Congratulations to both of you for making it to round 2 of One Bar Tournament #8!

The deadline to post by is Monday 23rd March, 11:59pm EST.

Good luck!

Can I get expos for both of these 

Dope one here! Got this going to MacArthur. I think REZN's concept was pretty good, but I think it's all looted / it's saluted kind of threw it off for me. Still a pretty good bar due to the freshness. But, Mac had both the dope concept and the wonderful execution to go with it. Get the picture bars have been done before but this is probably the best I've seen. 3 parts to it basically. Maybe im just nostalgic but the Banjo Kazooie bar hit hard for me. Fair is in, good luck to the winner 

#Classick !!!

Rant I saw where you were going with it, it just didn't get there for me dawg. I think a more fitting setup at the beginning would've helped you here. Mac, Banjo Kazooie? That was flames. Dope spar here but one bar just hit much harder for me.

I dunno who MacArthur is but to my surpirse I had him winning here. I felt Rant's bar was a bit stretched and the concept just was not doing it for me. MacArthur's bar was really nicely executed, with my only qualm there being that I would've preferred capped multis, not that I couldn't read them as-is. But the reason this won because the concept was super clever, and seamlessly integrated a lot of "moving parts" into one really recognizable reference with a clever flip. Pretty clear win here. Fair's in.

This was an excellent bout. Both bars initially threw me off a little but now that I understand them both are clearly excellent bars. REZN, the wordplay just threw me here reading it. MacArthur, I wasn't familiar with Banjo Kazooie without your expo so it didn't have the immediate impact that is especially important in a one-bar where you only have one punch to throw.

Great bout here, I'm sure for North American voters it was even better due to accents and cultural references being clearer.

Not bad but my gonna lean toward MacArthur here because I think he established a strong angle from setup to punch, cohesive and creative. REZN wasn't bad but its saluted/it's all looted is slightly off to me with the different a sound. 

i felt both were creative n nice but one was a bit more funny which had me chuckle. I reccomend capping the multis and the verses wouldve look better. fv.

I'll be honest, neither punch stood out as a haymaker, but I have my winner based off of which bar had higher quality. Whoever advances will need to step it up a notch.
