What makes a verse a 10 to you...

[Erupt da Monsta]

I’ve noticed recently that there hasn’t been many if any 10s thrown out in battles via votes in a long ass time. Is this due to lack of Dope verses or are voters expectations too high?

I’ve seen lots of 5,6s and on verses I thought were 7s and 8s ,

Like does the line length of the battle play a factor to you?
32 lines etc.
consistency, wow factor etc?

Just something that crossed my mind upon peeping votes

Thoughts?

I usually rate battles on the energy both opponents bring to the battle especially if it has some type of build up or storyline to it. If it’s just a random battle, 9/10 it’s not getting a 9 or a 10.

Kindve like boxing. I’m more of a Sell the fight and duke it out instead of a random ass battle out of nowhere with nothing behind it. Holds no interest.

I’d be more interested reading a battle with 2 forum guys beefing like Ruin vs Cerberus than a random out of nowhere battle from DaDDiO vs UNKNOWN ARTIST.

Nothing tbh I don't think a perfect verse exists.

Buncha dickhead voters on LB is all...

I still toss 9's and 10's out when imo the battle I'm votin on is the hottest battle out, both came with high level shit, etc

These days you'll fuck around and get a 5 or 6 on a verse that used to get 8's and 9's...and I be lookin at some of the dudes who voted like...under this criteria if a good verse from me is a 5-6 then a great verse from you is a 2 or 3 lol

A good verse usually warrants about a 7 for me. A great verse usually gets an 8. A verse with no flaws, with set ups on point that finish with a backhand of a punch every time will warrant a 9-10. I do issue 9s and 10s but it’s rare. More so rare 10s than 9s.

Voting has changed to a low scale from back in the day.

To me it is simple

1: Garbage - Doesnt rhyme, no punches, troll verse.
5: Not bad - reasonably solid in most areas
10: One of the greatest verses ive ever read

Pretty easy to rate people on that scale.

To be fair, no ones written a verse worth HIGH rates lately so to see people tossing 6s and 7s or anything below, I don’t really blame them.

I am tossing 8 and 9's.

10's are usually hard now-a-days.

For me it is as follows

1-3 = the verses which do not fill up the box or are just random rhymes

4 = Still random rhymes but atleast a little insulting

5 = average multis with a few failed attampts at punches but fine jabs but with a lil inconsistent
wording

6 = solid hold over multis few good build ups but played out punch concepts or not too effective
with a tinge of a few personals insults with average wording and wordplays

7 -8 = solid multis, relevant set ups, good personal insults and fresh concepts overall with one or
two haymakers!!

9-10 = same as 7-8 for the most part but with humour as well i mean punches that either make
you go wow or dayum!! or LMFAO !!

i totally agree with this, but imo no one deserves a 9-10 unless the verse was flawless and that rarely happens.

i think 6-7s are more common bc thats just the most frequent quality of verses that are posted.
