Expo: Last bar set, Lock deleted his account before after losing a battle. Bank accounts deleting accounts after someone has passed away. Rest should be straight forward. 

G'Look, Lock. 

Lizman 5-4 in my favor removed. 

Welcome to Thw Finals of the 2020 Text Summer Throwdown! You have until the 16th of August at 11:59 PM EST to submit your 16 lined verse. One time extensions will be granted as needed, but do not take advantage of this. Good luck!

2FUEL showin out with ambitious multis and slick rhymes. Some crazy moments here. Defense against the dark arts was flames. The last four took this from 7 to 8 for me. It's some difficult stuff to make a long multi work THAT well, and it pays off when it does. Lockhart made himself hard to beat here with pure consistancy. Lighten up a bit was fuckin hilarious, and then the hits keep comin from there. There's nothing as technically crazy as Fuel's ending in the verse, but it doesn't need it. Every couple lines something hits, from the paraplegic bit, premium gas, and five hour energy to the back to the future closer. Absolutely insane text battle. Both came to win and killed it. Got my winner going over by 1 point. 

Fair vote is in. One's set ups and punchlines were better to me. Multi's and Rhymes were more creative also. The loser had two complex punches that interested me, but the other punches weren't as flowing as the winner. 

Pandemonium 

2feul solid drop as always...for me your second half ...starting with "spitting over a beat" is where u really started to get on your bag..and finished it off with a dope closer.

Lock that opener was a dope creative flip on Feuls last battle..it hit hard imo, actually the whole verse hit hard...wat am saying...dope shit!

Wow! This was definitely worth my time reading. That "closing armories" and that last bar are some that stood out to me. Good shit. Lock came with a more humorous round. That whole Eth N all, and stuck in '93 play had me laughing my ass off. I like how both were really confident in roasting each other which made this enjoyable. I got my winner for the harder hitting punches and just better nameplay for me. Hmu if you need a better expo

both were amazing nothing to critique on these 2 verses,my vote goes to lockhart,i liked the way he was direct and personal when throwing punches,he also dissed 2fuels previous lyrics which i liked very much because it had a deep personal feel to it 

Panda Lets go GL y'all dope battle 

2FUEL: First line is definetly PAUSE lol, gay jokes seem dated at this point but to each is own I guess, structually it was a solid line though. Second line was FIRE, I know Lock isn't racist but you pulled off the concept, props on the Harry Potter/ Lockhart bar too, I tried it and it didn't hit. Newborn bar was cool, nice jab work. Next scheme was good too, Archery/Arteries/Armories, good personal at the end. Dope finisher here! Personal was on point and concept was creative af. Overall great tourney verse, multi level was impressive, everyone would've had a problem with this.

Lockhart: Hilarious flip here, unintentionally, but still, good start. Next lines were funny, not sure if he said but it makes sense, great punch too. Paraplegics bit was nice and that Premium gas bar was Flames! I'm not in the "know" so the personal was okay but Symmetry part was great. Colossal line was good, nice tie-in, Five Hour Energy punch was hard. Finisher was niiiice, liked the set up and angle of BTTF. Overall, I think you wanted it to look like you didn't try hard but the writting was on point. Overall felt like you had a dope verse but you could've tried hard on the multi's, especially on the finals, but this is still a really creative drop.

Overall: My winner let off stronger punches here, loser had some slight wording issues and concepts could've been a touch more "out of the box". Loser also did better with multi's but Winner was a bit more creative in his approach. DOPE fucking battle here in the finals, congrats to both for making this a good one.

I been trying to stay intuned with the text side all throughout the tourney and I believed the 2 that deserved to be here are! With that said I enjoyed both verses the complexity and entertaining aspect. Both said some shit that had me like nice! I thought 1 was a bit more superior and clever with the lines and therefore after 6 re-reads I made my decision. 9-9 for my winner!

