    logo_studioliveSedona AZ (January 21, 2013) – Studio Live presents Sedona’s first ever Rap Battle Saturday, February 2nd at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $10.00 general admission, doors open at 7:00 pm. Eight local youth rap artists are going head to head to compete for a cash prize, for the first ever Sedona-based rap battle.

    To compete in the rap battle, each battler must be able to consistently hold a freestyle flow(a “stream” of rap) for at least 2 minutes. Sedona youth rappers who are not yet signed up can contact James Gould at jamesagould@yahoo.com to inquire about battling.

    What is a rap battle?

    20130121_studioliveRap battling is a hip-hop based competition between rappers. There are many variations in the competition.

    In this rap battle the competitors will be competing one-on-one with freestyles that include flips in later rounds. Freestyling in this case simply means not using pre-written bars(rap lines), coming up with lyrics on the spot. “Flips” are replies to what the other rapper said in his bars. For example if one rapper compared himself to Superman, the other rapper could compare himself to kryptonite. It should be noted that, due to historical precedents, rappers often compete in a bragadocious manner. Braggadocio is the art of bragging excessively about oneself.

    Each “rap battle” will have two rappers competing. For the first round of rap battles there will be two one-minute rounds for each battler in each battle. So Rapper A raps for 1 minute, then Rapper B raps for 1 minute, then Rapper A goes again, then Rapper B goes again. At the end of each battle the judges will judge the rappers based on skill, flow, complexity of rhymes, and general-likability. One rapper will be eliminated, the other will move onto the next round. For the second and third rounds there will be three one-minute rounds for each battler in each battle.

    For more information please contact the Sedona Performing Arts Alliance/Studio Live at (928)282-0549. Tickets are available online at www.studiolivesedona.com or at the Studio Live box office located at 215 Coffeepot Drive in West Sedona.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
