Ima be honest with you both: this battle sucked.

Rai: The whole Mexican Drug Money punch looks like it makes sense on the surface, but it honestly doesn't. If you had worded it slightly different it would've been just fine, but it's made to look like the Mexican Drug Money is the one laying down the law. The linebacker/butt buddy punch makes even less sense, tbh. There's nothing a linebacker does in football that has anything to do with defending someone's butt. They make tackles, drop back in coverage, but nothing to do with defending someone's butt. Felt like a total reach, imo. I laughed at the sergeant's on another base line because a sergeant wouldn't necessarily be looking for that on another base, but the visual was funny. Crack your head with a big stick logically didn't make sense because they're not the ones leaving the club smashed if they hit Auto with a stick, Auto is. Wording errors really hurt the punch strength there. Michael Jackson's Jacket punch was fairly solid, but keep in mind the whole setup line in quotes didn't need to be in quotes to get your point across. The whole vinyl track punch was BATS, tbh. "Put you in a tank full of kissing bugs" isn't exactly something you'd hear someone say as a threat to someone lmao so it kinda made the whole punch come off goofy. Closer is a reach in terms of a technicalities because you'd be removing a lot more than just thumbnails to free up your computer space. The thumbnails are almost completely irrelevant to freeing up computer space because they're simply display items of what is supposed to be in the file you're removing.

Overall this is well below your capabilities as a writer, and I feel I'm being generous in giving you a 5 here cause there's quite a bit of easily fixable mistakes in your verse.

Autograph: Right out of the gate we have a forced multi (I'll treat this battle like a COMPUTER MISTREATMENT). Redundancy of the term "treat" aside, how do you mistreat a computer? Are you implying some sort of personification for said computer to where it has feelings? I've never in my life heard the term computer mistreatment and I worked exclusively with computers while in the Army for quite a bit of time. You have to keep the phrases that you're using on a level plane in which you know they can be easily used in everyday talk. X his box/user agreement is a rather played idea but it's a punch nonetheless. Next line more forced multis (EXTERNALLY ROCKED FOR MINUTES & unCERTAINTY SHOCKER IS IT) you could've just said rocked for minutes and it would've worked just fine. Externally is what threw the whole multi in to Forcedville. Next one makes less sense. What on Earth is an uncertainty shocker? Like what does that mean, man? Stop trying to force multis out in a way in which it looks like you don't know how to speak English. I should be able to immerse myself in a battle verse and those kinds of multis hurt the immersion more than they help it. X-Ray/Doctor visit is one of those concepts to where you KNOW it's too obvious so you don't really try to use it. This is the reason why. It's a punch yeah, but it has little-to-no impact because of how easy it is to come up with the concept. Next few lines were ok. I had to Google the Major League/Charlie Sheen thing, but I'm gonna pull an EtH and dock points from your verse because of my not knowing a concept. Rays/sunlight is another obvious one. Fair in height/Fahrenheit plays regarding Celsius might be one of the most played/nonsensical wordplays of all-time (what does it mean to be fair in height? Serious question) Cheap cologne is a solid punch and your best one of your verse. The next section of rhyming was not good at all. Just cause it ends in -ography doesn't necessarily mean it rhymes. That's like saying "eagle" and "angle" rhyme because they both end in -gle. The next punch is BATS, tbh. Uber & Lyft are two different companies. That's like saying you're gonna go to a Coca-Cola factory to buy a Pepsi. 

Overall you also made some really bad errors in your verse like Rai did and are gonna get a 5 just like Rai did.

In a bit of a uncertainty shocker, I'm giving my vote to Auto here. His lows weren't as low as what I felt Rai's were and I felt he wasn't reaching as badly as Rai was to pull off some of his punches, although the rhyming at points was bad, to put it bluntly. Rai and Auto were tied in terms of their best bars (Michael Jackson's Jacket & Cheap Cologne). Both could do WAY better than this, though. Fair's in.

Fuck. Voted wrong way. Come fix this ROOL.

Typo: I'm NOT gonna pull an EtH. I'm already an asshole for dropping this vote, so I don't need to be more of one.

