Welcome to the 2023 Text Scheme Championships

Verses are due Tuesday, November 21 by 11:59PM EASTERN STANDARD TIME

Your 2-syllable Scheme is: "TIME BOMB"

Good luck, have fun, and Thanks for Playing ;)

Very well matched round here . Both were fairly equal in most categories. What seperated them for me was that one wasnt very effective in the early part of the fight but finished stronger so it was a hard decision. Could go either way. This ones a hairline edge

i felt my winner had the overall smoother scheme read throught the verse. the other had a spot of 2 where it seemed forced and made it a little bit of a rough read....was close here 

yo, this was one of the toughest draws on the 2-syllable schemes. you both did really well. overall, the winner edged the challenger out with better flexes with a limited scheme from jump. myspace bar cracked me up from RS.  (do people know what that is anymore?) the daikon radish shit was clever af. few slants (although i think it's a skill to be used) from either. much respect, my vote is in.

Smh...

( Time Bomb )

Scheme: “TIME BOMB”

Tough scheme text wise...gb

Dope battle overall. Both brought it, felt one was a level above the other. Loser didn't know what yo do with the scheme in places. dive bomb was BOTB. fair is in.

time bomb = hot potato, loose cannon. (Loose canon = humpty Dumpty)

Daikon radish, potato, chive.

You too used some of the same multis. I had to give it to the one who was more original. No hate. Only room to grow!

*two

This was pretty even through the 1st 8, then one started to seperate with a better flow and closing.

This tourney tight af , the first verse is straight forward as can be , slipped a few times but overall a cool verse , the second verse , - it was a lil bit more complex , im talking punches , but slipped a lot more than the first dude , I feel like the first dude followed the scheme better. 

hard vote because i felt both had ups and downs, one was heavier and more aggressive while the other had better flips imo but after deliberation i slightly edged it to the one i felt hit a bit more but this could go either way so fairs in and gl to both.

Tough reads for both i think... one read more like a mixtape verse and i struggled to find relevance or hard hitting punches... some of the scheming from the loser on this one also relied way too much on the first syllable changing and kept the second the same.. lots of repetitive uses of "x-on" or john/Juan or whatever it ended up being. I felt like that shot him in the foot compared to his opponents verse.

The winners verse wasn't too impressive either, as i felt like a lot of the disses were rather generic. He sticks the scheme just a hair better than his opponent, and even with the barrage of surface level disses, he edges this one by the slimmest of margins for the aforementioned reasons.

Forgot to add vote

got rhymesmoke taking this with a verse that connected a lil harder

Winner had better punches and flowed better. Fairs in. 

not an easy scheme but both did their thing. this was surprisingly closer than i. thought imo. not a fan of repeated words in a rhyme scheme, one did it more than the other. that made my decision. GL to both
