow the truth, grin and bear it,Now who's the king of these rude, ludicrous, lucrative, lyrics?Who could inherit the title, put the youth in hysterics?Using his music to steer it, sharing his views and his merits,But there's a huge interference, they're saying you shouldn't hear it,Maybe it's hatred I spew, maybe it's food for the spirit,Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish,But I'm debated, disputed, hated, and viewed in Americaas a mother****** drug addict, like you didn't experiment?That's when you start to stare at who's in the mirrorand see yourself as a kid again, and you get embarrassedAnd I got nothing to do but make you look stupid as parentsYou ****** do-gooders - it's too bad you couldn't do good at marriage!And do you have any clue what I had to do to get here? I don'tthink you do so stay tuned and keep your ears glued to the stereo."And here is Lose Yourself:"His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy,There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghettiHe's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready."He's telling a story! Notice how doesn't need (very rarely) "filler" words that do not make sense but only fit in to make something rhyme. This is in contrast to Recovery where he uses them, unfortunately, in a large amount of songs. 'Without a doubt undoubtedly?'My second point is that his song no longer have original concepts behind them. In this case I will use the song 'Stan' to illustrate this. In Stan, he raps from a viewpoint of an obsessed fan, who writes letters to Eminem but gets no response. This drives him to murder his pregnant girlfriend and himself.In another song, 'Cleaning out my Closet,' he lashes out at his mother, explaining how she abused him as a child. This is far more original than his Recovery songs, in which the only original concept he uses is in '25 to Life,' where he still fails to emotionally deliver the song, thanks to his decline in lyricism and his frequent use of "filler" rhymes.I conclude from this that Eminem can no longer rap and only shouts his lyrics in a repetitive and emotionless manner. It is up to my opponent to show otherwise.
Djarum Black Cigarettes are better than any other Cigarettes.

This is a random debate. And I don't intend it to be incredibly serious. Djarum Black's though are amazing and they smoke well. They have that sweet tip of the cigarette and they are packed really thick. They are cloves too. Who can deny cloves in a cigarette? It's slow to the smoke so you can get more with this cigarette. It's not short and thin like a normal cigarette, and it's not heavy and massive like a cigar. It's the in between version of a cigarette and a cigar; the cigare'!
It is morally permissible to kill one innocent person to save the lives of many innocent people.

I affirm the resolution: It is morally permissible to kill one in order to save others To clarify this case I will use the following definition: Morally permissible: that act of judging in a circumstance to conform the right behavior Kill: To take way one's life; cause death Innocent: free from evil motives or moral wrongs Happiness: absence of pain and up bearings Save: to rescue or prevent harm or injury Society: a highly structured human organization upheld by hierarchy which furbishes protection, security, and national identity for its members. Value: The Welfare of Society My value is the welfare of the society. For the better of the society, which supports people as individuals, it is important to ensure the prosperity of it. Value Criterion: High value of Life My value criterion is the protection of lives. For society to continue, it is important to protect the people. It also ensures the wellbeing of society. Without the high value towards lives, society will disarray and fall apart. A lawless confusion may start. Contential 1: Positive results A. More lives are protected It is highly likely for the negative and positive sides to lose lives. However, on the positive side, only one killed will offer the chance of life to the majority of the people. By not acting immediately, there is a higher chance for lives to be forfeited. Since all lives are equal, saving more will be better than not too. Life comes with rights. Therefore, people's right to life protection is maximized. B. Promotion of happiness The affirmative increases the amount of happiness for others. By happiness, meaning no physical pain. Since the majority people will be saved, their families' sorrow will perish. People have many connections with others, as shown among friends, families, and aquantainces. Therefore, by having the majority survive, sorrow will not increase. C. For the greater good Jeremy Bentham once quoted "It is the greatest good to the greatest number of people which is the measure of right or wrong" He believes that final results will affect people the most. By protecting the majority, the majority will carry out the society's will. I stand by to hear your debate.

