Good Luck, Gentlemen.

Good luck, Brick. Dope verse.

No doubt...dope shit Brayne, good luck!

I got brickrepper taking this. He had the better ideas and executed them in a more creative way. Brayne i liked some of your bars like your opener which was cool, but you were very inconsistent here. Votes in. Z

Hmmm....For Brayne Ded I did think that your verse was well worded and flowed quite nicely. I thought that you opened pretty strongly and I also felt that the last part of the verse was strong as well. Conceptually I didn't really care that much for the middle of the verse, though there was nothing wrong with it structurally or anything.  For Brickrepper I can't say that I cared that much for it...I think there are two general issues that I had, the first is that a fair amount of the wording is awkward. As a general rule I'm always of the opinion that if a phrase don't make sense when spoken out loud it doesn't magically get to make sense in a text battle. You had a lot of this in your verse, enough to really bring it down for me. Beyond that, I didn't really care for most of your ideas. I think you may have had some alright ideas floating around in your head, but they didn't execute at all in the battle. 

first of all, always nice to see a brayne ded verse LOL was ecpecting a meme for some reason too but since that wasn;t mean to be imma vote against him !!! LOL 

jokes apart. good battle here guys had to google a few things for clarity too but overall i think punch for punch brick got this one pretty convincingly for me for the better use of personals while i felt brayne lacked the usual bone daddy feel in his verse. thats domestic dispute shit btw.... dayum !!

Repper was ruthless every punch held some weight, Brayne has some up and downs. Repper style was just smooth and his delivery was on point

Congratulations on the W, Brick! Good luck in the next round, man.

S/O to both of you. Respect. This was dope.

This was a battle where both sides brought some great highlights but also brought some real filler. Ultimately I felt Brayne had a higher volume of filler, but also had higher highlights, whereas Brick had more direct punches but more of them fell flat due to execution issues. That made it a very close call, but in the end I gave it to the battler I thought was more ambitious.
