Close one but I got Fiddy winning. Fiddy had some played bars (lines/coke is way too played to really work at this point and the whole strap/spine brace thing was just talked about in a biting accusation. Not saying you bit, but be a bit more careful on the concepts you use). I liked the Masvidal KO punch and your opener your best in your verse. Guts you also had some shit you woulda been better off not using the (the whole political bars went a bit stale after a while, imo. First couple were a couple nice but Fidel/Cuban bars have been done on Fiddy to death). Also your closer doesn't make sense (Punk doesn't make metal music bro lmfao) The Siamese twins bar was pretty good and your BOTB but everything else was kinda meh to just ok. The whole slew of political bars one after another kinda cost you here. Fair's in.

Word, Good luck

DEDSEC!!!

Need to deface/ knee to the face, Masivdal is a ufc champ who knocked out Ben Askren in 5 seconds with a knee to the head.

Angelina jolie was in a movie called Wanted, long story short they can curve bullets. I didn’t expect guts to take shots at me directly.

Verse was rushed like a mf. Good luck again guts, good shit.

Nice spar here, gents. Both had some good concetps. The Masvidal bar was the BOTB for me. My votes for Fidel as he had a smoother flowing/better fluiditiy/readability to his piece than Guts. Guts 'che to your castro' was pretty solid. Anyway, good luck to both. 

100 - Respect, Tha Dons vote.

Fidel - Solid, consistent verse. Liked the Masvidal KO & Pros & Cons bars, I don't really like gunplay bars much but the photoshoot punch was nice. The rest were decent enough to keep the consistency alive. Nothing that was super standoutish, but nothing that was just straight falling flat either. 

Guts - Really liked the opening. Corbyn punch was nice also and the critical strike and the closer were probably my favorite 2 punches of the battle. I thought your verse was just consistent, however, it could use some polishing in certain lines like the che to castro bar. 

Definitely an enjoyable battle by both of you. Not a huge fan of gun bars but both had some nice ones in there. I read it over twice and I have guts as my winner. Battle was close but the closing 2 bars for guts is what got him the vote for me. 

I'm diggin this shit. Hotlister. Both came with nice punches, acouple extra capped word that didn't make up with the next set of capped words - Kind of defeats the purpose. But both still understandable, this seems like more of a punchline battle to me. Keep that shit up. FV In Fellahs

ITS DEDSEC MOTHAFUCKA

DedSec.

Fidel, pretty solid verse here. But, some of your setups can be SUPER long winded, which sort of deafens their impact slightly. Try to word things in a way that's a bit more concise. An example of this is the "expertise in crime" set up. I think this idea can be executed in a way that isn't as verbose, and will free up some additional space for other bars. Conceptually, you were pretty solid throughout, aside from a few played/older ideas, and the knee to the face wordplay I mean, Wanted came out almost a decade ago. Not the freshest idea, and the extra phonetic sounds in NEED TO sort of hinders the wordplay. Guts, a lot of played material here, I'm going to level with you. Calling people gay is such an old idea that it either has to be an incredibly funny approach, or VERY fresh. This was neither. Same with Fidel Castro bars. They've been done to death. I liked the personal approach to this, but, felt you spent a little too long harping on the same idea in this capacity. I'd like to see some more varied personals when going that direction, or for the personals to be varied in their execution, if using the same idea. Overall, I've got Fidel taking this with some crisper, more creative concepts which helped in aiding their punchlines and make them hit a bit harder to me. Solid battle from both, though. 

My loser had a dope ass drop. But what cost him was some of his verses seemed to be run on. Certain ones didn't need the extra you put on it. They'd had hit harder of you'd left them how they were at first. My winner went straight in simple read. Precise and on target with delivery. Both great matchup. My winner would be a 8 but points off fir some run ons in his too. 

Okay, so I read it, twice. Heres my thoughts:

Fidel, I felt like your first bar was pretty straight forward, and the flip wasn't overly clever, and the transition to the second line was abrupt, but the punch was okay. Improve your posture part was probably my favourite out of your verse, I liked this bar. Weighed the pros and cons was good too, I thought this was pretty good, when I got to the bar line, I was like what bar doesn't have any lights, so I felt this was kind of reachy, or just too simple, the taking lines / coke thing was a bit played, but it was executed decently. You ending off strong with the two photo shoot and wanted bars, the photo shoot punches first multi read hella weird, I would of opted a better multi here, i'm sure you could of come up with one. Decent verse, some inconsistencies but over-all decent. 

Guts, the first bar was okay, a bit simple. I wasn't really feeling the second punch, I thought it was worded weird. I wasn't feeling your third punch at all, twins / going up to be men that are more than friends etc ??. At this point I was like fuck, this is a bad verse, but after that, you completey turned it around, I thought the Che / Castro punch was a clever idea but you could of executed it better, but it hit for me, the cuban revolution punch was dope too, I liked it, but the political life / critical strike bar was crazy, not gonna lie, my favourite from you and this battle, the idea was dope, personally I may changed some wording here and there, but I think you executed it well enough for it to hit hard. Goodjob on that one, I also thought you finished okay, metal / punk is kinda played, but adding the personals to this and the fact you executed it okay, it hit for me. This verse had a poor start but was pretty strong in like 40% of the verse. A verse of two halves basically. 

Overall, imma hand this to Fidel, I felt like he was a bit simple in areas, but they still connected, albeit not the hardest but his verse was just a bit more consistent throughout. I gotta hand Guts BOTB though, i'd be proud of that bar. Going forward I think my winner should focus on coming in with a more creative twist on his set ups, and my loser to focus being a little more consistent throughout his verse. Thank's for writing out these verses, they were a joy to read. Goodluck to the winner!