In his last rap the president spit some trashy crap, Pretended to be black and in general sounded like he was on crack, I think he had a fuking lyrical asthma attack. While this was going on I made the anthem to a sound track; earned a stack, made love to his mother from the back; and proceeded to hit the sack. B!tch you’re glad I’m back, struggling to rhyme nearly gave you a heart attack, your writings are the odorous definition of a nut sack. Sh^t, don’t mean to back track, I’m just shocked by the slack and the lack of proper rap. Just hold on a minute I’m about to pull out my melodic strap, bust a cap, make it yap and wake you up in a cold snap, look down maybe you’ll notice you’ve got the clap. Your raps are those of a dumb sap, cross Me, you’ll take a hefty dirt nap. You’re mother really loves to take rides on my burly lap, I put it in her wet flap filled her with my cervical cap, ah sh!t, now I guess I’ve got the clap. Call me Mr. Crabs Call me taxi cabs because Im giving you a ride straight to your nonexistent future, after this the doctor will have to examine your cranial suture.

I accept.....cough cough....Mikal made me go first, so he could get the last word, But I’ll make it clear now, his plan sails no smoother than the flight path of a dead bird I mean, is this ish not absurd? Even I would be a little bit perturbed! The president resorts to child’s play to get his own way? Luckily for him, I’ve leeway to spare But to be honest, he’s a bit of a dumbass for even attempting to dare. I have a tendency to leave people bare, I inhibit repair. I mean it’s only fair You challenge me and you will meet nothing, but permanent despair, that of which, There is no compare. But don’t be scared, even though I’m only a novice, at least I’m one at the head of my chair. Mikal is thinking now; contemplating and awaiting pancakes in his mom’s downstairs baseme… I mean Lair. Trying to clean all that white sh^t out of his hair. Mikal I’m going to turn you into my B!tch and my concessionaire Kinda like how I did your mom in our affair, except without the remains of her cervical smear After this you’ll have no more career, you’ll be begging to have my autograph and a congenial beer Raps like mine are 100 time more than rare. I just hope you’re religious because to pull through this, you are going to need a few prayers. I’ve seen Mikal try to rhyme before, but he just sounds stressed. He had to leave the site 3 or 5 times under duress. To be honest it sounds like you’re just depressed. If only you had a non-fictional woman to caress. We’re all starting to notice that you’re a little suppressed We’re starting to wonder if you were a victim of Catholic Molest Stuff anymore pieces of chicken down your chest, you’ll go into cardiopulmonary arrest We get it man, You’ve got Zest But this eating habit of yours is simply unblessed Do yourself a favor and just try to avoid the downtown Nacho fests. Now, let’s change this up! Not to be abrupt! but Mikal my beats are corrupt. Yep they’re dirty as fuk, Taller than a 10 foot truck, oh yea and unlike you’re mom, They’re worth more than a buck, now let’s get this straight Your raps work on luck, your votes come from fanboys, who are just suckin’ your nuts you’re are god damn clutz, who messes around with sluts Just kidding you’re too busy contorting your filthy hentai nuts, You’ve got zero guts while I’ve got hundreds of cuntz And if we’re talking weed, I’ve got hundreds of blunts Just kidding; drugs are for chumpz Mikal I’m The atheist DDO God, and its funny because I’m not even a Mod My rhymes reign from hell like the wrath of Jihad You’re an ignorant sod, with a flabby, fat bod I’m what happens when you mix Tupac with G.I.Joe I’m your worst Fe Fy Foe Crush you like you’re Humpty Dumpty though Hell, I’ll make it a show I’m not your regular Joe I steal the flo’ I make that doe Sh*t by the time this rap is done, I’LL be president of DDO

