Intersting read here. Both had some good concepts. One or two (from each) either didn't hit too well or rather, weren't delivered well. Having said that, they both had some parts that were delivered nicely. IMO Rai takes this with a better/tighter structured piece than Wretched's. Fairs in, i'm out. 

Wordplay: Ra's Al, a loan, portrait, humor, medicine, oxycontin you, leanin' out, diets. 

When welding you strike an arch when you begin welding. Arch as in that meaning and arch as in arching a bow to shoot arrows.  Copper is melted in this process. You wear a helmet to prevent eye burns from the flash it makes. I say FELLA IS IN SHOCK due to the welding machine being ran with high amounts of electricity .

Rant/Wretched has a live battle on YouTube.

Dave/EtH is a known pedophile.

Need a further explanation.. pm me.

Good luck, Rant.

*FELLA GETS A SHOCK lol

 Rai... the type of welding you're referring to in your first few lines, SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding,) it is an ARC that is produced (pronounced "ark") not an "arch."

@Bonedaddy it is arc, spell correct on my phone keeps adding an h

Arc/arch double meaning though

Not like arch of your foot or archery, but like the arch of a doorway or arch that an arrow sent into sky would have, or arch that a rainbow has or even the way a football archs as you throw it down field. hope you get it now. Arch/Arc both sound the same.

Arch has a ch sound, bud. Lol. Google it. Like, I'm not fussed about the typo or anything, but, seeing you be wrong like that is kind of painful. So, I felt the need to correct you. 

Opener - Wretched

Rai's was complex only set up wise but fell flat punch wise

Bar 3 - Tie

Both had attempts but no punch really.

Bar 4 - Rai

Wretched made the same mistake Rai did with his opener.

Bar 5 - Rai

Rai got this for keeping it simple and personal(even though those multis were unnecessarily long)really coz thats all he had to do coz wretched had an ambitious bar which sadly couldn't serve the purpoe due to the over complicated set up and less relevant wording.Shit is something that would only slide in a live battle.

Bar 6 - Rai and the BOTB

Wretched almost seemed like he lost steam after the first bar and is ran out of ideas from multis to metaphors the whole bar was filler-ish. but this one would have been Rai's anyway that was a good punch.

Closer - TIE

i dnt understand how dave being a pedophile works with forced rap sheet entries or how thinning out the herd is linked to how Rai dying is linke to fat trimming. both were potential metaphors executed without any relevance set up and punch wise.

Overall - this battle still was a sight for sore eyes honestly considering how dead this site is.not the kinda entertainment i expected but still pretty decent. I feel wretched lost this more than Rai won esp during bars 4 to 5.Plus i was really hoping he would have had more line like his opener.

a mid 6 and a high 6 imo

Took winner a bit to warm up, but when he did, it was better imo

mad battle my homies and was hard 2 vote for but no hate FV BSA

Had my winner from second read. Seemed like one didn't take this as seriously as he should've. My winner was stronger start to finish, loser started to pick up steam towards the middle of his verse but it simply wasn't enough. If he'd started as strong as he finished this would be a lot closer. 

Winner took this with consistency. His verse flowed better and had heavier punches. As for the loser here. I feel that he fell off with the ending bars.
