The last 10 I remember dropping was on a Phroxen verse if that tells you anything. I think it was his battle with reEFer. Other than that I don't remember dropping a 10. I dropped a 9 on DaDDiO's verse against Vandahl (couple lines where he was a touch softer than usual, but not a big dropoff at all).
I do, however, remember dropping 9's on battles that clearly, looking back, didn't deserve the 9 from me. Dissizit vs ILLo being one of those instances. The creativity was definitely there, but the execution was lacking on both sides (rhyming, wording, bit of filler, mainly the simpler stuff that should have been ironed out before the verses were entered in).
I agree with Enf, though. I feel that DaDDiO, Real Talk, Phroxen, and UA were always the best in terms of being ableto convey their concept in a simple, yet extremely dope way while maintaining a good level of creativity. Those are who I consider to be the top GREATS on this site.
Just my $0.02, though.
