ok let's get it.
Bakardi: this was so much more than I expected. i had seen the audio om thread that seemed to be the last straw (was there other stuff?)
anyhow, going in i thought that perhaps you were being suicidal or delusional...but it's obvious that you have faith in your abilities and gave a good account of yourself here. i liked that you came with intensity and moved between dismissing him and into a bit of shaming from a moral high ground. i also thought it was poignant to come repping your crew considering it was a point of contention that gave rise to this battle.
there were some crazy conceptual sequences like the haphazardous/battleship/Nazareth/Lazarus bit...tho i was wondering about the lararus of rap ref...if it's you then you died and rose? or was it a saviour thing?
i thought that the stength of punches did vary...it seemed like the ones not attached to a personal or having a wicked concept fizzled a bit.. (damp panties)
i agree with ch3kk about your concluding bars...wasn't really a coup de grace...but it did serve to finalize the overall message.
flow wise there a few moments where there seemed to be the slightest of hiccup...but i never clocked a true fall off beat.
major kudos for challenging here.
Doom: really liked the feel of this. it was unrelenting in its mix of wordplay and scheme-laden punches that navigated each flow seamlessly.
i think you did a good job of anticipating his line of attack and went after Syndicate material/members. interesting that you both had a religious ref in there. ..guess that's the necessary posture, tho.
was kinda disappointed i didn't hear the raw track before it was replaced...find that shit interesting.
it's a special thing to make a track for a battle and have it listen-repeatable...
another great job.
enjoyed this battle. i gave the nod to doom...just too much in the arsenal. but this ain't a true loss for Bakardi in that he opens his account here with a solid performance against the top guy.
props to both
