This was a nice idea and y'all executed it well. Chain's was the standout verse to me, was delivered perfectly and flowed real smooth, Calib's verse again had a nice flow but didn't have as much impact in the way it was worded/delivered, Stalin's verses had the worst flow of the bunch, just a little stretched in places, however it had more lyrical depth than the other two and if it'd have flowed aswell as them, would probably have outshined them both. Great read, stay up.

Chain>Cali>Stalin as far as flow and ability to rhyme like that and still make it seem vivid and real. It strikes me as Chain being the one actually in the middle class. As far as 7 numbers in a bank account; if the life the person's living is as you'd describe, it would have to be in the upper 8 figures. Nitpicking aside, I love the content and the concept.
This is the type of shit I would've loved to do, but I'm just not into writing much these days.

Yea this was really good, all 3 verses were impressive (especially the middle). If anything, I think the dude who had the 'lower class' verse had a lot more to work with and could have made a more powerful, emotional verse. But I'm probably being overcritical. Nice collab |

I agree completely with Jehu, I thought the concept was brilliant and you all brought good verses to the party.
Stalin, I liked some of your wordplay...the phone digits was the best, I think you were saying that each transaction was seven digits across many accounts - so I wouldn't nit pick on it like the hombre Jehu...I liked the verse but think you could have brought a more in depth/emotional spin to it, like you cast him as a callous guy and almost played off the stereotype of a wealthy guy...would have been better to read about some of the conflicts the rich have, although money isn't an issue, is there anything else? You know... Guess that's just a different approach I would have taken to it, like I said, but still a cool verse... Chain, you absolutely destroyed it...really captured the essence beautifully, not really much more I can say...rhyming and flow was quality and some of the lines were perfect, the IKEA one stood out for me, simply for the contrast...summed up everything really. Calibrizzle, very good verse in terms of lyricism...some of the lines were witty, loved that Jack Bauer wordplay part, that was sick...and you did try and get some of the strife that Chain did, but it didn't seem as authentic...that's more because of how good Chain's was than a sleight against yours, but it shows when you follow him...just unlucky! I really liked that "recession cements" line, that's your phrasing at it's best... Quality stuff, whoever thought of this idea is a don!
