another great battle here folks and another treat for lb.

best bars from my end 

ice - rhethorical question 

rhet-coffins and pews

ive re-read this thing 3 times and waited for both expos to drop my vote.

wasng easy to pick a winner here with both came out swinging for the fences but only one monster here getting that homerun. good concepts and name flips on both sides, but ultimatley ones punches, concepts and execution.

good job to both and thanks for the great display on both ends 

i want to add this was a tight battle and what sealed it for me was the coffins and pews followed by offerins due 

Nonsensical vote removed.

good shit bro, loved your punches, got a few good laughs out of it 

man wtf. I read this whole battle man and it was one damn winner. The offering due line was door as hell

My dawg Ice Bear! Respect & Thanks for playing ;)

Expos come after the hangover tomorrow. 

This was a good battle RhetoriK had some good lines I also was feeling Ice Bear's drop on this one. Close match hard to call I think in the end I felt Ice Bear a bit more so my vote goes to him

Expos: 'for bear and ice' (forebearing ice)

'fold money' cause offerin's due - you fold up money and place it in the offering tray at church. money (slang for dude/homie/etc)

low-bridge: ducking to trip someone 

pipe Flare to Ice Bear: to ice someone is to kill them essentially

warm hugs and sunny days: Ice Bear is  a polar bear and a metal fan, so he wouldn't know what to do with either lol

Quick Vote: Slick bars on both sides, appreciate that both of y'all came swinging with creative ideas. RhetoriK had some filler in the middle of his verse and his closer didn't match the rest of his verses energy but solid verse all around, opener was dope too, storytelling aspect was nice. Ice Bear had some filler too, funny enough in the middle of his verse and second half wasn't as strong as the first one, liked the flow & style but you could've benefited with longer setups which would've given more strength to your punches. You've got all the technical skills but big punches outweigh strong jabs most of the time, in a 32 it would've been more impressive if you were able to keep a scheme going throughout. With that being said I've got to give this one to Rhet, props to both, y'all both were good overall, most opponents would've struggled. Fair's in & keep elevating!

It's okay we got to plan on a ratchet so I don't know what it is about bad habit

One dude near impossible to beat. Rhetorik has the full arsenal here of every type of wordplay possible. Bear came nice, had a few really nice lines. Winner was very creative here

DPS

Rhet took this for me. Ice Bear had the vocab here. Rhet was stronger in all other categories. I like Rhet's closer and Bear's medicine ball line. 

Liked Rhetorik's story-telling approach in the beginning even though I think he sacrificed too many lines he coulda used for punches in the beginning. Think he edged it with the approach he took and was a bit more varied with his punches here. Ice I felt you got way too "lyrical miracle" with it (Your COMPLEXION is LESS THAN, your PROFRESSION'S REPRESSION) < shit like that is just there to rhyme and it's just filler. You're not actually saying anything when you say shit like this. Feel if you could cut stuff like this out you'd improve very quickly. The vote's in, y'all.

My pick had killer setups!! The imagery leading to the was to punch was dope. The opp verse was cool. But i just he was a little outclassed imo.But I enjoyed both verses
