One dudes piece was all over the place. Had me rereading each line, flow was choppy which took away from each punch's impact. Some good concepts, though they could of been delivered better imo. Was an awkward read overall. Other dude was readiable, executed concepts well and had some creative punches in his piece. No constructive critisim needed. 

ROUND 2 Submission deadline: January 19, 11:59PM Eastern (GMT -5). Good luck fellas!

OPS!! OPS!! OPS!!

Will be back to vote, good drop guys.

Best Verse I've Ever Seen From Alzie but that Ender Was Trash. X was Pretty Consistent but Bother Over Over The Top. Vote Concealed. This was a Bomb Read.!! 

Alzie, I have no idea why you tried SO hard to use extremely long multies but there were definitely your downfall here. Not only did the punchlines not make sense, but I think you found yourself trying to keep the scheme relevant with irrelevant words, half of which didn't rhyme. Then the other half of the time they did rhyme, the syllable count was off. Look bro, longer multies work very well in longer battles (16's-32's) but they're also an advanced technique that you NEED to know how to use. Otherwise you'll get what you posted....a string of multies that don't really rhyme or make sense. You usually post good material but this was the wrong approach here. You should have stuck to your strengths, especially since you knew you were going against a veteran.

X, nice response man. Simple, clean bars with some nice concepts. Especially the astronaut line. 

Vote concealed.

Thought this was way closer than expected but one still pulled out with cleaner concepts. My loser threw some heavier punches but also had a very awkward read. For example, the opening 13-syllable (!) multi was something of a display of lyrical prowess but also very annoying to read. Throughout your verse, the multis and concepts tended towards the forced end of the spectrum. My winner came lighter than he usually does, probably expecting this to be an easy win, with a lower quantity and quality of concepts than usual. Still, he took this with better bars. Fair's in.

FIREEEE. Good luck to my winner

I think X easily executed his bars cleaner, which made them hit harder. His ideas were fresh, so that was a plus. The Aisle C, Row 4 line was a banger. Lil Alzie i think tried to do too much here, I liked some of his concepts but I think its the experience to relay them in a proper manner is where he fell short. I liked the flip on 'Zit/Teenage' just cause it fit well w/ the name play. Also forcing himself to do such long Multi Strings had some of the multi set's not rhyming as clean as they could of. Fairs in.

Basically my winners punches hit harder from start to finish..one had some some long multies strings that kinda took away the impact of the bar..imo

either way decent battle but I felt there was a clear winner here 

Aight, so thot time. Lil Alzie, you had a couple good ideas...but yo...I don't think that your setups, multies, rhyming, or flow are good at all. There were a lot of times that I didn't really understand what was happening technically in your verse, and that really, really took away from some decent ideas that you had. It just needs cleaned up a shit ton. X you did your thing. Your verse was quite good, probably one of the best I've seen this tournament. Flow, wording, ect ect ect... all on point. Not sure there were a lot of crazy strong lines, but each one seemed to be at least pretty good. Fair vote, seems like a pretty easy decision. 

one outclassed the other. fair is in

The certi fair is in I feel the winner here had a more polished scheme and hit harder. Both emcees had some lines that seemed forced but all in all props to both guys.

One was ahead here. Not telling who I gave it to but my winner was more advanced in most areas. Nice battle tho, best of luck to both. 

X was just cleaner and held it to a higher standard throughout. Alzie impressed me but forced some stuff and justbwasnt up to the same level. Enjoyable battle tho.

Close battle here. Lil you had some wording issue which took away from your punches. Xwiz i thought you could have used some better concepts. 

BOTB :  U got Row feeding ya lines.. ha! The THOUGHT OF IT MAKES ME LAUGH cus u think it would PROBABLY SAVE UR ASS but u wouldn't 'Hold a bag, w/ a Following in Row' less given the SHOP WIT THE LADY TASK!

new names here, still a good battle. one was just cleaner with the punches he pulled off. fairs
