Good battle here... slightly undecided (slightly tipsy (Irish tipsy that is) so will check it out tomorrow and vote then. Either way, good luck to whomever goes through. 

Dose: You certainly have a good fluidity to your piece. Some nice bars though for text they need a little more work/more complicated set ups and punches. I think you may start checking out the audio side of battling, you may fair out better there than here. Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable read. Just need some work on linking lines together/having each part be in relation to the next. Sean: Opening bar was a nice concept along with the chess one, that was delivered nicely. Ending concept was good but i don't feel it garnnished as much of a sting as t could have. Nonetheless, you've the better structured piece than Does, bars that relate to one another/connect. A good read. Best of luck to whomever goes through, fairs in, i'm.

good battle fellas close shit my fair is always tossed very close shit 

I have to give it to IamTheName here. Both were great. And honestly I didn’t like IamtheNames opener. It just built to the Timothy white, gut and your thigh. I just thought it was predictable and could’ve been a better opener considering the rest starting at rolled up in hoodies and bikes to the end was straight fire 🔥 in my opinion. Best I’ve seen in a while from anybody cause it all made sense to everybody reading it, Jab after jab with effortless flow and good word choosing in your rhymes. Anybody would have a really difficult time beating this. 

Just clarify people.... Its not Iamthename its iamtheNme I.e enemy 👀 

NME I'm sure you may have had enough feedbacks about your bars here already all i have to say is though unlike ur other battles this time you were much lower on metaphors and multis than ur usual i really dnt know why that is but it kinda hurt you pretty bad in this battle esp when it/s with guys like sean who wasn't at his best either but had sparks of it here and there esp with that teflon line coz at the beginning he was dissing guts more lol almost like he had pre written shit for a different folks which he compiled in this verse. good decent beginning to the tourney either way and all the best to both !!

Cheers for the expo saaaxxxx to be honest I rushed the post thought I was gonna be late.. Think Sean did the same I believe... So I felt I delivered below par but it came off better than expected... Sometimes I think I should do audio as sometimes my verses sound out better than writtens.... But I enjoyed this battle which I can't say often.. #rustyashell 

NME - if you can do audios with your verses it will be seriously dope coz ur verses do have that audio aspect throughout.

One was on a different scale here. All around more creative and complex in areas that his opponent wasn't.  My loser here needs to up the multi count and work on throwing more punches and jabs. Stronger metaphors for setups and closing lines could really help your pen game out. Fair is in yall
