This was a nice battle. Honestly i was expecting more. One team had a nice flow/readability in their bars. The other team seemed a bit rough round the edges, not so polished. Feel one teams punches made more impact than the others due to the readability. Fairs in, i'm out. Good luck to all. Voted: Yes (Hidden)

Yo, this battle was solid, but not as good as I was expecting, given the names involved. Anyway, I felt one team here had a much lower readability factor, and was using way too many slants and general bad wording/rhyming and forcing more shit than they should have been. However, I also felt that team was a little bit harder-hitting with the punchlines. Since I try to avoid basing my voting off of one factor, and look at the verse as a whole, this was a hard choice, because I wasn't sure which one was more important to me. After several reads, I think that, all things combined, one was slightly better, here. Mid 7 - Low 7. Voted: Yes (Hidden)

This was poppin, Team Bleu the flow was choppy first half, had to stop a few times to catch the rhythm, bars were pretty nice, opener was tight. Kept us in the dark personal scheme was nice, had me thinking. Flow improved second half, the "rekindle" bar was dope. Team Ill, same as your opponents the flow felt a lil choppy first half, had to stop to catch it. almanac wp was forced which ruined a good personal bar. The second half (Rupts?) was smooth reading but not much impact. Charlie Hebdo was too obvious, but cold cases & underscore was tight. Real tough one to call, ultimately i felt ones verse just hit a little harder. Dope. Voted: Yes (Hidden)

Good battle here, felt the winner's consistency was the reason they took this. Solid punches all the way through, hit after hit. Some multis were a little choppy and off in the beginning, but it definitely picked up also. Loser's creativity lacked in some parts, same problem w/ the multis also. A couple unmatched multis that threw off the flow in some areas. Also had some dope punches in there also. Leaning this way/ w consistency and more hard hitting punches. Good battle to both though, fair's in. Voted: Yes (Hidden)

Had to go with the team that had more impactful punches. Can't really say too much without swaying. Good luck to the winner. Voted: Yes (Hidden)

First I'd like to too my hat to all 4 participants, cuz this battle was FIIIIRREE!!!! Both teams came correct. I awarded .5-1 point for a good Punchline or wordplay & had it 8 to 6.5 for my winners. Here's the expo... One team had a lot if Wordplay in there verse, which scored them some extra points in the final tally. I liked that that they plenty if Multi's & were fairly complex with their schemes. Although there was a played punch in there that I was like "ehhhh" when I read it (the whole: looked at his resume & No bodies found like Cold cases).... The other team had punchlines galore, took some good angles with relevant personal jabs & had really good Punchline setups. I felt their verse wasn't as complex, but more consistent in regards to punches... Bleu/Manhattan highlights: "Wouldn't see the light of day/kept us all in the dark" was tough, "Down right up & Left/ lost his direction" was dope too, I also liked the "Bars been dated" & the "mission abort kids".... ILLoKWENT/Erupt highlights: "Hatten the heir/college graduation" was fire, "All Man Acts/Statistics" was dope wordplay, "Dead at arrival/Morticians old patients", "Razorbacks/bunch of bores" & "words between gaps/underscores" were all solid...

Jesus this was a killer, but still very clear in my opinion. My losers here caught their L because of, mostly, their odd execution and reaching of wordplay/setups to make their punches more concrete. My winners here got this based upon direct and clear out of the box thinking in their content and structure, very witty & creative concepts, direct personal's mixed into hard hitting punches and most of all a tender fluidity which made it very smooth to read. No hate intended, great spar. Voted: Yes (Hidden)
