Votin' for verse 2, both good showings, shame the other two couldn't show up for it, even if they had they woulda struggled, but yea just felt the drive behind Jehu's more, you both know I could write a vote long enough and explained enough to be its own holy book but put plain and simple Jehu's story was more expressively told and better presented lyrically

VOTE: Verse One

. . . Now who said they fuckin' with me?
They just said that FUCKIN' with me
They didn't mean it
Nah . . .

Dont you get killed when u try and leave a gang  and you would have many many tattoos showin your alleigance to the gang anyway...BUT for the purposes of fantasy

Did Stalin write the second verse

Quite a tough one to call...Usually these topicals are decided by who stays on topic more but the topic itself was EXTREMELY vague, where with the other one you knew it was a bank robbery and you had to describe your actions within that this one is "your a snake that has to infiltrate a rival gang" ...do u tell the story or do u have a guy doin it? DIFFICULT call

I gotta say Verse One confused me, it didnt really say anything about the penetration of the gang it was more outward in its perspective, had some quirky lines, like the Im a blood and a crip, that was cool but the character didnt seem very involved, yeah you came with those clever lines to show that but it was more tickin the box than anythin to me...ticked it well but still

*Returns from the bannin of Kaos and 6man battle shits*

I duno, in short its a hard one because verse 2 got more to the point and verse 1 was more intricate and difficult to understand what the fuck you were chattin at times...id say both were equally on and off topic in slightly different ways...i liked verse ones attention to little details of the gang culture, like the rituals and ethos of violence...kind of trainin-day in that feel, clever and violent but the story wasnt that clear, like you left the story to talk about details (the way i saw it at least) and i didnt like the way you did that...I liked the way Verse 2 was presented, quirky little idea and basically ran with the snake thing from Metal Gear, nice plays and the lyricism was good (obviously belittled in comparison but it was still competant)...Hmmmmmmmm, tough one, tough one...verse two seems simple at first but I like the way you described the little touches of HOW you betrayed the rival gang...so you both had those intricacies, jus in different aspects, i duno, the one thing I would say is that Verse Two isnt really infiltratin a gang is it, its more militarily-based, like Metal Gear, I was gona vote verse two after I read this 2/3 times but to be fair I think verse 1 was more relevant to the topic, it was more gang-orientated....both were good verses but I gotta go with something that stays more on topic in my eyes, and tho I slightly prefered verse 2 in the WAY he told the story, i think his story wasnt as close to the topic as it needed to be in comparison to the GANG-war kind of thing verse 1 had goin on...

Tough one to call, but thats always the way it is when you have 2 people who KNOW how to write a verse ya know,

Vote = Verse 1
