You're both elite battlers, so I won't go into what you could do better or what not. You both know what you're doing. Judging these two verses before me though, I feel like Lockhart had a cleaner read with his multie sets. Rai had better ideas throughout although they weren't presented the best. The exhausted line from Hoffa was the best because for some reason I think you both tried to be unrealistically over-complex at parts. Simple is better some times. MVGT Hoffa.

Also, swaying in the comments isn't allowed guys. Just let the voters vote.

PUNISHED!!!

Pun ish!

Fucking close battle here the multi game from both was next level with the flow an both had dope concepts so I’m dropping you both an 8. Hard decision an no hate as I’m cool with both yall but I’m edging this way 

Rai: "FORMING DAMASCUS BLADES!! You should "Oil Up Your Methods"" ........ if you were talking about syria and its oil deposits (damascus is the capital of syria) that woulda been super forward thinking and dope as shit. reading your expo, its still dope.. 

fuck it this is gonna be long, dont block me...  imo, i think rai has a way more intuitive mindset, especially the way he sprays, reminds me of street battles. His prowess strengthend with his grasp of the technique.

Jimmy's verses (explicity refering to this one; including past posts), i feel are tangibly superior to his oppents. Rai is not as solid. thats the only real thing i see that differs between these two. 

personally, rai got more into detail 

i dig that, shit like this:

You then "Publicly Showed Your Ass" like when SMOKEY SHIT IN CRAIG'S YARD!!

fire man

Damn, these expos are daunting yo

After reading this for the third time I don't know if I actually have my winner or if I just leaned on him for a third time. Both expos matched what they bars said perfectly. Both executed, both have improved a crazy amount in the past couple years. Hate voting on this shit

fv

I felt my choice was more direct with the punches and consistent. They stuck and were easy to follow. I felt the opponent stretched some of the bars and they just didnt hit as hard as they could have... I got the fair in, no hate. Please check out my text and audios. I did like the idea behind the swords and crafting @Rai that was dope. 

This battle is dope. Kinda some obscure references on both sides which could be a detriment due to lack of relativity to the voters. Winner edges this one due to a slightly more consistent verse. 

Fv

to me this was very even, so hard to call a winner, I find Hoffa's verse flowed better and thus hit harder whereas Rai had some nice punches, Iespecially liked that Damascus line. Both had lines where switching out maybe one or two words would've made one of either battlers punches hit way harder(acid instead of forming for Damascus, Hoffa I think OD'ing on the magician box line) and going a bit further with it). Either way hard one to choose. Fv but nice job from both

It took me alot of time and I had to do some searching on some of the shit you guys said.. I read this over about 5-6 times to be honest and its a very close battle.. hopefully I dont catch no hate for this vote ima just keep it 100. I thouht you both punched pretty equal and had equal flow and structure so it really came down to preference, I liked that line about how you say Jimmy bit bars but Ive never heard of that before till now.. there was some people mentioned that I didnt even know about and had to ask who they were with explaination... So anyways just based off preference here Ima roll with Hoffa on that one.. only minus I could use to sway there was the holding in you're next fart line was kind of weak to me.. I need a little excuse at best right lol anyways there it is... GB FV noh8... lets keep it clean

My winner had dope punches  and dope plays that connected really well. 

Fair in

Dope battle y'all 

I liked the opening four, my fave from this was the ending line and the punch just before it. Heavy stuff. I Wasn’t a big fan of the second in the overall four but it flowed nice with good rhymes. I’m also not a big Harry Potter fan but this line was dope, had to check the expo to fully get it though. The blowing smoke from the start line I felt was the weakest in what was a heavy set of bars but it was still fire, and relevant to your opponent also. Real neat and nice closer. Sick film to reference also haha

Jesus that opening 4 leading to that punch was phat as fuck. Again the expos saved me with most of these, without them I would have been lost lol. Smokey’s shit In Craig’s yard loooool text bars don’t usually make me laugh but that was funny. This whole verse was punch heavy, the references were original and the last punch was a site one which was a nice touch. I liked the way you both ended on a quick but effectively heavy two bar with three rhymes.

I’m too late to vote, promised I would but this was hefty as fuck and I had responsibilities. It’s literally really fucking hard to choose when both are so good. my choice would have been Rai as he was punching so often and heavy, Hoffa is a known beast though. Wouldn’t like to battle either of these two as they would skin me like a cat at this current moment in time.

Fuck if I would have voted it would have made a difference perhaps! Sorry Rai
