[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

you wrong for this one

 

[NoMorePie]

My head was bopping more for trick willy

 

[Tj Bronson]

I dont think I've heard either of these

Trick I guess

 

[Reality Check]

Going with Swerve. Booker's adlibs bring the other one down.

 

[Novembruh]

Why are you like this.

Who hurt you.

 

[BrehWyatt]

This bullshyt was bound to come sometime


I'm going with Big Pressure (Remix) because Trick's song and entrance as a whole requires Booker's ad-libs and crowd participation to hit the way it does.


Trick has the better entrance. Swerve has the better theme song when taking the remix/his current one into account.

 

[Novembruh]

On topic: Swerve's theme was what I was talking about in the OG thread about a theme that falls apart the second the lyrics come in. Flash Garments with that hook carried the whole song. There are zero words in Trick's actual theme and it still goes harder as a whole because... well...

Swerve's verse was a net negative on the song. If it had been the beat and the hook looped it'd cruise to the third 3rd round off the strength of nikkas seeing Nana's dancing in the mind's eyes (Pause just in case) But... the second the 'bars' hit... nah.

We Locked In outchea.

top rop catch a dive


i dont sweat but i drip

 

[Silkk]

Awwwww man. So I gotta negate the dance and Booker’s ad libs to do it fairly


Gotta come back to it

Big Pressure requires Nana’s dance to hit the way it does too though.

@2CT How many of Bray themes made the cut?

I know a lot of people prefer his first for nostalgia reasons but his last two were especially the fiend

Fair point. Advance both to the next round then, hell.

@2CT didn't have to do this

Sitting with it, I'm trying to quantify which extra feature has less of an impact: Nana's dance or the ad-libs/crowd chants.

Same tbh


I may have to go Swerve cause Trick’s theme is just a Drake Trophies rip off, Even though its fire.

And it needs the crowd chant and Booker’s adlibs vs Swerve just needing one addition

I like to look at it as ability to be replicated.
Trick could go to a new city every week and the chants - if they catch on - will be there waiting for him.
If Nana ain't reup the contract, get an illness or pull his shoulder, the dance ain't happenin.

But also... you could loop Trick's entrance for a 5 minute Mania walkout and it wouldn't lose the crowd as much as Swerve's at Wembley would fall apart the minute his actual voice hit the speakers

That said, this nikka @2CT ain't have to do this Layla/Naomi bullshyt. Mans coulda let one of these skate past Sammy or Test or something and at least let this meet up in the second round. But this man be chucking out contenders in round 1 by running them into buzzsaws and letting fukkery make it to the second round for easy sweeps by legit themes I'd like to lodge a formal complaint. He can't keep getting away with this!!!
