alright. deep expo king will get at this:excuse me... (ehhemm mmm mmm mmmmmmmm) obey: you did some nice strings w/the concepts but took too long for the punch to exactly hit where it was expected. everywhere i thought there was a punch going to land. it was run off by another strecth or long run off that less packed in the power. you had some real dope concepts. but if shortened tight and sweet you could have gotten easy jabs and a couple of k.o. punches. not bad definitly a boss w/concepts but felt where there was supposed to be a metaphorical punch just phazed by me. imo. but i did read it twice. fav. bar the skeleton closet halloween theme. very relavent but as i said easy to make a punch out of that if shortened tighter. Rupt: you had some finesse behind some fluent content mixed w/dope punches. if you made a better multi set to go along w/your strings of punches. i would have said oh well this one's for you w/no doubt. you had very nice landing punches w/easy connections between punches. nice content w/a overall better read. read twice. fav. line the opener. I'm from Mars, Rupt's ina RARE DIVISION, Obey can't 'measure up in the box' it isn't FAIR WE VISIONED against-Illo in-the-votes he'd be BARE'LY MENTIONED but only 'won by 1(1x1)' so clearly I'm outta this SQUARES DIMENSION.. the freaking double meaning well wordplay effort and tie up to the punch was well executed short and sweet w/dope concepts in there. so that mar's start and square dimension math topical are like both combo blows. easy to say you stayed consistent. but needed to make a bigger level for that as both were dope. always a fair in depth expo send one back. don.

Shit was close real close in my eyes and as a paying customer I'm kinda reluctant who the money should go too ... But I've read both verses now 3 times and I've come to my conclusion based on creativity more consistent puns .... However my advice too both don't reach for those word plays my be cuz I'm English but both yall too me had some iffy wordplays ... But my shit is in let's crown this muther fucker !!!! .... .:X:.

OOOOOOOHHHHHH LLLLAAAAAWWWWDDD what a final. I thought one took this with slightly better concepts and flow. I won't say any more cause I don't want to sway on a final but this was heat from both niggas. Dayum Voted: Yes (Hidden)

one's line stood out to me as the LOTR, hit personally , relavent setup , to the concept, a couple others tho, a bit played, multis scheme work, was on point,a few areas in the quoted phrase plays a bit awkward and broken, but still fairly clean.. comes down to conceptual wording, and grammar structure, where my winner excelled, wit less convolution, easier to follow lines, and more directness in correlation to his punchlines ,on a more consistent basis..... great job to both on getting to this point, and congrats to whoever wins... fairs in Voted: Yes (Hidden)

Damn. Hot battle gents. Mad respect to both for makin it to the finals. Both had a dope verse. Punches were hot. Set ups were clean. Multies were pretty decent as well. Both came with an almost complete verse. Really using every category to their advantage. I felt my winner did that slightly better than my loser. It was tough to decide, but was pretty clear after 2 reads. Fairs in. Much Respect! Keep Elevatin' Voted: Yes (Hidden)

First and foremost, nice showing for both of you and congrats on making it to the finals. I felt one was more personal and direct with their bars while still using really cool concepts that were relevant and hard hitting for the majority of their verse. The other had a few nice lines, but consistency was a factor. Vote's in... good luck to both. Voted: Yes (Hidden)

Tight battle guys, the vote is in. My vote went to the person who i felt was more consistent with the punches, verse was overall more hard hitting the majority of the time. Voted: Yes (Hidden)

I'm not gonna go crazy with the expo, I think Illokwent summed it up eloquently. Go figure... It seemed like one dude tried to do too much with his bars & it didn't come off. I went with the smoother read & more consistent punches. He had 2 major bars that really stood out to me... FV in, congratulations bruuuuhhh Voted: Yes (Hidden)

I'll Break My Vote Down If You Guys Would Like But Just Know I've Read Both Verses Twice And I Felt Like There Was A (Almost Clear) Winner Here. Fair's In Fellas, Congrats On Making It This Far. Both Routes Weren't The Easiest Of Opponents To Get Through. Voted: Yes (Hidden)
Posted on: 2014-10-02 16:53:25

yo, this is how it goes. one just didn't flip his ideas how he should have. in my over analytical sense as you know I vote based on a wiiide variety of things that helps me choose a better verse. wording and relevance to the lines took away from the it factor and made the verse less consistent. the other was pretty consistent but in my eyes had a small few punches that just didn't hit for me but overall was still effective at the end of the day. The Swishh Has voted. good job though fellas I kno how it is by this round of the tournyand yall pulled together some dope verses none the less. congrats on whoever wins it. Voted: Yes (Hidden)
