MURDER

DedSec!

Grizz really good here n very polished solid hits, 2Fuel was alright to behobest had some nice flows here n there but improved at the end So i vote for who I think just nailed it here. But both did their thing here. fv no h8

MURDA

goo battle here, grizz was the suave victorias secret model here while 2fuels was a pornstar with the punches here. love to fuck with both anyday buti think given a choise i did say i would edge this to fuel here by a margin smaller than a feminist's IQ.

Grizz that level bar was dope asf. Everything onward was good except the closer. Now Fuel to be real nothing jumped out at me but the Rican bar prediction was nice asf, just wish you did more with it. Overall consistent tho as well. I'm giving this to who had a couple stronger punches, fairs in great read

One took this with smoother readability, coupled with the stronger concepts, which is ironic considering the other remarked on his opponent's readability. The other had some really awkward rhyming, and some punches that I wasn't really impressed by. 7-6 GRizzEAT.

Had to read this a couple times. I feel like Fuel played this a little too safe. The Christmas card was the hardest hitting punch and then nothing was as creative or impactful. Technically sound....and then there was a huge pause moment in the middle about Jacking off Jesus. Grizz was a little more creative. Flow wasn't as clean as Fuels but wasn't bad either. The appraisal bar was a bit of a reach.pseudocyesis and level bars were good hits. Overall I think the impact of Grizzs punches was a little more so I'm leaning that way in a close one. 

I thought this was a close bout with a lot of memorable lines, with the really creative concepts standing out in both verses. My winner mainly came down to consistency, and what I mean by that is I feel one verse brought reasonably clever ideas for punches in just about every line whereas my loser had a few filler lines and some basic punches at a few more points.

GRizz, your opener was solid but nothing to write home about; but then your 'level' punch was a haymaker imo, I had absolutely no idea what was coming but you still built up to it strongly and with things that made sense both ways you read them in the context of the rest of the sentence. Please write every bar like this. Pseudocyesis was another cleanly executed bar, I think the concept might have been a bit niche especially without an expo but I got it first read so maybe not idk. I thought your weakest bar was the 'appraise' one, because "he went to try and 1 appraise" doesn't make sense grammatically, but more imporantly doesn't make a great deal of logical sense in the context of "it lessened his worth" because we have no idea what he was getting appraised.

FUEL, that McCann line was cold. I read your expo first and as soon as I saw the word "McCann" I was like "oh it's just gonna be a 'the kid'll go missing like Madeleine McCann' punch or something obvious" but the Christmas post thing was brutal and unexpected. Massive props, that is a very clever spin on the concept. I think the way you worded it was a bit strange and could have been reworded a lot, but honestly the concept and the way it was executed made up for it for me. However, people unfamiliar with the McCanns' story probably won't feel the same way so seriously make sure you don't squander ideas like this with sketchy wording in future bouts. Other than that I thought your "Eat on the floor" line was probably your best, although I think it had potential to be expanded with a sticks/chopsticks bit considering it was right there in the setup. I thought the air hostesses line was a bit awkwardly worded, I knew what you were trying to flip but I just don't think it came across making sense both ways how it was done here.

Overall an enjoyable bout to read and vote on. GL to whoever moves forward!

This was a tough one, fair votes in.
