Good read here from both. Was surprised with how this one turned out, expected more from one and less from the other, in a sense. Both had good concepts and executed them well. I feel ones overall punch impact is what takes the win here. Good luck to both. Fairs in, i'm out.

Expo for Celsius concept line: - https://www.letsbeef.com/forums/showthread.php?t=160665

It's KILLERS.

This was an interesting battle. Both had some solid material, but, some stuff I didn't care for a ton. I think one hid those flaws better by having them more spread out in their verse, though, while the other seemed to lose steam from start to finish. 7-7 Esso. 

Solids verse from one. Great overall. The other while light on punches went with some very interesting angles. Fairs in

Overall? Well done guys. Definitely some entertaining content in this one.  This is a pretty close battle. Nothing to critique from a technical standpoint, obviously. The punch count is even and both had a couple highlights, with both also taking advantage of some  personals to make some decent payoff lines. 

So this battle comes down to consistency. To me, Esso's punches ranged from "Yeah, that makes sense and is fine" to "Very good". Whereas on the high end I think EtH had some very memorable lines but on the low end is where EtH fumbled the battle, imo. The "malicious shadow" idea to me was just really weird wording and possibly a little reach, could be just my "preference" but I didn't have to think about anything Esso was saying in terms of whether the wording made sense. But the even bigger one that stood out was the closer. Like, seriously? He'd be so excited he'd jizz his pants? To me it read like something a 5th grader would come up with and IMO it really fucked up the momentum from the preceding bar which is probably the BOTB. 

8-8 Esso in a close one, thanks for the read guys.

Esso your opener was really dope, out the gate swinging, the preoccupied with rule line might be my fav from your verse, along with the Hoe-kay rican bar. EtH the Trump & iran bar was my fav from you, i also thought the sleep paralysis bar and opener were dope too. I got Esso taking the W here cuz every bar hit for me, he rarely missed, whereas EtH had some flat moments imo..Votes in 8-7. 

almost every bar hit*^

"Theres no HOPE FOR HIM IN THIS, only people sayin ‘Eth won’ are da ‘VOTERS WITH A LISP’!"

Wtf lmao ^^^^^^

"Fuck Celsius’ daughter, I hope there’s a NIGHT THAT YOU’VE NOT SLEPT and you go in her room to FIND HER WITH COT DEATH! “

No...

Also felt like etH started off weak, got a little better, and then fell off at the end, multi wise and concept and scheme wise. 

Personally, i gotta give this one to Esso because i liked his set ups a little better. I felt they were more creative. As for EtH you seemed to come off light during the first few bars, but picked up the pace in the middle. I think if you kept with the same consistency like you did in the middle of your verse, you would have taken the DUB. Fv

Not sure whether or not this will be DQ'd so I'll make it a short (but fair & educated) vote. EtH had some hilarious bars but he was not up to par with Esso's really consistent verse here. I have to go with Ess even though I feel dirty for voting against that Iran line (BOTB). Fair's in.

Esso str8 up came swinging with his openers i mean dayum !!! lol but then the tool line was something i would rather use in a 32 and use it to build up another punch which you did but not a 16 tho. still a really nice punch. ra p or verse bit was dope concept wise but was forced wording wise  which took a lot of the sting off. closer was ok. As for ETH the opener was nice nothing too heavy tho but the malishus and seul bit was on point and honestly the gun bit was BOTB shit. and then came the dragunov line which honestly killed me lol. shit pretty much went LMAO from there on for me. overall i got EtH taking this for being able to twist them personals much more effectively here shit could go either way depending of the voter's preference but for me it's always personals and humour with creative flips. which i think EtH had a lil more of here. amazing battle worth every bit of the read. Thank You !

btw shodan,

I feel dirty

^^ you kinky motherfucker!
