This shit better be HEATED

Votes in..

Blue had the opener, Razor around and under construction with no glaring misses. A consistent verse with some highlights.

Rai had Detective and bomb plan and ones pants down was a good concept but he didn't do anything clever with it.

Blue with more hard hitting personals highlights and more consistency.

Whoever wins here will surely win the Summer 2018 tourney no doubt about that..

good battle. keeping it brief, felt ones punches from concept to flip was more natural and less far fetched in trying to make the connection. winners wasnt too spectacular but did enough imo.. loser had some interesting concepts but wording made it feel forced at times and the flips didnt quite connect as easily as loser.. 

Ones best line didn't rhyme . But the idea was outstanding. Both had some great ideas and flow . I liked the battle. Wasn't as dope as I expected. After reading it's like both of you felt you had it in the bag and got light . One was more relative with lines connecting. Punches wasn't amazing tho . Winners had the best bar of the battle and flowed well fv jn

Bleu is right: this should have been the finals. With that said, after one read, I have a clear winner. One was far ahead of the other in terms of both creativity and execution. I greatly enjoyed reading the clever punchlines in my winner's verse, while my loser didn't provide a truly boring read but simply wasn't up to snuff. Good luck to whomever advances. Fair's in.

I thought rai had Whittier punches. enjoyed reading, flowed more smooth than v1. Clever indeed

Oof. I thought this one was quite close. Only negative for both imo was taking too long to get to some punches. Not that it was “filler” in the build up but it was just felt like wasted space. Bleu got flow and wp and Rai got consistency imo. Both were creative but one was just a little bit more creative and harder hitting so I went with them. Concealing on this.

Good battle to both, Im giving the win to the guy with better punchs and the more complex material, it also flowed well and the setups were on point.. my loser also did good with a nice flow to his 16 as well but I think his punchs did not sting as much as his opponent.. I guess maybe they could have been setup a little better.. Im sure one can beat the other on a different day but I know who got this one. GB FV

Both brought heat. I just think one had better punches and schemes.

This shit was almost way to close to call. Ones improving at a rapid rate and the other is one of the best punchline rappers on this website. Salute to both and good luck to the advancer

Good bout, I think one was more consistent in terms of creative output, was just feeling the set-ups a little more, he also had the cleaner multis, loser's verse wasn't bad by any means... execution was there from both, its a close one, but I got my winner.
