Congrats to both on making it to the semi-finals, gentlemen. Best of luck to both. You both have till 11:59pm on the 9th to get your bar in.

Best one bar battle I've read in quite some time. Both had smooth flowing bars, connections and nice concepts. My winner punchline was fresher to me, so thays why my vote goes to Lock. Purps bar was good too, just wasn't feeling the end punch as much. Best of luck both. Fairs in gents. 

Let's go! Hyped to see this go down, bring the mahfucking flames y'all 

Just went with the best bar overall without bias, with that being said MAY YHE BEST BAR PREVAIL!

Both bought nice wordplay concepts, multis & set ups. Felt one was a bit harder hitting in this.   

fair vote in 

Purp's bar didn't seal the deal as nicely as his opponent's bar. I really enjoyed the concept in the setup he used here though. Overall really nicely constructed bar with awesome multi's and the punch landed very nicely. 

Lockhart though came in with a cleaner hitting bar. The punchline was much more direct and cleverly written with a nice metaphorical approach, and his personal take on wordplay by flipping his opponent's name in the end there as well was very hard-hitting IMO. Good battle but I got my winner here.

Liked some things from both one had the flow and the others creativity was better here very close bout to smoke n drop my vote shortly 

Both went hard and kept jabbing and endin in nice name flips, i felt one was smoother but had better wording, the other was a bit more aggressive but moved too fast. So i got my winner..gl to both mcs.

Fair vote is in 

This was dope on both parts I think Purp had the edge but the criminal mind line was fire asf. I think purps rhyming style on this bar was more intriguing and landed with a punch that was funny.

My pronouns are Turnbull/AC's!!

Felt one came with solid personals and ended with the heavy punch than the other execution wasn't smooth enough to me. 

Thought both lacked in their usual creativity here so it boils down to execution for me

Purps: Dope flow w/ impressive multi's & personal angle here but Hart/Heart wordplay is beyond played at this point, punch still landed though, just wasn't as effective as it could've been.

Lockhart: Good punches here, personals were suspect, not sure if they're true or not but regardless the wordplay & setups really shined through here, both parts connected nicely here, props.

Overall: Both really brought their A game here, put as much as you could into 220 characters but my winner took this with a more creative approach, props to both, y'all did great here

Purps' execution was great but wasn't enough to outdo Lock's much stronger concept. Fair's in.
