Pokemon Rap Battles Season 2: Seeding round

Okay, we're going to kick this off with the seeding round. The way this works is that you write (and optionally record. However I'd highly advise that you do so because that is half the effort) an entirely self promotional rap. The voting thread will be entirely poll based and the top two highest votes will go on opposite ends of the bracket, 3rd and 4th will go on the second to last brackets, and so on. Currently we have 23 entrees, so if anyone would like to jump in now is the time to do so! Here is a list of our current contestants:

Good luck to all of our contestants. You have until May 28th to record your raps. Unlike x5, I will actually be sticking to the deadline so make sure you get it in before then!
 
Speaking of which, I'd like to note that it is okay to change pokemon mid-round because you aren't actually facing anyone.

Can we establish some sort of time limit here, I can't imagine anyone going over 2:30, and the first round is always difficult to slog through. Also how is voting going to be after the self-promotional round? Because if it's just one vote for one song I can see many of the bottom 70% of raps easily ignored.

Anyways goodluck and have fun to all for this opening round. I'm trying to fix together a track to work off of.
 
If we put in a time limit I believe it should be 2:00. Of course you can go over like 30 seconds or something if you have an intro or some such. Also you will be able to vote for more than one person at a time.
 
and my power has grown
Now I'm Ursa Major I can shred you to the bone
My burn ignites my Facade, bashing through dem walls
And if a Ghost comes in, I Crunch them in the balls

My power is Unnerving; it
Oh snapple the crack to my pop, looks like papa bear is gonna put a SQUEEZE on the competition!

n' in my sleep, make them pussy niggas run Dish out so much status, call me the Cripple Master
Hit-and-run with Volt Sw
OOOH but we've really got a heated match cooking up in this here!!

No way Ult

/me resurrect



Fuck intros, let's not try to do those unless you have a theme this time around >.<

Why is soundcloud so fucking slow ughhhhh
 
I have no idea how I can compete with you guys.
Just come up with some stuff and make them rhyme. This is a preliminary round, and in later rounds you'll have an opponent which will give you more material. Just write some stuff. It'll be tight.

I realized I don't care enough about Togekiss to make a decent rap about it.
Just write anything. You can change pokemon next round. If you don't come up with something, you'll be DQ'd.
 
Here's the crap I wrote for Togekiss!

Hello, my name is Togekiss
Everywhere I go, I spread sheer bliss
Because I represent the Jubilee
Have I got special powers? Well, two or three

First I paralyze you so you can't attack
Then I make you flinch so you don't fight back
When you see me battle, you say "that's a hack!"
I'm afraid your thinking is on the wrong track

It's because of my ability- Serene Grace
Don't worry, I won't rub it in your face
But in a battle, it lets me choose the pace
And compared to me, Jirachi's a disgrace

High above the clouds, you can see me soar
I will stay away whenever there is a war
'cause violence is the thing I most abhor
But if you attack me, then you're done for
 
Here's my Forretress rap
Keep in mind that it's the most retarded thing ever.
Also, there's an intro, sorry. I couldn't rhyme "bitches" with "Forretress" no matter how hard I tried.

Yo
What up bitches
I’m the original spiker
And the name’s Forretress
I got 90 attack
And 75 HP
You not impressed yet?
I also got 140 D
That’s defense motherfuckers
You ain’t crackin this shell
My typing is amazing
So I’ll see you in hell
I’m part steel type
But ground don’t scare me
I’m also a bug
But dem rocks ain’t crushin’ me
So it’s no wonder why
I’ve been OU since day one
Cause when I start settin up spikes
You ain’t havin any fun
It doesn’t stop there, nigga
Cuz I got toxic spikes too
And I’ll bust a spiky cap
In yo ass out of the blue
I’m a slow motherfucker
But I have huge gyro balls
To go with my huge dick
So go make some calls
To Foretress!
 
Just gonna post this rough version up in case I can't finalize and get a chance to record before the deadline (hopefully I will!).

They call me BastioDon Corleone for a reason, nerds
Cuz if you mess with one Don, then you get the whole herd
You say I'll faint to those weak-ass fists?
We'll see where their fightin' spirit goes
When I drop a Rapidash head
in their bed
for them to kiss

I'm as sturdy as a rock
and got nerves of steel
Even the strongest attack
I ain't gonna feel
And supposin' that it does manage to make it through
These defenses that go straight up, right through the roof
Then I'll hit right back, a shiny Metal Burst
And then, fool, you'll be feeling your worst!

Those earthquakes ain't nothin when I control magnetism itself,
And Surf ain't nothin' when I Wide Guard myself
When I line up alongside my bros and my hos
There ain't nothin' that can break through the Great Wall o' Sinnoh

Bitch I'm back from the grave
To be Byron's fave
Took a sixty five-million year long nap
To give ya'll a chance to get off Aggron's lap
Cuz I'm the real deal
I'm the best rock/steel
And anyone that says differently
Can go ahead and take a Fissure right from me
