I'm not explaining anything. If you don't know then you don't know. It's 2017.

GL Esso

Ok. Orc had some good shit here. Statue of David was my favorite bar. That said, esso went in. I wasn't huge on his opener just cuz I think that's a wrestling reference, and I don't watch it, but I could still see the imagery. Leg up in this window, Crack. Orc kid opened up? He'll ya, That was dope. felt the last 2 bars were good but those 2 bars in the middle were the deciders for me.

Dope bars from both. I'll admit that a few punches went over my head, especially the sports/WWE ones. As for the bars I did get, though, I felt one had stronger execution and concepts overall. Fair's in.

another hot battle!..i felt Orc took this with slightly harder punches and more enjoyable read, altho' that EASTER line from Esso was dope

Good battle. Fairz 

CLASSICK u BASTIDS!!!

BOTW! A few Punches Hit HARDDDD from my Winner. My loser was RIGHT THERE WITH HIM!! This Was Almost a Toss Up my That 'Orchid' Line Was SAUCY!!

This was that hot shit ... Fire from both. Two different swaggaz. Ah few lines from one didnt hit as tuff as others .. The other had it goin.  Great battle one edged it D.C. in 

If there was a tie option man oh man Would I Choose this shit was dope af both were on their game had dopeass lines but Winner to took it by a little bit good battle/fv

Orc always been heavy, even when he was on netcees, dude been putting in heavy work. Esso you alright family, but orc on another level with the text. Its one thing to punch, but its another thing to swag and flow seamlessly while your hitting your opponent at the same time. gg's fairs in.

One was just more complex in every category imo. Esso came with it today. ORC I think you had some good shit but Esso was a lot more consistent over the 16. Fairs in. 

Hard one, will drop a vote before it's done.

Gonna re-read couple more times.

Damn man, I hate these ones. I think it's always down to personal preference at this point. BOTB is the Rob Van Dam line for sure. I don't know if thats enough to win though, cause Orc was pretty fucking consistent through-out but I do feel like his closer was weak, especially to what he wrote earlier in the verse. I think Orcs bars were resonating with me better than Esso's were. Although I don't think Esso had too many flaws, his closer was w/e to me, the same as Orc though. Im not gonna try and disect each line and tell you why its bad, I think this was a pretty sick ass battle w/ two heavy hitters. I wish both of you luck, and remember this vote is in my humble opinion only. I am leaning this way.

Esso had a conceptual prowess, which made his bars seem a lot better and harder hitting as they didn't sound basic, and this took tha vote ...  ORC had punches but only a few were up to tha standard to beat Esso, but not enough to make his verse stand out as tha best one, apart from this both verses were clean and had nice punches ... fairs in 

After reading both many times, this is pretty close. It came down to one having a slow start w an opener that didn't hit at all imo. I've heard it before & this didn't have that spin on it to pass. He started picking it up after that but there's only so much that can b done w only 16 bars. W that said tho, he had one of the strongest bars but fell short to keep it constent. The winner held more impact through his verse. There were low points & he also had a bar that didn't work for me but other than that I feel like his verse connected better. This is a close call tho & can go either way, I'm sure it'll b talked over for awhile. Solid battle, fairs in.
