Good topic of discussion @Bav

Bet. For myself if it is glaringly clear that they don't rhyme then i'll dock a few points but if its something that i can stretch myself to fit and isn't too far off, then i put it down to accent. Especially if the person actually has some dope bars and can structure their shit then its more accent and not talent.

I've seen a few battles where its more of a case of trying to 'make the rhyme scheme work' and so they end up with weird and awkward/forced wording and also in some places ends up not rhyming etc.

Funny, right now i'm trying to think of a few examples off the top of my head and my minds drawing a blank, always the way lol.

Yeah, exactly. Why i wanted to have this discussion for text.

To me, the dumbest shit is: "Your multis weren't rhyming/they were off rhyme wise/i said that shit out loud and it didn't rhyme"... "My bad, i'll write in your accent next time then, huh?" lol
