Thread for nominating verses you think should be considered for classic status & brought into LA's Hall of Fame. When nominating please consider the criteria & state which criteria you feel it meets. The better quality of explanation to support this the more likely it is to be successful. http://www.lyricalassault.co.uk/forum/topic41427_post422128.html#422128" rel="nofollow - CLASSICS NOMINATION CRITERIA Feel free to feedback any additional criteria you feel we've missed. -------------

http://www.lyricalassault.co.uk/forum/blood-bondage-gateway-drugs_topic42025.html" rel="nofollow - Blood&Bondage: Gateway Drugs --by Neek Reason: I think the "Blood & Bondage" series signifies a significant moment in the site's history. Perhaps not for the most positive of reasons, but one thing is for certain-- it got people talking. Some saw the series as disgusting, others simply viewed it as art, censorship was questioned and debated over, and beefs were started because of it; some of which are still brewing to this day. In any case Neek's contribution to B&B exemplified all the creativity and lyrical potential that the series possessed within it's core concept. More importantly he wrote it in a manner that allowed those not familiar with the source material to still fully grasp and understand what was happening in his version with absolute clarity. More concisely -- he made it uniquely his own. And unique That's exactly what it was. Read the story. I implore you guys to do so. And I promise after you do we'll all be able to agree on the fact it's a verse that's unlike anything we're use to seeing in the OM (on this site or any). It's wildly original, masterfully worded, incredibly humorous, and insanely well written. From start to finish it grabs your attention and never let's it go. There aren't many topicals I read I would give such high praise to, but this one... Just read it! Anyway, I'm nominating it for Classics. Peace... |

I would like to nominate http://www.lyricalassault.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?tid=41922" rel="nofollow - Alicewonder - The Colour Gradient Of Past . Reason: The way it's written it nothing short of amazing. It combines high level of lyricism with beautiful poetic metaphors and contain a lot of depth hidden behind subtle, yet abstract layers. She portrays a vivid story that sucks you in until the end and leaves you with questions. That is all. ------------- #Bananas |

Guys, I've been reflecting on this & I think what would be great is if we did a 'people's choice' hall of fame induction (similar to how we ran the yearly awards). If people could take some time to nominate some verses over the next few weeks or so, I'll pull together a shortlist based on that, we'll have a poll and the winner will be inducted into the Hall of Fame. I'll probably whack all the nominations onto the Spotlight board as well. I was thinking that maybe we do this every 6 months. So we have 2 classics inducted via People's Choice every year from now. Obviously we'd review that to make sure it was still tough to get into classics. -------------
