This was a nice read. I'll summarise both verses real quick. As I read both drops, I realised that you both have very similar styles. Grief: Your structure and style hasn't changed much, although I spotted a few inconsistencies that took away from your top form material. I noticed a forced multi in the opener [WE CAN GO / VIDEOS] and it flowed awkwardly. That concept was a little forced also. In general, the first half's flow was hurt by some awkward scheme use. [ALL UNSTABLE / PeriODIC TABLE] was another one. Although, the big multis you used in the 3rd and 5th bar flowed nicely and fit in well. The last bar was solid too, schemewise. Overall, I felt your old style but the concepts were slightly played and forced in part [Firetrucks reference/Dilated pupils]. Your wordplay was below par for your standard. The flow picked up in the second half and the readability improved. I detect just a slight bit of rust but I still enjoyed your verse and it's still akin to your old material. RULE: First concept was simple but played. Boycott an Ellen Show was a dope complex wordplay, I saw the sneaky shortening of billion to fix the multi - I think you just about got away with that. Punch was decent but I guess the wordplay took the spotlight in that line. Fake rollies concept was another simplistic line, below your par conceptually. Next concept was unclear, wording in the reference could have been better. Schemework was awkward [NOSEY INMATE / HOPE FOR ESCAPE] and took away from the flow slightly. The next bar was extremely convoluted and was saturated with referencing. I appreciated the complexity. "Stage" of Grief was dope wording and made the punch hit well. Lunar System - I've seen the wordplay before and there's no other way so it took away from the bar. Otherwise solid wordplay. Wordplay was solid up until "Good & 10 Shun" which I thought was weak. The wordplay set-up also didn't involve the plural, so it was incredibly forced. What remains a-head/End of his sentence was a nice concept and a dope punch. To summarise, it was a good read. There was some awkwardness scheme-wise and multi-wise, a few weak concepts... All in the all, the winner got this with a few stand-out punches and henceforth a higher level of consistency. The other one had some riskier concepts that involved a more creative edge but they weren't quite executed perfectly. So it's Form vs. Ideas. Consistency got this by a rat pube. Vitty's vote's in.

the loser had some broken multi's in places to force his concepts into play, and some of his concepts weren't very fluent to me. I'd suggest lowering your set-up's a bit, jamming so many things relevant to the punch itself makes the set-ups irrelevant to the sentence itself, thus making it seem forced. Nice punches though, some concepts were played, but all in all you show the creativity & dedicated to craft haymaker punchlines. My winner had phenomenal wordplay, haymakers back to back, and multiple forms of structuring to diversify his bars. Good spar, no hate. High to High here. Voted: GOOD GRIEF / RULE

Pretty dope battle here. For me the loser had some wording issues and a couple lines that fell a bit flat to me. Some dope punches thrown though too and the set ups were nice. The other had the more creative angles and his punches landed harder because of it....better wording too. A couple of wp's that didn't really work to me but the majority was crisp.

Yo stop the fucking presses. RULE learned a flow that's not out of 2005. Holy fucking shit. Jesus Fucking Christ. He copped a flow from like...2007. Or maybe eight. Still, improvement. Yo I gotta say that Good Grief's verse was kind of like seeing a chick with big boobs at the club. you're intrigued for a second and you start walking that direction, only to realize it's a fucking tranny and there's nothing there that you really want. Because I was like..yo, this is alright..for a couple bars, before I was like...wtf yo...this verse got a fucking dick, i dont' wanna be looking at it. A lot of broken and unclear concepts in the last say..2/3 of the verse. Rule, you still suck. I think your wording has improved, and I'm not really into the long wordplay, but I can't pretend like it wasn't solid and wasn't the better verse. Voted: GOOD GRIEF / RULE

Best battle I read all week easily. I guess the wording could be better on one verse.. but was still a dope verse, that opening bar, and the referee line.. nice as fuck IMO. & the other verse... WOW!--that wordplay was awesome as hell, very BRAVE, but i re-read it a couple times and it couldn't of been worded any better and it completely worked, i was suuuper impressed with the wordplay, it's something i been working on but i'm not yet to that level. Great battle here fellas, best one i've read in a while. Fair is in. Voted: GOOD GRIEF / RULE
