Slip you went down the factual route with this bar,and did OK with
it overall,you also had some light humour to back up the punch too,
the personal was present but nothing to heavy I thought,the bar was
directed well enough on the whole,you did go at him which is a plus
here..

DJ like Slip you went down the comic route also,which is never a bad
thing,your punch was created out of nothing really,so I'll give you some
credit for that,plus the use of an acronym to cap the intended punch
off was good,the wordplay wasn't bad effort either..

Overall close really,but I do feel there's a winner but a small margin
and that was DJ,here's why,he had all the same things that Slip came in
with (humour,punch,tempo) but had a little something more in the mix,a
little creativity that for me worked in he's favour,Slip unlucky here friend..

Vote..DJ..peace.

Slip: You were direct and went at him personally. However the line was short (beef it up with some internals), the lack of puncuation made it sloppy to read, and I think the punch was a reach.

Flame: I thought you had a good bar, clever and well worded. It wouldve fell flat against a bigger opponent through lack of completely, but for this battle, it was perfect.

SLIP: Decent crew angle here, agree with KiKi about the punctuation, I kept wanting to read it as, 'do you mean "dowse flames" cos that'd be cool' ... but no, I think you actually mean that you are going to "doubt" his Alter Ego, and that will be damaging enough to make things "bound to happen" ... not getting that, sorry. The punch though, I'm taking this to mean a damaged CD skipping tracks / crews ... if this was what was meant then the crews/tracks leap was pretty reachy but the play was sick ... but if this wasn't what was meant then the sole play was C=See, so I'll give the benefit of the doubt on this one. Final points though, crew jumping angles are well played out, and happen/random slant rhymes stands out in such a small bar ... but if the couple of syllables before it were included to make it a multi, it would read so much better.

DJ: Liking the structure of this bar. What I remember from you was an underlying talent but a tendency to overthink and therefore over complicate ... but this was tight and to the point, and worked well as a bar ... but I do have a couple of points.
The personal angle seems to be that Slip is a heavy-set fellow ... well I've seen enough of his YouTube vids to know that that is an entirely fabricated personal, and though that isn't a crime, it's important to point it out, as real personals carry more weight (no big pun intended). Point 2, I really like the nip slip flip, and I am also a big fan of nip slips themselves and the whole wardrobe malfunction / accidental nudity genre ... just struggling to see what that has to do with body size / BMI?

Closer than I first thought, but ... MFVGTDJ

Slip: Some good ideas in there man but overall the execution could've been better. I like the CD punch but it only works on one side of the entendre 'you'll CD skipping' (while I get it - isn't grammatically correct) and double entendres hit much much harder if both views of it are tight and grammatically correct. Still a good bar though.

Flame: I was feeling it. It was a clear and well constructed bar about his weight. I read above that he isn't a big guy which kinda renders the angle pointless, but I still enjoyed reading it.

Close call, I think Flame came with a harder attack for one, and better technique. The material could've been more personal but the quality overall was better and that's why he gets my vote.

Vote - Flame

Ok. most have been said here..

Slip, cool concept but flip was to basic, try add some creative angles to the punch, rhymes could have been tighter also

Flame, pretty clean personal, nutting too heavy but got it done.

okay interesting.

Slip: i felt as though this angle had been used recently and ultimately didn't punch with much force.

Dj: i thought this was pretty funny. i have no idea what slip looks like, but that nip slip play was hilarious.

+1 dj

This was a cool battle, nice concepts by both. Slip I think benter wording would've made the punch hard. Nameplay was nice.good punch.