The fair's in. The fair's in. The fair's in. The fair's in. The fair's in. The fair's in. The fair's in. The fair's in. The fair's in. The fair's in. The fair's in. The fair's in. The fair's in. The fair's in.

I found this a very difficult battle to call, I didn't feel like either was at their best here. That being said, although both verses often didn't make much logical sense, Rai's made a lot more grammatical sense so I saw him winning. Essentially what I mean is that I didn't think the verses read both ways in either verse, but at least they read one way in Rai's.

Rai I thought your Michael Jackson line was your best, and the kind of line I was expecting from you the whole way through. A lot of the others didn't really make sense though. The Mexican Drug Money mini-jab thing just doesn't make sense to me. "laying down the law if someone crosses the border again" I guess could be linked into the Mexican drug trade, but just saying "like MEXICAN DRUG MONEY" is a really vague and non-relevant way of linking the two concepts and really wasn't enough here. I don't really understand American Football or the ways in which it is normally described so I won't comment on the "butt buddy" thing, although it did seem a bit odd. I thought the "sergeant on another base" line was solid, although I genuinely have no idea who "whats his face" is meant to be and it did feel a lot like a forced multi here. I liked the next bar, although the "nightclub/weapon" club wordplay is hella played. The kissing bugs one made sense after I googled it, but it just felt like a really specific and weird setup. It would have made more sense in a horrorcore-themed verse, or even if it was built into a several-bar-long narrative about kidnapping and torture or something like that (more than just 2 bars at the end), but here it just felt really weird and overly specific. Your closer had great potential but I really feel the execution wasted it. Thumbnails are just representations of the bigger thing you'd remove to free up computer space, I don't think anyone would really say "I'm gonna start pulling out thumbnails" if they were gonna start deleting pictures from their computer to free up space lol.

Auto, you had some fantastic ideas that made this really close, but in the end the way you conveyed them made so little sense to me at times that you just couldn't connect them enough to win here. Right from the start, what is "a computer mistreatment"? Genuinely, after re-reading the bar many times I still don't even have an inkling what that actually means in context (or out of context), it just feels like you threw some random words related to the punch together to get a multi. The actual punch here was fantastic and one of the best of the battle, but the forced multis really hurt its impact and readability. I also didn't really get the "viewers convenience" thing but I could work out what you meant by it with the context. Your next bar was even worse. "Externally rocked for minutes"? I guess that means you're gonna smash him up, but who on Earth has or will ever convey that idea by saying "I'm gonna externally rock that guy"? When you say things, you need to sound natural the way a regular person might say things, you can't afford to put together weird phrases just to fit a multi. And the next multi also didn't make sense. The term "an uncertainty shocker" makes no grammatical or logical sense really, and although it was clear that you basically meant "a surprise" it was just an absurdly unlikely way of phrasing it. The idea for the punch was OK, and it made sense I guess that you'd "x Rai out", but what does "I'll x-ray out" mean in the doctor's visit sense? Your wordplays need to actually make grammatical and logical sense both of the ways they can be read. The Charlie Sheen punch was alright, the Celsius/Farenheit one was executed solidly and if the concept wasn't so overused could have been a really heavy hit. The cologne punch was nice, but I didn't really understand the next punch at all, as in I just didn't get what you were actually saying about him. The closer had a simple idea but still managed to ruin it with the execution, because Lyft ≠ Uber.

I don't like to be harsh but I really feel there's no point in sugarcoating things to such experienced members. You guys can and need to do so much better, especially with the GC coming up.

Hmmm read twice this is a weird one. I'll break it down section by section top see if that helps me pick a winner. Rai: the four fuel lines were hit n miss for me. Sargeant line was pretty dope. Club smash was weak. MJ jacket too. Beatles line was basic but the closer was solid. Auto: Users agreement was pretty dope. X-Ray was predictable which hurt the impact. sheen was weak for me. Fair in height has been done to death with relation to Cel. Idea was nice but bad execution. Axe spray decent. Autobiography was weak. Closer pretty bad too imo. Overall: Both had 2 bars i was feeling. Rest was pretty fillerish and weak concepts. Man this is super hard tbh lol. I guess its bar vs bar and ones wording was better. Weird one, votes in. 1/

LoD

Hot shot. Young gun. Major league. All are Charlie sheen movies. The rest should be obvious. & it's DedSec! Good shit Rai. Glad we finally got a battle in after all this time. 

