One, not bad. A lot of filler over the same concept, that seemed to go on for a few bars which resulted in wasting space for other material/bars that could of been used. Little to no flow/poor readibility to the entire piece which made it seem to drag on. Signs of potential, just got work to do. Other dude started out nicely and seemed to be building up but then trailed off towards the end of his piece. A better readibiity to his bars though and less filler than the other. Concepts where better worked out/delivered than his opponents too. Overall: both have work to do. Best of luck to whoever goes through. 

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

Expo: right before this battle,  noble contacted me and asked me if I would have a problem with my opponent changing his user name. I didn't.  He elected to keep his name.  "Check your head" and "ill communication" were seminal beastie boys albums from the early 90s

I think this one was pretty clear. Winners punches were much stronger than the losers. Loser I feel also wasted a few lines that could of been replaced w/ a new concept / flip for a punch. I think there was too many name flips in this entire battle on both sides, but even so the winner had better ones lmao. Fairs in. Good battle, and good luck to both participants.

Def a heater here. Both dudes dropped some mean shit. Vote concealed.

The fair is in excellent read. Both had nice concepts but felt one connected more for me. The certi fair is in

one hit a lot harder here, and had a solid verse w/ some fresher concepts, shit was really goood man ... loser had tha concepts and ideas but imo he didn't hit hard w/ his bars due his setups ... fairs in

Ac was ruthless, wish I could vote. Easssyyyy money here

Liked both but ILLicitt got em with the last line 

Voted

Expo: "deadly rounds for bitches" works both ways line the gentleman that questioned it.  Firstly,  yes, condoms are round.  Secondly,  and more directly,  the "shots" held  within condoms on a dick with aids could easily kill a bitch.  It requires a bit of abstract thought. 

For me the winner took this not only with better rhythm and vibe from set up to punch but also just Hella swaggy with it. Gave me that Roy Jones, Mayweather feel when motherfuckers danced with a nigga around the ring. Overall the battle was dope and the only reason that it wasn't closer in score was that I believed the runner up sort of faded at the end where the start and middle was flames. Fairs. 1.

Thot time. I think Apache you had a verse with potential but nothing really outstanding. Some good...your verse was clean, readable, and didn't fall into the traps of terrible wordplay, broken rhyming, and awkward as fuck sentences. On the other side, it never really impressed me. Some bars were...alright, but nothing was really that creative or original, it just seemed incredibly generic. Also 'It' bars are way fucking played at this point. Illicit your ideas are generally alright, but at times your setups are not. There were several lines where I fucked with the idea but the setup was a little wordy and ideas didn't seem to really naturally flow. A couple lines seemed played to me, and I'm pretty much at the point to where any AC lines are pretty much an automatic no from my perspective. I do think that you won, but in the future you have to focus on having a cleaner verse to compete in the later rounds. 

one was way better here imo fair vote is tossed

One was all around better conceptually. Apache your verse was bland for me. I see your attempts at wp, but they were too basic and had no impact. You also had a lot of long-winded bars that whiffed & that's a bad look. ILL you had some cool jabs here & there, your nameplays became a bit repetitive tho. Everything else was decent, nothing outstanding but enough. Fairs

Real close one for me here, but I think ones ideas came across a little stronger an had a couple of cleaner landing punches.

Apache had a nice flow, but I felt illicitt matched that and also had better use of complexity and multisyllables. Clear win here imo.

MVGT: Illicitt 5-6
