Text Battle Archive: Title Battle: mcwoods Vs. Junior

What title is this exactly for?

Ya'll Forgotten.... Not Me..

Junior - Blatant sway at the start of your verse...you shouldn't include anything that doesn't relate to your punch, so that shit about Woods copying your style...put it in the verse as a punchline or don't write it...you are stretching if you are saying "Junior got Woods gripped" is anything but a nameplay...Plus the implication he didn't really want to battle Game, that was another sway...though at least that one you used as a punchline...and the "mega long lines" I thought was a sway as well...

Anyways, for the verse itself...Pretty good actually, you came with a nameplay approach with personal punches and wordplay flips in there...thought you landed your punches with varying efficiency, ones that I didn't like as much:

1. "chasing Kon...like Kiss chase with captives", that was pretty weak...was just a simple play from Ikon's name...decent diss I guess, but punchline was weak...
2. "Drag on"...was a simple concept, didn't bring anything to it...wasn't really relevant
3. Plan it like Saturn...too simple, and generic...

One's you could have done better on:

1. Feeling Weezy...thats a great idea for a play, but your set up didn't really have anything to do with making him Weezy...was a good idea but you didn't capitalise on it
2. Woods Work's Class...good idea for a nameplay but again you didn't use it as good as you could have done, I read it and thought "nice idea", rather than "sick punch"...probably because the punchline was too vague
3. Leaves a Mark in this Battle...I thought this had potential, but the rhythm kind of through the punch off a little bit...I thought this ended up a good punch when it could have been a very good punch

One's I liked:
1. Trip to Europe...only thing it missed was a better rhyme, since your filler was unrelated to the punch you could have said anything...but the punchline had a solid nameplay/personal combination and it worked really well, good punchline
2. Junior's got Woods gripped...even though you were reaching in your expo and tried to make it more than it was, it was a good nameplay flip since you managed to combine two simple nameplays into a more complicated one...and the punchline related
3. The opener was good as well...I thought you discredited it with your expo, but its a decent idea...I don't really think its true, but still a good punch

Overall, you had a good focus on punches in your verse...your wordplay concepts could be more refined and you could have flowed better and increased the ferocity of the rhyme scheme (wasn't bad...wasn't great)...sometimes you think too much about the concept rather than punching, and I didn't like your closer...overall, fairly solid verse

Woods - LMAOooo @ the first punch, great flip...second punch, ohhhhhhh shittt!! This is a very impressive verse in terms of punchlines...you showed nice flow with your mutlisyllables when you used them as well, I think you were a lot more focused with landing direct shots than Junior, while his focus was on complicated punchlines you were just slugging the shit out of him...

One's I didn't like as much:

1. Rallying cars...its 'See-at' so the wordplay doesn't really work, plus I didn't really understand what seeing 8 had to do with anything as a diss...on the plus side, I liked your filler line, nice little diss
2...there isn't one, it was a strong verse

One's I thought you could have done better with:

1. Piling Ju's up...I thought while it was a pretty sick metaphor that nobody really calls him Ju's so its one of those borderline nameplays...I rinsed Sparta for it in our battle so I gotta point it out here, but it was still a nice punch, but loses impact for the "Ju's" nameplay aspect...not as direct as the rest of your stuff
2. GFX line...again, nice punch, but I thought you could have landed it harder...and in the context of all the other personals you threw at him it wasn't really stand out...again, I liked how you used your filler line - nice little diss
3. Weezy line...only really highlighting it because I don't want to include the rest in the final category!! I think it was a good flip that highlighted some of the weakness in his verse...and was a great set up punchline for your closer, solid punch but for how you used it I thought you could have landed harder

One's that I liked...a lot of them!!

First two punches, Shot JR was funny, Hades was creative, Wordplay battle - though twisting the truth a little was a strong punch (kind of like his opener but bit heavier), Closer was heavy punch...

Woods impressed me with this verse...not only did he bring personal punches and nail his opponent hard with them, he actually made quite good use of his filler lines to add intermediary disses into them...his style came across in his bars and it was a tenacious attack against JS...Where as Shade tried to outsmart Woods, Woods tried to out-punch Shade...and did so very effectively

It was a good battle...but Woods had much harder and direct punches, used his second spitter advantage well with his flips to weaken the impact of Shade's verse...and the strength of his punches highlights that while Shade landed good punches, he didn't really land anything that impacted like Wood's best lines...

Vote = Woods

Junior- Opener was nice and strong, was a good start...2nd bar was a pretty tight nameplay, really liked it...3rd bar could've been really killer but the wording seemed off to me, was an awesome idea though...4th bar again probably could've been worded better to be more killer, was another great idea that just didn't come out as hard as it should've...5th bar was decent but was brought down in comparison to previous weezy plays and wood's flip in his verse..6th bar was alright, kind of simple but decent enough..7th bar was pretty bad as the whole "plan it" thing is played and it really was kind of random, probably should've taken this bar out completely..8th bar was dope, easily your best bar...drag on was decent but again probably could've been harder as it seemed too simple and didn't hit that hard...Closer was also alright, just didn't seem like you went out in a bang...You started off really nice with two very good bars but then had some bars that could've been dope and then some misses...Still was a very good verse from you though you seemed to run out of ideas for the last couple of bars or so i think...Your first two bars and the rocking shades punches were your best and strongest..You then had wood work and mark which were dope ideas but not worded to their full potential..And then the drag on and planet were kind of misses while the weezy and closer were essentially flipped or just decent...Good to see you dropping again though, came with a strong verse...

Woods- Opener was killer, simple as that...2nd bar was also tight as hell though I thought the verse in the link was a good verse and the second line was a little stretched; either way it was still hard..3rd bar was very nice again, liked it...4th bar was very cool, i liked it a lot though people have told me many times that they don't like rearranging names as it gives too much freedom but i liked it as it was a simple rearrangement..5th bar was probably your worst as it wasn't thought out all the way, cool idea though...6th bar was pretty nasty as you said in your set up you'll be cutting him up, therefore having pieces to pile up, really clever too ...7th bar was really nice because of the set up and the fact he claimed you copied his style in the expo, so it was pretty effective...8th bar was decent though it could've been much much harder if you would've reworded that second line and not have it so stretched out, i liked the idea a lot too..9th bar was a very solid flip, and the closer was tight...Overall, this was a very hot verse from you with some sick pucnhes and some other bars with good ideas that could've been really nice...Either way, you were pretty consistent and did enough to pass junior as he had more misses in his verse...Your first 4 bars were very nice and then the fifth was your miss and then from there on, was a relatively hard verse...good job dude..

V/Woods...

3-0 ko, nice battle, woods keeps the title
