Welcome to the semi-finals of the GC. You both have until 11:59pm Est on the 8th to get your bars in. Best of luck to whoever goes through.

Ex: He bought accts 4 friends to vote 4 him & got banned. Copernicus said planets revolve around the sun. Row/Wade: about what babies do (live or die). Urkel had a cool version of himself that came outta a box. Cerberus: 3 headed hellhound. Berkowitz(Son of Sam): said a dog made him murder. LoD shit.

This was the battle of the tourney... Both brought good bars to this battle. Honestly, not a lot to critique here, both dropped some of the best marterial we've seen for a min here. Fairs in, gents. Best of luck to whoever goes through. 10's for both. 

Good showing by both. Will break down bar for bar later & drop a vote 

Before I do vote tho, Row drop any expo for ya verse if u intend to. 

My choice was stronger with their execution and I felt their setups were better as well. Both had some pretty good concepts. My loser here touched on the personals a little heavier here but it still wasn't enough. My loser also had better flow as well. Overall my choices bars were hitting different for me.

Dope read. Both had great punches and personals in attacking each ones character. I felt one had a bit more sting on there punches. Both did great. Could go either way but I got my winner after a few reads. Close call..

Jesus Christ, dope verses across the board, I've got to really dissect both sides before I make a decision, too dope y'all props

Row you had a little bit hard to read verse. Maybe it was the style/approach? Maybe I need to hear it

I thought that took away from the punches, which were still nice.

Xen you had a nice reading verse, that helped your punches have solid impact. 

Dope battle for sure, both of you gents did your thing....very entertaining, fire reads. The both brought pretty solid content as well as unique subject matter to the table..had to research some bars to get the full scope of what was being presented, which is also good. I enjoyed the personal angles that the both of you had taken in some areas, which was the highlights for me.

Row:

I thought your offering was pretty well crafted, it flowed well and was structured nicely..very heavy punches and the wordplay was good framing. I enjoyed the syllable count jabs/references..mostly mimicking his style of writing, thought it fused well into the entirety of your piece and was very humorous, bananas!

Notable bars for me:

•Tryna be SEEN w/ LEGENDS, RIGHT? u couldnt “Hold A Candle To The Text” as a SLEEPLESS MENNONITE tryna READ IN BED AT NIGHT!

•"He be like:"ima damn killer who blast triggers at mans bigger than van vicker from last winter" - its MAD FILLER "he Struggles w/ Substance n Ends Up w/ a Flat Line" - MAC MILLER!"

•a shiv-wit-this-square? "Ridiculous-Pair”; him give us SLASHES IS FICTION he LACKIN THE GRIT N “He Needs That Key To Succeed” if “P’ll HAVE US IN STITCHES!”(Peele)

•sought ta profit off ya lines? thinkin youd EARN PAY SURE IS LAUGHABLE it kinda-goes-to-say why ur rhymes-are-lowercase, coz ur “WORDS AINT WORTH DA CAPITAL!”

Phro:

I thought the connections that you were making in your opener flowed together almost seamlessly, painting a very clear picture with the personals..which was dope, the multis in this piece was done well, and the punches were pretty strong in areas. Copernicus line was nuts! (pause)

Notable bars for me:

•Row who? cant say i knew or hearda him.. wait, aintcha scoop a herd of friends u gave exclusive purchases ta make it thru a tournament & break the rules ta earn a win?

•b4 u i aint think we had a "Pay-Per-View" - the first was his! "revolver 'round Sun" - Copernicus. getcha "circle lit". fkn "Certified Clown" gotcha Major thru the circus biz.

•ALL I CAME TO DO IS MURDER KIDS! TAKE YA JEWELS N CURL A FIST & KNOCK YA FKN LIGHTS OUT LIKE A BREAKER BLEW & CIRCUITS TRIPPED

•GUN YA FAM, SON OF SAM: THE OTHER NAME I USE TO "SERVE A BITCH" COZ I "KILL 4 MY DOGS!" INTRODUCIN TO THE STAGE: TO YOU ITS BERKOWITZ!

Overall, this battle was extremely diffcult to judge..thought the both of you brought a very strong degree of intricacies to this bout..and was worth the multiple reads, before coming to a conclusion. One edged it for me here.

Dope Battle & GL to both!

Tough battle to call here both had some nice lines multis jabs punches the whole gambit.. so I went with the smoother flow and the one who got to it immediately to edge this one MAY THE BEST BARS PREVAIL!
