I got XYZ grabbin this.. it was fairly close, but I think X was a bit more clever throughout. Bear, if that closer was more connected this vote may have switched.BOTB: drag / neighbors smokin

good shit bro gb&gl

XYZ; nice set of bars. First few bars were stronger than your last two, wasn't feeling those as much. Execution was nice and concepts were cool. 8/10. 

IB; i fucked w/ your opener. had me thinking it was a nice way pf setting the tone. Conceptually, you had some angles though feel lacking in execution and delivery of said concepts a bit here in this one. I can see you're improving w/ each battle you're dropping. Be sure to check wording and see if there is other ways to execute your ideas. 6/10. 

Have XYZ taking the win in this one. Fairs thrown. 

nice battle

Cool 8 liner. Ice Bear started strong. The time taken to get to the Bnas punch was too long for an 8 liner...also could've incorporated raving/raven wp into the line for more impact than putting it in parentheses. Exwhyzee right out of the gate with a decent punch and kept cooking from there. setup for creole bar was a bit long for an 8 liner but ended up solid. Closer was cool imagery and wp. Got exwhy taking this but Ice Bear continues to impress with improvement. 

Heavy drop from both, very equal sided battle from either side. both attacked a lot. Neighbours smoking bar was good.

Exwhyzee used more multis than icebear but that final line from Ice bear (W-XYZ) bar landed like a haymaker, steals the win from this close battle.

FV tossed. No hate keep elecating

Elevating*

Good showing from both. Both had their opener and closer as highlights here. I thought xyz's punches just went stronger here, which took the W, and I will explain what I mean by that.

As an example, X's opener has "draw n everyone gets it" as the flip, which has two distinct meanings where the words literally mean different things - this is a strong punchline. Ice Bear had the "numbers droppin" punch, which presents two different contexts in which numbers might drop. This is a double-meaning, but it's not really a flip, because "numbers dropping" still means essentially the same thing in both contexts. This makes it a weaker punch.

Tough ass battle here to call. I wouldn't be voting for one if I knew Baltimore sucked, which they don't, they had a bad game at the worst time they could have but it happens. One I felt was a bit more personal here, other then that you guys were pretty equal here thru out. Keep grinding 

Consistency took this for me. Bear you started off nice but slowed down. Radio shack and Paleo fad were nice. Neighbors smoking and Creole kitchen were the highlights of the battle. Shit I fucked with the outside myself ish as well.