LoD

Rai - i liked the word play, but you started out a little slow and unsteady, almost like you was trying to hard but actually miss the punchline you was attempting to build up. ("You'll be embarrassed after you get body bagged". I like my RIVAL'S WRAPPED IN PLASTIC So "you'll be all red when you get zipped up" without "MICHAEL JACKSON'S JACKET!") this was overall your best bar. Sort of a tripple threat Great punch, a simple meta and perfect multies. You took a played out concept and freshened it up. 

Auto -  I’m a young gun so PARDON ME, rais only practice for the GC, I’m TARGETING this actor who thinks he’s major league? nah just CHARLIE SHEEN! - i feel like this was your best bar as far as a punch and multies..... his death is pictureis perfect like LOTS OF PHOTOGRAPHY. we’ll see some obscenity scenes, but NOT NO PORNOGRAPHY. is what i felt really slowed this verse for you due to it lacking a strong or meaningful punch and weak multies. 

Overall - i feel like Rai edged it with his punches and more complete multies. 

FV In Fellahs.

Dedsec!

It's DedSec!!

Oh shittttt! Typo from hell. Supposed to read "center lineman of the team"  not linebacker. Lol my mistake.  Guess this needs a brief expo.

The "center offensive lineman" will hike a quarterback the football. quarterback is all in the center lineman ass as he waits for the hike. The center lineman also protects the quaterback. His "butt buddy" lol also the first two lines w/the MEXICAN DRUG MONEY is a mini punch/jab setup leading into the football angle. Line as in borderline and as in line of scrimmage.  

Club as in a place to dance, club as in a huge bat like stick. 

Also for dumbasses like guts, kissing bugs are poisonous beatles. When you put  someone in a TANK, and you don't want them to get out, you would have to snap/latch the latch.

Thumbnails as in small pictures of LARGE pictures on computers. And thumbnails as in the ones on your hand

 Anything else you don't understand, hmu.

Rai - i am still LMAOing at the butt buddy shit lol. loved it lol. liked the sergeant and the beatles flip too not a fan of the set up for the beatles unch tho a lil obscure. the thumbnails shit was dope tho, that club and stick reference is something snipe worthy not really meant for battleing someone like auto tho overall a pretty titght spit the, much like the manhattan verse this one had a punch almost every bar which was really nice.

Auto - pretty decent spit bro, liked the opener and the farheniet wordplay and loved the axe and cologne shit that was my fav one. only problem was that the x ray and the uber references a lil too overused against rai and in other battles too. still as usual a pretty smooth verse i felt like u didnt push urself much tho.

Overall i am going with Rai for better consistency here.

btw i know ya all motherfucker saving up bars for the GC and going easy on this tourney but only imma bring the real saaxxx !!!

DEDSEC!!!

♤♧DEDSEC♧♤

start pulling fingernails out like im FREEING UP COMPUTER SPACES lmfao bro hahaha/ will result with an axe to the chest like CHEAP COLOGNE LOL these two lines stood out for me as hilarious as fuck a good hard battle but the winner for me was rai with punches that were just the tinyest bit harder and more complex BSA

Nice read.. both dropped fire verses...punches we're nice on both sides with dope multis..felt ones vers3 was a bit more stronger.. could go either way

Both good I liked rai’s punchlines more and I thought he had thought about them a bit more however I didn’t get the minutiae of the football reference cause I’m not American so I can’t really comment on that

riepers vote has been deleted, you can now revote to fix it. 

Solid battle from both here, though both also had some down sides to me while reading this. Rai in his execution in some parts of his verse. And Autograph in his use in some cases of some pretty played ideas. I'm going to give this to the emcee that I felt brought a more consistent verse from start to finish with their punches. Where as the other waned in punch strength from line to line. 

Given i don't know the history between you 2 , i read both multiple times and give my vote based on the lines,  syllables we smoother seemed better thought out both are decent just liked 1 better, no hate.

it was a really close, one. the reason i didn't vote before was because i just couldn't decice who should win. i've always been horrible with decicions. lol.
