[HDC: WarSpawn vs. BCT]

War V1 - City/town opener is mediocre, "and your battle with Gas" (huge gasp) "you a ???? invention". Addressing BCT as the champ would be better if you had flowed better, state of emergency is way off beat. EP diss is delivered poorly.

Bummer V1 - 'Not used to it' is a nice flip. SJD battle is sloppy is nice. Entered in raffle is amusing. Legend flip is incredibly powerful.

War V2 - Immediate legend flip is delivered well but weak in concept. Attacking BCT for filler, then you come with the sports bra line? Dude, come on... West Bumblefuck is funny. Age diss, name diss, etc. are like mosquito bites. None of them really hit home hard.

Bummer V2 - N-word flip is okay, rhyme scheme bolsters it significantly. Flow diss is okay, nerd diss is okay. Three wins is okay, Metal Gear is okay.

What the hell happened here? I love War and Bummer, so why do they both sound so weak here? War's flow is way off and Bummer's lines just don't do it for me. I'd still give it to Bummer based on delivery but this is a sad day.

[Aural Twerkn it]

Damn, you sound nice as hell on a slow beat. Your voice and style work really well when you sound depressed, which might be kind of an underhanded compliment but it's true. Backhanded or not, this genuinely sounds really smooth. Not sure I understand the lyrics but if this is supposed to be anything like Aesop Rock (I hear they're an inspiration) then maybe I'm not supposed to.

MaoDaMighty responds:

Im pretty sure this one was the product of a verse and hook I wrote and recorded in a sitting or Lib ShimShimz asked to rap on the beat for something or another...I don't remember... thanks though... I guess I'll get an emo haircut and emo face paint- they wear face paint, right?

[[H] - Blessed W/O Ft.]

"Mine was three weeks in, so you actually lacked to give a factual reason."

AHAHAHAHA!!

Oh man, I really don't want to slam on you but it's damn hard not to. Decent track I suppose, one big problem is that your rhyme scheme is a little simple. You use a lot more internal rhymes and not very many multis (you use your rhyme scheme to spell out your death rattle, AAAAAAAA!!). A few lines are kind of iffy, like the knock you out your clothes line. What is this, Battle Raper?

Last thing I'll touch on is flow. Not to be a hypocrite here, but your delivery is pretty flat. Your voice doesn't need to be that deep, so if you spoke more naturally I imagine you'd have a bit more resonance.

Also, you reused the struggle/buckle rhyme in Chaotic.

Dope beat though.

[FF | Abyssal]

Percussion is a little repetitive but I love the melody. Very chill. Lots of layers to add complexity as well, which is a major plus. I like that the sampling is done very sparingly.

[Kill Bill v Senator Dean]

KillBill - '25 dollars in the battle' is funny as hell. 'Bargain me off' is probably more accurate than I think it is. 'Never shown your face' is okay. 'Yeah I guess you're funny' is great, 'you're a black dude, we get the point' is solid, Paypal line is a great finisher, shows that he doesn't even really care about the battle.

Senator - 'Fuck cops' is good, Occupy Wall Street was a little beside the point. Picture flip is okay. 'Disaster relief' is kind of a continuation of the OWS thing, politics are way off-topic. 'All about appearance' is good, finisher could have been decent but 'methinks no' is a really awkward cringy line.

KillBill stayed on topic and on point. Giving him the win.

[Yun - Dig It]

A little too simple for its own good. Maybe throw in a bassline or at least some kind of a melody. As it is it sounds kind of generic.

[HDC: WarSpawn vs. Wolfie]

WarSpawn V1 - MickeyMao diss is funny and strong. Twitter diss is funnier.

Wolfie V1 - Twitter flip is decent, John Dean diss is decent. Too many words in a line. N-word flip is decent.

WarSpawn V2 - John flip is decent, Twitter diss is nice. Credibility flip is alright. Name diss is alright.

Wolfie V2 - Beat diss is funny, it was bound to come sometime. ClabTrap and HDC disses are solid, F-word diss is decent.

I was expecting War to tear Wolfie apart but when it comes down to it Wolfie threw more punches and War just didn't match them. Close battle, I think War might have been able to win but not this time.

Ironically the beat is better than any of the four verses in the battle.

[Yun+WS - Intro]

Whoa. Nice as fuck. Relentless imagery, rhymes are sometimes hit and miss and flow wavers at times but all in all the little mistakes give it a very raw sound to it that I've come to expect from WS. Yun makes an awesome beat too.

[CLAB - Joey vs Gasmasq]

JoeyKeys V1 - People have been using name disses against Gasmasq for years now, it's really not clever anymore. Lost to Rav and MadFlex is decent, mayor diss is funny, album diss is much heavier. Drawings diss is decent, philosopher diss is okay.

Gasmasq V1 - Opticals flip is consistent with Keys' finisher. Didn't win until afterward is good, broken flow flip is alright, didn't save you an album / domain flip is awesome. Jaw's wired shut is strong, PiGPEN flip is awesome. Producer diss is decent but a little off-beat.

JoeyKeys V2 - Flow gets worse since last time. Google diss is decent. Same flow since 2005 is okay. Doubletime is bad.

Gasmasq V2 - Interruption line is solid, doubletime flip. Google flip is solid, compliment for both verses is nice. Last several bars are mediocre.

Both of the first verses are the best in the battle. Joey uses a lot of punches but doesn't put enough sting into them. Gasmasq matches the punches with flips of equal quantity and greater quality. Joey doesn't respond with enough flips and even Gas' mediocre second verse is enough to give him the win.

[CLAB- PsioNic vs JoeyKeys]

PsioNic V1 - Drug diss is pretty much the only personal here but you have some really clever and unusual rhymes.

JoeyKeys V1 - Better flow is immediately apparent. "Nothing to say to me" is tight. A little overproduced, made it a bit tougher to understand. Monotone diss is okay. Lines like the one about 'how many takes' were delivered with aggression and worked out well, hanging flip is a nice finisher.

PsioNic V2 - Flow seems a little weaker. Emotion line is a little rich considering Joey (rightfully) called you monotone.

JoeyKeys V2 - Really hard to understand and a lot of filler. 0 Kelvin line is tight, toast to Joey Keys is a strong finisher.

Overall both emcees could have come a lot harder but PsioNic owned with his rhymes and Joey really brought it with his delivery. I'd give it to Joey by a small margin, would have been nice if there had been even one knockout punch.
