The 2020 Tournament

Grand Final: Text (standard rules)

Concrete vs spume corrupt

Verses are to be 8 bars or 16 lines in length.

Battlers have 14 days from now to write their bars.

If there are no decisive votes on the battle after 7 days once the verse is posted, then I will vote in an unbiased manner and decide on the winner to continue to the next round.

If a battler ducks, due to timeframes being accurately adhered to, if it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, I'll be calling it a duck.

If you don't both check in then your battle will be discontinued and parties that check-in will progress to successive rounds but parties that fail to check-in will be disqualified.

Battlers must check-in to the battle in order to proceed.

GRAND FINAL. LET'S GO!!!

kill this punkass bum trash quicker than a gunblast
catch another body and zip up spume.. scumbag
laugh at his herb attacking cos it's nerdy acting
dude got more soft side than this tourney bracket
your crew? salute for making LI looking that boring
former spine of LA.. now with a generic backstory
countless dismissals, all former appeal dwindles
they call me con, tho your crew seem to be in cells
least you crushed ashleys verse in a clash of words 
spume all proud now, finally he got to smash a girl
like a-bomb I removed Cuba from the map, busting flames
while he gained muscle strains tearing apart a rusty chain
with dead flows your style more old fashioned than retro
you not that Kurupt, I still put your record on death row
stating MURDER after your verse, all pretense of thriller 
flexing as a crime novelist, kinda hard to make out a killer 
better fix the choppy rhymes, nobody wanna plagiarise those 
spume is up shit creed without a paddle, unable to stabilize flows
thinking he's gonna win here - he be literally dead wrong
always beneath a concrete text, engraved on his headstone

The only way Con’s dropping ice cold is cos his habitat is freezing
Knocked out with a bigger red nose than your average Norwegian
Bleeding, I’m going full savage demon and body bagging his lines
If you wanna see Viking next season you gone need amazon prime
I won’t even leave him breathing punching this weak violent
Crete under the control of a corrupt mainland like the Greek island
U like the rest of your crew in the finals looking boring and classless
Only Scandinavian surrounded by more lights than the aurora borealis
Taken to task bitch put quick in a casket you hopeless dead clown
Syn ain’t been taken serious since the brother Moses stepped down
He’s getting wrecked now I’ll fucking rock him and drop him in a coma
Nordic’s sickness wouldn’t be on the money with a pocket full of K-rona
This weakling defeated broken down completely until he’s purely rubble
Making a connection will bury concrete underground like the Euro tunnel
No baller, you’re a neek you’d get fucking bounced in my hood square
When I say Con verse getting stepped on I ain’t talking bout footwear
You ever swinging with a knockout hit is way beyond your limits cunt
If got beat the fuck up in Finland you still wouldn’t know a Finnish punch
Why the fuck you want more lines when ya rhymes are weak and harmless
Brittle framework got you looking like little Wayne, you really need a pardon

I forgive ya

Concrete.


kill this punkass bum trash quicker than a gunblast
catch another body and zip up spume.. scumbag

(Well I'll state now the name play here was nice, and the way you tied it all in was nice
also, nothing to hard but a nice steady opening shot to get things crackin')

laugh at his herb attacking cos it's nerdy acting
dude got more soft side than this tourney bracket

(I liked the set up here via the flow and multi word rhyming, be t the actual punch was
light I thought, kind of came off as a reach/stretch, but it does hold merit still, just read
forced for me,)

your crew? salute for making LI looking that boring
former spine of LA.. now with a generic backstory

(Now this was a cool shot via the wordplay, but it did lack venom though, a strong filler
is how I'm precieving this on reading)

countless dismissals, all former appeal dwindles
they call me con, tho your crew seem to be in cells

(So the punch was more pronounced here, but ithe actual wordplay was for me where
the meat resides, from the set up with the appeal aspect, then going on with the prison
theme heightened by the prefix of your alias just tied it all up nicely, good shot)

least you crushed ashleys verse in a clash of words
spume all proud now, finally he got to smash a girl

(lol..yeah this worked too, the punch wasn't that hard but I did find it witty, loose but witty,
and that's what a punch is supposed to be, so another cool bar)

like a-bomb I removed Cuba from the map, busting flames
while he gained muscle strains tearing apart a rusty chain

(So I like the implacations here via the routes taken/given to both to get to this stage, but
you can only beat who you've been drawn against, this bar I feel didn't do much in the way
of damage, seemed stament-ish really)

with dead flows your style more old fashioned than retro
you not that Kurupt, I still put your record on death row

(To be honest I found this bar to be clever, not only are you tieing Kurupt the artist to his
alias, but the whole bar contained solid comparisons that I liked to do with Kurupt, but the
clever part lies with how you twisted it all to fit Spume, have you been watching C.S.I. or
something, a lot of law references within this verse, solid bar)

stating MURDER after your verse, all pretense of thriller
flexing as a crime novelist, kinda hard to make out a killer

(So although I liked this bar for the content, it didn't really do much to damage him really, I
get the jist of it, but it read like it was lacking something in the way of grit)

better fix the choppy rhymes, nobody wanna plagiarise those
spume is up shit creed without a paddle, unable to stabilize flows

