Not really a fan of the machine gun sound, but this is a really chill beat. Very smooth. Sounds really dumb to say this sounds overproduced since this is a sample battle, but you did damn well given the rules for the comp.
The machine guns did kind of disrupt the relaxing tone of the rest of the beat though.
Setting aside from the fact that I can't help but think your girlfriend is being flushed down the toilet what with the icon spinning around and around (which would be another appropriate reason to be saying goodbye)...
The song is a little sporadic. At times it sounds almost like four song samples that stop abruptly only to start up on a completely different tangent. Some bits sound a little sloppy while others sound very clean. The mood isn't very consistent either - I feel like it began with the right kind of emotion but later got oddly energetic around 40 seconds in. That being said there are a lot of different musical ideas here and this is a damn nice recording.
I agree, I could have done a couple takes to make sure it wasn't as sloppy as it was. I really appreciate the review, Kwing. Thanks!
Okay. The Steve lines get really repetitive, especially since you're really rapping about yourself. Number one at the bottom three is a nice diss because of the messed up brackets. Redundant name was really the only personal thrown in the second verse. Solid bars though.
Heavy metal mishaps and name disses were the only personals, very nice rhyme scheme though. Second verse was worse, rhyme scheme remained the same and the rhymes got a little bit cheesy. The Texas line was the only one that was a personal. Finisher was cool though.
Fuck this is tight, I can't believe Linez vs ICONIC never happened. Really awesome bomber beat, then a little bit of a gentle jazzy element a little while in. Nice fusion. Could use a baseline but otherwise this is sick.
Murdaa V1 - "Oh-ah-oi" is a strong way to start off the track, Warcraft line is decent, especially with Flash game follower. Can't keep a simple flow is nice.
Ockeroid V1 - Age of consent line is good but delivered poorly, Nobel Prize line is strong in concept and delivered. "One skill is trash" is nice, cardinal sin is weak.
Murdaa V2 - Sin flip is lame, simple ass lines is a great diss and very relevant. Open your ears is decent, probably needs to be said. Flash flip is a stronger flip to a strong punch, very nice.
Ockeroid V2 - Tiny Tim flip is good, appearance diss is okay, "something you've never seen" is a very simple rhyme, lame, unborn/porn is also weak. Gangster diss is strong, internet follower is funny. Also isn't this the 2nd round?
A good 2nd round battle, Ockeroid attacks a lot in his second verse but his delivery needs a lot of work. Murdaa is more on point and throws in a few punches that hit harder. Tough decision but I'd give Murdaa the win. Ockeroid will probably outclass Murdaa in a few years though.
Slightly difficult to understand but I'll try and judge anyway.
MadFlex - Drunk line is okay, Texcuses is an awesome line since Teq is a pretty arrogant fuck with no shortage of hot air. Nimbus carbon copy is heavy as hell. Couldn't hang with John Dean is another nice hit. Message board line is a bit of an inside reference, might be relevant but I don't care. Imitation is another very hard hitting line, warp zone is clever (I usually don't remark on filler). Immortal Technique is lame since the two MCs have absolutely nothing in common. Soldier line may or may not be relevant, I don't know if MadFlex has served in the military although I know Teqneek has. Flo from Progressive is another brilliantly clever bar. Cynic, Suddle or Scuare is decent but doesn't get in-depth enough to hit hard, you could have expanded on this diss rather than stick in a bunch of filler before it. Turn nothing into news is nice, especially since you just busted 32 bars over this guy.
Teqneek - Karaoke line is a personal but doesn't do that much damage. Paramedics is an okay flip to the soldier line. Vanished from competition is a little ironic since you got him to battle in the first place. 'Talking to you' is an example of how MadFlex spits better filler between personals. Bowing out during conquest is a really nice line since this was uploaded before the finals (which Teqneek won!)
I'd still hand this to Flex by a landslide. Came with more personals, harder personals, better filler AND better flow.
Kind of cool to see MadFlex has beaten all of the other winners of the NGHH competitions (Cynic was the real winner of 2010) except for Scuare. Too bad he's retired from battle 'cause I'd love to see a MadFlex vs Scuare.
Oh lord, the cringe.
All the virtue crap really turns me off. Politicians are strategic cocksuckers, don't glorify it. Flow is a little sporadic, too.
Your mayor could use a bit more emotion in her verse. I'm not expecting greatness, but she could bring a little more stage presence. And this woman is your mayor? Socially relevant issues are a bit oversimplified.
Gas' street life stuff is a little generic, too but I feel like it's still delivered well enough. Mayor's second verse is alright, I like the money and food stamps line. Daughters and sons is pretty cheesy.
Sorry dude, I really can't get behind the lyrics.
Future V1 - Flow pauses too much. Google diss is weak. Lots of filler and weak rhyme scheme.
Senator V1 - Late verse diss, Soundcloud line is very nice, name diss with the other artists is nice as hell. Who the fuck is he flip is okay. Flow is incredibly strange, sometimes on beat, sometimes way off. It sounds decent but unnatural at the same time.
Future V2 - Doubletime is lame, you should only rap faster if you have more to say, so if you're going to write filler, don't. Soundcloud shout-out is a nice flip.
Senator V2 - Street flip is hilarious, especially with the acronyms. "Fuck your girl" bars are mediocre. Enunciate! is strong, fast flow and gun flip are good too, 'fake' finisher is strong, actual finisher fails at being funny.
Senator wins with more relevant disses.
Interesting, two rappers infamous for bad doubletime. Heh.
Blest V1 - Doubletime diss is brought down by the bad doubletimed garbage bag line. Rampant line is solid. Lots of filler though.
Byron V1 - Gay joke is fucking awful. Mic back flip is alright, where do I start is strong, on beat diss is solid but relative to Blest.
Blest V2 - Gay flip is okay. Rhyming superior with inferior is awful. Oh yeah, and then you called him a faggot. Boss diss is okay.
Byron V2 - Gay flip is lame but still better than Blest's, Tupac flip is strong. Lightswitch line is nice. Pee on a tree line is great, does a lot of damage to Blest. Not the best/way better than you is very true since Byron doesn't deliver perfect doubletime but still does it better than Blest.
Blest isn't bad but a lot of his lines end up hurting him more than helping him. Byron's last verse sways the battle in his favor very heavily.