Impressive from both sides. I'd say one edged it with a bit more consistency and punches thrown. Also the opener my winner had was clever and the approach he took was on point. It was almost like he knew exactly what his opponent was going to say to write...Great final! You both came in and killed it!

KILLERS

*was going to write

Ladies n gents WE GOT A BATTLE!

Fuel your opener was funny and i thought it was well written. The Dark arts bar that followed was nice but i felt like it could've been shortened, it seems very stretched out and threw the rhyming off for me. Day you was born bar was hard! The following bar was a decent hit i liked it. The closer was dope, may be your botb. I thought you delivered a dope verse.

Lock- Opener was cool. The bar that followed was super dope, the way u flipped his Anus bleaching line, fire. Parapeligic bar was also dope. Premium gas is another solid hit. Symmetry line hit as well lmao. The closing lines were nice too.

This one was close, both delivered solid verses. I thought Locks material was a bit more creative. So i got him with the edge. 10-10

It's the finals so I'ma break all your shit down in chunks. 

first 2FUEL:

If his pastor took his balls out lock'd start SKULLING THE PAIR AND FAPPING AT MASS. This “Asshole” throwing punches? Nah, but he does be “Hitting back” when someones PULLING HIS HAIR AND SLAPPING HIS ASS!!

lol..Its a good bar. The only thing is I don't get how he's 'hitting back' if someone's slapping HIS ass?

*Pause* As this battle COMMENCE: EVENTS WILL 'SPARK' PARTS of what this “Religious fiend, Post up” like the SUSPENSE IMMENSE WHEN 'HART START? Or catch a solid-body like he's TRAFFICKING SCULPTURES but when it comes to AFRICAN CULTURES this Klansman named himself 'Lockhart', cause he 'believes in DEFENSE AGAINST THE DARK ARTS!!

First of all its refreshin to re-visit text battles cuz ya'll actually use internal rhymes and this is a good example of using internals related to your punch. Then the African Culture/'Dark Arts' to wrap up the punch was nice. I feel like the beginning part of the bar wasnt sayin much, but I understand it was to set up the punch with the scheme.

Spitting over a beat? Some will SAY THAT YOU'RE ON but the closest you came to “Fresh shit, sliding out” was the DAY YOU WERE BORN!!Think he's the “Mind state to handle points” as if he had CHOSEN ARCHERY? But battling me will result in this weak “Hart feeling the strain” like BROKEN ARTERIES cause he ain't shooting shit, only time “Lock was around firearms” he was CLOSING ARMORIES!

Again, solid bar. Nice set up, like how the set up was a punch with the 'fresh shit sliding out', like how you closed the verse with 'Lock was around firearms'/Closing armories.

I wonder, will Lock “Keep this L on the Q.T” like the YANKS READING SOME DISCRETE LETTERS or will he continue firing those BLANKS LEADING TO RELEASED TEMPERS as he's known to “Empty his vault of emotion, if he doesn't win” when the MANS FEELING HE'S BEEN BEAT TENDER & “Have his account deleted, after a loss” like BANKS DEALING W/ DECEASED MEMBERS!!

ngl I didnt get the first part of this bar. And again props on the multis but I feel like you could've used this space in the text bar to get some haymakers off rather than some jabs that connect with the scheme.

Overall, good verse. I like how you didnt keep it simple at all with the way you schemed, had clever punches, used internals, had humor.

I'm shuttin down the suspect LINES YA RUNNIN WITH. You're a blue state voter thinkin gay RIGHTS ARE GONNA WIN! Last round ya said "if he “Brush over his shit whole w/a fresh look” he's having his ANUS BLEACHED!!" I swear ya the TYPE TO SUCK A DICK. Ironic ya use all that faggot shit, cause you're an asshole that needs to LIGHTEN UP A BIT!

