Posteddddddddddddd.

G'Luck, Guts. 

CLASSICK!!!

Will be back to vote on this one later!

Just kidding lol, voting now.

I'ma keep my vote super-concealed cos this one will be close. Feel free to IM me for more feedback on specific bars. I felt my winner had some slightly more creative ideas in that I thought their bars flipped the setup much more on its head instead of my loser, who I thought was a little more direct with his punches. Just realised Rai is a mod and can see my vote but I'll pretend it's concealed anyway. I thought Rai and Guts both put on showings that were their strongest showing by far in the past month or so, and I think whoever comes out on top of this one must be eyeing up a serious shot at the final.

Rai: Best bar was your closer, I fucking loved that one lol. Weakest was probably the Near Death Experience line.

Guts: I think your Rican line might have been your strongest, that made me chuckle lol. Weakest would have been the "rays your namesake" one.

CLASSICK u BASTIDS!

Rai did his thing. Guts did his thing..Rai really puts effort in showed alot of dishin n personals, n Guts good w da rebuttles and name flips. nice job both. I vote for the one who I felt really came thru here. GB fairs in.

one flow hit it home more than the other. Guts had the punches but they were nowhere near as solid as rai here. There were wording issues. Also, the punches and setups could've been slightly more creative. Fairs in. Gb

Super close bout here. Felt Rai had a more consistent punch pattern. Most of his concepts were solid. Guts also had some good concepts but had more missed than his opponent. Super close though. I have one edging it with a more consistent verse. 

Rai did well to rhyme with 10 syllables here. Pulled it off fairly well. Definitely a few good punches in there but as is usual with most that use a scheme so long there were spots that took some long winded setups and compromised wording to make the line work. Guts took a more personal approach and was funny in a couple spots. Started off strong but really fell off when the ray nameplays got super redundant. Gotta lean toward Rai here for having a bit more consistent impact from start to finish. 

I had some problems with Rai's verse, but Rai already knows what I usually say about his verses so I won't bother bringing them up again. Guts had a verse that was stylistically similar, honestly, but wasn't quite on the same level as Rai in terms of concepts and executions despite good hits like Ray Bans, Tag he lostin, and Deflate Gate. Although, Rai did have some trash like "domestic business a firm is arranging" (what does that even mean in context?). Fair's in.

Tbh for as much as people gas y'all up ii expected more from both of you, ii feel the loser didn't really have much heavy or creative punching and the winner although forced(*dino jimmy voice) and also recycled a concept on purpose I'm guess to be funny or just give the middle finger lmao- takes it here with some creative concepts, and a consistent structure, you both did your thing but like i said ii expected an amazing battle and it wasn't there for me. Fairs in

Good battle, the fair vote is in.

Yooo slick battle. This is hard to choose, one came with good multis and strong punches but the other came with direct personals and dope punches. Guts this is one of my fav verses from you (I haven't been on this site long to know too much) and rai this was a strong ass verse. My vote goes very very slightly to one. My fav bars 

how badly everybody clowns on your multis' it's like you HIRED RICAN TO GHOSTWRITE!!!

"Pat on the Back While Throwing That Up"? Try the "corRECT POSITION FOR BURPING A BABY!!"/
