Both done their thing here. Concepts were decent but one executed theirs slightly better than the other. Props to both and best of luck to the winner. Keeping vote concealed. 

Welcome to the 2020 Fall Throwndown Tournament! The deadline for posting will be on the 17th of October at 11:59 PM EST and the round will end on the 20th of October at 11:59 PM EST. I will grant an extension of 24 hours for each battler if needed, however, do not abuse this rule.

There can only be one.

good battle here!! nice decent flips from both and lucidly worded for the most parts with near flawless flows, i think dave took the cake on the flow aspectof things though. felt like mel's punches were a bit more fresher which made them land harder more consistently as compared to dave's who's consistency was a little shaky but had the same highs but lower lows which cost him this one imo. very close battle.

Mel with the strong opener respect. Lovin the multis. Mice receeding hairline bar. Nice set up to tunneling his deep grave. Dope multi rhyme scheme. Kept goin wit it. Damn. Respect. Hard finish!  dave not so strong open. Finished hard tho. Some of ur lines felt forced rhyme wise. Still good job.  Respect. I feel one was more direct. Flowed and stayed consistant while the other didnt as well but both brought nice verses. 

MACKS 

I was lookin forward to this one. Both was good.  But one didnt bring it like I thought they would. Still wasnt bad at all tho. 

I Think OHIM Is A Gambler. Also, Minus Point For The "MUSCLING THIS MEEK ‘WANK’" Bar.

Lie When You Sit Line Was Funny. 'Box' Continuity Was Clever. Canteen Line Doesnt Work (You Shouldve Replaced "SERVING" With "FIRST IN")

I Don't Know Who To Give This To.

Both had some nice punches (i.e. bingo gran and meet weight from Mel, dying your wig and rock & a crack pipe from Dave) but also a lot of filler or lines that didn't connect.

Mel your opener definitely had a double meaning that could have been a punch, but unfortunately it wasn't structured in the right way to connect as a punch. "sets the bar low" was a nice double entendre, but when you revealed the double-meaning ("midget limbo") you need to fit that into your rhyme scheme, otherwise it isn't really a rap punchline its just a prose joke. The next punch was an example of this working – "putting more dots on em" was in the setup and then the flipping of that meaning was worked into the rhyme with "TICKET STAMPS". Also, you need to have your rhymes closer together. At the moment you just have too many syllables in between your rhymes in many places (mainly the first part of your verse) which kills the flow.

Dave you made quite a few basic errors here, like repeating "mankey" twice in the rhyme scheme, or "obviously that type" which was 6 syllables in an otherwise 5-syllable scheme and really threw off the flow of the bar. Also just try to make sure your wording is natural and believable in all your lines, "I'll sever your spleen" doesn't sound very natural as an insult, probably in large part because it isn't anatomically possible. The dying your wig, lie when you sit and LB's morgue punches were all very simple but cleanly executed, try to make sure all your bars are written this cleanly and are as clear to understand.

I've changed my mind a few times on how to vote here, I think this is on a knife edge either way. Good battle!

This was nearly dead even for me.

Both had similar issues in regards to flow and rhyme schemes. Felt the amount of bunches (and overall quality) was pretty similar.

Win was edged by the one with less filler in their drop.

Fair is in.

This battle was super close. Mel: You've got creative ideas/concepts. You just need to improve your wording and make sure that it's more straight forward. For instance the whole puddle at ya feet dave/tunelling his deep grave. You had 16 words inbetween jungle quit or be prey and tunelling your deep grave. So it throws off the flow and makes it a bit too wordy. Your punches that hit were the ones where it was more straight forward (ex: ticket stamps and struggling to keep weight) those were your best of the verse. Tighten up the wording and make sure it's clear what your punches are about. Dave: You have a solid flow and most of your multis sound clean because they aren't too forced. Your strengths are definitely flow and multis. A couple of broken mults in terms of syllables. You just need to work on incorporating more punchlines into your verse. Punches win battles and multis don't. The whole duck cause man can't swing a punch multi set was dope but it was really just multis. King of the pack/decking the queen and wig bars were nice. Incorporate more punches like that into your verse on every bar and you'll be good. This was a coin toss decision for me and one battler was just slightly more entertaining to me. Fairs in
