ABW's 2018 CYOL: Draft

Sion said:
Goldie I could still post my art.

Man I think because of the new rules and the way the judging went cats just dropped out. I think cats wanted it to be like the old games. Some of us were PMing each other. Don't let this nigga Mooney win like this. He doesn't deserve it.

Lol @Sion i been waiting for you to post up all day fam! I'm open to the competition, you just need to show up.

I only know CYOL in this format. I don't know no other way.

Yea, original rules ftw!

I think this might of been the fastest game of CYOL in its history.

I mean thats good because the game wasn't just lingering on but at the same time I think there were some drop outs because some folks really needed more time to get their shit together but instead of saying it they agreed to the deadline that was given
 
I was impressed by everyone's contributions to CYOL and I can't wait for the next season. We have a great host of talent on this site.
 
I got you tonight bruh, Have to wrap some things up but after that im on it
 
Aight so is the game gonna continue you or you just wanna see how things would of went had this match up gone down? I'll still drop mine regardless
 
Judges ain't even saying nothing. I want to see what folks say. I unofficially won... officially I want the challenge so I can get better for next go round.

I think judges should give their votes and it should officially count. I said the day before if I can't post my covers on the day I was supposed to then to drop me out and I did manage to get them up.

If a person really believes they're better let the judges score it. I wouldn't ever want to win off a technicality unless the person verbally stated they quit. All the work a nigga put in and niggas want a freebie ? Nah a vote should count because no one scored it.

I never wanted a freebie, I wanted the critique
 
Not sure if this a critique but I'd cop the Teyana, Jada and Trey off top. Dope covers and tracklisting. Looks crazy offical

The Chris joint, nice cover but wouldn't waste my money on it

Wu...best cover out the bunch. Super cohesive. Looks like a dope nostalgic project but I ain't the biggest Wu fan. I think the tour would do more than album sales. That alone makes it the best one dropped

Alright this I can respect.

Let's wait for the judges to score it and see what they say. I too want to see how they score it and what they say about it.

At least allow me that fam

Preciate the input
 
Sales: Ill Will Records looking at the labels side by side its easy to see that Ill Will takes this one. I don't see anyone on Infamous Allies being able to compete with Eminem, J. Cole, Nas, etc.. not today.

Critical Acclaim: Ill Will Records takes this one also because not only are their projects gonna get a lot of love on and offline but theres gonna be some artist snagging a couple of awards along the way as well.

Longevity: Ill Will Records has youth on their side. J.Cole, KRIT, Joey BadA$$, Miguel, etc.. they aint going anywhere. Some of the artist on Infamous are still putting out music but its not as frequently as it once was unfortunately and that alone lets you know that they probably won't be around years from now.

Album covers: Ill Will Records all day. I've said it before and i'll say it again @Sion is a problem when it comes to cover designs. He could easily troll the masses with these covers and have them thinking these are actual projects set to drop. Thats how official his shit be looking. Infamous Records stand out cover of course was the Wu Tang joint, I really like that bruh. Like what you did with the Young Chris & Teyana covers too.

WINNER - Ill Will Records

@Mooney for this to be your first game you did a hell of a job bruh. You stuck with this shit until the very end and you just went head to head with a CYOL legend in what im gonna assume is the finals. The thing that hurt you in my opinion (and I think I said this in your other match up that I judged) is that you built your label around artist that you liked instead of artist that could of helped you secure more categories. Your label really had a nostalgic feel to it which is cool but nostalgia won't win you these categories whenever you're goin up against a label that has current top charting artist. In the end that was the MAIN thing that hurt you in my opinion.

Sometimes you gotta step outta your comfort zone when it comes to this game bruh. I remember when the draft was wrapping up and one of you niggas said something about not having any artist and I pointed out the fact that Post Malone was still a free agent. A couple of yall laughed and I mean I did say it to be funny but at the same time dude is out here moving units and unless you want your label to be built around a certain region/have a certain sound then thats the kind of artist you wanna sign. With that said, I feel like If you can step out of your comfort zone a bit then you'll be good to go.
