Damn this some close shit yo a little suprised here too be honest never heard much of this envoy dude before. Dope verses from both.. both stayed on the scheme nicely as well. Vote concealed good luck fellas fair 

Dope battle, this is tough... Felt my winners buildups in aacouple concepts help him edge this, although my loser had two of the best bars of this battle, rest fell a bit flat to me.. def could go either way

Nice verses from both but my winner had a well planned verse that attacked from allot of interesting angles and the multis were put together a little better loser need to show more aggression

Battle of the thournament so far IMO. One edged flow where the other did concepts, but both had really strong, cohesive verses overall. Who is envoy, tho?? haha... the "put in a good word but no dice" concept was fire, the gospel and waffle maker punches had me going. Top notch. Erron's fit the image bar, although done before, felt fresh and hit... and that whole closer was story-like; crazy flow and the more for the black community bar was dope. Gotta give it to one for the wow factor. Vote's in.

This took quite a few reads. Basically here's what I think. One was consistently throwing jabs, line after line, which was cool. Other set his punches up a bit more, which was also cool. In terms of effectiveness i have one edging it out due to the quantity of punches thrown. In ones verse there were times where the build-up for a punch wasn't worth it, but in the same vein, the other had punches that needed a bit more build up. This was dope af to say the least. votes in.

This is a really good battle, super-strong verses from both. I edge it to envoy. I think the short-bar style paid off for him, he was able to put a lot of punches together and I feel he was slightly more creative too. 

CLOSE AS FUCK, WHICH I EXPECTED TBH..... BOTH HAD HIGHLIGHTS, ENVOYS 'GOSPELS LATEST HITS' PART WOZ MA FAV, ERRONS 'REAGAN' LINE WOZ MY FAV OF HIS...... BOTH WERE VERY GOOD HERE, I DEFINATELY THINK ONE STUCK MORE WIT THA SCHEME AS A FEW RHYMES FROM THA OTHER WERE A LIL FORCED, ONE WOZ SLIGHTLY MORE CONSISTANT TOO...... GREAT FUCKIN SHOW FROM BOTH, PROPS......FAIR IS DROPPED!

tha scheme was use nicely in both verses ... one had a better flow and longer setups to his bars while tha other was a bit choppy in places but was quicker to tha punch ... so my vote is based off tha verse which had harder punches, and better execution of their concepts ... fairs in

First off: This is one of the sort of the battles I hate voting on because both verses were good and neither had many obvious flaws.

I'm almost certain that envoy is Bleu after reading his verse. He has almost precisely the same style and "lyrical fingerprints." The quality and quantity here were insane. I was floored by the consistency here. The only punches I thought were lackluster were the closer (referenced content I think is obscure - I didn't know it) and the Rondo punch (the execution felt forced). The Boggle shit was bar of the battle.

Don't get me wrong - Erron Black put up a hell of a fight. He had punches throughout too, but he just didn't reach the same overall level of creativity and swag that envoy did. I felt like he was going for the storytelling angle, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it would take EtH's best personals to even have a shot at matching the crack envoy was on. The readability was off the charts though, I'll give him that.

Envoy was just too monstrous here. He gets the win without a doubt. It's well-known that I'm snuggle buddies with Erron Black, so voting against him almost feels like treason. Nonetheless... Fair's in.

This was a doozy, super close as far as technical aspects are concered (scheme-use, multi's, set-ups to punches) but felt like my winner was slightly more creative and although both had some played elements, he had fewer. Dope read from both on here, this could go either way really. Fair's in.

Wow, this is insane right here! The lox w/ jadakiss bar vs errons cracks in his structure bar for me. But the winner went over the top with a line i didnt mention that won this for me right after reading it. Not gonna say who but he knows who he is lol.

both were hot! envoy just had more punches. close but fv!!

read both twice, one just had harder hitting bars... fv is in fellas

I'm going high 8, and low 9, but pretty close to a toss up. I had to read this twice, because both were pretty nice with the scheming, imo. I have one side taking this with a bit more build to setting up punches, getting more impact and notability by following through harder with his concepts. To be critical a couple of lines needed adjusting towards the end as the syntax was off (women ovulate regardless of getting dicked and the nation of Germany was already split, so Reagan wasn't stopping it as much as reuniting, and really Gorbachev took down the wall because Reagan demanded it, but thats being pretty fucking picky considering it stilled followed the scheme... lmao) The other was good with setups for a lot of solid one liners, and had a slightly higher punch count, but there was less cohesion throughout the verse. I actually could see this go either way. I've got respect for both writers verses here. Fair Vote in. Keep it 100. Would love to see a scheme rematch in the future.

Honestly a really good battle. I thought one's double meanings were smarter and executed better. Also found their read a tad slicker. Dope battle, good luck.
