Both had really good wordplay and metaphores. One had a better flow and more consistent rhyme scheme. Great battle

Expo: “Dominant” and “submissive” are the usual roles in sexual bondage roleplay. Oxiclean is a brand of stain remover. Rohan’s forum signature had, until very recently (like a few days), pictures of many girls holding up cards with his name written on them. “Peeps” is a marshmallow candy brand which is primarily sold around Easter. The Vault 7 leaks are a recent leak of CIA files; one thing included in them is that the CIA can remotely turn on many electronic devices. Good Will Hunting is a movie about a janitor who turns out to be a math genius.

Hopefully, most of you didn't need all of that expoed, and the rest should be self-explanatory to everyone.

Whew! Good read. Pretty similar formats...I liked most of Einstein's verse,  except it seemed like some multies were forced due to a lack of better words he could've used, such as "coming with laggy hits/judges just drag and skip/touching their fattys lips"...I wasn't exactly going crazy after reading that line. His multies were consistent with high syllable counts, but usually led to empty punchlines...not many quotables to remember here...Shodan impressed me with his verse from the start, he maintained confidence & aggression, and his punches were connecting, while neutralizing Einstein's multies with high syllable counts of his own...the "ladder features" line kinda threw the cadence off, for me, but that was the only downgrade in an otherwise flawless verse...the oxyclean line was great, the "rohans signature pic" was funny, but my favorite was the "peeps contents are filler like a sugary easter snack"...that shit was hilariously personal, because I have noticed considerable filler in a lot of their verses...no hate to Bakers Street...my opinion is that Shodan had the superior verse today, however. Constant barrage of impactful punchlines swayed the momentum his way, as his opponent was lacking in this category...everything else was virtually identical for the most part.

Facts of the matter here is Einstein capped a lot of his words that didn't relate to the words or phrase following which made for a Sloppy Read. Even tho his concepts were decently created he didnt apply the necessary pressure. Sho'. This verse was Dope but the end was rather shakey. Basically no nameplays at all but the punches were definitely there. This verse was just better designed and written. Prolly bkus he took his time with posting. Still a great battle. Good luCc fellas!!

This was a very nice battle. Both had some well thought out and hard hitting punchlines for the majority of their verses however one had the cleaner rhymes and execution and slightly edged this one.. Good Luck to both nice read

..

TF, I felt like some of your concepts were ok but they could have been structured better. Your Celsius bar was played as hell and that was probably the one that was worded the best. Thought your opener def had potential.

Shodan was a bit more concise and was able to get more punches in. Thought his concepts were more unique and a bit simpler. Wasn't really feeling the closer at all however which I think detracted from the verse.

Can't vote but, nice battle here fellas. Best of luck. 

This was a pretty decent battle.....Think one came more consistent with the hits....The other had quite a bit of potential with some of the concepts but they didn't land as hard as they could have....I got one edging the fairs in...

My choice got this with stronger punches.. Dope spar though..

Someone was SUPERIOR

This was kinda tough....tbh, I think Shodan was a bit more creative here but some of the slant and the failure to stick with a rhyme scheme for more than two lines kinda messed with the flow. Started off really strong, was up and down in the middle, finished strong and the last line was humorous. The Einstein was really kinda wordy in places and it messed with his flow at times, in other spots it was a lot more smooth. Pony line, sticker shock, erin andrews lines nice....Cel and Dancing with Stars plays Ive seen at least 5x. Closer was weird cuz I never heard of anyone 'throwing a fiasco'....maybe im weird. Got Shodan winning this by having more consistent impact start to finish.

Dope battle fs.

I usually don't vote on text battle because i feel that the bars can be lost in translation when others read, but this one was dope. both had a good showing here but my winner was deadly with some of these lines. best ive seen so far in this text battle championship.  My fair vote is in. GB

ok nvm this the best battle of the 1st round. fairs in.

This battle was mad close in my opinion. I was feeling one's drop more in terms of the punches they brought. Had to re read a few times but It came down to preference here. Both had a nice verse. Fairs in...I've got a winner by a hair.
