Entertaining reads on both side. Ones story telling and poetic technique was stronger than the others here. Best of luck to whoever goes through. Fairs in, lads.

Topic: You're on a mission to extract a blood diamond.

I've read both and I'm going to have to come back to drop a fair. This is a weird one to try and judge.

I feel like both were good in the story-telling area of this, but chode had a better flow and creativity in his rhymes. No hate. Honest af.

This is fucking hard to judge.

MR - I really like the turn of desperation in this verse from being kidnapped and turning it around at the end. I feel like a slight bit more complexity with the rhyming would have elevated this up a small bit but very well done.

Chode - I like the more amount of rhymes but the story itself didn't elicit as much of am emotional response. It was very on topic but felt like you didn't create as much of an attachment to the person in the story as you just told a story of you having a job. 

This shit was difficult to write to I'm sure but I like how MR added his own kidnapping spin to it and made it somewhat original. TC you did good in the verse but the actual story of it was more basic.

Both had beautiful imagery and stories. It felt like I was watchin two movies. However I had a hard time followin Mask story at two places:

1. "I know why they want me here, when these mines were built I handled the plans, passed the exams, I know these mountains like the back of my hand!". This doesn't feel like reason organic enough to kidnap someone to look for diamonds. Based on the story it sounds like they just wanted some manpower to dig with the hopes of finding the diamond. So that part could have just been left out. It feels like it's an attempt to explain why the main character was kidnapped but it doesn't really do the job.

2) Another won was the ending where the main character who throughout the entire story (up until that moment) seems to be under heavy surveillance, surrounded by guards with weapons all of a sudden gets a gun from somewhere (not specified in the story) and shoots the place up and flees with the wife. 

Chode story was perfect, it felt like. Executed well. Organic. The plan to extract the diamond appeared well thought out. That smart fighting part was a nice touch. 

Hope I aint trippin on this one. Good luck to both.

this was tough, especially when the topic is ass and basically creates the story for you, leaving little to no room for creativity. One's ending was a bit more flat than the others which wasn't all that outside of the box. I really see this going either way, One was easier to follow but the other added a bit more detail which painted the picture better. Got my winner. Well done to both with this theme.

Good read from both of you, like how each of you tackled the topic. Both hand interesting stories being told but there was one I was feeling a bit more. Solid drops, good luck to whoever advances.

First off I'ma start off by saying props to both for dropping and making it this far. That aside, I felt like ones piece was more like something I'd see in a movie whereas the other seemed more like a book. With that being said, the movie is what entertained me more although I did like to read as a child. But his piece drawn me in more. Both started off nice but winner's piece had a better conclusion as well

Good one here with 2 different angles. I'm gonna have to go with masks. I felt his story a little more and liked the style. Both wrote a good story though. Gb fairs in. 

I preferred the Chode's verse here, sick internal rhymes. Both were pretty dope though, weird topic

This one can go either way. Both had very similar approaches to the topic and the skill across the board was more or less equal. Going with the story I enjoyed a little more overall

This was dope Kudos to you both.

One feels more action packed and one feels more like a action/drama. I am pleased with both perfomances on this one congrats to both. Winner is purely on what I liked more but this one can go either way. 

My winner edged it out with the more compelling story and more fluid story telling.
