[Co_Town_Michael]

Should add in some things to make this work NCAA tourney style.

1.) 16 rappers per region (South, West, Midwest, East)

2.) Rappers on the same label can't match up until the round of 16. (Unless it's impossible to avoid this)

just like teams in the same conf. can't play each other until the sweet 16

3.) Only rappers as individuals or in a group. not both.

(No Outkast and Andre 3000 as two separate choices)

4.) Unbias seeding

----

My 1seed nominations are

Jay-Z (East)

Eminem (Midwest)

Tupac (West)

OutKast (South)

that would be a crazy east bracket, but you already know whose coming out the west, midwest and south, I say even it out so the sweet 16 and elite 8 are competitive in all brackets and more chances for upsets

Yeah the east is wide open.

I can already see Eminem vs. Kanye in the round of 8 for the Midwest Regional final

Pac vs. Snoop or Cube for the West Regional Final

And the south is wide open if you ask me.

But it should be like that.

The better seeds SHOULD have an easier path than the others to the title.

 

[its....JOHN B]

it will come down to 3000 vs scarface in the south, im down to do it either way but there will definitly be more bums in the tourny and legends left off if we just do regions instead of mixing it up

 

[usmarin3]

That bracket shit wouldn't work because to be honest i was struggling to think of good rappers from the south and midwest beyond the usual suspect. The east is easily the best region when it comes to rap and history

I could set up these brackets perfect to set up great matchups from the 1st round all the way to the final 4, but I would have to mix up all the regions, and of course there will be more east coast mc's on there
