Congratulations to both on making it to the final of the 2023, LBA Championship. You both have until the 25th @ 11:59pm to post your set of bars. Best of luck, gentlemen. 

Damn.. didn't know i won last rd. Good shit...lets go fam! 👍

Time to go to work for this dub but its nothin ya had No chance/ But This a digital clock OCK ya punchin with no hands/ And just like this battle ya left yaslef broke fam/ Suckin off rock groups really the only time you blow bands/

Off ya noodle doggy are you ready for that/ Don't matta the angle you gettin sniped till ya head jerkin back/ You gonna be lookin like the thriller dance ya dome fittin snap/ Shit el have cheek bangin off ya shoulder like ya neck when it cracks/

This jest a rook vs a vet lets spar/ Clean this fish thats fresh cook up ya best by far/ No drugs or booze...the edge a ya lines straight thats cool/ But its like ya bars aint got fuel/ You cant hit the gas like an electric car/

But then you went OUT on each limbs on ya own Accord/ Like ya Honda wanted smoke hit the trees and lost each like both arms got sawed/ My haters Boat hit the open port/ and faster than blinkin you jest jumped on board/ But this Fat fuck slipped a disk flowin like cruise ship shuffleboard/

Dont matter if ya fallout i Rip through ya frailer bars/ my raps like a f5 hittin ya trailer park/

This square is soft..only time he rippin it or airin it hard/ Is when his gassed up l mouth is exhalin a fart/ Suckin franks the only time he tears it apart/ When hes breakin off the side of the bun with staler part...

"Suckin franks the only time he tears is apart/  When hes breakin off the side of the bun with staler part"

When the hot dog bun is a little stale and ya tear off the stale part .😁

One reallly stepped it up here. This is close. One had more hits in, coupled w/ aggression whereas the other was just a lot more coherent. See it goin either way. One just had a few punches that resonated w/ me more. GL to both

Fire tempo smoke with ample jabs ..no slip ups ..delivery hard as per usual . Ruje i feel you had some big lines and the delivery was also fire however some of those personals just werent connecting for me . Personals only work if the reader agrees with what your proposing . With this in mind and even tho your closee was big , i have smoke taking this on total punch conects and the flow allowed more jabs to land . I think Ruje stood his ground , unfortunately i cant say u bodied him like i did smoke :P  but its a points victory here . GL 

reader / listener 

both was dope here. thought the winner had more consistent punches and energy throughout. this was actually very close. i'd spar with either anytime

Both bought it. One stood out on punches. Fair vote in 

Damn

Rhyme:

Digital clock thing ain't really hitting. I get the "time to go to work" and all that but punch in with no hands (plus you gotta rely expo for that "time card" thing) is a bit of a stretch.

Thriller thing was cool

Can't hit the gas like an electric car was nice

Shuffleboard thing relies too much on expo

rippin it or airin it hard... mouth exhalin a fart looooooooooooooooooooool

Ruje:

Ran through smoke was nice

I appreciate the personal jabs

that whole ignoring smoke scheme and then punch was FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, Talk to hiiiiim

When you delivered punches that shit was tough. Quality shit.

I've heard Pixar lamp thing before.

Ruje had scathing blows in my opinion.

Dope battle for sure, definitely entertaining..and certainly as difficult to judge.

I felt both combatants were pretty evenly matched here, skill-wise..I enjoyed Smokes rapid fire punches and agressive delivery..as well as Rujes build-ups (setups)..Smokes Thrilla dance/choreography bars were really something out of the box, and adding the visual was certainly helpful and a nice touch. Although I felt your closing bars could had been way more stronger than it was. Ruje, I thought your personals definitely added an extra layer to your verse, which made it more easier to follow. The setups worked well, but some lead to a less than dynamic punch on two occasions, but overall you had some pretty solid punching throughout the duration of your verse.

It was pretty difficult to pull a winner from this bout, after more than a few listens..good battle guys (vote concealed)

Fire battle..I thought smoke rushed his material here but still landed his punches. Thought ruje had better set ups to his punches.that native American bar was fire..close call..my winner came swinging.and the other had his punches hit but the few he had went as impactful..

Dam you guys both went hard as fuck. That a tough choice to make.

Both came very hard but one edged here very slightly both had the bars punches,schemes, and personals nice work fellaz.. may the best 1 win goodluck!!

Felt like rhyme came harder. Ruje was good but I didn't really feel any haymaker and there were a couple areas I didn't really like, like the closer. Smoke sounded off speed in some spots but it wasn't that bad.  FVNH