Haa, ya both had 'ass' lines out the gate, so this almost feels like a rebuttal. Like how you referenced his last round and brought the punch together at the end with the bleach/asshole needs to lighten up

I can't believe the site-has-come-to-this... Ya outdated 90's style is what ya should KEEP IN THE PAST. In past tourneys you've had a harder time steppin up than what paraPLEGICS WOULD HAVE! You'll say some shit like "I'll have ya EtH 'n all pay at the pump" hopin PEOPLE REACT when it's CHEESY, IN FACT, it's ironic: "FUEL's stuck on '93" yet the crowd won't give him any "PREMIUM GAS"!

Like how you keep the same scheme to start the next.. lighten up a bit, site-has-come-to-this. The 90's style/parapalegic would have was a nice set up within the scheme but that last part was the haymaker, dope 90's/fuel concept.

Let's leave-it-at-that... Ya ducked Coronation cause ya knew ya LIGHT ROUND WAS HISTORY. Ya folded cause ya knew it'd look the same either way: you bout to FIND OUT IT'S SYMMETRY! Colossal woulda put ya ass to sleep. He woulda murdered you 'n then SNIPED DOWN YA INFANTRY ya woulda "crashed after takin shots from Mini, FUEL" - FIVE HOUR ENERGY!

Again nice transition w/ using the previous scheme. Symmetry line was dope, ColossalMini/5 Hour Energy was dope too. I'm seeing a theme with very direct personals and solid punches weaved into them.

Ya not worth my best bars. You beating me? THAT WAS A RUMOR. "Hit the road or ya takin flight" leavin this MATCH AS THE LOSER I'm just "usin throwaways for FUEL": Doc Brown in BACK TO THE FUTURE! KILLERS.

Decent closer, kinda feels like you just needed to fit the 16 lines and threw that together, but it was a nice effort and a decent Back To The Future reference.

Anyway good spar from both..tried to break this shit down best as I can so ya'll know there's no b.s.. You both did your thing in terms of multis & punches, but I feel like one of ya'll had more haymakers because they brought in other aspects like wordplay & personals which added more sting to their punches, and it comes off as they put in a little more thought to their verse. Good luck to both.

🔥 🔥 Woah that was dope. Great on both sides I was feeling both of you and you threw down some insane multis and man those set ups and punches were hitting nice! I gave it to fuel for readability and flow.. I kept tripping up and reading locks over cuz I couldn't make sense of some of it lol. 

Great battle!!

I think I'm gonna have to give this to lock for the harder punches. Both had great punches and insane flow with the multies, it made this one a very difficult choice. Great battle to both. 

logged into this shit hole to vote and blocked from doing so. locks verse was pretty average to me, but fuel was horrible. bad stuff. booooo. anyways vote doesn't count but honestly not impressed with fuel here. 

10s for both putting on a great ass show and having everyone talk about this finals. Gave this one to lock based off of how well rounded his verse was. Definitely some of fuels best work and he was well rounded also, but one guy had much more of a sting within his. Again, cheers to both guys. Both are getting mad props from everyone, and thanks for a classic battle.

both are epic but lock said "i swear ya the TYPE TO SUCK A DICK" that reach did it for me lets gooo

All in all this was a good read with some funny and interesting lines from both. It did feel like both of you used a lot of tired lock/heart/fuel nameplays that I know you're both creative enough to do better than, altho where you used them it was generally in a fresh way so it wasn't a big issue. I thought FUEL's best line was his dark arts one and Lock's was the bleached asshole flip. Solid final all round, I gave this one to the verse I felt was a bit more fluid and clear throughout.

Happy Punk?

Damn!!This is what you call a battle.2FUEL your the lockhart reference just blew my mind.For a minute i was like so caught up in the brains behind that bar .It was not an easy punchline to pull off.It needed a very solid setup and u did that .So hats off for that.And towards that end that crazy 7 syllable rhyme scheme killed me.U won here if it came to who had the best highlights or technicality bbut we r talkin bout insults and punches on a consistent basis and lockhart did that.He takes the cake here imo.Great job lockhart u have great consistency when it comes to ur content .Every bar ur hittin him hard.Overall great battle the both of u.

How do you battle?

I'm legendary.
