Trizzy and FO

Thank you for swiftly getting on the votes Goose. 

DTK - Dope verse all around. Consistent punches thrown, all connected. I enjoyed every bar, I have no critique at all for you verse. Flow was on point also. Dope shit DTK. 

Close battle...

DTK - I think sometimes you seem a little formulaic, you've got better at minimising it but still shows sometimes...e.g. Spot if he tried / drop in demise...but anyways, I thought your punches were mixed, opener was dope, second was a good punch but slightly corny in the execution, third line I thought was a bit of a dud concept...still landed but more a big jab than a solid blow...closer was ehhhhhh, I actually liked the setup bar but wordplay was ergh.

Kiki - honestly I thought you let the side down a bit here which surprises me...for a short verse I felt there was way too much dubious stuff in there, opener was weak for me, jab rather than a punch, next filler line was dope rhythm and rhyming but I didn't like the punch & the way I pronounce that name (and the way I've always heard it pronounced) makes that rhyme disjointed. It's kind of a vague diss in my eyes & it's not like you're dropping with Manc...next punch is ok but I think you've kind of forced the wording "biggest PB" (biggest personal best then equals a big piece?)...nah, and the closer is ok, felt like you were trying to pre empt a shot though as really it was a thread that was deleted not an account, so the play doesn't stand up....

So yeah, overall I thought Keeks did ok without landing anything really solid & DTK brought a couple of hot shots with a couple of weaker ones...

Trizzy - I like your aggressive style when it comes to battling, I liked the wordplay and I thought that was a good multi layered diss...really good start. Only thing that didn't make it an absolute wow punch was the "tuition for death" isn't that killer of a concept without the breakdown play, you really need it to have a solid meaning both ways for it to be WOW, that said, it stood up so you got a lot of credit points...cool diss in the filler, I thought the diss wasn't that strong on the punch though...call that a big jab / light punch...again, good aggressiveness in the filler line (crew sigs is a bit ehhh but you survive it because it isn't the main punch) & I liked the punch...thought it was solid, did a good job of turning a generic punch into something relevant to the battle with the filler line, nice, closer I liked...filler got off a good diss to one opponent and the main punch went at other one, which is always good approach...again, I liked this punch but like before its not WOW because the concept isn't up there...but what you did do well was convert that into good punches, basically maximising what you brought....In other words, I thought you were better than Kiki and competitive with DTK, he had the better punches but you had more consistent punches thrown

FO - so really it rested on you at this point....honestly, that opener was hard...only thing I didn't like was the "alcoholic girls" setup because it was a bit contrite, but the wordplay was bossing & loved that you followed it up with two personalised shots against them...that was dope. Probably the dopest set of the battle...next punch was funny, I liked how you followed on from the first punch and are addressing them both...another solid hit if simplistic...next one is a pretty solid punch again, assuming its true, pretty much a 'state the facts' punch, it was nice...I like how you're taking the piss rather than being overly lyrical (I.e. name plays and shit)...closer, I think you could've made this a lot doper if I'm honest...the diss itself was dope & it actually played out in the context of the battle really well for you, but the filler line was too busy, too much going on in there & it ended up being a very basic rhyme...you would've been better just going for a solid multi and letting the closer land full force...again, a bit like Trizzy, you get away with it more because its in the filler line but you did sacrifice a bit of force in the punch that you could've otherwise landed...

That said, I think FO basically won this battle with his verse...he had the hottest punches of the battle and had the consistency in his verse as well. Trizzy was solid, aggressive if unspectacular. I thought DTK brought some heat but also fizzled and Kiki didn't have enough tenacity...

FO had the best verse, Triz/DTK about the same...DTK maybe a little more due to his opener & then Keeks a fair bit behind Trizzy...

So for me I thought FO & Trizzy took this one...

DTK and *Kiki*

This battles a canoe ride till you die, got you both on death row!
I'm Will Smith in Independence Day the way I'm ending U-Fo

Solid opener

It's like the Law got rid of his partner cuz I'm dropping this guy!
Triz's initials are T n T yet couldn't blow the spot if he tried!

Dope personal flow was on point

He'll drop in demise, his leader tried and left shaking his head..
Fucks so forced with his rhymes you'd think he tried raping the thread!
A lil stretched but good execution liked the angle

And the closest that Triz came to a title was setting the thread for me!
It's like a noob wrote your lines..there's no showings of "Eff-or-T" (Effort)
sick closer n possibly the hardest hit off the battle
9/10

*FO- *Sigh* - His mother's coke crimes drift in his mind,
So fittin' he finds peace inside by pickin' Tre's deficient of lines, 
great personal to start off
I say it's time I maneuver a stab at this rappin' manure, 
Laughin' some more- Leader left for Cuba like Assata Shakur,
worded good work well good punch
 We batter you bores, bitch please, it's too easy to kick these, 
Cos simply, Tre's biggest PB is letting Point lead his big piece,
Ur best personal outta the verse loved the flow

 Kid leave's without reason, watch me bounce them heads,
 We account for their deletion like our announcement threads.. 
another strong closer 8/10
All together i thought u both played off eachother great each verse was polished n put together well
17/20
