Hey folks!

Absolutely nothing surprising happened this week, as all the higher seeds handily defeated the lower ones. The only thing worth noting was that after Monday’s very good turnout (174 votes), Tuesday’s (Boogie Down Productions vs. Young MC) only garnered 96, which I believe is the lowest of this tournament. (Homer: “So far.”) Rap versus rap not interesting? Seeds too close together? Just too tuckered after voting for The Stone Roses? Who can say!
