Both brought the FLAMES! Concepts-wise this was pretty close but I got my winner taking this with a cleaner execution of his punches. Loser had some nice ideas but his wording was a bit off, punches just didn't connect as well.
Best bar from each, Phe: you the champ? Nah 'you should've been grasping that bronze' since Rai's punches left ya "HOLDING CAVITIES" you're with the boys in blue' but the JOKE IS.. THE TRAVESTY in how 'you studied being a gangsta then copped out' KNOWING ELABORATELY that the only time 'you been subject to arrest' was joining "the POLICE ACADEMY"/
Rieper: Apollyon'll get added to the stack when I put the mortar down like brickMASONS SUPPLIED IT, cause if you "roam with animals? You'll get pelted" like white-men were SLAYIN' THE BISON! Doubt me? I'm known for skin removal, folks'll see me take a BLADE 'N THEN SLICE 'N docs'll be lookin to get "Polly' grafts" since you wanna CLAIM THAT I'M "LYIN"!

Firstly, congratulations on making it to the final of the Text Grand Championsip! There was some decent punches from both verses, but one just had a few more quotable bars and was over-all a little cleaner in his execution, which has me ultimately leaning towards him. Fairs in yall, thank-you for the read & goodluck to the both of you!

First time voting on a battle in a while. Good to see two former AC's in the final. Phe- I really fucks w/ the double entendre type bars. Some good creative conepts. I did find that some of your rhymes were forced. Also you were a bit too wordy inbetween multis which made the flow choppy. I found myself having to re read your bars to catch the flow. Some of the concepts to flips came off a bit bland. Rieper- I thought your verse was really clean. The flow was smooth. Some nice puns too. At times the punch was a bit too obvious from looking at the set up. A couple of played concepts. However, you were much more consistent w/ the punches that landed and overall flow. I've got Rieper winning this 8-7

One dude hit harder here. From beginning to end his wordplay was far more superior. Not to take anything from the loser though; dude was dope and had some nice jabs followed up by a couple haymakers. Nice battle here fellas and good luck to the winner
