Venom of the Red Lotus

One bar battle was kinda one sided first verse was better the dominant just made more ¢cents

anopther super close one, gb

One had a multi that felt stretched out too much and the others punch was a bit too on the nose and didn’t really have any impact in terms of what it actually means. Going with creativity in this one. 

i feel one wasnt enough for a hard punch, the other did all he could w/ the punchlines and wp so it was enjoyable. good bars you guys. fairs in.

fairs in fellas

1 was just a bit 2 forced for my likin, dis goes 2 da more comfortable flow and less stretchd punch 4 my liking

g u t s: Multi's were choppy but good concept and punch, only critque would be it was a generic bar, could've been for anybody.

Freak: Good quick bar here, not everyone might get the personal first part, cause you said you were done w/ LB awhile back but the punch was good, quick and concise bar.

Overall felt like my winner took this with a cleaner bar, loser had a more ambitious concept but had some minor wording issues that cost him this battle. Fair's in fellas, good showing here.

THOUGHT ONE HAD A BETTER FLIP ON HIS BAR. BOTH HAD THEIR FAIR SHARE OF PLYED IDEAS, SUCH AS "FRUIT" AND "POINT". JUST FELT ONE SHINED A BIT MORE. 

G u t s never fails to impress

Freek was a bit more direct and agressive here and I felt worded a lil better. Guts set up multi was a bit awkward and "emptying a stock" I assume referring to guns is simply inaccurate. Leaning slight this way.

No hate at all Freak shit was hot but I gotta roll wit guts on this I mean a fire one bar with a 12 syllable multi? Both were relevant and consistent just felt like guts edged this out due to concept and complexity always RESPECT 💯fairs in

Venom of the Red Lotus

I found this a very tough one to call. g u t s only had the one multi, but it was a very complex and clean one. Freak had several quicker ones, but overall I thought guts was marginally ahead on this count. The wordplay from guts was pretty solid, but I didn't think it was particularly hard-hitting or personal at all, just quite a clever pun. Freak had nameplay which is quite over-used against guts, but did manage to have a fresh take on it, alongside some other wordplay in the closer. At the end of the day the bar with wordplay I felt was on a higher level was the one I gave my vote to.

I think guts killed it here honestly, that bar was mighty impressive, something i resonate with too coz i am an investment banker myself, loved the concept, freak was not bad but was predictable. Guts raised the bar and set up a new benchmark whole tournament with his bar here. This was special. 

This was a tough call for real cuz each of you were stronger in other aspects.. Im gonna go with yhe stronger punch here.. 

One dude had a heavy punch but the other had a heavy hay maker. Ones blow shook his opponent. The losers bar was set up nicely respect for that. Salute to the advancer

One was clearly more creative.
