METAL GEAR vote removed due to his request.

Tough one to call here. Some of the challengers lines were really dope. Winner I felt like had the silver lining in his punches here. Hats off to both dudes here yO

Good shit chief, glad we could get one in

This is definitely a tough one to call. I feel like purps had some harder punches but few of them while Rhet was jabbing most of the way through.. i didnt like Rhet's last line. Felt like head off and hold the cap could've been done differently but I enjoyed the font concept. Also the I felt like the land mine punch could've been executed differently. Either way both punches were still decent from both. I enjoyed the rest of both verses. I'm gonna say this will be a coin flip for most. I liked imported wine from rhet and anti abortionists from purps. Overall pretty good battle. Would've been even doper as a 16

hell yeah Purps, same. good stuff.

Purps: complex multis, some really solid concepts throughout, and thoughtful execution. Wasn't 100% sold on the Epstein closer... but anti abortionist line was executed so clean..  win in moderation was a good opener, with a really clean setup. Overall a really strong verse.

rhet: chain punching everywhere... 8 lines and probably 7-8 punches. Don't really need to lean heavy on multis because these were some creative punches.

honestly a really tough battle for me to vote on... it took multiple re reads and I'm just BARELY edging it to the verse I felt had just a tad more weight to the punches... but damnit both MCs dropped gems. In this matchup, I think the opponents style just put him that bit over the edge.

May be my fav battle I read in a while, both got skill so that makes it better. Purps had a well crafted verse, they rhymes were clean, the punches were well executed and laid.. The opener was dope the moderation set up and punch was ouch.. Then the coordinates and abortionist line was fire. The rifle bar was not for me, and was the closer kinda iffy yeah, but liked the concept. Rhet is again a well crafted verse, rhymes clean too and steady, the punchlines are hitting too, liked most of the verse. The hoarders mind was sick, the foreign time, and that folded map line was nice, I don't feel that closer was the best delivered but good verse. I hate to vote against either but I can say personals was Purps, and punches on the creativity side edges to Purps.. Big props to both, Purps takes it by a hair or 2..

This battle was lit find it hard voting both Mcee was on it, could go either way but giving it to purps for his build and concept 

Let me be honest here I read this battle when it first dropped and had purps winning. His punches truly hit harder. It's fucked up you can't be honest voting against a mod with out any retaliation or retribution but it is what it is right. On that note MAY THE BEST BARS PREVAIL!
