Welcome to the semi-finals of the 2023 concept tourney. You both have 3 days to post, till the 1st of February @ 11:59pm Est. Best of luck gentlemen. 

Your concept is: The Rock Movies

Asgard n Vanaheim

He faced Phroxen last round. Rock was in the Hercules movie/ his helmet was the mouth of the lion. Head in the Mouth of the lion also means putting yourself into dangerous circumstances. 

Kevin hart and the Rock were in Jumanji

Exhibit/Xzibit was with The rock in gridiron gang. Rock played played Sean porter and coached criminals in jail. The CIF is the league that they played in but didn’t want to play against criminals.

The game plan is another movie.

Snitch

Stand Tall & Empire State: Both films , Empire State Building is taller than the others around it “stand tall”

Hobbs & Shaw: The Rock aka Dwayne Johnson “Rides with a Johnson”

The Rocks Character in Jungle Cruise is a ghost / dead man walking

Journey to the centre of the Earth: Eulogy/burial

This battle was close. I wasn't a fan of one's opener - seemed like a compliment to me.. but overall one's drop was pretty clean, most punches were implied n didn't need expo, though the filler I felt was way too much in some areas. The other flowed a lot better n brought a lot more references to the concept, but didn't really feel like they weren't executed enough at some parts... almost felt like it was just mentioned for the sake of it relating to the concept. This is actually tough. GL to whoever makes it through. Thanks for the read

My choice executed the concept better but I feel like he could've been a little more complex but still did enough to get my vote 

Both did pretty good one was hitting some bars but i think the other was a bit more creative and put out a more thoughtful verse that i edged here, so fair vote is in and GL to both guys here.

Kudos to both making it this far in the Tourney. Concept wise you both were solid but one had the upper hand in execution vs the other. Scheming vs punching develops that kind of trap sometimes vs a constant puncher those this gotta be back after back. Fairs ones up though. Good Luck to the person who progresses in the finals. 

Masked-Reaper: Overall enjoyed this verse, punches were definitely thrown heavy but you had some wording issues, read it back a few times and still stumbled through it, also felt like you lost steam towards the end, not that your finisher was bad but maybe could've been better as an opener maybe. Still impressive use of the concept, you were able to use more obscure ones while still maintaining punches. 8/10

Ruje: Overall really enjoyed your verse here, vocab & setups seemed effortless, Gridiron Gang line was too drawn out though. Opener was a nice homage and the punch landed afterwards but setup wasn't insulting enough if that makes sense.With that being said you had some good complex punches here and good use of the concept as well. 8/10

Overall: Really close battle here, clash of two different styles, both used the concept well but my winner was able to throw some heavier personal punches that put him over the edge. Dope reads y'all, good luck to whoever moves, could go either way, keep elevating!

Okay, both brought that shit an spit their own way in terms of the concept. I'm going to give my vote on who I thought came harder overall. with that being said:    Intro: Masked   middle: masked    outro: Ruje

So with that being said I'm going to give my vote for MR. Good luck to both!!

damn this one too some re reads , sick bars from both one came stacked with content and punch heavy the other had a certain finesse to his game that was very classy . this is close af for me . there can only be one but it was the better use of the personals that took it GB GL fellas hats off

One was more straight to the point here. Took a little while for the other to execute his setups. Still nice from both tho
