One punch & you’ll Acre bleed, then I’m bangin the shotty…
N’ the Louisiana Purchase the perfect place for hangin your body
Ya girl's reached her limit w/ you, the cold shoulder is locked
But when I have her reachin her Limb it’s to bend over for cock
The Morgue is quick to deliver, it takes 2 clicks w/the trigger
….To have you leavin Entrees like you didn’t finish your dinner
My Technique is dope, no one respects this tall, bitch poser..
When your approach Turnstile into a bunch of Bars we all skip over

Just realized @Fresh called me low tier. Ouch...

Ya lines’r alllll Played, so it’s Ironic Fresh said ya wack & ya tier is low
Cuz the shit Centenary verse reflects concepts from that many years ago
Nice win last week, but here you’ll get hit w/ loud fists or trapped in a vice
Congrats on Retiring Packed…now you can get ya shit & bounce quick on Saturday night
Geek! Collared shirt wearin faggot, this thot runs soft
Ya never seen w/ a tool, Button a fit of rage you may Pop One Off

[Letterman]

I almost won the Mega Millions, too....just needed 6 numbers.

I have eyes and can see straight as well as many other directions.

False...

Gal's gone downhill since Barcotic. His skill couldn't remain valid
Your career's been going in one direction so long, u could stand in Zayn Malik
U got historic bars for a old guy, but if ur young don't get weary, kid
Doesn't matter what dark age is, all his concepts date back to that period
He gets no pussy from his hoe. She's kept it tucked for a while
The way she hides the box could make her a suspect in the Hernandez Trial
Gal used to be good. Now you've been left so far behind, u should see dust
But i'd never berate you, cuz those below average bars make you more of a D+
U win with weak verses. Something u can't deny clown
So if your AIM is off, it's until the voting ring speculations die down
I pull bad bitches. Gal got the unwanted, bad built type hoes
Model chicks tell u bye, son.. so he's stuck with bitches shaped like those
Mega millions story made me hate you. Bullets wont spare ur life
So RB when you see a million air, Gal's about to be living in paradise

[Barcotic]

dark age was good
B rate was cool
bison was ok

vs

reachin her limb was nice
on trays was ok
centenary was borderline but ok
retiring packed was dope


as for the ones that didn't hit, dm had a couple really whack concepts n letter had a couple really played ones

Cool battle. Dark had a decent-ish verse. He had some cool punches but he also had quite a lot of misses. The button wordplay was real forced along with his opener for me. I did like the Entree punch though, I thought that was creative. Letterman I felt had a nice verse and humerus. The bye-son bar was funny and the Hernandez trial/hide box was pretty dope too. Overall, I think Letterman got this hands down for more consistency and overall better verse.

V/Letter

[Amen]

Louisiana purchase didn't do anything for me.
Limb it's was ok.
Entrees/on trays was good I thought. The simile "like you didn't finish your dinner" part was corny to me.
Turnstile same as above. Think it could have had a harsher execution.
Centenary? Struggled w/ that one. But how you worded it, seemed like you were going for a wordplay?
Retiring packed was a good concept, execution lacked tho. 2 personals that could have been haymakers.
So how your concept reads. He's never seen w/ a tool then the play on words button then the execution pop one off? I think you have wayyyyyyy to much shit going on there. As a reader (I know, just speaking hypothetically) I don't know whether you mean in the fit of a rage he may pop the tool or the button? See what I'm saying? Wording is key. However, I did like the bar.

Vs

I've seen a lot of one direction plays. A lot of them referenced one way streets, hell I remember using that concept back in 2010, lol. Your flip was different tho. Think you could have tried to have been little more harsher.
Lol @ both of you using "old concept/played concept" personals lol. Dark age, is a nameplay as well as a personal.
Box/pussy plays have been done to death. I think I got told that when I used one several weeks ago. Hernandez trial is a for the most part relevant event. Think you could have been a little harsher on the delivery tho, if you were going to go with that execution.
Berate was a cool jab.
AIM hasn't been relevant in a decade bro, and I don't even know if it still exists.
I've seen bison wordplays used in the same context as you did here. Typically bad bitches tell'em bye, son and he could only fuck bitches built like those/a buffalo. Soon as I read the 1st half or your bar, I knew how it was goin to end.
Didn't like million air at all.

I got Dark here. Less played material which for me gave him the edge because his punches landed more effectively.

[Smog]

Gal

Opener a lil forced To me but still credit a jab
Reaching her limb was iiiight
On trays was cool IMO
Turn style/turnstile that band.. Pretty cook
Felt centenary was forced too
Retiring packed was cool
I used a but in play a while back same reference but u tied it in well so overall ok closer



Vs....

Opener was cool with that dude lesbian the band right? Lol
Dark age was nice
Hides the box was ok, funny
B rate was doooope
I like the AIM is off too,
Bison was smooth
Closer was pretty good


Yup, well punning I just felt like gal had great ideas just not worded harsh enuff or a lil forced overall IMO a decent vs. against a pretty damn clean one.. Let was on point here n I feel he just out did gal from top to bottom.. I enjoyed the battle but got let takin this one...good job guys


Vote letterman

[Greedy]

Gal:
Dope opener.
another clever w/p on the cold shoulder joint.
Entrée was nice
Turnstiles was nice
Packed graves was eh.
Good closer

Vs

L/man:
Not feeling that opener
Dark age was good, predictable execution
Hernandez trial was dope
Berate/d+ was nice


Not bad battle here. Galactic Def went off tho. Letter u dropped good, but no match for galactics word play here

...didn't like this start
Ya girl's reached her limit w/ you, the cold shoulder is locked

ehh...

nice

okay... the wording didn't really pack a lot of sting
Ya lines’r alllll Played, so it’s Ironic Fresh said ya wack & ya tier is low
Cuz the shit Centenary verse reflects concepts from that many years ago
I like this... kinda weird reference though, haven't heard "centenary" too often
Nice win last week, but here you’ll get hit w/ loud fists or trapped in a vice
Congrats on Retiring Packed…now you can get ya shit & bounce quick on Saturday night
decent... not a great angle but executed pretty well

haha okay

Gal's gone downhill since Barcotic. His skill couldn't remain valid
Your career's been going in one direction so long, u could stand in Zayn Malik
so... that's a One Direction member? I didn't really feel this, but not terrible
U got historic bars for a old guy, but if ur young don't get weary, kid
Doesn't matter what dark age is, all his concepts date back to that period
decent... I'm not really a fan of this punchline 'formula' though
He gets no pussy from his hoe. She's kept it tucked for a while
The way she hides the box could make her a suspect in the Hernandez Trial
best line of your verse I thought
Gal used to be good. Now you've been left so far behind, u should see dust
But i'd never berate you, cuz those below average bars make you more of a D+
okay...
U win with weak verses. Something u can't deny clown

the personal's there but the concept's old as dirt... nah
I pull bad bitches. Gal got the unwanted, bad built type hoes
Model chicks tell u bye, son.. so he's stuck with bitches shaped like those
this what I mean by the 'formula'... didn't like this one
Mega millions story made me hate you. Bullets wont spare ur life
So RB when you see a million air, Gal's about to be living in paradise
ehhh... not a great close

I thought both were hit or miss, not bad verses but not the best I've seen from either side.
Gal had entrees as LOTB to me. Centenary, retiring packed, and button were cool.
Letter had Hernandez trial & dark age... a few that weren't bad but just not hittin to me.
Gal was more consistent and takes this I think

V/ Dark Matter

[ILLunatic]

4-2 in favor of Dark Matter
