I read through this several times and changed my mind a bit, I felt it was a very close battle. At the end of the day I gave it to Semion by the narrowest of margins. Burdens, I thought your Percy Jackson line was fire and easily the botb. However, I felt Semion's verse kinda flowed together more and was overall a bit more consistent; Burdens kinda had a series of unconnected punches whereas Semion gave more of a single narrative (replete with some solid wordplay) which was personal as far as Burdens' career on LB but didn't go into irl stuff I didn't know about so I found it highly effective. 

Percy Jacksons series of books - The Sea Of Monster. Percy is Poseidon's son. In the books & movies his best friend is half goat. Tailings are the rocks that have been ran through the machines already & seperated from the gold.

This one could go either way.

Semion I feel you didn't have enough punched in this one. But the ones you had were solid. Like the Pillager one. Execution wasn't as good as what I just read from you but it was still not too bad. The second scheme you used was quite choppy at points. Nice flip on the closer tho.

Burdens I felt you had some nice lines in this verse. Opener was nice but the second bar didn't hit imo, just not a really direct attack with a creative flip. The Percy Jackson line was fiyyah tho, my fav in this battle. Gold mining line was nice but would've hit harder with a better setup, I did like how you kept everything relevant to the concept in that bar. Closer was quick and a nice bitchslap imo.

Overall I'mma lean towards Burdens here. He had more punches that I felt dropped harder than Semion who wasn't too far behind, but didn't have enough to make me edge this to him.

just burdens

This was a good battle fellas I felt one edged this one out with the better punches tho. My fair is tossed