(Again like your 3rd bar this too came off as a decent filler, nothing to heavy or exciting to
cause him problems I feel)

thinking he's gonna win here - he be literally dead wrong
always beneath a concrete text, engraved on his headstone

(Nice bar, could of heightened this further if worded better, but it did the job still, nice play
also, cool closing bar)



Spume


The only way Con’s dropping ice cold is cos his habitat is freezing
Knocked out with a bigger red nose than your average Norwegian

(Ok so I get the weather element behind the initial punch, and his location of residence,
but it was light when landing overall, it lacked some oomph I thought)

Bleeding, I’m going full savage demon and body bagging his lines
If you wanna see Viking next season you gone need amazon prime

(Now this was better, it read cohesive too, not a haymaker but it did have some sting
about it)

I won’t even leave him breathing punching this weak violent
Crete under the control of a corrupt mainland like the Greek island

(Yeah we seem to be gathering pace now, and truthfully it was creative too, I also
Liked the choice of bedfellow words used to make it rhyme, sort of half rhymes in
a way with the violent/island, but it worked)

U like the rest of your crew in the finals looking boring and classless
Only Scandinavian surrounded by more lights than the aurora borealis

(Again with the half rhymes usage, this was a bit of a subliminal kind of bar here,
I liked the way you attacked him and his crew with the Arora Borealis being from
the northern hemisphere, and calling his crew light and being around them,, yeah
cool bar)

Taken to task bitch put quick in a casket you hopeless dead clown
Syn ain’t been taken serious since the brother Moses stepped down

(Hmm, although this was a jab rather than a punch, and it does have merit, it still for
me read statement-ish, kind of a filler bar to keep the momentum going slant is what
I got from this bar)

He’s getting wrecked now I’ll fucking rock him and drop him in a coma
Nordic’s sickness wouldn’t be on the money with a pocket full of K-rona

(I dont really know why, but this bar made me smirk on reading, the currency/Covid line
was sleek,had that clowning vibe popping off, still I liked it cool bar)

This weakling defeated broken down completely until he’s purely rubble
Making a connection will bury concrete underground like the Euro tunnel

(Clever bar, connection/tunnel,broken down/rubble, this was a nice shot I thought,
direct with no fuss added)

No baller, you’re a neek you’d get fucking bounced in my hood square
When I say Con verse getting stepped on I ain’t talking bout footwear

(Nice use of the prefix to his alias here, I don't think I've seen that play with the foot
wear scenario so it seemed fresh, plus I liked the wordplay involved too)

You ever swinging with a knockout hit is way beyond your limits cunt
If got beat the fuck up in Finland you still wouldn’t know a Finnish punch

(lol...cool bar that had the smirk factor within, it also read aggressive.too, I even liked
the wordplay, all came together quite nicely)

Why the fuck you want more lines when ya rhymes are weak and harmless
Brittle framework got you looking like little Wayne, you really need a pardon


I forgive ya

(Yeah I liked this one too, it was current and direct in nature, it had this I'm above you
and know your place vibe cracking off)



So now comes the real difficult part, where I have to choose a winner, when this battle was
like even Steven's for me, and I don't even know a Steven..lol, this is a hard one to call as it
was that close, both had highs and lulls aswell as the odd filler, (this is a draw in my book,
which I'll state now isn't all that well read), so if I piss anyone off here then I apologize now,
as I try to be as honest as I can, after reading both verses a few times each, I can only sep-
state you both by one thing, which I found lame but worthy to draw a conclusion, and that
was witt, and Spume did have the better witt

Vote..Spume by the luck of the gods...peace guys..

Yeah aiit overall after contemplating this one for a while and considering the battle scene has quitened of late we better close this one up cos it's been time

Concrete that block style and going first set you at a disadvantage here, somewhat similarly to my battle versus Ash except of course this stuff right here is all high quality material and a real showcase of skill from the both of you absolutely. Absolute master class of multis and scheme from you here and my favourite bar was probably the generic backstory one. Your verse felt like it could cause blunt force trauma and that chain and Cuba wordplay was on point. Strong verse first up with some good directness and faultless flow, I felt it could have had more aggression from you to tie it together harder stylistically. Still structurally it was clean cut too and altogether a mint drop.

spume aesthetically off the top your verse is more diverse in vernacular and with more of a long-bar style, you were able to utilize the opportunity in this take to more effect. More inner multis and dope multis, stylistically and structurally yours was on par with Con but in regards to the bars yours were more aggressive, harder hitting and complex, with more quotables ie. the finnish, norwegian, moses, lil wayne, greek island, amazon prime bars etc. imo some of these bars were more effective than whole parts of Cons verse considering the depth of the concepts steeped in the setups and punches so

MVGT spume

Chur good battle guys, I'll close it up and get to getting some payment details from spume and Crim. Thanks so much for taking part in the tournament and for flexing so hard with the bars to everyone that took part, looks like it's still possible to run a tourney in 2021 but I've still got a lot to learn about the same!
