Kiki I liked the factual content of your bar here,plus added with
the flow/tempo you layed down just made the punch more weightier
on the whole,the humour of your bar was the highlight for me too,
brought a smile to my face to be honest,so that poured even more
weight beefing this bar up again,the personal was directed well
also, good bar..

RKB sorry but I wasn't feeling your offering here,plus I found it
didn't rhyme to well also,whether that's down to accents is anyones
guess,cooking keema was this a substitute for the word beef?,as it
didn't in my opinion get at him with much gusto,the punch felt kind
of bland really,no direct personal to type of either,not the best
bar of yours I've read..

Overall I thought RKB seemed off he's usual game here,whilst KiKi
came with a bar that worked,although not the hardest hitting bar
from him also,he did do more than enough to take this round today,


Vote..KiKi..peace.

CiCi: nice angle to use in the setup (and all the more so since Beans no-showed yet again this week), setup starts well, but the word choice at the end seems forced for the multi. The punch was decent, flows on well, and though the concept here seems unrelated to the setup, the play was good and it landed OK.

Our KB: As ever the basic bar structure is OK, the multis run through making it flow well and I can see how the rhyming may be considered too slant, but worked OK for me. A couple of things though; capitalising 'Knows' because that's one of the words in your name doesn't make it wordplay; I get the wordplay in the punch, but it seems it's just hung on a random reference that has the syllable 'Ki' without any other relevance.

Sorry Rutz usually dig what you do, in fact both usually come better than this, but for me this week ... MFVGT CiCi

Kiki: Overall a good bar. I thought the content was original (a bit of a stretch with the hood part cause Manny wouldn't have a hood on when in the ring) but the personal tie in was what made it a good and solid hit.

Rutter: I see where you were going but this is possibly the worst bar I've seen from you in the league so far. The keema reference is obscure and the wording is really shaky. It was an original angle but a big risk trying to tie that in and I just feel it didn't pay off this time.

Vote - Kiki

Kiki, smooth setup, manny hood play was pretty funny, consistent rhymes, etc -  Good bar.

RUt, the keema play wasnt very tasteful(pun!), the punch felt kinda forced here, rutter knows he can do better than this (pun again!)

Uhm yeah, vote KiKKi

Kurry Spices
Kiki, Really liked the concept here, it was some good vision to see out the box
Not crazy about the wording and would have loved to see the opening line used as more of a set up for the punch, but this was still pretty nice

Rotten Nan Bread's
Rutts, This wasn't a bad attempt, again it's a cool out of the box concept, just feel the punch was pulled short and failed to connect

Decent battle, but for me Kiki had the better impact overall
Vote Kik

Both good efforts (as to be expected!!)...Keeks, I liked the diss in the opener, strong effort, but I think you kind of overextended as you had two long ass lines...I like the flow to be a bit more fluid but I think you just about got away with it. The punch was good and a cool diss against him. Rutts, I felt you had a crisper, sharper flow with a punchier rhyme scheme. As for the punch, I really echo what everyone else said...I can see what you were going for, but (I think I've said this to you in the past as well) when you do a breakdown wordplay it needs to at least read smoothly as a 'sentence' (or connected phrase, if you like) with the rest of the line...and yours doesn't really work. Lost a bit of the impact for me...I think really it was just a bit risky to go for it. 

So yeah, despite Kiki having a stretched line I think his punch ultimately had enough of a gap to give him the edge this time around. Vote = Kiki

ok let's have a look.
2 high rated cats at it.

Kiki: i felt that the scheme at times made for an awkward read, but the concept shone through will enough. i thought the punch was a bit weak relative the worry in constructing this punch. decent tho.

RKB: i saw where you were going with this, but didn't feel as though it resulted in much of a shot. the reference caused a loss of momentum and by the time i parsed out the meaning from the expo, the impact was deadened.

+1 Kiki
