APOC!

DEDSEC!! yo Noir, a Venn Diagram is still a graph!

BITCH IT'S DEDSEC. TALK THAT SHIT

Think the only expo that is needed, is that he watches alot of anime. The Head Hunter is one of those. 

If anything else needs an expo, just hit me up before voting and I'll gladly give a further expo. 

Good battle, Nior. Been a while. 

CLASSICK u BASTIDS!!!

After reading this fire ass match-up a slew of times i have my winner. First off shouts and thanks to you guys for the hard work and puttin on a spectacular show. In my mind you are both winners but i can only choose one and he is Bleu here's why.........Rai you didnt disappoint in your approach, structure, content, and execution. Though imo the verse as a whole wasn't as fluid as Bleu plus punchwise he had the stronger landing shots. Also i wish you would have put an original nameflip or two just to be a touch more well rounded. I loved the winch your way out punch that was crack. Still an ill drop and vs virtually anyone else i would've gave it to you. Bleu you really excelled here demonstrating why you have the rep you do. I mean the relavancy from opening bar through the punchline is astonishing the first half of your verse with all the money references and the finesse of it was executed beautifully and that Rai vindication line was tough as nails. Glad to see your return and good luck to you on both runs. RESPECT TO BOTH BATTLERS! my fair is in

Yo, cool battle here. I have Noir taking this one. I think he had a couple more highlight reel punches, and also felt that overall his wording and shit was just a little cleaner to read and his concepts were a bit of a cut above in terms of the freshness. 

Highlights: noir - counterfeit bills, the forklift set, closer 

Rai - hose, closer

This was a very close, high-calibre bout but I think both verses here were lacking in consistency. I thought both of your openers were weak tbh, and both of you took a while to pick up into high gear. I think you both closed really well though, so ultimately my winner was the one who could pick up steam the most quickly.

I've got my winner after one read. Rai's verse was pretty damned good with no major slip-ups except some weird rhyming in the opening and some of his typical forced punch style, and even those were a lot less bad than usual. I really liked the closer too, even though it was written in the same style it was super dope. However, Noir was just too good here, swinging with back-to-back haymakers with ridiculously fluent execution. The counterfeit bills bar is like a lesson in how to pull off a clever punch. So I've got Noir winning this one pretty handily. Fair's in.

Rai “Spent So Long” getting a “Penny For His Thoughts”, igNORED AS A CONTENDER So this kid thought us tagging "Made All The Cents In The World" like it'd SURE BECOME A RECORD!

When he asked to team up, I said “ok, I’m BORED AS FUCK, WHATEVER” See, you were "Banking On Piggy Back[i]n" then only got a "QUARTER OF MA EFFORT!!!"

Decent concept carried thru. But doesn't rly hit hard & feels a bit filler, like what's your point exactly—that you didn't try? Did yall take an L in a tag tourny n your braggin' about it rn??? It doesn't feel exactly like blows to your opponent so far other than "you should've been able to carry me" but I'll give you a jab. (1)

- “None Of Them Lines On The Money”.. your ASS BOUTTA GIT KILLED He said I wouldn’t “Test Em With The Pen” then stole my SWAG, HOW DOES IT FEEL?!  

Your bars TRASH DOWN TO THE BUILD.. He jus “Completely Missin The Mark On Em” like he HAD COUNTERFEIT BILLS!!!

Read the expo, dig the concept (did you use it twice at the beginning n end there?). First bar in still felt a bit filler. Feel like the concepts execution could be better/condensed to bring a bit more hit/efficiency to your punches. This the first one I feel rly registered. (2)

Far as his punch style goes? “He Got It From His Dad” like he helped this KID TA DISCOVER THE SITE, RIIIGHT.. Any more HICCUPS, OR BLUNDERS W/ BITES? YIKES! We won’t see any sorta “Rai-Vindication” when he “TRIPPIN UP - UNDER THE BRIGHT LIGHTS!!!”

Solid personal jab-hook here. Read the expo and dig the creativity/wordplay you brought to the concept. Think this is a solid combo (4)

You work in a warehouse.. Claimin you “PICKIN UP THE BEAMS” Call my revolver a “Side Loader”, you GRIPPIN WHAT? YA KNEES? “Pal-It’s Stackin Up”.. That’s the ONLY time you “LIFT-IN A MACHINE!!!”

Another solid creative personal here. (5)

It’s “Light Punches Hitting Nothing But Air In Your PAD" SO WATCH & LISTEN You “Beating The Greats Is All In Your Head”, you ain’t ACTUAL COMPETITION All you can do is “Pretend To Put Up A Fight” cuz you “in their/there SHADOW - BOXIN WITH’EM!!!” DedSec

Ended really stong here. Shadow boxin' concept was dope & well executed. (6)

------------------------------------------

See, Bleu carried Aggo to the tag final. Which I THINK WAS A SCAM I mean. Why give those Hopeless-Lines-A-Spin, if he could "have them Both-As-Tight-As-His" like a SWINGER'S ROMANCE?

Dig the multies. Solid concept n decent execution for an opening jab. (1)

He'll try to beat me now, n step into the RING W/ THE CHAMP But since I'ont have Row-To-Write-His-Shit?...You'll "find this Hoe's-In-Quite-The-Pinch".. as I "Put a KINK" IN HIS PLAN!"(Hose)

Consistent multies flow really well. Solid creative hook to follow thru. Kink/Hoe(s) concept could kinda work two ways too lol. (2)

U said u'd win the concept TOURNAMENT, THAT'S A SHAME, Thought u were "The Head Hunter", that could WORK INTO 'HATTAN'S BRAIN but were "Channeling A Fantasy That Was So Unrealistic", it's had u "SEARCHING FOR ANIME!"

Read the expo. Dig the concept for a solid personal punch. (3) 

You shouted Hell-No! when exposed for Self-Votes. You should "DITCH" THAT CLAIM NOW cuz the way "the mods had u QUICKLY CHAINED DOWN"? Shows you "Couldn't Pull Through The Mess U Got Yourself Into", n still tried to "WINCH" YOUR WAY OUT!"

Feel like this was a long way to call him out for self-votes hahah like I see the chain/winch concept but don't think it delivered hard as a creative punch overall. A filler-y jab none-the-less. (4)

When you tagged-w/me? You pulled out a bag-of-weed.. Didn't even TRY N WE LOST Cuz when "Put To The Test, You Pissed It All Away" for "Getting HIGH ON THE JOB!"

Oh shit, so Noir was braggin' bout an L in your opener? hahaha I see the drug test concept—another solid counter jab gettin personal. (5)

After Seul beat u? u deCIDED TO GHOST, but fuck it, u "had a good run before cashing out: On ya way to the reTIREMENT HOME!"

Is this bar suppose to rhyme w the last one? It does in a weird british accenty way I feel like hahah 'n carries the concept/inner scheme as well so I'll give the benefit of the doubt (unlike SOME PPL on here) bc textcees should do that. Solid follow thru punch off the jab here. (6)

He came w/a "Jaw Dropping Finisher"- That hit RIGHT ON THE NOSE We all "Seen Your Face Droop, As It Looked Completely One Sided"... "showing SIGNS OF A STROKE!!"

Bit of a filler concept for a closer, kinda milkin it at this point, not really a heymaker but a solid follow thru. (7)

*This is like beyond close for me. Both brought creative personal punches. Rai might've edged it w multies but both came w a solid delivery 'n flow. The winner here ultimately edged it w volume of effective punches I think.
