here's what i look for in this order.

1.punches. did i like the punches?
2. execution. flow and performance come in here. for text this is more about wording and logic.
3. creativity
4. skill (wordplay, metaphors, and so on)
5. multi strength

here are the things i mark in a battle and in what order.

1. punches. (they didn't throw any, or had simple/broken punches)
2. wording mistakes, logic mistakes, bad wordplay
3. (for audio here is where i mark someone down for a boring performance)

here's the bottom line though. and a good example. edge vs guts first round, edge wasn't too hot on the mic, and guts was clearly more comfortable, but edge had stronger bars with better logic and flow. my vote? edgeworth no doubt. however, if i was battling someone and you could barely hear their audio, it sounded like they were talking, and kept repeating lines they fucked up, then it isn't even rap. auto loss. so yeah, obviously if someone bombs, it doesn't even count, but i think i've made how i view it clear.

The amount of shit talking in this thread.

If you say "bars over delivery" you're completely missing that it's a good bar BECAUSE of the delivery. You ever seen a comedian have a crowd in stitches even though he has zero stage presence? Nope. If you aren't able to deliver a punchline it doesn't matter how hard it was.

The ability to sound clear, deliver a punch well and flow in audio are the equivalent of wording in text. Without that, the punch isn't hard regardless.

Since it's a different system for deciphering punchlines on audio than it is text, I have to say mic presence. In text, a great punch is distinguished by readability and structure. By audio, it's easier to distinguish by flow and being organically and technically sound in your delivery and bars. That's how it's always been with rap, even going back to the NWA days. People could write great content, but you still needed a voice of an emcee to sell records and bring those words to life. So, yeah, mic presence is key when I vote audio.

Sick burn bro

But in all honesty, no one says "broken punches" and you're clearly just trying to fit in by forcing the "lingo".

Yes, but good delivery on its own isn't enough, you could be smooth as silk on the mic & still not make sense. They both go together but I still favour commenting on the concept and how you execute it.