He will pass on Round 4 to even out the rounds. Failure to type anything other than "pass" in the final round will result in a full ff. Voting will work as follows Con R1- Pro R2 Con R2 - Pro R3 Con R3 - Pro R4 Then Con will pass his R4 Above judges shall vote on the rounds and whom they thought won that round. There are 3 rounds total, meaning this can go one of two ways. Either a 3 - 0 or a 2 - 1. This is select a winner, so award the person the victory that edged the two rounds. Things to Look for when judging (1) Depth (2) Strength of Bars (3) Personals (4) Punch Lines (5) Schemes (6) Flow (7) Jokes (8) Lyrics (9) Word Play (10) Aggression None of these are in any particular order, and it will be subjective but that is normally how rap battles are judged minus flow because we are typing. If you need an example of what a real rap battle is take a look at the first round in the video I posted. The battle starts at 9 and goes to like 14 for the first round if you want to see a real battle with some good line. That first round is legendary . http://www.youtube.com...
Gun Control Should be Abolished in the USA

We should NOT keep our guns: These are a rebuttel of what my opponent has previously said: 1. Most Violent crimes are committed with guns (in fact over 68% as of 2012) thus; restricting gun ownership will likely reduce the number of such crimes. (committed of course by criminals) 2. Any circumstance that does not involve guns will of course cause a lower amount of casualties. So my opponent is saying that he would rather give people the opportunity to kill and destroy, by allowing more people in our country, to own guns. 3. The 2nd amendment of the Constitution is directed more towards militia, eg. The National Guard, rather than individuals. So individuals should not own guns. 4. To say that a person who is in need of psychiatric help, will always be able to find a gun is completely stupid. Because you say that even if guns are taken away, then people will still attain them. But then you gave the example of Sandy Hook. In which the killer took the guns from his mom. If guns were banned like I am saying, she would not have those guns in the first place. Therefore preventing this terrible disaster. 5. You say that to ban guns is breaking the 2nd amendment. But the 2nd amendment as passed by congress, says that it is more directed toward the militia. Known in our modern time as the military.

If you look at comments, you will see that before accepting this I directly warned the instigator that he is arguing for pro but has assigned himself as con.It is unfortunately the case that he replied "I know I am con." I then let him ten minutes and finally decided to accept.At present all of his arguments are in favour of pro, he claims to be con and, as such, this incredulous vessel shall assert all of con's arguments as the pro's... (with better spelling and grammar as an edit)There are plenty of reasons we should keep guns around.1 We use guns to protect ourselves from criminals who would use them regardless of if they were banned or not.2 The reason some countries don't attack us is because over 85% of the American population owns guns.3 Banning guns for civilians while allowing for hunters will be very difficult to justify for con.4 If we were to only abolish the right to own guns for people who need psychiatric help, then they will still find a way to get a gun. (take for instance, the shooting at Sandy Hook, the killer used only his mother's handguns)5 You are breaking the 2nd amendment.

There are plenty of reasons we should keep guns around. 1 We use guns to protect ourselves. 2 The reason some countries don't attack us is because over 85% of the American population owns guns. 3 If we do abolish guns, then what will happen to people who hunt? Will they be denied that right, even though they are only using their gun to find food? 4 If we were to only abolish the right to own guns for people who need phsyciatric help, then they will still find a way to get a gun. (take for instance, the shooting at Newtown, the killer used only his mother's handguns) 5 If we were to abolish guns, would that include the military? Because if you do abolish guns for those in the military, you are breaking the 2nd amendment. (As passed by congress: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed") 6 Not only does it say that the militia (military) is allowed to own guns, but it also says that it is the right of the people. 7 If we ban guns, we would have the same problem as the UK. As soon as guns were banned, crimes commited with guns doubled. 8 The tighter we put restrictions on guns, the less complying our society will be with these new laws. 9 Are we the people really trusting enough of our government, to hand over all of our guns to them? 10 We have the right, the privellage, and the self-restraint to own guns. It is a law that we will not allow to be broken, and will protect with everything we have.
