A QUESTION ABOUT VOTING.

Oh, but it isn't. It's just a version that you can understand without 20 years of higher education in advanced mathematics.

Jokes aside, I'd say that bar quality has a somewhat higher "weight" than mic presence.

To illustrate what I mean, let's say that bar quality has a weight of 2 and mic presence has a weight of 1. Battler A has 8/10 bars and 2/10 mic presence, while Battler B has 2/10 bars and 8/10 mic presence. Battler A gets a score of (8 * 2) + (2 * 1) = 18, and Battler B gets a score of (2 * 2) + (8 * 1) = 12, so Battler A is clearly ahead.

This isn't a totally accurate demonstration of what my thought process for voting on these kinds of battles is, much less what anyone's thought process SHOULD be, but I think it conveys the idea. Both bar quality and mic presence COUNT, but bar quality counts MORE.

Remember when Shodan said I was trying to act like the smartest guy on LB a few days ago?

Check the battle and vote for the one you preferred.

Shits fucking simple.

TO SOME PPL VOTING IS A KIND OF SCIENCE, SOME OF THA NEWER GUYS TRY AN LEARN FROM VERSES AS THEY ARE READING SO THEY WILL GO TO A MORE ''IN-DEPTH'' KIND OF READING, SO THEY MIGHT NOTICE A LIL MORE THAN SOMEONE SIMPLY READING ONCE AN THEN THINKING ''I ENJOYED THIS VERSE MORE''....

NEITHER SCENARIO IS WRONG, PEOPLE JUS HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS ON HOW TO VOTE, NO-ONE IS 100% RIGHT ITS JUST PREFERENCE TO THAT INDIVIDUAL..... THATS WHY I WANTED TO SEE DIFFERENT PPLS VIEWS, THIS THREAD HAS BEEN INTERESTING.

Personally, I rarely vote on audio battles because I'm not too experienced in them. When I do vote on them, I make a holistic judgement, which is always dependent on the specifics of the situation and can't really be given in general terms.

However, if I had to quantify how I balance execution and writing, I wouldn't prioritise either. Imagine execution (mic presence, flow etc) gets one total mark out of 10. Then writing quality (punches, wordplay, rhyming etc) also gets a total mark out of 10. Multiply each of those together. This means that someone that is all-round is better off if both emcees are equally skilled in total (5x5>9x1). If it was a case of 9-1 vs 1-9 in terms of delivery-writing then it would just come down to which I subjectively preferred.

But again, any rigidly mathematical algorithm takes away from the point of rap battling, because it isn't a science, its an art.
