NICE BATTLE, GL PHE.

EXPO -

LOTUS IS A CLASSIC CAR.

''PHE'' ISNT HALF OF ''PHENOMENON''.

MICHAEL MYERS IS HIS AVY/AVATAR.

I KNEW HE WOULD CALL ME OLD HENCE THA PENSIONER LINE.

NIA JAX IS A FEMALE WRESTLER WHO ENTERED THA MENS ROYAL RUMBLE THIS YEAR.

Expo for the opener should be simple but just in case, GRizzEAT admitted to me that Mind Fuck helped him get his scheme championship and it was Grizz vs HVK in the finals of that tourney..

HVK, can I further ask for an expo on what Pensions have to do with Mike Myers? maybe i'm not familiar enough with him, was he a retiree or something? Also, the fine ants phe one, the wordplay works but what is a fine ANTS phe in this case? what are phe's fine ants?

Yup good battle dude..

@EDGE ...... JAMIE LEE CURTIS IS NOW A GRANDMOTHER IN THA LATEST HALLOWEEN FILM, SO LIKE MICHAEL MYERS HES GETTIN KILLED BY A PENSIONER....... NOW YOUR OVER YA LIMIT WIT YA FINE ANTS PHE NOW YA LIL CREW FACE A NUMBERS CRISIS, SO THA 'FINE ANTS' ARE HIS 'LIL CREW', THA NUMBERS CRISIS CONNECTS WITH THA WORDPLAY ''FINANCE FEE'' WHICH LINKS TO THA ''CHEQUE'' WP IN THA PREVIOUS LINE.

Winner had some dope flow going early, some heavy build up before not only throwing but landing the haymaker. Winner kept it consistent thru out and kept his compusure even when the loser started striking back/ with a couple, but not as many, haymakers as the winner had here. Multis from both were dope and creative as well. Salute

Shots. I like this right here. Nice flows great punches .. man hard vote here but I got one edging. Fvin

I'm gonna be a bit critical here because honestly for a GC at this round in the tournament, the battle's should be better.

I got HVK here for a couple reasons. Phe took way too long to get to the first punch, but it was his best punch by far, so was still fine. the old spice thing was weird, like why would you be fearing his old spice? what even is that? track/stats line was ok. Catheter line was a reach for sure and just too direct. Also, even with the catheter connected you're still """flowing fluid""". Last punch was hella basic and direct. Probably something that was said in like 2005. 

HVK, your phenomenon line was pretty good, as was the mike myers one but it was basic. But, the Fine Ants Fee line is an EXTREME reach, and almost cost you the battle. Saying his crew is a bunch of fine ants is just ridiculous. But, the royal rumble line was really nice. Your closer was pretty played but Phe also had played stuff.

In the end, when you looked at them alone, neither verse was fantastic. But, when you compared apples to apples, HVK's highs were a bit higher, his average lines were a bit less reachy and less basic, and even though his 1 bad line was pretty putrid, Phe just had more lows and at the end of the day the consistency over the 16 is what gave HVK the win.

Felt the winner was more balanced in most categories and lyrics rolled off the tounge better. One had more wordplay attempts but I feel they lacked the power behind them

Got phe taking this. Bars were a bit more impactful. Both sides had ups and downs but I thought phe was a bit more consistent with it.

got one being more consistant top to bottom woth better wording and angles.

I'll hit this one tonight
