Found this CD at a thrift store a few weeks back. Gave it a listen a few days ago and now it lives in my car. Didn't know what to expect, but this shit slaps. Absolute banger.

Chosen Masters vs Vic Mignogna: It Should Happen

You're listening to one of Chosen's entrance themes! Support Chosen NOW! Chosen Masters, the world renowned cosplay-adventurer, has been remembered for many of his guest faceoffs at conventions. He has beat Todd Haberkorn at NekoCon 2014, the formerly-unstoppable guild that is Fairy Tail at ShobouCon 2015, the band of heroes known as Eien Strife at AMA15, and both Erica Mendez and David Vincent at NekoCon 2015. But if there's one guest in the Anime Con line that Chosen needs to challenge, its has the one VA (voice actor) probably every fan of anime and voicing ever is well aware of. Victor Joseph Mignogna, or simply Vic Mignogna. That's what the President and Chairman of the Chosen Masters Company, Tyson Kale, has been discussing about earlier this week. Both their flagship superstar, Chosen, and Vic made an appearance at Anime Mid Atlantic 2017, which is nearly two weeks ago now. Chosen first crossed paths with him during an autograph session, and their time with each other was, while small, quite an warm first-encounter. Chosen didn't sought to have a duel with Vic at AMA17 mainly because, believe it or not, he wasn't thinking about it. "All he wanted was to meet Victor for the first time; he wasn't really interesting in battling him out like he did with his close friend Todd years ago," Tyson stated, "however, days after he met him, he started gaining more and more interest in Vic to the point where he vowed that the next time they'll meet, it will be one of Chosen's best moments. And that was when, he started preparing himself for the next AMA where Mignogna shows up." Last Monday night, Tyson had a word with Chosen and asked what does he think of Vic and how possible would a future fan-to-guest roleplay-styled live action live matchup against him be. This is what he stated: "Well, even to this day the warm feeling I got from meeting him's still in me; he's a sweet, subtle man and I get why he's so important to many of us; even labeled as a big figure in Christianity which I'm more-than-words still a part of; but if you ask me, I do think it would be so cool and badass at the same time to duel him. I may not win it, but if anything that sounds like the greatest battle I ever had period. If I'm gonna scratch another major rich and make more history, then I got a year or two to prepare for when it finally comes." When the official Google+ Chosen Masters channel asked who would win, it seems that there are more votes for Vic than there are for Chosen. But hey, remember when everyone thought the Undertaker was going to beat up Brock Lesnar but Brock Lesnar ended up winning? Oh wait, that was bad memories. And besides, the polls was all opinionated as always. Chosen does a chance, but we still need to wait until it is confirmed that next year or the following that Chosen Masters vs Vic Mignogna will be a thing in some way, as the idea is still in potential.

Chosen’s Timeless Moments: Chosen rap battles an anime fan

This happened back at Anime Mid-Atlantic 2015 and back when Chosen was a heel (a bad guy). While Chosen was heading on his way to challenge roleplay rock band Eien Strife, a fan comes up to him and starts roasting him. Little did he know, he made one big mistake.

[Fan] Yo Chosen! [Chosen M] What you got here man? [Fan] Man, Chosen, your stuff is wack You're just a white boy, who thinks he's black You ain't the real deal You need to get your butt down to the show to get yourself a free meal And what makes you think you can beat Eien Strife? You're just a poor white boy with no life! Aw Chosen, don't cry and pout Looks like Eien Strife’s gonna knock you out! [Chosen M] Yo. That freestyle was wack I couldn't wait for it to end I got no life, but you got a boyfriend Yo whatcha gonna do? Trying to battle out with me Rip you in front of your crew like it didn't happen to me The difference is, I'm real and you're fony My style's fat, like Siragusa, Tony Yo what you gonna do, you can't hurt me A threat from both sides of the plate like Eddie Murray But don't worry I get straight up in your face It's Chosen Mii, 'bout to blow the roof of the place There's no mercy, so don't worry, I'm dirty I'll bleed you 'till you burgundy, what? Yo, you can't hurt me I physically murdered Jeez Yo it's absurd to me you can't see this With telescopic lenses I'm cracy like twenty inch rims on them Benzes You don't think I can rap? You calling me black? What's up with that? Yo I teach you straight how to act Yo this is ill this Chosen Mii’s committee You from Hampton Roads but I straight run the city Down and gritty, yo it's time to get dirty Wave your hands up I don't care if you're four or thirty! Wazzup! (Crowd cheering)

Yo, that's right That's right baby Cause I'm ill like a sick metaphore Got the crowd chanting Chosen like they want some more Yo, hand in front of my face you can't see me You probably heard me rip MC's on 92.3 That's right, hold up your hands wave 'em high That was a nice diss but it was a wack ass try You can't fly with me, CHO-SEN-MII AYY! It's a freestyle rap baby we don't play I come of the dome like every day Come at you from both sides like lesbian three ways What up!

(Crowd cheers even more)

YES! I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE REALLY BAD ASS BAND THAT PERFORMED AT MECHACON TWO YEARS AGO IS COMING BACK FOR THE CAN'S 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY! I AM SO HAPPY AND EXCITED I CANNOT. FUCK YEAH, EIEN STRIFE!

Eien Strife is coming to Jaycon 5! Who's excited?

 hey so I dunno how many of you are into anime conventions and that whole scene, but if you've never had the pleasure of seeing Eien Strife perform at one then you've been missing out. They're a really cool little band, and always give a great show. They're basically a cosplay band, they perform as their own characters with their own world/storyline going on, and their songs are all about their journey to save their world and stuff. It sounds kinda funny but it's awesome and they're so cool and chill to talk to. They're only like 190 bucks away from making their goal, but there's less than 2 days left to donate. If anyone out there likes them, or is interested, do them a favor and help out and donate a few bucks, or just reblog and spread the word?

Now playing this song. Honestly this was a fun band and I'm glad they performed at MechaCon. Best live show I've ever seen probably. Also, it's accurate to me right now.

Zenkaikon is happy to announce cosplay “adventure rock” band Eien Strife as a musical guest for Zenkaikon 2013!

Eien Strife brings to life the story of Terina, a dense forest world that is unknowingly facing its extinction. The four characters of the party — Cheydra, Raien, Lyren and Kale will join together and perform an intense high energy concert that is a truly unique experience both musically and visually. The members of Eien Strife have traveled all over North America and parts of Japan, and now are planning to share their story while delivering a performance that the audience at Zenkaikon will never forget!

Eien Strife will be hosting a live webcam chat at 8:45pm EST tonight (Wednesday, October 17, 2012). Anyone is welcome to join the chat, which will include announcements, Q&A, and more! You can access the chat from here: http://eien-strife.com/chat.html

Eien Strife will be performing two unique concerts and participating in several panels at Zenkaikon!
