RapBattles vs Blunts - Nique vs Wise
Pretty good battle, but I think the amount of lines hurt Wise. Nique seemed to fare quiet well, as she didn’t have all that many weak lines. Quite a few average ones, but some really dope ones. Consistent verse overall. I thought the paper punches bar was tight, it was really creative ‘n fresh. Return of the legends bar was really funny, hit hard ‘n worked well. Wise choice was a simple but perfectly worded bar as well, it hit nicely. So yea, consistent verse overall. Wise had some funny bars, but quite a bit of weak stuff. His closing section fucked him up the most, as it was all worded really corny, like he was stretching for lines. The winded in the drive thru bar was a tight concept, worded strangely, but it was still really funny. Nique was more consistent, ‘n she got it.
Picture Battle - Roger Glocks vs i <3 to scrypt
This battle was average. It wasn’t anything awful, just nothing really stood out to me. Some pretty funny lines, Glocks mask bar was funny ‘n scrypts stunted bar made me laugh. But outside of that I dunno, I didn’t really like much else a lot. Quite a close battle and it was decided by 1 vote, and that 1 vote went to scrypt.
Fat Man vs Mr Atkins - HotDogVendorMan vs Phryme
Decent battle. HotDog’s got his style down, which is pretty much a replica of Resin’s style haha. It’s still cool though. He had a Chuck Atkins bar that was dope ‘n hit hard, worded well also. Wire bar was decent ‘n hit nicely, but seemed sorta simple. Phryme dropped a bit better I thought, the no verse bar was good, tight bar. Catch more heat was funny as well. They went 30 ‘n it turned out ok, they were both quite consistent. But Phryme took this in a close one.
East vs West Battle - Out Writechas vs Mark Blaze
Mark Blaze won via no-show. Blaze had an ok verse, his b-more line was nice ‘n hit hard. He seemed a bit out of his depth though, as quite a few of the disses didn’t really work. Not a bad verse though.
Rising Stars Battle - Te Ora vs J Sutherland
Daayum, upset. Sutherland took this, which is something I never expected. He got promoted to the WBL because of it, so props to him for that. Te Ora came decent, but inconsistent. He had a board bar that was tight, ‘n an illesty bar that was creative ‘n hit nicely. Not a bad verse overall. Sutherland dropped decent. Nothing really stood out to me, but I can see why peeps thought he won. Sutherland took it by a large margin as well, winning 8-3.
Warm Up For The Champ - Urban Legend vs Random Myspacer
I thought Urban coulda done so much more with the pic. The dude looks like the joker out of batman for fuck sake. Yea, his verse was ok, but peeps voted no on him getting the win, and I’d have to agree.
