[CLAB - Jar vs Breaker]

Jar V1 - Muffins lines are hilarious. I like how this doesn't even have anything to do with rap. Defending Breaker from Teqneek is even funnier.

Breaker V1 - Half of the hits is a nice flip. Rhyme compliments are nice but somewhat generic. Viking warrior with babyface cuteness is even funnier. "Imma watch some more after this!"

Jar V2 - Share a stage is nice. Teeth are disgusting is kind of ironic because of Luke James' battle last round.

Breaker V2 - A little off-beat but nice delivery. Fossil fuel, nice. I like that you rhyme Jar as a finisher but the line just isn't above and beyond.

This is a really damned close battle. I think the first verses are definitely the best - really enjoyed the cupcake lines and the one about babyface cuteness. If you two really are such long-standing friends I'm sure I missed a shitload of references, but whatever. I really don't know if I could drop a vote on this. I'd say Breaker being off-beat on his second verse is the only definitive thing that gives Jar the edge. Both had some really funny lines, but both also had some filler here and there.

[CLAB - Teqneek vs Prometheus]

Teqneek V1 - Fire hydrant line is a little cheesy. Black Moses is alright, time to disqualified twice is nice.

Prometheus V1 - Won thrice is a good flip, Carefoot line is amusing, beef line is on point, fire hydrant is a very strong flip. Bouncing on Big Red's dick, nice.

Teqneek V2 - Isn't embarrassed is lame without an explanation, you brought up Bieber yourself so don't flip it. Aliases actually aren't funny. Four fans is nice, rhyming piss with shit is good. TK and a DQ is a great line.

Prometheus V2 - Nice flow but the first bit half is all filler. Fan flip and SoundCloud are powerful. Comedy flip is good too, Lonely Island is an awesome follower. Eyedea line is lame since Teqneek sounds nothing like him. The outro was probably the worst outro I've ever heard, and I've been listening to a LOT of these battles.

Teqneek's first verse was awful, his second one was mostly barren except for two strong punches. Prometheus has stronger flips but goes ham in his second verse. I really didn't like the filler in the beginning of his second verse but he has strong delivery and his internal rhymes half-flip the 'piss and shit' line; the rhymes aren't strong, but the scheme is. Teqneek's rhymes are hit-and-miss, so honestly I don't consider that line to be quite as strong coming from him. That's not to say Prometheus' rhymes are great either - it's really shaky. Prometheus throws a couple more decent punches and then slits his own throat with his outro.

That being said, I think Prometheus still takes the battle. His flips are not only valid but also delivered better (that's why you get pissed on/Lonely Island called...) I had a lot to dislike about Prometheus in this battle as well as a lot to like, but overall I feel like that goes to show that he owned the mic and Teqneek didn't. He was memorable.

[Topic Loop]

Maybe I've played too many puzzle games, but this song pisses me off by virtue of me imagining that I'm trying to solve a puzzle and failing at it. I like the variation that you tossed in, but it could probably have stood to have a really ambient breakdown or something. It's something that most of these loops don't have, but it really helps to prevent it from drilling a hole in your head when you're playing a really tough game for 45+ minutes.

AxTekk responds:

Hmmmmm I see what you mean, but I guess I just had too many things I already wanted to pack into 4 minutes, plusss I figured the two (admittedly brief and still intense) breakdown sections added enough of a breather whilst still making it feel like things were being piled on top. I kinda wanted it to feel like a shepherd tone, always feeling like it's rising in intensity but actually just returning to the same point.

But yeah, 100% see what you mean. Guaranteed to drill holes in skulls.

[Teq Vs Ax 3steylebattelll]

After much thought, I'm going to cast my vote in favor of Lil C. Teqneek was way off-topic, Ax threw some punches and even flipped some shit, but Lil C went ham - most complex rhymes, attacked more consistently and brought it with strongest delivery.

I would have given this more stars if I hadn't cringed so much.

AxTekk responds:

round here there's no "i" in cringe

[CLAB - suddle vs Willizard]

Suddle V1 - This is the first time I've actually heard you talk for a decent amount of time, 'one' opener is a strong diss, hype diss is amazing, never heard a gay diss sound so good. Decent filler.

Willizard V1 - Gay flip is sound but poor rhyme scheme and flow. Wastes far too many bars on dicks.

Suddle V2 - Rhyming 'you will' is boring. 'Introducing nothing new to the battle' is good. Lack of personals is even better.

Willizard V2 - Gay flip is far too hypocritical at this point, same with repetitive. Smorg diss could have been better, why did you have to make it so bland?

I don't think Suddle has ever sounded this good on the beat. Suddle for the obvious win.

[HDC - Mickey Mao v Wolfie]

Mao V1 - Shout-out line, nasally sound, lamb chop are all nice as hell. Execution/music is kind of a tacky rhyme.

Wolfie V1 - Same mistakes since day 1, flow diss, art sucks. Decent personals, but all of this stuff has been said against Mao before. Put yourself down/fake friend is very strong.

Mao V2 - Two years ago/actually prepared is nice. Ability to imagine is great. Finisher is a little awkward.

Wolfie V2 - Three voices is decent. Lack of content. That face/wise choice is decent.

Wolfie comes with some decent personals but most of them are in the same vein. I know it can be hard to come up with new lines when this is the third time you've battled but it really shows itself here. I haven't heard the other two battles but if Mao is reusing the same disses he does a better job of hiding it. Wolfie out-flows Mao by a little bit, but Mao makes up for it with lyricism by a larger margin.

Looks like these last three battles have swung in Mao's favor. You should go get your ass kicked by Bummer, who knows if you'll have the opportunity to do something like that again?

[PiG vs Teq (Chipmunk Rmx)]

I nearly lost it at "prepare your anus." In other news, Teqneek's delivery finally sounds different! Laughed at the finisher, which sounded vaguely normal.

Given that this is just a chipmunk track, I feel I cannot give an accurate rating based on effort, so I'll give you an even 5/10 and refrain from voting.
